Over time, concrete naturally hardens, leading to the development of cracks. That's why we were called to assist a home in Bluefield, VA, having issues with its concrete sidewalk. Our home inspector swiftly identified poorly compacted soil beneath the concrete slab as the root cause. To provide a prompt solution, we recommended our innovative PolyLyft method.
PolyLyft is specifically engineered to elevate and level various surfaces, including sunken concrete slabs. This process entails injecting a specially formulated expanding foam beneath the affected area to gently raise the sunken slab back to its original position. Unlike traditional methods like complete concrete replacement, PolyLyft offers a cost-effective and long-lasting solution. Choosing PolyLyft not only saves homeowners time and money but also ensures a durable fix for their concrete sidewalk.
This crawlspace in Bluefield, VA, had become a prime environment for mold and spore growth. Concerned that mold and moisture were causing the persistent odor, the homeowners reached out to Master Services for a reliable waterproofing solution. The area had been encapsulated by the home builder years ago, but with subpar materials and poor technique. Our crew installed the CleanSpace vapor barrier, a durable, high-quality liner that covers the floor, walls, and columns of the crawlspace, effectively preventing further moisture and mold issues. The bright CleanSpace liner also improved the appearance, making the area suitable for clean storage.
In Atkins, VA, a homeowner approached Master Services for assistance in upgrading their crawlspace. After conducting a thorough inspection, we identified an issue with the existing plastic sheet covering the ground. It was found to be thin and inadequate in providing long-term protection. Multiple tears and rips in the plastic had resulted in stagnant water pools, leading to the growth of mold and potential damage to the floor beams. To address these concerns, we proposed the installation of a reliable CleanSpace moisture barrier as the initial line of defense. This specially designed barrier effectively controls the levels of water and moisture, preventing them from raising humidity in the crawlspace. By doing so, it inhibits the growth of mold and spores, ensuring a healthier and safer environment.
Our team visited a church near Sugar Grove, VA that had an excess of water in the basement. Water accumulates in below-grade spaces due to heavy rains, and it will create the right conditions for mold if not remediated. To fix it, our team installed a sump pump system and perimeter drainage system, which keep moisture from building and causing damage.
A property owner not far from Falls Mills, VA contacted us about his vacation home. He'd detected a foul odor wafting up from his crawlspace, so he was concerned about the condition of his home. Our team inspected the crawlspace, then recommended a few systems: our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, TripleSafe sump pump, and CleanSpace vapor barrier.
