During the colder months, this Hixson homeowner began experiencing moisture buildup in their crawl space, a common issue when cooler temperatures trap damp air beneath the home and create ideal conditions for mold, mildew, and eventual wood rot. Before repairs, elevated humidity and existing mold growth were putting the home’s structural components and indoor air quality at risk. Master Foundation & Crawl Space Repair addressed the problem by first removing mold using a professional soda-blasting treatment designed to safely eliminate contamination without damaging the structure. To prevent the issue from returning, our team fully encapsulated the crawl space with a durable CleanSpace® vapor barrier along the floors and walls, sealed vents, wrapped support piers, and installed an EverLast™ crawl space access door to block out cold, damp air. A SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier was then installed to actively control moisture levels year-round. After repairs, the crawl space is clean, dry, and protected, giving this home a healthier foundation system and long-term defense against moisture-related damage.
Encapsulation not only protects a crawlspace from moisture and mold, but increases its energy efficiency. Master Services installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier in this crawlspace in Soddy Daisy, TN.
A homeowner in Soddy Daisy, TN contacted Master Services to enhance the market value of his property for a potential sale. During our inspection, our professionals identified the presence of mold and water infiltration, which could cause harm to the floor beams. To address this issue, we recommended the installation of a CleanSpace moisture barrier. This first line of defense will obstruct the intrusion of water and moisture into the crawlspace, thereby preventing the growth of mold and spores.
In Soddy Daisy, TN, Master Services recently provided prompt assistance for a concrete sidewalk in need of repair. Our team quickly identified the underlying cause as soil settling, a common issue associated with cement structures. Fortunately, we efficiently addressed the problem by utilizing our exclusive PolyLyft solution.
This innovative solution involves injecting a specially formulated expanding foam beneath the sunken slab, gently restoring it to its original position. Unlike traditional methods such as concrete replacement, PolyLyft offers a cost-effective and permanent solution for this issue.
In Soddy-Daisy, TN, a homeowner contacted Master Services regarding cracks discovered in the walls of their crawlspace. After a thorough foundation assessment, our Home inspector attributed these cracks to soil erosion, specifically due to the sandy soil composition. The settling of the concrete slab supporting the house was a result of natural contraction in the sandy soil. This settling issue posed a potential risk to the overall structural integrity of the house.
To prevent further damage, we proposed the installation of helical piers. These piers are specifically designed to provide robust foundation reinforcement, especially effective within the local terrain. By implementing these helical piers, Master Services not only reinstated the homeowner's confidence but also ensured long-term stability and protection for their property.
