In Allardt, TN, the skilled team at Master Services took on the project of enhancing a crawlspace that suffered from mold growth. Over time, these materials deteriorated, resulting in problems like water pooling and mold formation inside the crawlspace. To tackle this issue, we opted for the reliable CleanSpace® Wall system, known for its durability and effectiveness. Additionally, we included our Sedona dehumidifier. These systems not only reduce humidity in your crawlspace but also enhance the overall air quality in your home.
In Allardt, TN, a family experienced significant issues with their cement sidewalk due to erosion and sinking, which led to noticeable cracking and settling. These problems not only created an unsightly appearance but also posed safety risks for tripping. Concerned about the deteriorating condition of their sidewalk, the family reached out to Master Services for a professional solution.
Upon evaluating the situation, Master Services determined that the best course of action was to use PolyLyft, a specialized polyurethane foam designed for lifting and stabilizing concrete. Our skilled team strategically injected PolyLyft at key points along the sidewalk. This innovative method allows for the concrete slab to be permanently stabilized and elevated, addressing the underlying causes of the sinking and cracking.
In Decatur, TN, a homeowner inquired about upgrading their crawlspace to Master Services. Upon inspection, we discovered that the existing plastic sheet covering the ground was thin and insufficient in providing long-term protection. We noticed multiple tears and rips in the plastic, leading to the formation of stagnant water pools. Consequently, this moisture caused mold growth and potential harm to the floor beams. To address this problem, we proposed the installation of a dependable CleanSpace moisture barrier as the initial defense. This barrier effectively prevents water and moisture from increasing humidity levels in the crawlspace, thereby inhibiting the growth of mold and spores.
Water intrusion in a basement can lead to long term structural concerns, damaged finishes, and ongoing moisture issues if not properly managed. At this Decatur, TN property, groundwater pressure along the foundation was creating vulnerability to basement water entry. To permanently address the issue, Master Foundation & Crawl Space Repair installed a comprehensive interior waterproofing system designed to capture and redirect water before it can impact the living space.
Our team installed 88 feet of WaterGuard® interior drainage system along the perimeter of the basement. This engineered system is designed to sit below the slab surface, collecting groundwater at the foundation wall and floor joint. Collected water is directed to a SuperSump® Plus sump pump system, which efficiently removes water from the home. To ensure dependable discharge even during freezing conditions, we installed an IceGuard® protection system and LawnScape™ outlet, along with an extended exterior discharge line to carry water safely away from the foundation. This Decatur basement is now protected by a professionally installed system built for long term reliability and performance.
Excess moisture in this Decatur, TN crawl space had led to mold growth, damaged insulation, and an unhealthy environment beneath the home. Exposed ground and uncontrolled humidity were allowing moisture to continuously circulate through the crawl space, increasing the risk of structural deterioration and impacting indoor air quality throughout the living space above.
To restore the crawl space, Master Foundation & Crawl Space Repair first removed contaminated insulation and cleared debris to create a clean working surface. Approximately 800 square feet of affected area were treated using professional soda blasting techniques to safely remove mold growth from structural surfaces. Once remediation was complete, our team installed 860 square feet of CleanSpace® vapor barrier across the crawl space floor to permanently seal off ground moisture. Structural piers were wrapped to maintain encapsulation continuity, and crawl space vents were sealed to prevent outside air intrusion.
CleanSpace® is a durable, reinforced crawl space liner designed specifically to resist tearing and block moisture transmission, creating a bright, controlled environment beneath the home. By combining mold remediation with full encapsulation, this Decatur crawl space was transformed from a damp, compromised area into a sealed, protected space built for long term structural health and improved air quality.
