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.
A homeowner in Cohutta, GA reached out to Master Services for help with sagging floors in their home. Upon conducting a thorough inspection, our team identified that the root cause of the problem was originating from the crawlspace. It was discovered that over time, the wooden beams in the crawlspace had deteriorated, shifted, and settled due to insufficient sizing and maintenance, resulting in structural issues.
To effectively address this problem, Master Services deployed our trusted Smart Jacks system. These specialized jacks are designed to provide reliable support for sagging floors, offering a durable and long-lasting solution to problems caused by weakened crawlspace beams. One of the advantages of the Smart Jacks system is its flexibility in installation, even in confined spaces where access may be limited, making it a practical choice for homes with space constraints.
The owner of a home in Cohutta, GA contacted Master Services for help in protecting their crawlspace from water infiltration. Upon inspection, our experts identified standing water, which had led to mold growth and potential damage to the floor beams over time. To address the issue, we recommended the installation of a CleanSpace moisture barrier as the first line of defense. This barrier will effectively prevent water and moisture from increasing humidity levels in the crawlspace, thereby preventing the growth of mold and spores.
