When the homeowner in Charleston, Tennessee began experiencing concerns about the condition of their crawl space, they reached out to Master Foundation & Crawl Space Repair for a professional inspection. Like many homes in the region, the crawl space had exposed soil, limited moisture protection, and inadequate structural support beneath the home. Over time, these conditions can contribute to excess humidity, mold growth, and weakened floor systems that may cause sagging or uneven floors inside the home.
Our team designed a comprehensive solution to improve both the structural integrity and environmental conditions of the crawl space. To reinforce the floor system above, our specialists installed SmartJack® adjustable steel support posts along with a supplemental steel beam and sister joists to stabilize the structure and properly distribute weight beneath the home. These engineered supports are designed to provide long-term stabilization for weakened or sagging floor framing.
To address moisture and air quality concerns, the crawl space was professionally cleaned and treated for mold before installing a full CleanSpace® crawl space encapsulation system. This durable vapor barrier seals the crawl space from the exposed earth, helping prevent ground moisture from entering the home. A SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier and drainage system were also installed to actively control humidity levels and maintain a dry, healthy environment beneath the home.
Today, the crawl space has been transformed into a clean, sealed, and structurally supported environment. With improved moisture control and reinforced support beneath the home, the homeowner can now feel confident that their crawl space is protecting the structure above while contributing to healthier air and long-term stability.
The basement of this Oakdale, TN home was being ravaged by water. Moisture collected on surfaces and ruined paint, in addition to creating cracks along the wall. To help with the problem, Master Services installed our CleanSpace wall liner, which will keep moisture from settling on the walls and creating more damage.
An homeowner in Oakdale, TN desired vapor barriers for her crawlspace, but some of the joists beneath the support beams began to compress and twist under pressure. To provide the desired lift, we reinforced the compromised joists affected by termites and age using our SmartJacks system. Our team effectively resolved the issue and achieved a substantial improvement, which satisfied the customer. The SmartJacks system comprises adjustable steel piers that offer a high-capacity, long-lasting solution by preventing further settling and restoring the floor to its original position.
Master Services visited a home in Calhoun, TN that had issues with mold and humidity. Our home inspector recommended a moisture-proofing system in the crawlspace because without one, crawlspaces are easily exposed to water and associated damage.
We not only installed our CleanSpace moisture barrier, but our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier as well.
Clean Space has an antimicrobial additive embedded into the material, which prevents mold growth and proliferation. The dehumidifier keeps water vapor from settling inside the crawlspace. What a dynamic duo!
This crawlspace near Elgin, TN wasn't in optimum shape. It lacked an encapsulation system, leaving it vulnerable to mold, mildew, rot, pests, foul odors, and other nasty problems. Master Services took a look and recommended our CleanSpace vapor barrier and SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, both of which work around-the-clock to protect below-grade spaces from damage.
