Crawl Space Transformation in Chattanooga, TN

Challenge

This Chattanooga homeowner was facing a flooded crawl space that posed serious risks to their home’s health and stability. The standing water, decaying materials, and musty conditions had created an environment ripe for mold and rot. On top of the water issues, the floors above the crawl space had begun to sag, signaling a deeper structural concern. The homeowner needed a comprehensive fix — not just for the immediate water problem, but for the long-term integrity of their home.

The crawl space was also difficult to navigate and unsafe for any future inspection or maintenance. The homeowner wanted a permanent solution that would not only protect their investment but also provide peace of mind. This meant addressing both moisture and structural problems at the same time, and doing so efficiently.

Solution

Our team began by tackling the water intrusion head-on. We installed a drainage system and a powerful UltraSump® system to keep water out of the crawl space. Next, we encapsulated the entire area with a durable vapor barrier to seal out moisture and humidity. To address the structural concerns, we installed SmartJack® support posts, which lifted and reinforced the sagging floors from below.

This dual approach — waterproofing and structural stabilization — gave the homeowner a clean, dry, and strong crawl space. Our crew worked quickly and carefully to ensure minimal disruption, completing the job to the homeowner’s satisfaction.

The once-flooded crawl space is now dry, stable, and protected for the long haul. With the SmartJacks® in place and the waterproofing system installed, the homeowner no longer has to worry about moisture damage or sagging floors. It’s a total transformation that brings long-term protection and peace of mind.
