Master Services successfully waterproofed a residential basement in Dunlap, TN. The basement had previously been reinforced against hydrostatic pressure using carbon fiber armor strips. However, over time, the homeowner decided to take further steps to prevent water from entering the foundation. To tackle this issue, our team installed a vapor barrier that covered the entire walls. Additionally, we introduced our reliable water guard system, designed to effectively remove water from the house and redirect it outside. This straightforward solution not only reduced clutter in the basement but also improved the overall air quality of the entire house.
This crawl space encapsulation in Dunlap, TN by Master Services completely transformed the area from damp and poorly insulated to clean, bright, and fully protected. Our team installed a durable vapor barrier system to seal out ground moisture and added the SaniDry™ Sedona Dehumidifier to regulate humidity and improve air quality. Together, these solutions provide long-lasting protection against mold, pests, and structural damage while boosting the home’s energy efficiency and overall comfort.
A homeowner in Lookout Mountain, GA noticed musty odors and damp air rising from their crawl space. Upon inspection, our team found exposed soil, unsealed walls, and failing vapor barriers that allowed moisture and humidity to build up under the home. Master Services installed a complete CleanSpace® encapsulation system with drainage matting, sealed columns, and spray foam insulation along the rim joists. This permanent solution now keeps the crawl space dry, energy-efficient, and protected from mold and odors year-round.
Before we stepped in, this Chattanooga homeowner faced persistent water problems in their basement and crawl space. With every rain, water would seep into the crawl space, creating a damp and musty environment that put the home’s structural integrity at risk. The basement had become nearly unusable due to water pooling around the edges, bringing added worries about potential mold growth and air quality.
After installing our customized waterproofing system, the difference was immediate. The WaterGuard system we added created a channel for water, directing it out and away from the foundation. The IceGuard component added extra assurance for freezing weather, while the exterior landscape drainage system provided crucial support to keep water from finding its way back toward the home. The SuperSump pump we installed will keep everything dry, even in heavy downpours. This home is now a safe, dry, and usable space that the owner can confidently enjoy, with no worries about water damage or moisture issues.
This retaining wall in Chattanooga, Tennessee had begun to show major signs of structural stress, with large horizontal and stair step cracks forming along the brickwork. These types of cracks are often a result of soil pressure or shifting behind the wall. Our team installed a series of wall anchors, which are designed to permanently stabilize failing walls by anchoring them into stable soil beyond the wall. These galvanized steel anchors help halt further movement and can straighten the wall over time.
