Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

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.

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.

This Chattanooga homeowner was dealing with water intrusion and high humidity in their finished basement. To resolve the issue, we installed a WaterGuard® interior drainage system and sealed the walls with our CleanSpace® vapor barrier. A SuperSump Plus Ultra™ with battery backup was added for reliable drainage, even during power outages.

We also included an IceGuard® discharge adapter, LawnScape™ outlet, and an additional exterior discharge line to ensure proper water flow away from the home. The result is a clean, dry, and protected basement—ready for peace of mind year-round.

This Chattanooga crawl space was not in ideal shape, with loose plastic and signs of dampness that left the home vulnerable to odors, pests, and moisture damage. Master Services encapsulated the area with a strong vapor barrier to seal the walls and floors to create a dry, clean, and energy-efficient space.
