Chattanooga, TN Crawl Space Encapsulation

This Chattanooga homeowner was dealing with a crawl space that had exposed ground, signs of moisture intrusion, and elevated humidity levels that can impact both the structure of the home and the air quality inside. Without proper drainage and vapor protection, groundwater and moisture were able to collect beneath the home, allowing damp conditions to persist and increasing the risk of mold growth and wood deterioration over time. To fully address these concerns, Master Foundation & Crawl Space Repair designed a comprehensive crawl space solution focused on moisture control, drainage, and long-term protection. Our team treated existing mold and removed compromised insulation before installing a perimeter drainage system with StarPipe™, directing water to a SuperSump™ Plus sump pump for dependable groundwater management. The crawl space was then fully sealed with a durable CleanSpace® vapor barrier, extending across the floors, foundation walls, vents, and piers to block ground moisture and create a controlled environment. A SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier with a condensate pump was added to actively regulate humidity, while improved lighting, electrical outlets, an EverLast™ crawl space access door, and targeted joist reinforcement enhanced accessibility and structural support. After the installation, the crawl space is now clean, dry, and properly conditioned—helping protect the home’s foundation, improve indoor air quality, and deliver long-term peace of mind.
