Before & After
Crawl spaces can have a major impact on a home's structural health, air quality, and overall comfort. In this Signal Mountain, TN home, the crawl space had developed several concerns including exposed soil, deteriorating ground liner, fallen insulation, and excess moisture. These conditions can create a humid environment that encourages mold growth, wood rot, and poor air quality throughout the home. Because a large portion of the air inside a home originates from the crawl space, moisture problems below the home can quickly impact the living space above.
To address these issues, our team at Master Foundation & Crawl Space Repair performed a complete crawl space restoration and encapsulation. The process began with debris removal, insulation removal, and professional mold treatment using soda blasting to safely clean and restore the wooden framing. Once the crawl space was properly prepared, our team installed the CleanSpace® Crawl Space Encapsulation System across the floor and foundation walls. This durable vapor barrier seals the crawl space from ground moisture and creates a clean, protected environment beneath the home.
To manage water intrusion and humidity long term, our team installed a StarPipe™ crawl space drainage system connected to two SuperSump® sump pump systems to safely direct groundwater away from the home. A SaniDry™ Sedona crawl space dehumidifier was also installed to control humidity levels and help prevent future mold growth. Because the crawl space also showed signs of structural settling, SmartJack® support posts were installed to reinforce the floor system and restore stability.
After installation, the crawl space was transformed into a bright, sealed, and controlled environment designed to protect the home's structure and improve overall indoor air quality. Systems like CleanSpace encapsulation, SuperSump pump protection, and the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier work together to keep crawl spaces dry, stable, and healthy for years to come.
