Our team visited a residence near Abingdon, VA to assess some sagging beams in the basement. Unfortunately, some contractors use beams that are not of the proper size during the building process. Over time, the beams can also rot, move, and settle. To address the issue, we implemented our SmartJacks system, which provides a permanent solution by reinforcing the weakened beams.
In Abingdon, VA, our experienced team at Master Services undertook the task of sealing a crawlspace to safeguard it from potential issues. The crawlspace had previously been encapsulated with a low-quality material that deteriorated over time. Our primary goal was to prevent water damage, mold growth, decay, unpleasant odors, and pests from infiltrating the area. To achieve this, we chose the reliable CleanSpace® system, renowned for its durability and effectiveness. The system was meticulously attached to the basement walls using secure plastic fasteners, ensuring a strong and snug fit through precise drilling. Now, the homeowner has gained some additional storage space!
A homeowner near Whitewood, VA reached out to us after noticing an abundance of water in his crawlspace. We recommended our Cleanspace Moisture Barrier, a mold-resistant barrier that shields vulnerable areas from water damage, mold, mildew, and rot.
A crawlspace at a home near Meadowview, VA was full of mold, moisture, and ragged bits of insulation. A crawlspace with no waterproofing measures is vulnerable to mold, damage, and foul odors... as well as nasty pests! The Master Services team installed our CleanSpace moisture barrier and SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier in this crawlspace to protect it from the aforementioned dangers.
Master Services recently completed a crawlspace encapsulation and waterproofing project in Richlands, VA. The homeowner, who had just purchased a home, was unaware of the extensive moisture issues lurking beneath the house. The soil lay exposed, and high humidity was a constant concern. After conducting a thorough inspection, our team recommended a comprehensive solution to protect the home.
First, we thoroughly cleaned the crawlspace to remove debris and prepare for encapsulation. Then, we installed a durable vapor barrier along the walls and floor to seal out moisture, helping to prevent mold growth and maintain a dry environment; a process called "encapsulation".
To further protect the area, we set up a reliable sump pump system to manage any incoming water, followed by a dehumidifier to keep humidity levels in check. These measures ensure the crawlspace stays dry, improve overall air quality, and give the homeowner peace of mind.
