In Lookout Mountain, GA, a homeowner contacted Master Services seeking an upgrade to their crawlspace. During our inspection, we observed that the soil in the crawlspace was composed of compacted terrain, prone to forming water pools after heavy rain. As a result, this excess moisture led to the growth of mold and potential damage to the floor beams. To tackle this issue, we recommended the installation of our reliable CleanSpace moisture barrier as the first line of defense. This barrier effectively controls the ingress of water and moisture, thus preventing elevated humidity levels in the crawlspace and inhibiting the growth of mold and spores.
This crawlspace in Allred, TN, was causing a homeowner constant frustration. They had recently moved in and quickly noticed strange, damp smells seeping into their living space. When our Master Services team arrived, we found the space covered by an inadequate plastic sheet and plagued by persistent moisture problems. Our crew swiftly removed the old encapsulation and sealed the vents to create a more controlled environment. We then installed our CleanSpace liner along the walls and floor to prevent mold and mildew, keeping moisture at bay. To further improve air quality, we added a Sedona dehumidifier to manage humidity. Now, the homeowner can relax, knowing their crawlspace is dry and their home is protected from future moisture issues.
The team visited a home near Allred, TN that had an abundance of moisture in the basement. We installed several waterproofing systems, including our CleanSpace Wall, which prevents water from gathering and destroying vulnerable surfaces.
Our CleanSpace liner transformed this musty crawlspace in Signal Mountain, TN into a dry, pristine expanse. The liner insulates the crawlspace from the earth and prevents humidity and water vapor from settling onto surfaces.
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.
