A homeowner in Hixson, TN reached out to Master Services after noticing musty odors and signs of moisture under their home. The crawl space had torn and dirty plastic that was doing little to protect against humidity or water vapor. Over time, this kind of environment can cause insulation damage, wood rot, and poor air quality inside the home.
Our team installed the CleanSpace® vapor barrier system, a durable liner that seals off the ground and walls from outside moisture. This bright, reinforced material not only improves the look of the crawl space but also provides lasting protection against mold and humidity. The result is a clean, dry, and energy-efficient space that contributes to a healthier home overall.
In Hixson, TN, a resident reached out to Master Services seeking improvements for their crawlspace support. Our experienced team conducted a thorough evaluation, identifying specific areas in need of reinforcement. To effectively address this issue, we opted for the installation of five Smart Jacks, specially designed for compact spaces. These specialized jacks provide robust support for weakened crawlspace beams, offering a durable solution for sagging floors. Notably, Smart Jacks are highly adjustable and adaptable to accommodate various crawlspace needs.
During the colder months, this Hixson homeowner began experiencing moisture buildup in their crawl space, a common issue when cooler temperatures trap damp air beneath the home and create ideal conditions for mold, mildew, and eventual wood rot. Before repairs, elevated humidity and existing mold growth were putting the home’s structural components and indoor air quality at risk. Master Foundation & Crawl Space Repair addressed the problem by first removing mold using a professional soda-blasting treatment designed to safely eliminate contamination without damaging the structure. To prevent the issue from returning, our team fully encapsulated the crawl space with a durable CleanSpace® vapor barrier along the floors and walls, sealed vents, wrapped support piers, and installed an EverLast™ crawl space access door to block out cold, damp air. A SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier was then installed to actively control moisture levels year-round. After repairs, the crawl space is clean, dry, and protected, giving this home a healthier foundation system and long-term defense against moisture-related damage.
Encapsulation not only protects a crawlspace from moisture and mold, but increases its energy efficiency. Master Services installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier in this crawlspace in Soddy Daisy, TN.
In Soddy-Daisy, TN, a homeowner reached out to Master Services to address a severely deteriorated crawlspace. Following an inspection by our home inspector, we recommended a comprehensive overhaul of the crawlspace. Opting for the reliable CleanSpace® Wall system, we aimed to reduce crawlspace humidity and enhance overall home air quality by preventing water or vapor infiltration. To further improve temperature regulation within the crawlspace, we incorporated the Silver Glow barrier, a specialized material. Additionally, we provided additional support to the wooden beams by installing a couple of SmartJacks. This complete solution not only improved air quality and energy efficiency but also enhanced the overall quality of life for the entire family.
