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.
Master Services recently helped a family in Soddy-Daisy, TN, struggling with persistent water intrusion in their crawlspace. The excess moisture had led to mold growth and weakened the wooden joists, creating serious concerns for the home's safety.
To tackle the issue, our team installed a full-wall vapor barrier along with the EZ-Flow Drainage System. This cutting-edge solution directs water from the walls to the crawlspace's lowest point, where our reliable sump pump system removes it safely outside. The result? A cleaner, drier crawlspace and a noticeable improvement in the home's air quality!
Crawl spaces play an important role in the overall health of a home, but when they are left exposed to ground moisture they can quickly become a source of humidity, musty odors, and poor indoor air quality. In this Soddy Daisy, TN home, the crawl space had a thin ground liner that had shifted over time, leaving sections of exposed soil and allowing moisture to rise into the space. When moisture enters a crawl space, it can create conditions that lead to mold growth, wood deterioration, and increased humidity levels throughout the home above.
To solve these issues, our team at Master Foundation & Crawl Space Repair installed a full crawl space encapsulation system designed to isolate the space from ground moisture and create a controlled environment beneath the home. The crawl space floor and foundation walls were sealed with our CleanSpace® Crawl Space Encapsulation System, a durable vapor barrier that prevents moisture from evaporating into the crawl space. By sealing the space with CleanSpace, the system helps protect wooden framing, reduce humidity, and improve the overall air quality inside the home.
As part of the encapsulation process, crawl space vents were sealed to prevent outside air and moisture from entering, and the interior support piers were wrapped to maintain a continuous vapor barrier throughout the space. An EverLast™ crawl space door was also installed to provide durable, sealed access to the crawl space while helping maintain the integrity of the encapsulated environment. In addition, a SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier was installed to actively control humidity levels and keep the crawl space dry year round.
After installation, the crawl space was transformed into a bright, clean, and protected environment. Encapsulation systems like CleanSpace, paired with professional humidity control using the SaniDry Sedona, help protect homes from moisture related damage while improving energy efficiency and indoor air quality. At Master Foundation & Crawl Space Repair, solutions like these are designed to provide long term protection and create healthier homes from the ground up.
