Master Foundation and Crawl Space Repair recently visited this crawlspace in Hixson, TN to install encapsulation and drainage matting.
A crawlspace in Hixson, TN, had been previously encapsulated with insufficient plastic sheeting that failed to prevent water vapor from infiltrating the area, rendering it susceptible to water intrusion, mold, mildew, rot, and structural damage. To address this problem, we chose the dependable CleanSpace® Wall system, renowned for its durability and efficacy. This system provides multiple layers of protection, reducing humidity in the crawlspace and enhancing overall air quality in your home. Once encapsulated, each layer is securely affixed to the walls, ensuring long-term effectiveness.
This Hixson, TN crawl space had deteriorating insulation hanging down from the floor joists, an older ground covering, and exposed foundation walls. The space was vulnerable to ground moisture and humid outside air, creating conditions that can contribute to musty odors, high humidity, and other moisture-related crawl space problems.
Our team transformed the area with a full crawl space encapsulation system, installing a durable moisture barrier across the floor and up the foundation walls. We also installed a dehumidifier to help manage humidity levels and keep the space drier over time. The finished crawl space is now cleaner, brighter, and better protected from the moisture conditions that were affecting it before.
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.
