Our team went to a house in Knoxville, Tennessee to check out some sagging beams in the crawlspace. Over time and with neglect, beams can become rotten, move, and settle, especially when they are not the right size for the load they are carrying. To fix the issue, we put in our SmartJacks system, which is a high-capacity adjustable steel pier that stops settling and can even raise the floor of the house back to its original position. This solution provided a quick and long-term solution to a problem that would have gotten worse over time.
The homeowner near Knoxville, TN contacted the Master Services team to fortify their crawlspace against water, mold, mildew, odors, and pests. Our team protected it with our CleanSpace moisture barrier and our TripleSafe sump pump. Both systems are designed to work together.
A homeowner in Knoxville, Tennessee began noticing a musty odor inside their home that was originating from the crawl space. As the smell became stronger over time, it became a growing concern, especially since the homeowner was preparing to put the property on the market. Musty odors can be a warning sign of crawl space mold growth, which can negatively impact indoor air quality and discourage potential homebuyers. Left untreated, excess moisture and mold can also contribute to wood deterioration and structural damage to floor joists and other wooden components beneath the home. After a thorough inspection, the team at Master Foundation & Crawl Space Repair recommended professional mold remediation using soda blasting. This environmentally responsible process removes mold from wood surfaces without the use of harsh chemicals and can be performed while homeowners remain in the home. Once the mold was removed, our team installed a SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier to help control crawl space humidity and reduce the conditions that allow mold growth to return. With the crawl space restored and protected against excess moisture, the home is now better positioned for sale and the homeowner can move forward with confidence.
This crawlspace was dirty, wet, and in desperate need of encapsulation, so Master Foundation and Crawl Space Repair installed our CleanSpace® Crawl Space Vapor Barrier. Not only does the liner protect against moisture and mold, but it comes with a 25-year warranty against tears!
A resident in Knoxville, TN reached out to us with concerns about their home's crawlspace. The area was not adequately sealed or guarded against water, leading to significant water intrusion, particularly during heavy rainstorms. We suggested our CleanSpace moisture barrier solution to maintain the crawlspace dry, tidy, and sanitary.
