In Elizabethton, TN, our team recently tackled a large crawlspace that had been previously encapsulated with inadequate material, leading to mold growth on the joists over time. After a thorough inspection, our crew removed all debris and the old encapsulation, then sealed off the vents. They then installed our Drainage Matting and CleanSpace liner, brightening the crawlspace and protecting against moisture. Next, we added our SilverGlo insulation to the walls, providing exceptional energy efficiency and preventing heat loss from below-grade spaces. This upgrade allows the homeowner to utilize this additional space even during the coldest months of the year while saving on energy bills. To maintain stable humidity levels and prevent mold and spore growth year-round, we also installed our Sedona dehumidifier.
We visited to a home located in Elizabethton, TN to examine drooping beams in the crawlspace. These beams are prone to decay, displacement, and settling over time due to their inadequate sizing and lack of upkeep, which can lead to structural problems. Our team successfully addressed the issue by implementing our efficient SmartJacks system.
The SmartJacks system is a high-capacity, adjustable steel pier that offers a long-lasting solution by preventing further settling and even restoring the home's floor to its original position. This prompt and efficient repair prevented any potential long-term issues that could have arisen as a result of the neglected beams.
A resident of Elizabethton, TN contacted Master Services for assistance with unstable floors in their bathroom and living room. Our inspection revealed that the underlying cause of the issue stemmed from the crawlspace. Over time, wooden beams in the crawlspace can deteriorate, shift, and settle due to inadequate sizing and maintenance, leading to structural problems. To address this, we utilized our reliable Smart Jacks system, which effectively prevents any potential long-term issues that may arise from neglected beams.
A homeowner in Cleveland, TN approached Master Services for assistance in improving her home value as she intended to sell the house shortly after. Our team conducted a detailed inspection and identified specific areas in the basement that required support. The crawlspace had previously been encapsulated with a cheap plastic sheet, which failed to keep water and moisture away from the area.
To effectively resolve the issue, we replaced the plastic sheet with our durable vapor barrier called Clean Space, and then we utilized our trusted Smart Jacks system, designed specifically for tight spaces. These specialized jacks offer strong and lasting support for weakened crawlspace beams, providing a reliable solution for sagging floors.
By combining these two systems, we added value to the home and restored the crawlspace to a healthy and safer environment, preparing it for potential buyers.
A homeowner near Oakwood, VA was concerned about nasty odors wafting from his crawlspace. Our team inspected the area and determined that there was an abundance of moisture and mold. To protect it, we installed our CleanSpace moisture barrier. This is a mold and tear-resistant liner that defends vulnerable areas against mold, rot, and moisture!
