Crawl Space Encapsulation in La Follette, TN
Challenge
A homeowner in La Follette, TN was facing several issues in their crawl space that were beginning to affect the comfort and integrity of their home. The space was damp, musty, and filled with debris. Moisture was seeping in through the exposed earth floor, leading to high humidity levels and musty odors inside the home. On top of that, the floors above the crawl space were beginning to sag, with makeshift support columns failing to provide adequate stability.
The knew something needed to be done, not just to improve their home's air quality, but also to restore the safety and structure of their living space. With concerns about long-term damage and increasing energy costs, they reached out to Master for a permanent solution.
Solution
After a full inspection, our team designed a comprehensive solution tailored to this home's needs. First, we addressed the moisture issues by installing our CleanSpace vapor barrier, which sealed off the earth floor and walls to prevent ground moisture from rising. A sump pump system was installed to actively remove any water intrusion, paired with a high-efficiency dehumidifier to regulate humidity and prevent mold growth.
To address the structural concerns, we installed proper floor stabilization, providing solid and lasting support for the home's foundation. Every step was completed with care and attention to detail, turning a once-neglected space into a dry, stable, and clean environment.
This La Follette home now has a fully encapsulated and protected crawl space. The humidity and moisture concerns have been eliminated, the floors are reinforced and secure, and the homeowner has peace of mind knowing their investment is protected. With this transformation, the crawl space can now support healthier air, better energy efficiency, and a stronger home from the ground up.
