In Cleveland, TN, Master Services tackled the improvement of a previously encapsulated crawlspace with substandard material installed by the home builder. The inadequate installation and thin material used led to the covering's deterioration, causing water pooling and mold growth within the crawlspace. After a thorough inspection, we chose the dependable CleanSpace® Vapor barrier, recognized for its durability and its effectiveness in preventing water infiltration. This system not only reduces humidity levels in the crawlspace but also enhances the overall air quality in the home. Additionally, we introduced our Sedona Dehumidifier and closed off the air vents to isolate the crawlspace environment from the outside, ensuring consistent control of the humidity level year-round.
Michael, a father of two young kids and a passionate home cook, just purchased a charming house in Cleveland, TN. While there weren’t any obvious problems with his crawlspace, he wanted to make sure his family and his new kitchen remained safe from any potential moisture issues down the line. So, he reached out to Master Services for peace of mind. Our Home Inspector visited Michael’s home and conducted a thorough assessment of the crawlspace. After checking for any signs of dampness, mold, or structural concerns, he recommended a full encapsulation to protect both the house and its occupants.
Following his recommendation, our crew got to work. We installed a CleanSpace Moisture Barrier, a tough and mold-resistant liner that’s placed along the floors and walls of the crawlspace. This barrier effectively deters moisture, pests, and rot, ensuring that Michael’s new home stays dry and healthy.
Thanks to the encapsulation, Michael can focus on what he loves most—cooking up delicious meals for his family, knowing his crawlspace is safeguarded for years to come.
In Cleveland, TN, a home on a hill experienced foundation settlement following heavy rainfall, a typical problem when the ground beneath shifts or erodes. To solve this, we installed helical piers, similar to large screws, to firmly secure the home to stable ground nearby. Given the red clay soil, we drilled holes strategically and installed the helical piers. These devices, attached to the footing with steel brackets, ensure stability, keeping the house secure for years ahead.
The Master Services installation team effectively resolved a bowed foundation wall issue in Cleveland, TN, using Wall Plate Anchors. Due to excessive moisture from nearby terrain, known as hydrostatic pressure, the soil gradually pushed the wall inward, creating voids inside the basement. Concerned for the stability of their home, the homeowner sought a permanent solution for this spacious area, which was being used as additional storage space. By installing Wall Plate Anchors, the wall was stabilized by connecting it to the stable surrounding soil, providing extra support to the overall structure of the house. The procedure was efficiently conducted, with minimal disruption to both the interior and exterior of the property.
