Crawl spaces play an important role in the overall health of a home, but when they are left exposed to ground moisture they can quickly become a source of humidity, musty odors, and poor indoor air quality. In this Soddy Daisy, TN home, the crawl space had a thin ground liner that had shifted over time, leaving sections of exposed soil and allowing moisture to rise into the space. When moisture enters a crawl space, it can create conditions that lead to mold growth, wood deterioration, and increased humidity levels throughout the home above.
To solve these issues, our team at Master Foundation & Crawl Space Repair installed a full crawl space encapsulation system designed to isolate the space from ground moisture and create a controlled environment beneath the home. The crawl space floor and foundation walls were sealed with our CleanSpace® Crawl Space Encapsulation System, a durable vapor barrier that prevents moisture from evaporating into the crawl space. By sealing the space with CleanSpace, the system helps protect wooden framing, reduce humidity, and improve the overall air quality inside the home.
As part of the encapsulation process, crawl space vents were sealed to prevent outside air and moisture from entering, and the interior support piers were wrapped to maintain a continuous vapor barrier throughout the space. An EverLast™ crawl space door was also installed to provide durable, sealed access to the crawl space while helping maintain the integrity of the encapsulated environment. In addition, a SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier was installed to actively control humidity levels and keep the crawl space dry year round.
After installation, the crawl space was transformed into a bright, clean, and protected environment. Encapsulation systems like CleanSpace, paired with professional humidity control using the SaniDry Sedona, help protect homes from moisture related damage while improving energy efficiency and indoor air quality. At Master Foundation & Crawl Space Repair, solutions like these are designed to provide long term protection and create healthier homes from the ground up.
Master Services visited a homeowner near Rock Spring, GA to check out some water intrusion in his basement. The basement was finished and included several rooms, including a bedroom and living room. Our team provided a thorough inspection and determined that our TripleSafe sump pump would be the best option. We also installed our CleanSpace Wall Vapor Barrier, which protects walls against water damage.
Master Services got a call from a homeowner in Rock Springs, GA who was worried about their crawlspace. Our team went over there to check it out, and wouldn't you know it, we found some moisture and mold. To take care of the problem, we suggested they get themselves a CleanSpace moisture barrier and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. These two systems are a great team and will make sure that crawlspace stays clean, dry, and healthy as can be.
In Rock Spring, GA, Master Services addressed the enhancement of a crawlspace that had been previously encapsulated with subpar materials installed by the home builder. The insufficient installation and the use of thin materials led to the covering's deterioration, resulting in water pooling inside the area. Following a comprehensive inspection, we opted for the reliable CleanSpace® Vapor barrier, known for its durability and effectiveness in preventing water infiltration. This system not only decreases humidity levels in the crawlspace but also improves the overall air quality in the home. Additionally, we introduced our Sedona Dehumidifier and sealed off the air vents to isolate the crawlspace environment from the outside, ensuring consistent control of the humidity level year-round.
A young resident of Rock Spring, GA, sought assistance with floor settlement issues beneath their kitchen counter. Upon scheduling an appointment with one of Master Services' home inspectors, a thorough assessment was conducted. The inspector identified specific areas in the crawlspace needing reinforcement. To address this effectively, our team installed six Smart Jacks, specially designed for such confined spaces. These specialized jacks provide reliable support to weakened crawlspace beams and are resistant to rust, ensuring long-lasting stability.
