A homeowner in Hixson, TN reached out to Master Services after noticing musty odors and signs of moisture under their home. The crawl space had torn and dirty plastic that was doing little to protect against humidity or water vapor. Over time, this kind of environment can cause insulation damage, wood rot, and poor air quality inside the home.
Our team installed the CleanSpace® vapor barrier system, a durable liner that seals off the ground and walls from outside moisture. This bright, reinforced material not only improves the look of the crawl space but also provides lasting protection against mold and humidity. The result is a clean, dry, and energy-efficient space that contributes to a healthier home overall.
During the colder months, this Hixson homeowner began experiencing moisture buildup in their crawl space, a common issue when cooler temperatures trap damp air beneath the home and create ideal conditions for mold, mildew, and eventual wood rot. Before repairs, elevated humidity and existing mold growth were putting the home’s structural components and indoor air quality at risk. Master Foundation & Crawl Space Repair addressed the problem by first removing mold using a professional soda-blasting treatment designed to safely eliminate contamination without damaging the structure. To prevent the issue from returning, our team fully encapsulated the crawl space with a durable CleanSpace® vapor barrier along the floors and walls, sealed vents, wrapped support piers, and installed an EverLast™ crawl space access door to block out cold, damp air. A SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier was then installed to actively control moisture levels year-round. After repairs, the crawl space is clean, dry, and protected, giving this home a healthier foundation system and long-term defense against moisture-related damage.
This Hixson, TN crawl space had deteriorating insulation hanging down from the floor joists, an older ground covering, and exposed foundation walls. The space was vulnerable to ground moisture and humid outside air, creating conditions that can contribute to musty odors, high humidity, and other moisture-related crawl space problems.
Our team transformed the area with a full crawl space encapsulation system, installing a durable moisture barrier across the floor and up the foundation walls. We also installed a dehumidifier to help manage humidity levels and keep the space drier over time. The finished crawl space is now cleaner, brighter, and better protected from the moisture conditions that were affecting it before.
Encapsulation not only protects a crawlspace from moisture and mold, but increases its energy efficiency. Master Services installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier in this crawlspace in Soddy Daisy, TN.
A homeowner in Soddy Daisy, TN contacted Master Services to enhance the market value of his property for a potential sale. During our inspection, our professionals identified the presence of mold and water infiltration, which could cause harm to the floor beams. To address this issue, we recommended the installation of a CleanSpace moisture barrier. This first line of defense will obstruct the intrusion of water and moisture into the crawlspace, thereby preventing the growth of mold and spores.
