Bluefield, VA's Locally Proven Basement Waterproofing & Crawl Space Repair Contractor

In Bluefield, VA, young couple Jamie and Alex had recently bought their first home, eager to start a new chapter. However, their excitement was tempered by a troubling discovery: a musty smell creeping through the house. Concerned, they reached out to Master Services after noticing a persistent issue in their crawlspace.

When our team arrived, it was clear why the smell had become so pervasive. The crawlspace, previously encapsulated years ago with subpar materials, had become a breeding ground for mold and spores. Jamie and Alex had been unaware of the seriousness of the problem until a rodent had burrowed into the area, alerting them to the underlying issues.

Recognizing the urgency, we recommended replacing the old encapsulation with our CleanSpace vapor barrier. Our team meticulously installed this durable liner across the crawlspace floor. The new barrier effectively shut out moisture and halted further mold growth. With the crawlspace now protected, Jamie and Alex not only enjoyed a fresher, cleaner home but also had a secure space for storage, free from the mold issues that had once threatened their new beginning.

Daniel B., a young homeowner living in Bluefield, GA, noticed nearly a 1-inch gap between his front porch and his stair steps. Over time, he observed this gap worsening, with additional sinking spots appearing elsewhere on the sidewalk. Concerned about the issue's potential escalation, he promptly contacted Master Services.

After scheduling an appointment, one of our home inspectors visited his property and identified the cause: a combination of soil washout and natural hardening of cement. Water erosion combined with changes in the soil humidity levels can remove soil, weakening the sidewalk and causing cracking and sinking.

Fortunately, we offered a prompt and effective solution using our innovative PolyLyft method. PolyLyft is designed to elevate and level various surfaces by injecting a specially formulated expanding foam beneath the affected area, gently raising the sunken slab back to its original position. Unlike traditional methods such as complete concrete replacement, PolyLyft provides a cost-effective and long-lasting solution. With these solutions in place, Daniel can now enjoy walking back home on leveled solid ground. 🏡
