The team visited a home near Saltville, VA to repair a wet, musty crawlspace. Like many unprotected crawlspaces, this one was inundated with standing water, mold, mildew, and pests. These types of problems compound and create more issues, like foul odors and rotten plywood, insulation, wood, and drywall.

To prevent these blights, Master Services installed our CleanSpace water vapor barrier and SmartSump sump pump. Together, these systems will keep standing water, humidity, and other associated problems at bay. The sump pump catches and pumps water out of the crawlspace, while the vapor barrier shields the crawlspace from humidity.

The crawlspace of a home near Saltville, VA was prone to extreme humidity during warm months. Some homeowners might think, "It's a crawlspace. Who cares?" Unfortunately, this attitude provides an opportunity for mold, mildew, and rot to set in, which attack drywall, insulation, wood, and other vulnerable areas. 

To protect the crawlspace from these dangers, Master Services installed our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier and SmartSump sump pump. The vapor barrier acts as a shield between the crawlspace and water vapor, while the pump catches and directs water outside of the home. Both systems provide superior waterproofing protection. 

With these systems installed, the home will be protected, safe, and dry. 

The team visited a customer in Saltville, VA who had a bad case of mold in his crawlspace. When moisture takes over a below-grade space, it creates mold and mildew. Due to the "stack effect," much of the mold ascends into the upper quarters of the home, which leads to respiratory issues for residents. 

Master Services offers mold remediation. Using our soda-blasting technique, our team removes every trace of mold and sanitizes surfaces. This method works by blasting sodium bicarbonate against moldy surfaces. The abrasiveness of soda removes mold without damaging the surrounding area. 

Now the crawlspace is free of mold and sanitary! 

Our team visited a church near Sugar Grove, VA that was undergoing basement flooding. This is a common problem for below-grade spaces, as moisture from heavy rains works its way inside and creates the ideal conditions for mold, mildew, and rot. These issues compound, creating respiratory problems for people and eventually destroying supportive elements, like beams and joists.

To protect the area, our team installed our TripleSafe sump pump system and WaterGuard perimeter drainage system. The pump collects and directs water to the drainage system, which ferries it along the perimeter of the basement and outside of the home.

This church and its congregation will be protected from nasty mold with these two systems in place! 

While returning from their vacation, the Worshams noticed a significant crack in their basement wall. Aware of Master Services' reputation, they promptly contacted us. After scheduling an appointment, our home inspector identified the precise area in the basement wall that needed urgent attention. During the inspection, clear indications of water infiltration became apparent.

To tackle this issue, our crew carefully drilled holes in the wall and excavated a trench a few feet from the affected area. Subsequently, we inserted two rods and secured them using our Wall anchors technology. This innovative approach harnesses the surrounding soil as a stabilizing agent, ensuring the structural integrity of the wall.

Following the backfilling of the trench and securing of the wall anchors, the Worshams could confidently proceed with decorating their basement, knowing that it was now safeguarded against mold growth and water infiltration.
