Before & After Photos

In Signal Mountain, TN, the Master Services team undertook the task of sealing a crawlspace to shield it from potential issues. The crawlspace had previously been encapsulated using inexpensive materials, which over time resulted in tears and the accumulation of water pools. The primary objective was to thwart water damage, mold formation, decay, odors, and pest infiltration into the area. To achieve this, we meticulously opted for the dependable CleanSpace® Wall system, celebrated for its durability and effectiveness. With precision, the system was affixed to the basement walls using secure plastic fasteners, ensuring a resolute and unwavering fit through precise drilling. The CleanSpace® Wall system not only generates additional storage room but also adeptly manages moisture, effectively preventing the growth of mold.

This home in Signal Mountain, Tennessee had a crawl space with exposed soil, debris, and insulation hanging from the floor system, allowing moisture and humidity to collect beneath the home. These conditions can contribute to mold growth, wood deterioration, poor air quality, and energy inefficiency. Master Foundation & Crawl Space Repair addressed these concerns by completing a full CleanSpace® crawl space encapsulation to seal out ground moisture and create a controlled environment. The project included debris removal, sealing crawl space vents, wrapping support piers, and installing CleanSpace® vapor barrier material along the crawl space floors to protect the space from ongoing moisture intrusion. To further regulate humidity and improve air quality, a SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier with a condensate pump was installed, along with electrical upgrades and crawl space lighting to improve functionality and accessibility. This transformation turned the crawl space into a clean, dry, and protected area designed to support the long-term health, comfort, and structural performance of the home.

This Signal Mountain homeowner was dealing with a crawl space that allowed moisture, debris, and outside air to enter freely beneath the home, creating high humidity levels, deteriorating insulation, and increased risk for mold and structural issues. Exposed soil and a lack of proper drainage made it difficult to control moisture, especially during heavy rainfall. Master Foundation & Crawl Space Repair addressed these concerns by fully encapsulating the crawl space to create a clean, dry, and controlled environment. The project included removing old insulation and debris, sealing the crawl space floors and piers with a durable CleanSpace® vapor barrier, installing interior drainage and SuperSump Plus sump pump systems with exterior discharge lines to manage groundwater, and adding a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to maintain consistent humidity levels year-round. With the crawl space sealed and protected, the home is now better safeguarded against moisture intrusion, mold risk, and long-term structural deterioration, providing this Signal Mountain homeowner with improved air quality and lasting peace of mind.

Crawl spaces can have a major impact on a home's structural health, air quality, and overall comfort. In this Signal Mountain, TN home, the crawl space had developed several concerns including exposed soil, deteriorating ground liner, fallen insulation, and excess moisture. These conditions can create a humid environment that encourages mold growth, wood rot, and poor air quality throughout the home. Because a large portion of the air inside a home originates from the crawl space, moisture problems below the home can quickly impact the living space above.

To address these issues, our team at Master Foundation & Crawl Space Repair performed a complete crawl space restoration and encapsulation. The process began with debris removal, insulation removal, and professional mold treatment using soda blasting to safely clean and restore the wooden framing. Once the crawl space was properly prepared, our team installed the CleanSpace® Crawl Space Encapsulation System across the floor and foundation walls. This durable vapor barrier seals the crawl space from ground moisture and creates a clean, protected environment beneath the home.

To manage water intrusion and humidity long term, our team installed a StarPipe™ crawl space drainage system connected to two SuperSump® sump pump systems to safely direct groundwater away from the home. A SaniDry™ Sedona crawl space dehumidifier was also installed to control humidity levels and help prevent future mold growth. Because the crawl space also showed signs of structural settling, SmartJack® support posts were installed to reinforce the floor system and restore stability.

After installation, the crawl space was transformed into a bright, sealed, and controlled environment designed to protect the home's structure and improve overall indoor air quality. Systems like CleanSpace encapsulation, SuperSump pump protection, and the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier work together to keep crawl spaces dry, stable, and healthy for years to come.

Master Services installed our CleanSpace liner in Lookout Mountain, TN. The liner brightened up the area considerably, but its main function is to protect the area against humidity, flooding, mold, and rot.
