In Chattanooga, TN, a homeowner contacted us for assistance in waterproofing their garage due to persistent water infiltration, especially after heavy rainfall. Following an inspection by our home inspector, we recommended the installation of a water collection and redirection system. Specifically, we chose to install our WaterGuard drainage system, designed to efficiently collect and divert water away from the area. Notably, WaterGuard is distinct from traditional drain tile systems, as it's installed just beneath the perimeter edge of the basement floor, providing effective water management.
To ensure comprehensive protection, we also introduced the TripleSafe sump pump, equipped with three layers of defense against potential water-related issues. It's worth mentioning that our client opted to include a backup battery pack, which ensures continued pump operation even during electrical blackouts.
Master Services visited a home in Rossville, GA that had an old and ineffective sump pump in the basement. We removed the old unit and replaced it with one of our long-lasting, durable systems: the TripleSafe. With three levels of protection, this pump is the best option for homeowners.
The owner of a residence located in Rossville, GA sought out Master Services' aid in addressing the problem of drooping floors in their crawlspace. After examining the issue, our team discovered that the underlying cause was due to a weak spot beneath the kitchen floor, leading to structural complications.
To effectively tackle this problem, we utilized our reliable Smart Jacks system. These specialized jacks are engineered to provide robust support for sagging floors, offering a long-term solution to weakened crawlspace beams. The Smart Jacks system stands out due to its installation flexibility, allowing it to be utilized in cramped spaces where access may be restricted. This feature makes it a practical option for residences that face spatial constraints.
Before repairs, this Rossville, GA crawl space was vulnerable to ongoing moisture problems due to exposed soil, deteriorating insulation, and uncontrolled humidity, allowing ground moisture to rise into the space and create conditions that can lead to mold growth, wood rot, musty odors, and reduced indoor air quality throughout the home. After a full crawl space upgrade by Master Foundation & Crawl Space Repair, the space was completely transformed into a sealed, controlled environment designed to manage moisture long term. The Master Team first removed the moisture-damaged insulation, then installed CleanSpace® vapor barrier with integrated drainage matting across 132 square feet to permanently block ground vapor while directing any water safely beneath the liner instead of allowing it to affect structural components. To actively regulate humidity, a high-efficiency SaniDry Sedona™ dehumidifier was installed to continuously filter and dry the air, preventing condensation and maintaining healthy moisture levels year-round. A condensate pump was added to automatically discharge collected water, along with a dedicated electrical outlet to ensure uninterrupted system performance. With these systems working together, the crawl space shifted from a damp, unreliable area into a dry, sealed, and protected foundation zone, helping safeguard the home against future moisture damage while improving overall durability and air quality.
As a home settles, it leads to a host of problems that will only worse over time. Cracks, springy or sloping floors, windows and doors that stick, and creaking floors all are signs of settlement. This home near Fort Oglethorpe, GA was exhibiting signs of settlement, including unsightly cracks! Our team installed our SmartJacks system, providing support to the crawlspace and staving off future damage.
