Before & After Photos

Jennifer R. of Dyersburg, TN experienced significant water intrusion in her crawl space during periods of rain, largely due to the natural slope of her lot. Water flowed from the garage side and front of the home toward the back and opposite side, leading to persistent moisture issues. Over time, this excess moisture contributed to mold growth throughout the crawl space, with clear evidence of water seeping through the foundation walls and vents. Concerned about the long-term impact on her home’s structural integrity and air quality, Jennifer sought a reliable solution to address these issues.

After a thorough assessment, we discussed a comprehensive encapsulation system, including the installation of two sump pumps to manage water infiltration. Additionally, we recommended LumberKote™, a specialized coating designed to treat and prevent mold growth. This approach aimed to create a drier, healthier environment while protecting the home from further water damage. Given that Jennifer had recently retired and was mindful of her budget, she carefully considered her options with the help of her father and brother, who played an active role in the decision-making process.

Ultimately, Jennifer chose to move forward with LumberKote™ as the first step in mitigating the mold issue. This cost-effective solution provided immediate protection while allowing her to plan for future upgrades, such as full encapsulation and sump pump installation. By taking proactive measures, she is safeguarding her home against further damage and ensuring a healthier living space.

When this homeowner called Redeemers Group, water intrusion along the east wall of their stone basement had become a growing concern. Though the space was mostly empty, the client had clear plans to begin using it for storage—and eventually finish it as livable space. However, the damp conditions, musty odor, and irregular wall surface were holding those plans back. The east wall in particular showed signs of persistent seepage, making the basement unsuitable for even basic use.

To address the problem at its source, we installed our Two-Stage Basement Waterproofing System along the full east wall. Given the uneven and bumpy surface of the original stone wall, we also applied our durable CleanSpace® Wall System, a heavy-duty vapor barrier that seals out moisture and improves appearance instantly. Two wooden posts in the work area were temporarily removed and professionally supported while our team completed the installation, then securely reinstalled afterward—ensuring no compromise to structural safety during the process.

To help combat humidity and eliminate lingering odors, we also added a high-performance basement dehumidifier. The transformation was immediate: what was once a damp, musty space is now a dry, protected foundation ready for use and future finishing. If you're struggling with basement water issues or want to reclaim valuable space in your home, contact Redeemers Group today for a free, customized waterproofing consultation.

After noticing water seeping between the foundation and cinderblock walls of a below level garage/ basement, Mike S. decided to call Redeemers Group. Our team was able to waterproof the area by installing Waterguard and a Sump Pump. Water will no longer seep through this area when it rains!! 

Hidden Crawl Space Mold Threatened Indoor Air Quality in Bolivar Home

When Karen C. of Bolivar, TN discovered mold growing beneath her home, she was understandably alarmed. Despite a recent HVAC upgrade and termite inspection, the mold issue had gone unnoticed until her HVAC contractor uncovered it during ductwork wrapping. Concerned about her daughter Hallee’s lifelong allergies and the long-term health of the home her late father built, Karen reached out to Redeemers Group for a professional evaluation. The inspection revealed significant mold growth and moisture concerns that could compromise both air quality and structural integrity if left untreated.

Professional Encapsulation and Moisture Control Solved the Mold Problem for Good

Our team implemented a complete crawl space encapsulation and mold remediation system to stop the problem at its source. We began by applying LumberKote to protect the wooden structure, then installed drainage matting and wrapped all piers to improve moisture management. The crawl space walls were lined with SilverGlo insulation and sealed with a CleanSpace vapor barrier, creating an airtight and energy-efficient environment. We also installed a Sedona dehumidifier, condensate pump, and an Aspen air purification system inside the living area to improve indoor air quality. Every component—from sealing the floating slabs to fine-tuning the airflow—was designed to create a drier, cleaner, and healthier home for years to come.

Long-Term Results: A Healthier Home and Cleaner Air for the Family

After the project was completed, Karen noticed a significant improvement in comfort and air quality throughout her home. The encapsulation not only eliminated the mold and moisture but also provided long-term protection against future humidity issues. Hallee’s allergy symptoms improved, and the home’s foundation is now better preserved against rot, pests, and mold recurrence. This comprehensive solution ensures that the house her father built remains strong for generations to come.

Crawl Space Moisture Problem and Standing Water Concerns

A homeowner in Tupelo, MS had standing water in the crawl space, concerns about mold, and wanted a long-term moisture control solution after moving into the home less than a week earlier. The crawl space covered roughly 1,000 square feet beneath part of the home and had unusually tall perimeter walls, with some areas reaching about 8 feet high. During the inspection, our team found that water was moving toward the back section of the crawl space, where an existing sump pump had already been tied into plumbing lines. The homeowner wanted better peace of mind, improved indoor air quality, and confidence that the crawl space would not create future moisture, mold, or structural problems.

Full Crawl Space Encapsulation and Drainage Solution

Redeemers Group completed a full crawl space encapsulation system, removed approximately 1,100 square feet of old roll insulation, and cleared debris that included an old vapor barrier, glass bottles, and broken brick. The crew installed CleanSpace vapor barrier throughout the crawl space, wrapped piers, covered the perimeter walls, and used SilverGlo insulation to help partition and seal openings near the front porch and rear porch areas. The existing sump pump was replaced and discharged out the back of the home with an additional 25 feet of discharge line. A second standalone sump pump was installed beneath the rear patio area, and the encapsulation around that pump was made removable so the system could still be accessed for service. Where standing water was found away from the sump location, the team trenched between the wet area and the sump to help direct water toward proper drainage.

Why Crawl Space Encapsulation, Sump Pumps, and Vapor Barriers Matter

This Tupelo crawl space repair showed why waterproofing, vapor barrier installation, insulation removal, and crawl space drainage should work together as one system. A vapor barrier helped separate the home from ground moisture, while encapsulation helped create a cleaner and more controlled crawl space environment. Replacing and adding sump pumps gave water a managed path out of the crawl space instead of allowing it to collect beneath the home. SilverGlo insulation helped improve the sealed system, especially around openings that could allow outside air and moisture to enter. During the final walkthrough, the homeowner was highly satisfied with the completed crawl space encapsulation and drainage improvements, which helped provide the quality of life and peace of mind they were looking for.
