Before & After Photos

In Cleveland, TN, Master Services tackled the improvement of a previously encapsulated crawlspace with substandard material installed by the home builder. The inadequate installation and thin material used led to the covering's deterioration, causing water pooling and mold growth within the crawlspace. After a thorough inspection, we chose the dependable CleanSpace® Vapor barrier, recognized for its durability and its effectiveness in preventing water infiltration. This system not only reduces humidity levels in the crawlspace but also enhances the overall air quality in the home. Additionally, we introduced our Sedona Dehumidifier and closed off the air vents to isolate the crawlspace environment from the outside, ensuring consistent control of the humidity level year-round.

Michael, a father of two young kids and a passionate home cook, just purchased a charming house in Cleveland, TN. While there weren’t any obvious problems with his crawlspace, he wanted to make sure his family and his new kitchen remained safe from any potential moisture issues down the line. So, he reached out to Master Services for peace of mind. Our Home Inspector visited Michael’s home and conducted a thorough assessment of the crawlspace. After checking for any signs of dampness, mold, or structural concerns, he recommended a full encapsulation to protect both the house and its occupants.  

Following his recommendation, our crew got to work. We installed a CleanSpace Moisture Barrier, a tough and mold-resistant liner that’s placed along the floors and walls of the crawlspace. This barrier effectively deters moisture, pests, and rot, ensuring that Michael’s new home stays dry and healthy.  

Thanks to the encapsulation, Michael can focus on what he loves most—cooking up delicious meals for his family, knowing his crawlspace is safeguarded for years to come.

This Cleveland, Tennessee homeowner had a crawl space that needed a full reset to eliminate moisture and poor air quality from beneath the home. Master Foundation & Crawl Space Repair began by clearing out debris and removing compromised insulation to fully expose the affected areas. Next, our team performed a soda blast mold treatment throughout the crawl space, safely removing existing mold growth and helping prevent it from returning when proper conditions are maintained.

Once the crawl space was mold-free, we installed CleanSpace® crawl space encapsulation liner to seal out ground moisture and create a cleaner, more controlled environment. A SaniDry Sedona™ dehumidifier with a condensate pump was then added to continuously pull excess humidity from the air and keep the space dry long term. Together, these steps were critical in eliminating moisture from the crawl space from top to bottom.

To complete the transformation, we installed an EverLast™ crawl space door, providing a tighter, more durable access point that helps keep outside air and pests from entering the space. These photos highlight the dramatic before-and-after results, showing the crawl space’s transition from dark, mold-covered floor joists to clean, like-new structural components.

When this homeowner in Cleveland, TN contacted Master Foundation & Crawl Space Repair, their crawl space was experiencing significant moisture exposure. The existing ground liner was torn and deteriorated, debris covered the soil, and bare earth was allowing ground moisture to rise freely into the home. Over time, conditions like this can contribute to elevated humidity levels, musty odors, mold growth, wood rot, and long term structural concerns.

To permanently address the issue, our team first completed full debris removal across the 1,362 square foot crawl space to create a clean foundation for installation. We then installed drainage matting along the ground surface. This durable layer creates an air gap beneath the system, allowing water to move freely underneath while helping protect the vapor barrier from punctures and surface irregularities.

On top of the drainage matting, we installed our CleanSpace® vapor barrier system across the entire ground area. CleanSpace® is a heavy duty, reinforced liner designed specifically for crawl space environments. Unlike basic plastic sheeting, this system is engineered to resist tearing, block ground moisture, and create a long term sealed environment beneath the home. The bright, durable surface also reflects light, improving visibility and serviceability inside the crawl space.

With the combination of debris removal, drainage matting, and the CleanSpace® vapor barrier system, this Cleveland home now has a professionally encapsulated crawl space designed to control moisture, protect structural components, and support healthier air throughout the home. At Master Foundation & Crawl Space Repair, we are committed to delivering permanent solutions that protect homes from the ground up.

When moisture overwhelms a basement or crawlspace, it creates the potential for rot and mold. The Master Services team visited a crawlspace in Rockwood, TN that was undergoing moisture problems. We installed our CleanSpace liner, which protects against mold and mildew and keeps moisture from impacting surfaces.
