Before & After Photos

Master Foundation and Crawl Space Repair recently visited this crawlspace in Hixson, TN to install encapsulation and drainage matting. 

A crawlspace in Hixson, TN, had been previously encapsulated with insufficient plastic sheeting that failed to prevent water vapor from infiltrating the area, rendering it susceptible to water intrusion, mold, mildew, rot, and structural damage. To address this problem, we chose the dependable CleanSpace® Wall system, renowned for its durability and efficacy. This system provides multiple layers of protection, reducing humidity in the crawlspace and enhancing overall air quality in your home. Once encapsulated, each layer is securely affixed to the walls, ensuring long-term effectiveness.

In Hixson, TN, this crawl space was damp, cluttered, and filled with failing insulation. The exposed block walls and debris created ongoing moisture issues and poor air quality inside the home.

Our team transformed the space with a CleanSpace® encapsulation system (1,086 sq ft), creating a durable vapor barrier to keep moisture out. We removed old insulation and debris, then installed a SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier with intake and exhaust duct kits to keep humidity under control. For added convenience and safety, we included a condensate pump, new electrical outlet, and crawl space lighting with a switch. We also sealed nine vents and wrapped piers to complete the encapsulation, giving the crawl space lasting protection.

The result is a clean, bright, and healthy crawl space that improves air quality, energy efficiency, and long-term home stability.

A homeowner in Hixson, TN reached out to Master Services after noticing musty odors and signs of moisture under their home. The crawl space had torn and dirty plastic that was doing little to protect against humidity or water vapor. Over time, this kind of environment can cause insulation damage, wood rot, and poor air quality inside the home.

Our team installed the CleanSpace® vapor barrier system, a durable liner that seals off the ground and walls from outside moisture. This bright, reinforced material not only improves the look of the crawl space but also provides lasting protection against mold and humidity. The result is a clean, dry, and energy-efficient space that contributes to a healthier home overall.

Encapsulation not only protects a crawlspace from moisture and mold, but increases its energy efficiency. Master Services installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier in this crawlspace in Soddy Daisy, TN.
