Before & After Photos

Our team at Master Services recently completed a crawlspace encapsulation in Kingsport, TN to safeguard against water damage, mold growth, decay, unpleasant odors, and pest infestations. We chose to use the reliable CleanSpace® Wall system, which is securely fastened to the basement walls with plastic fasteners that are carefully drilled in for maximum stability. Additionally, our home inspectors recommended the Sedona dehumidifier to effectively regulate moisture levels and prevent mold growth. These two systems work together to create an optimal environment in the crawlspace, ensuring moisture and mold are kept under control.

This Kingsport, TN home had a crawl space that was damp, musty, and poorly protected from outside moisture. The thin plastic barrier on the ground was no longer effective, allowing humidity to rise and circulate through the home. Insulation and ductwork were also exposed to these damp conditions, leading to an uncomfortable environment and potential mold growth beneath the home.

To address these issues, the Master Services team performed a full crawl space transformation. The crew began by removing old debris and applying an environmentally safe soda blasting treatment to eliminate existing mold. A durable CleanSpace® vapor barrier was then installed to completely seal the crawl space floor and walls, while SilverGlo® insulation was added to improve energy efficiency. The team also installed two SuperSump® Plus pump systems along with a SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier and condensate pump to control humidity year-round.

These improvements turned the crawl space from damp and unprotected to clean, dry, and efficient. To ensure the home stays healthier and better protected from future moisture and mold concerns.

Crawlspaces that lack encapsulation systems are open to a host of problems. Mold, mildew, wood rot, pests, nasty smells, and structural deterioration are rampant in crawlspaces that haven't been fortified against water. A crawlspace at a home in Kingsport, TN lacked a reliable encapsulation system, so Master Services encapsulated it with our incredible CleanSpace moisture barrier. This barrier is tear and mold resistant, and it protects against moisture and related damage. 

Master Services encapsulated this crawl space in Kingsport, TN by sealing the ground and support piers with our durable vapor barrier. This upgrade protects the home from moisture, mold, and musty odors while creating a clean, dry, and energy-efficient environment beneath the house.

Master Services recently assisted a homeowner in Kingsport, TN, who was dealing with frequent water intrusion in their crawlspace, causing mold to develop on the wooden joists. To resolve the problem, our team installed a full-wall vapor barrier and our WaterGuard® Drainage System. This innovative system channels water from the walls to the crawlspace's lowest point, where our efficient sump pump system collects and expels the water outside. This effective solution not only reduced crawlspace clutter but also significantly improved the home's overall air quality.
