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.

Regina had us out about a year ago because she had flooding into her basement from the outside. She had some landscaping redone and thought it had been addressed with proper drainage, but water still got into her basement. At the time of the appointment a year ago the basement was finished and she did not like the idea of having to remove floors that she had just put down and redoing sheet rock. However, she just had some pipes burst with the recent snowstorm and it leaked from the upper floor down into the finished basement and caused lots of damage. When the flooring got pulled up, she noticed that the basement was leaking and knew it was time to get the waterproofing done.

This dirt crawlspace was dealing with extreme moisture and constant flooding. The after picture shows the Vapor Barrier System that was installed. This system helps control the moister within your crawlspace. 

Crawlspace was damp, insulation was falling down, and the crawlspace needed to be encapsulated.
