Basement and Crawl Space Moisture Created Musty Odors Inside the Home

A homeowner in Memphis, TN contacted Redeemers Group after noticing moisture concerns, musty odors, and possible mold-related smells coming from the basement and crawl space areas of the home. The biggest concern was the back porch addition, built around 2010, where the vapor barrier had deteriorated and a second HVAC system ran through the crawl space. The family had also dealt with allergy concerns and had already invested in air purifiers and HVAC improvements, so controlling crawl space moisture, reducing mold risk, and protecting indoor air quality were top priorities.

Full Crawl Space Encapsulation Helped Control Moisture and Improve Energy Efficiency

During the inspection, the home was found to have two separate crawl spaces: a newer crawl space under the addition and an older main crawl space accessed through the finished basement. Both areas had failing ground plastic, moisture concerns, and conditions that could support musty odors and mold growth. Redeemers Group recommended full crawl space encapsulation using CleanSpace and SilverGlo insulation to separate the home from the damp ground, improve thermal performance, and help create a cleaner, drier, more controlled crawl space environment. In the older crawl space, the crew removed deteriorated insulation and failing vapor barrier material before installing the encapsulation system.

Proper Crawl Space Sealing Protected the Home From Future Moisture Problems

The installation required careful work because the older crawl space had tight access, aging insulation, ductwork, pipes, and wires along the walls. The crew coordinated around HVAC obstructions, sealed difficult access points, installed SilverGlo where possible, and used PVC board to help make one area airtight. The newer crawl space installation went more smoothly, and the finished system helped reduce moisture exposure, improve crawl space air sealing, and support healthier indoor air. This type of crawl space repair was important because moisture control, mold prevention, vapor barrier replacement, and crawl space insulation all worked together to protect the home’s structure, comfort, energy efficiency, and long-term property value.

Patrick G. or Memphis, TN was having problems with the exterior wall on his house.  He's owned his home for 30 years and it once had a stucco finish.  About 20 years ago, they replaced that stucco with brick.  Today, the brick has begun to pull away and fall from the structure.  Patrick wanted the bricks to be se stabilized to prevent further damage and wants the cracks, which are major eyesores, to disappear.   Redeemers Group was the team for the job.

Our specialist Tyler went out to inspect Patricks home.  He determined that our brick ties and brick stitching system would permanently solve these issues.  Patrick agreed and the work was set.  Foundation expert Tip and crew were on the job.  Patrick's wife was hesitant because she did not want the repairs to be obvious.  Tip took the time to demonstrate our techniques and how we match the existing colors to be as close as possible.  She was relieved when she saw the results of Tips demonstration, and gave the green light.  Tip then tied the brick wall into the structural supports of the home.  This would ensure no more movement.  He used brick stitching with our helical ties to further stabilize.  Finally, he used NexusProTM with our color matching techniques to fill the cracks and return this home's curb appeal!  Patrick and his wife are happy with the results and we are happy to have given them the peace of mind they deserve.  If you need foundation, concrete, or crawl space repairs; call or click now for a free, no obligation inspection.

After Tracey Y. noticed the steel plate, which her back porch sits upon, had been settling, she decided to give Redeemers Group a call. After a thorough inspection had been completed, the inspector noticed that the front left and back right corners of the house were also settling, with the concrete under the porch settling as well. Redeemers Group was more than happy to help, and decided the best plan of action would be to encapsulate the dirty, moldy, basement, then complete the foundation work. As seen in these before and after pictures, the crawlspace under the settling house was pretty rough; it even had mold! The encapsulation was completed first, not only ito insure that the foundation work could be completed in a safe enviornment, but also so that the homeowner would no longer have to deal with a moldy, incomplete crawlspace!! 

Problem: Tree Root Damage Created a Serious Trip Hazard

A newly purchased 1920s home in Memphis, TN had a dangerous, uneven sidewalk caused by invasive tree roots, creating a clear risk of trips and injuries. After several large trees were removed from the property, the remaining root system had lifted three concrete slabs along a rear walkway. One slab had already become a major tripping hazard, while another was beginning to rise. With exterior renovations underway and the homeowners not yet moved in, safety and long-term usability were top priorities. The homeowner’s primary concern was quality of life and preventing someone from getting hurt.

Solution: Precision PolyLevel® Sidewalk Leveling and Crack Repair

To resolve the issue without full concrete replacement, the affected sidewalk slabs were stabilized and adjusted using PolyLevel® foam injection. Because the tree had already been cut down, it was explained upfront that full re-leveling might not be achievable due to residual soil pressure. To address this, the cracked area was carefully saw-cut to relieve tension, increasing the likelihood that the slab could be lowered. Where full lowering was not possible, adjacent slabs were raised strategically to eliminate abrupt elevation changes, removing the tripping hazard entirely. All visible cracks in the three slabs were filled, improving both safety and appearance.

Why the Method Mattered: Safe, Efficient, and Ideal for Historic Properties

Using PolyLevel® was critical for this project because it allowed for precise concrete leveling without demolition, heavy equipment, or disruption to the historic property. Foam injection stabilized the soil, corrected elevation differences, and reduced the risk of future movement—an important factor after tree removal. Crack repair further protected the concrete from water intrusion and deterioration. The result was a safer, cleaner-looking walkway that met the homeowner’s expectations and significantly reduced liability risks, all while preserving the character of the home.

If uneven sidewalks, lifted concrete, or trip hazards are affecting your home—especially after tree removal—professional concrete leveling can restore safety without costly replacement.
