Job Stories

This homeowner wasn’t concerned with the condition of the crawl space until the water and humidity issues began to affect the beautiful wood flooring in the downstairs on the home. They started to notice rippling in some places of the flooring. In others, the boards were expanding and contracting with the changes in dampness below them. One picture shows where boards started to come up altogether. Our inspector found that the crawl space needed to be fully encapsulated. The system included drainage matting, Cleanspace liner, a Sani Dry sump pump, and a dehumidifier. Click here to learn more about how all of these parts of the encapsulation system work together, and why they are all necessary. In the end, the homeowner was pleased that any water that would enter the crawl space would be diverted to the sump before it can cause problems, and the dehumidifier would keep the air conditioned in an appropriate manner. They were further pleased that as the system began working, and the flooring began to dry out from the underside, some of the aesthetic issues with the hardwood floors went away.

Harry D. and his wife Ann of Germantown, TN built their house 43 years ago. They have been married for a little over 50 years and are well into their 80's.  It has become hard for Harry to move around the driveway because of the unevenness. They are entering the time in their lives when it’s time to think about downsizing and selling their home. They know that repairing the driveway will allow them to sell quickly and receive full value for the home.  This is the original driveway, and it is in great condition. Since their house is on the top of a hill, they included a retaining wall during the home’s construction, and their driveway comes up to the side of this wall. Ann has had anxieties about this getting worse. After a thorough inspection, we proposed a permanent solution for the driveway. Harry and Ann loved this and were excited to finally solve their issues.  Ann talked to our specialist for about an hour, telling him about all the work that Harry had poured into the house over the last 40+ years. Recalling when the home was built, they had appliances and wood that were being stolen, so Harry would sleep in the back of a station wagon for weeks with a gun to protect their investment. This has made it difficult for Harry to think about downsizing and letting the house go. Ann is ready to move on, but for Harry to make the move, the next place must be perfect. Our concrete crew, led by concrete expert Tommy, used our PolyLevelTM Concrete injection system to lift, level, and stabilize the driveway.  They also filled all cracks and joints with our NexusProTM crack and joint sealant.  This will keep water from penetrating beneath the concrete, causing soil erosion.  This concrete repair job has given Ann the peace of mind that she deserves.  She can be confident the driveway is stable and isn't going anywhere.  Harry can be sure, whether he decides to stay or go, that his driveway is safe.  

Michael H. of Germantown, TN—an orthopedic surgeon who understands the importance of stable, even surfaces—reached out to us for help with his concrete driveway and pool garage area. Several joints and cracks were forming, and one section of the driveway in particular had begun to deteriorate significantly. Michael wanted a comprehensive solution that would protect his investment and restore the look and feel of his property. Our team recommended and applied our 2-Part Concrete Protection System (CPS), which includes the precision lifting power of PolyLevel® and the long-lasting sealant NexusPro®. This powerful combination allowed us to lift and stabilize sunken areas and seal joints and cracks across all the concrete surfaces. In the one heavily damaged spot on the driveway, we advised the customer up front that while NexusPro® would improve the appearance and function, the broken-up condition may limit the results—and he appreciated the honest expectation. The final outcome was a safer, more uniform driveway and pool garage area, with professional joint and crack sealing that will help prevent future wear and water damage. Michael was pleased to see his property looking sharp and protected, backed by a system designed for longevity. Cracked or sunken concrete around your home?

Lucy S. had noticed cracked foundation and doors and windows that were not closing. Lucy tried to search for solutions to this problem, but nothing seemed to work. Redeemers Group was more than happy to help her and her family resolve this issue. To solve their foundation settlement issue, Redeemers Group installed slab piers and performed a lift procedure on the home. Piers can solve settlement problems by transferring a structure's weight to strong, competent supporting soils at greater depth. Piers can effectively stabilize a settling structure and can even provide jacking points to lift the structure upwards to its original, level position. Now, Lucy will be able to enjoy her home knowing that their foundation issues are repaired.

Corey C. of Munford, TN, an active-duty military member, contacted us to address serious moisture issues in the basement located beneath his garage. After living in the home for a couple of years, Corey noticed that the space resembled a rainforest—damp, humid, and occasionally plagued by standing water. White fuzzy mold had begun to grow on the drywall near the staircase, raising health and structural concerns. With plans to transform the area into a functional cellar, Corey needed a lasting waterproofing solution. To eliminate moisture and reclaim the basement, we implemented a two-stage waterproofing system along the CMU block wall perimeter. A high-capacity sump pump was installed beneath the staircase, paired with a professional-grade dehumidifier to control humidity levels year-round. We lined the 8-foot-tall walls with CleanSpace® wall vapor barrier, creating a sealed, mold-resistant environment. As part of the installation, the original stairs were removed—something Corey had anticipated, as he plans to replace them with custom steel stairs that accommodate the new discharge line routing. Because the staircase begins at grade level, we designed the discharge line to exit above the stair platform and continue through the adjacent concrete sidewalk, extending just a few feet beyond it for optimal drainage. Corey’s proactive planning and our waterproofing expertise have set the stage for a complete basement transformation. If your basement feels more like a swamp than a storage space, contact us today to schedule a free waterproofing evaluation and reclaim your home’s potential.

Francisco S. and his family had just moved into their new home in Sardis, MS after relocating from Oxford when they began noticing subtle but concerning issues—uneven flooring near the front of the house and slight water intrusion toward the rear. Initially focused on getting a crawl space encapsulation, Francisco reached out to Redeemers Group for a quote. However, during our detailed inspection, we uncovered significant structural concerns: a rotted front rim band, crushed joists bearing on the sill plate, and a main beam not properly seated on its piers. These issues needed urgent attention before moisture control could be effectively addressed. Our team tackled the repair in phases, starting with the replacement of the damaged rim band along the front of the home. This involved accessing structural components through interior spaces like closets, the dining room, and the master bedroom. We then sistered approximately 375 feet of 2×10 joists to restore floor integrity and added three standalone support columns beneath the main beam to relieve pressure from compromised piers—stabilizing the foundation without attempting to lift. Thanks to generous headroom in the crawl space, much of the work was completed from underneath the home, minimizing interior disruption. With the structure secure, Francisco confidently moved forward with a full crawl space encapsulation system. This addition locked out moisture, improved air quality, and ensured the home is protected for years to come—supporting his family’s long-term plans in Sardis.

Sean O. had noticed that the concrete surrounding his pool was unven and starting to crack. This was an extreme hazard for Sean and his family. After attempting to fix it himself, Sean gave Redeemers Group a call.  In order to fix this issue, the team at Redeemers Group lifted and leveled the exterior concrete. During the process we used the PolyLevel to even the concrete around the customer's pool. By using PolyLevel® we are able to lift concrete slabs to a level position with less weight and disruption than the legacy mud jacking or slab jacking process. We were more than happy to get this issue resolved for Sean and his family. They are now able to enjoy their pool without uneven and dangerous concrete. 

Kevin F., of Batesvile, MS, noticed that water was coming up out of the ground in the corner of his home’s crawlspace.  He decided to give the Redeemers Group a call before the moisture caused any further damage to the crawlspace or the home! We were more than happy to help, and sent one of our Design Specialists, Nick Roberson, to give Kevin a free inspection. After a thorough inspection was done, Nick proposed our Cleanspace Technology. The CleanSpace® Crawl Space Encapsulation System addresses each of the main threats to a crawl space: outside air, excess moisture, water, mold, and pests. Kiel, one of our skilled production team leads, headed out to Batesville to complete this encapsulation. Upon arrival and beginning the work, the team realized just how small this crawlspace actually was. As seen in the attached pictures, Kiel was laid completely flat, and there was barely enough room for his head!! The Redeemers also found out that the main beam of the house was literally a tree that had been installed!! Nevertheless, our team prevailed, and didn’t give up on this encapsulation. Through all of the crazy hurdles our team had to jump, we REDEFINED this clients experience to ensure that they won’t ever have to face a damp crawlspace from this point on!!

Sarah had noticed cracks forming above her doorways in her master bedroom a few years ago. Like many homeowners, it waged war on her peace of mind for years. The area above her bed even started to sag, and her drywall cracks just kept getting bigger. She literally felt the problem hanging over her head as she slept!We were able to restore Sarah's peace of mind by installing slab piers under either side of her master bedroom wall. We supported not only her bedroom but also her three closets. After securing her home with the slab piers, we injected PolyLevel under the home to fill every crack and void. The end result was her home not only be stabilized but moving back into place, as evidenced by the cracks closing up.Now Sarah can sleep well knowing her home isn't going anywhere. With her Redeemers Group warranty, she is guaranteed many great nights of sleep for years to come.  

Josh B. of Batesville, MS was having foundation problems. He was noticing sagging floors in the living room and the kitchen.  This isn't the family’s forever home. They would like to build their next home in the future, but they need to get full value for this home when they do make that move.  He wants to fix the issues in the crawl space before they get worse.  Josh called Redeemers Group. Foundation repair specialist Dante went out to Batesville to perform an inspection.  He did find settlement in the living room and in the kitchen, but upon inspection of the crawl space, he found that the wood in the entire crawl space was extremely wet. The lowest moisture reading was at 19.7%. The highest was over 30% and that was in the living room area. There are 2 main beams that run down the hallway. From the kitchen wall, the 4th joist in between the hallway main beams was completely rotted.  In the master bathroom right under the toilet, the wood is also rotted.  Dante was able to design a permanent solution for these problems and Josh was ready to get it done. Foundation settlement expert Shawn and crew were tasked with this repair.  Their first mission was to get rid of all the old and rotted wood and replace the joists.  The wood that could be salvaged was joined with new, strong wood.  After that, the crew installed our SmartJacks™ crawl space support jacks. This permanently stabilized Josh’s foundation.  Finally, the crew applied our LumberKote™ wood sealant to all the wood in the crawl space.  This keeps the wood dry and protected. Josh was happy with the install.  His home was now permanently stable and his crawl space protected. When it is finally time to sell, he knows that his foundation will not bring down the value of his property.
