Photo Album: Crawl Space Encapsulation in Memphis, TN Stops Buckling Floors

  Hidden Crawl Space Moisture Damaged a Newly Renovated Home When Charity E. of Memphis, TN bought her newly renovated home, she believed everything was move-in ready. But within just two months, her brand-new vinyl flooring began to buckle, separate, and shift. The problem escalated when a moisture ridge line appeared in the middle of her living room, signaling serious crawl space moisture issues beneath the home. While her warranty company agreed to replace the damaged flooring, Charity knew that without solving the underlying crawl space problem, the new floors would eventually fail again. Encapsulation and Sump Pump Installation Solved the Problem Our inspection confirmed what her floors had revealed: excess crawl space humidity was the root cause. To protect her home long term, we completed a full crawl space encapsulation with a reliable sump pump drainage system. The project included: Removing debris and remnants of the old vapor barrier Installing a high-performance vapor barrier liner to seal the crawl space Placing a sump pump in the front right corner with discharge into the side yard Providing a temporary extension cord hookup so the system could start protecting immediately, while her electrician scheduled a permanent outlet installation By addressing the problem at its source, we stopped moisture from rising into the home and eliminated the conditions that caused her flooring to warp.
