The simple answer? Crawl space moisture doesn’t stay contained to the crawl space. It rises into your home through a process called the stack effect. That moisture can lead to musty odors, mold growth, wood rot, and poor indoor air quality. In humid areas like Covington, controlling crawl space moisture is one of the most effective ways to enhance your home’s health, comfort, and structural integrity.

A damaged or unsealed crawl space can lead to a wide range of issues, including uneven or sagging floors, moldy insulation, high energy bills, and damage to support beams or floor joists. Over time, these problems can impact your comfort, safety, and your home’s value. We recommend scheduling a professional inspection at the first sign of trouble.

Encapsulation involves sealing your crawl space with a durable vapor barrier, insulating the walls, sealing vents, and installing a drainage system and dehumidifier (if needed). Crawl space encapsulation creates a clean, dry environment beneath your home, protecting against moisture, pests, and structural damage.

Foundation problems don’t always come with obvious signs. Many homeowners in Covington don’t realize they have an issue until visible signs appear inside or outside the home. Some of the most common warning signs include:

• Cracks in walls, ceilings, or around windows and doors
• Doors or windows that stick, jam, or don’t close properly
• Uneven, sloping, or bouncy floors
• Gaps between walls and ceilings or floors
• Cracks in the foundation itself
• Bowing or leaning basement walls
• Interior leaks or pooling water near the foundation
• Tilting or leaning chimneys

If you’ve noticed any of these signs, it’s a good idea to schedule a professional foundation inspection. Redeemers Group can assess your home, identify the root cause, and recommend a customized foundation repair plan to restore your home’s safety and stability.

Hairline cracks may be cosmetic, but larger, widening, and stair-step cracks often indicate structural movement or settling. Foundation cracks caused by soil pressure or moisture intrusion should be evaluated by a professional. Our team can determine the cause and recommend the right solution to stabilize and protect your home.

At Redeemers Group, we take a customized approach to every foundation repair project. After a thorough inspection, our team designs a solution tailored to your home’s specific needs, soil conditions, and the type of foundation it has. We install cutting-edge products designed and manufactured by Foundation Supportworks, a leading foundation repair expert trusted by contractors nationwide.

Depending on the issue, your repair plan may include:

• Foundation piers to stabilize settling foundations
• Wall repair systems to straighten and reinforce bowing walls
• Crawl space support jacks to lift sagging floors
• Spray concrete for added protection and durability

All of our work is backed by long-term warranties, and most repairs can be completed with minimal disruption to your home and landscaping.

Replacing concrete might seem like a straightforward fix, but it’s often costly, time-consuming, and doesn’t always address the underlying issues, such as shifting soil or poor drainage. That means the problem can come back, even with a brand-new slab.

With PolyLevel®, we lift and level the existing concrete while addressing the cause of the damage. It’s faster, less invasive, and longer-lasting, making it a smarter and more cost-effective solution for most Covington homeowners.

Both methods aim to lift sunken concrete, but they’re very different in how they work and how long they last.

Mudjacking uses a heavy slurry of cement and soil that's pumped under the slab, which can be messy, slow to cure, and prone to future settling.

PolyLevel, on the other hand, uses a lightweight, expanding foam that lifts the slab cleanly and precisely with minimal disruption and long-lasting results. It cures in minutes and won’t wash out, making it a more modern and reliable solution for most homeowners.

Redeemers Group offers concrete leveling and repair for a wide variety of residential and commercial applications, including:

Basement moisture issues often stem from poor exterior drainage, clogged gutters, foundation cracks, or hydrostatic pressure forcing water through walls and floors. Seasonal storms and high water tables in Tipton County can make the problem worse.
