Ripley, TN Crawlspace Repair and Foundation Stabilization Restores Home Safety and Comfort

Crawlspace Damage and Foundation Issues Threatened Long-Term Stability

Redeemers Group provided expert crawlspace repair and foundation stabilization for a Ripley, TN homeowner who noticed soft floors and a floor hump developing under her kitchen and dining room. After 18 years in her home, she became increasingly worried about moisture damage and mold caused by poor grading that allowed water to collect under the house. Our inspection revealed heavy mold, an inadequate jack system, and damp wood that, while still savable, was at serious risk of deterioration. These conditions were compromising the home’s structural integrity and indoor air quality, signaling the need for professional crawlspace waterproofing and repair.

SmartJack® System and Encapsulation Delivered Structural Stability and Moisture Control

To correct these issues, Redeemers Group installed a five-foot supplemental beam with a SmartJack® crawlspace support system to permanently stabilize the sagging kitchen floor. The SmartJack® is an adjustable steel column engineered to stop settlement and lift uneven floors back to level. We also placed three standalone jacks along the main beam for controlled lift and balance. To combat chronic moisture, our team performed a full crawlspace encapsulation, replacing the old vapor barrier, and installed 53 feet of interior drainage with a sump pump system to direct water away from the foundation. A buried downspout extension and LawnScape™ outlet now discharge water 45 feet from the home, reducing groundwater intrusion and keeping the crawlspace dry year-round.

Lasting Results: Restored Floors, Cleaner Air, and Lasting Peace of Mind

Once the installation was complete, the homeowner saw immediate improvement—her kitchen floor leveled out, and the home’s stability was fully restored. She appreciated that Redeemers Group corrected previous substandard repairs without requiring unnecessary subfloor replacement. The SmartJack® stabilization provided durable structural support, while the encapsulation system sealed the crawlspace to prevent humidity and mold. We ensured all sump, dehumidifier, and condensation systems functioned properly, and advised the homeowner to reinsulate her HVAC ductwork to prevent condensation. The result was a stronger foundation, drier environment, and renewed confidence in the home’s long-term safety.
