Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Moisture Damage and Failing Insulation Created an Unhealthy Crawl Space

This project involved a Memphis homeowner who had long struggled with moisture issues and failing insulation in his crawl space. He originally installed insulation himself years earlier, but ongoing moisture caused it to sag, fall, and become ineffective. The inspection found a wood moisture level of 17.5%, confirming that excess humidity had been impacting the structure and contributing to cold floors throughout the home. The existing plastic barrier had been poorly installed, and old disconnected ductwork added to the clutter and overall inefficiency.

Professional Encapsulation and Insulation Removal Restored Protection

To correct the problem, the team completed a full crawl space encapsulation using SilverGlo insulation panels and removed all water-damaged insulation. The homeowner requested that the removed material be bagged and left curbside for pickup to save on disposal costs, and he also opted to handle electrical outlet installation for the dehumidifier and sump pump himself. The installation required additional time due to the amount of saturated insulation and even required cutting through the metal crawl space door frame to fit the Sedona dehumidifier inside. Despite these challenges, the encapsulation was completed successfully, creating a cleaner, drier, and more energy-efficient space.

Long-Term Protection Through Proper Moisture Control Methods

This project highlighted the importance of using professional moisture-control solutions rather than relying on temporary or DIY fixes. Full encapsulation with SilverGlo insulation, combined with a Sedona dehumidifier, provided long-term protection against humidity, wood rot, mold, and cold floors—issues that will continue to worsen when crawl spaces remain exposed. By upgrading the barrier system and eliminating wet insulation, the home now benefits from improved comfort, stronger energy efficiency, and a protected foundation that will perform better for years to come.

You can hardly believe that this is the same crawl space! Redeemers group did a full encapsulation and replaced the rotting, failing beams with our permanent crawl space settlement solution: the SmartJack!

 This property was struggling with prolonged moisture in the crawl space.  This problem was quickly remedied with an encapsulation using our CleanSpace^TM System with a SmartSump^TM to prevent future issues.

Cecil M. of Blytheville, AR had major crawl space damage.  When water and moisture is present, bad things can happen.  this is a perfect example of just how devastating water damage can be.  Cecil's joist were rotted.  The floor was no longer stable, and these joists had to be replaced before stabilization could occur.  Luckily we have Eugene, who is an expert woodworker.  Eugene was able to replace all the rotted joists and subfloors so that our SmartJack^TM system could be installed.

You might ask: "How can I protect my crawlspace and make sure this does not happen to my home?"  The simple answer is: call Redeemers Group! We can install a full crawlspace encapsulation system that will protect your crawl space from water, moisture, mold, mildew, and rot.

Michael reached out to us based on the recommendation of a previously satisfied customer, seeking a long-term solution for his home’s foundation concerns. The main issues included a slightly sunken hallway wall, a drop in the master bathroom area, and overall instability near the front door and stairwell. Additionally, the crawl space required full encapsulation to improve moisture control and insulation. We identified the need for SmartJacks to stabilize the affected areas before completing the encapsulation, ensuring structural integrity and preventing further settling. Another challenge was limited crawl space access, requiring modifications such as removing insulation, adjusting crawl space doors, and potentially creating alternate entry points to install the necessary equipment.

To resolve these issues, our team installed eight SmartJacks with a 40-foot beam to provide reliable foundation support. We removed insulation and debris, installed 3,600 square feet of CleanSpace™ for moisture protection, and placed 780 feet of SilverGlo™ for enhanced insulation. A SmartSump™ with IceGuard™ was added for drainage, along with a multi-area dehumidifier and condensate pump to control humidity and prevent future damage. To improve accessibility, we fitted a new crawl space door and reinforced select vents for future maintenance. These efforts not only stabilized the structure but also ensured a healthier, drier environment beneath the home.

If your home is experiencing foundation settlement, crawl space moisture issues, or poor insulation, don’t wait for the problem to worsen. Contact us today for a professional inspection and a tailored solution that will protect your home’s stability and comfort for years to come!
