Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Moisture Problems Threatened a Historic Family Home

Lee M. and his wife inherited her childhood home in Carrollton, Mississippi, after her mother passed away. The couple completed several renovations, including installing new vinyl flooring over the original hardwood to modernize the home before renting it out. However, shortly after, they began noticing moisture accumulating beneath the vinyl, leading to warping, subfloor damage, and expensive replacements. Moisture readings taken during inspection ranged from 20% to 24%, particularly high in the living room area where there were no existing vents. Left untreated, this moisture could have caused severe long-term structural damage to both the original wood and the newly installed flooring.

Professional Moisture Protection with LumberKote

To protect the property’s structural integrity, our team recommended a professional moisture mitigation solution using LumberKote, a proven protective sealant designed to safeguard crawl spaces and wood structures from persistent humidity and ground moisture. The installation process was smooth and straightforward, ensuring full coverage beneath the flooring system. While additional repairs—such as reinforcing joists and replacing a degraded main beam—were identified for future work, Lee chose to first tackle the most pressing issue: preventing further moisture intrusion that was threatening both the old and new materials.

Preserving Value and Longevity Through Proactive Care

By addressing the moisture issue with LumberKote, Lee successfully stabilized the home’s environment, protecting the subfloor and hardwood from continued decay. This preventive approach not only preserved the property’s long-term value but also ensured safer, more stable conditions for tenants. For homeowners facing similar crawl space or flooring moisture problems, acting early can make all the difference.

This customer was having crawl space problems.  Broken and unstable joists were causing his floor to sag.  The Redeemers Group team was able to stabilize this crawlspace with our SmarJack^TM System.

Steve C. of Covington, TN had recently completed a major $250,000+ renovation on his cherished family home, replacing much of the original wood throughout the structure. Just months later in 2024, he began noticing mold growth in the crawl space—an alarming sign, especially after such a significant investment. Steve knew it was time for a permanent solution to protect his home’s foundation and air quality. The challenge? A massive 60-foot-long, 18-inch-wide duct line resting on the ground, obstructing access and airflow beneath the home.

After weighing bids, Steve chose our team over the competition to handle the full crawl space encapsulation using our CleanSpace system. We coordinated with his HVAC contractor, who agreed to remove or raise the large duct line to provide the necessary clearance. With a wide-open crawl space, existing plastic sheeting, and plenty of headroom, we were able to execute a clean, thorough encapsulation. We also planned for a new access point between the main and secondary crawl spaces, adding a CleanSpace partition to seal off the small outdoor kitchen entry where a sliding garbage bin had been the only way in. Additional enhancements included CleanSpace over two unused crawl doors and installing a sump pump near the main entry with strategic discharge placement.

Steve, a local business owner, hunter, and pilot, trusted us to deliver a long-lasting solution for his home—and we did just that. By solving the moisture and mold issue at its source, we helped protect his investment and give him peace of mind.
