Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Richard and Debbie M. just bought their home 3 months ago and have standing water around the edge of their crawl space. This is the first home they have lived in with a crawlspace and want to make sure they take care of it, so they don’t have issues in the future. They have health issues and had decided a CleanSpace^TM Encapsulation would be by far the best choice. They were right.  About 60% of the air, they breath comes from the crawl space. There is quite a bit of mold on the subfloor and gets worse around the kitchen and bathrooms. We were able to complete a full encapsulation with our LumberKote^TM wood sealant.  This will ensure that the air is clean, the crawl space is moisture free, and the wood is protected.

Josh D. of Arlington, TN had moisture problems and bad air quality in his crawl space.  He was concerned about mold and mildew and how that would affect his families health.  We installed our CleanSpace^TM encapsulation system.  This is a permanent solution that remedies moisture, mold, mildew and bad air quality.  Josh and his family no longer need to worry about the crawl space.

Arthur P. of Arlington, TN, a longtime homeowner and avid DIY enthusiast, had grown increasingly concerned about moisture issues beneath his home. Living there for over 15 years, Arthur has invested considerable effort into maintaining his property, but persistent crawl space dampness posed a risk to the structural integrity of the wood. Although he isn’t ready for a full encapsulation just yet, he knew it was time to take preventive action to shield his home from further moisture damage.

Given Arthur’s meticulous nature—he’s a self-professed perfectionist who approaches each detail with scrutiny—our team took the time to answer his many questions and thoroughly explain every aspect of the process. With three crawl space entrances, including one separate enclosed section, access was a challenge, but we ensured that our approach was comprehensive and tailored to his specific setup. Arthur agreed to remove existing insulation himself to prepare for our work and was fully briefed on the potential for overspray residue on pipes and surfaces during treatment.

We applied LumberKote, a powerful moisture barrier treatment, throughout the crawl space to protect the wooden structures from rot and decay. By setting clear expectations and offering a long-term solution to his immediate concerns, we helped Arthur take a significant step toward preserving his home’s value. While encapsulation may still be on the horizon, this moisture control measure lays the foundation for future improvements.

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.

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.
