Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

This crawl space suffered major damage.  Redeemers Group replaced some joists and part of the subfloor.

The Home Faced a Sinking Bathroom Floor, Failing Kitchen Supports, and Hazardous Old Mechanical Systems Blocking Repairs

This home in Starkville, MS had a sagging bathroom floor, unsupported kitchen framing, cut joists, and rotted subfloor that made remodeling unsafe. Beneath the home, two recessed pits housed abandoned gas-fired HVAC systems, asbestos-wrapped ductwork, and obstructing gas lines—preventing access to the structural issues that needed repair. The homeowners wanted peace of mind before beginning a bathroom remodel, especially given existing allergy and health concerns. Once the hazards were cleared, the team restored structural integrity and encapsulated the crawl space to create a healthier, safer home.

Structural Floor Repair, SmartJack Stabilization, and CleanSpace Encapsulation Delivered Permanent Protection

After removing the tub, vanity, toilet, and compromised subfloor, the crew restored the 5' x 11' bathroom area where 14-foot joist spans had been weakened by cutting and rot. Damaged sections were replaced from below to preserve layout and prepare for stable remodeling. In the kitchen area, the team prepared for SmartJack installation to stabilize the 15-foot span where earlier supplemental supports had failed. Because abandoned gas lines and obsolete HVAC components blocked access, removal was required prior to jack placement. With the workspace cleared, the team installed drainage matting, wrapped piers and walls, placed the CleanSpace barrier, plumbed the sump pump, and fully sealed seams. During encapsulation, an unexpected gas leak occurred; work resumed only after the gas company and fire department confirmed the crawl space was safe. The structure is now stabilized and protected from future moisture-related damage.

Why Professional Crawl Space Methods Matter for Structural Safety, Indoor Air Quality, and Remodel-Readiness

This project shows why expert crawl space repair is essential before starting a remodel. SmartJacks reinforce long joist spans and eliminate floor sagging. CleanSpace encapsulation and drainage matting control moisture, reduce mold spores and allergens, and improve air quality—a critical benefit for households managing health sensitivities. Sump pump installation provides long-term moisture protection, and properly replacing subfloor and damaged joists ensures the bathroom’s new finishes will last. By resolving structural deficiencies, removing hazards, and encapsulating the crawl space, the homeowners gained stability, improved indoor air quality, and the confidence to move forward with renovations.

This crawl space in Corinth, MS needed help with moisture control.  Our CleanSpace^TM System was the perfect solution.

Mr. Rick I., of Burnsville, MS was having problems with his crawl space.  He was noticing bouncy floors and other problems related to foundation settlement. He want to do everything they can do to protect his home from future damage.  After researching, he found Redeemers Group.

Crawl space specialist Antonio went out to Burnsville to inspect, and then design a permanent solution for Rick.  Antonio noticed rot and broken joists due to moisture.  He quickly understood that they needed not only support and stabilization, but also protection from water and moisture.  Rick agreed and the work was scheduled.

Juan, one of our crawl space experts, took his crew to Burnsville to get started.  The first mission was to stabilize with our SmartJacks^TM  system.  Our LumberKote^TM was sprayed on all wood to waterproof and protect it from future damage.  After that, they installed our CleanSpace^TM vapor barrier system.  This protects from water permeating through the floor and walls.  Then they installed our SmartSump^TM to rid the crawl space of any water that might get in. Finally, our SaniDry Sedona^TM dehumidifier was installed to control moisture in the air and improve the overall quality of the air.

Rick and his wife loved the results.  They were relieved knowing that their home was protected and would be for the rest of their lives.  Our customers are what matter to us most and we are proud to deliver remarkable experiences!  If you are having crawl space problems, or need basement waterproofing, call or click NOW for a free, no obligation inspection!

Austin and Laura S. of Amory, MS purchased this home just over a year ago with the intention of fixing it up and selling it. They were aware of a little bowing in the floor by the front door, but shortly after moving in they noticed the floor in the kitchen starting to settle. Not long after that, the floor in the hall in front of the bathroom starting to settle as well. We installed our SmartJacks™ support system to stabilize the sagging areas. They also applied our LumberKote™ wood sealant to all the joists and subfloors to protect them from future damage caused by moisture.
