This homeowner made the smart choice to allow the experts at Redeemers Group to fully and properly seal and protect this crawl space by installing CleanSpace, SilverGlo, and Lumberkote. Check out this extraordinary transformation!
Kenneth S. of Selmer, TN was having trouble with his home. His uneven floors have bothered him for years and they had begun to get worse. Kenneth and his wife are getting up in age and really need to address this as it has now become a safety concern. He called Redeemers Group.
Our inspector was able to go into the crawl space and discover the problem. The floors had dropped due to over-span of the joists and there was only one main beam running through the center of the home. Equipped with this knowledge, he was able to design a permanent solution.
Brayhan, our foundation expert, installed our SmartJacksTM crawl space support jacks under the home. This system provides permanent stability to the home and also lifted the floors back into place. Brayhan applied our LumberKoteTM wood sealant to all the wood in the crawl space. This would insure that moisture would not cause further damage.
Kenneth was thrilled with the results. He finally had the peace of mind knowing that his floors were level and his home was permanently stable.

Crawl Space Moisture Problem and Standing Water Concerns
A homeowner in Tupelo, MS had standing water in the crawl space, concerns about mold, and wanted a long-term moisture control solution after moving into the home less than a week earlier. The crawl space covered roughly 1,000 square feet beneath part of the home and had unusually tall perimeter walls, with some areas reaching about 8 feet high. During the inspection, our team found that water was moving toward the back section of the crawl space, where an existing sump pump had already been tied into plumbing lines. The homeowner wanted better peace of mind, improved indoor air quality, and confidence that the crawl space would not create future moisture, mold, or structural problems.
Full Crawl Space Encapsulation and Drainage Solution
Redeemers Group completed a full crawl space encapsulation system, removed approximately 1,100 square feet of old roll insulation, and cleared debris that included an old vapor barrier, glass bottles, and broken brick. The crew installed CleanSpace vapor barrier throughout the crawl space, wrapped piers, covered the perimeter walls, and used SilverGlo insulation to help partition and seal openings near the front porch and rear porch areas. The existing sump pump was replaced and discharged out the back of the home with an additional 25 feet of discharge line. A second standalone sump pump was installed beneath the rear patio area, and the encapsulation around that pump was made removable so the system could still be accessed for service. Where standing water was found away from the sump location, the team trenched between the wet area and the sump to help direct water toward proper drainage.
Why Crawl Space Encapsulation, Sump Pumps, and Vapor Barriers Matter
This Tupelo crawl space repair showed why waterproofing, vapor barrier installation, insulation removal, and crawl space drainage should work together as one system. A vapor barrier helped separate the home from ground moisture, while encapsulation helped create a cleaner and more controlled crawl space environment. Replacing and adding sump pumps gave water a managed path out of the crawl space instead of allowing it to collect beneath the home. SilverGlo insulation helped improve the sealed system, especially around openings that could allow outside air and moisture to enter. During the final walkthrough, the homeowner was highly satisfied with the completed crawl space encapsulation and drainage improvements, which helped provide the quality of life and peace of mind they were looking for.
