A State Park in Wilson, AR needed our help. Moisture was causing damage to the wood in the crawl space of the ranger's house. We were able to go in and install our CleanSpaceTM crawl space encapsulation system. This system totally rids the crawl space of any moisture. We install a dehumidifier as a part of the system to ensure that any moisture in in the air is eliminated. We also use our SmartSumpTM to move any moisture out of the crawl space and away from the structure.
Local Memphis residents, Theresa and Albert W. called the Redeemers Group when they noticed problems in their crawlspace were affecting other aspects of their home. Redeemers did a thorough inspection and decided the best plan of action was to encapsulate the crawlspace with the CleanSpace lining and technology and close the crawlspace with a new crawlspace door. As seen in the before pictures, this crawlspace was just unfinished and dirty. In the after pictures, the crawlspace had been completely encapsulated and clean. Not only does a crawlspace encapsulation allow for a safe, clean, and easily accessible crawlspace, but it also provides a protection against outside environments, as well as providing insulation during the summer and winter seasons!
This customer has had a dramatically expensive utility bill because of her unsealed crawl space. The home was vulnerable to winter cold and summer heat.
By installing the CleanSpace system, the home will be protected from unwanted pests, mold and rot, and extreme home temperatures.
McKinley M. of Memphis, TN had recently bought his home and plan on living there for 5 years or so. He wants to take care of the house and makine sure there aren't any issues when he sells. We installed a full encapsulation with CleanSpace™, a SmartSump™, a SaniDry™ dehumidifier, and SilverGlo™ Insulation. McKinley is thrilled with the results and anticipates this system paying for itself when the time comes to sell his home.

Basement and Crawl Space Moisture Created Musty Odors Inside the Home
A homeowner in Memphis, TN contacted Redeemers Group after noticing moisture concerns, musty odors, and possible mold-related smells coming from the basement and crawl space areas of the home. The biggest concern was the back porch addition, built around 2010, where the vapor barrier had deteriorated and a second HVAC system ran through the crawl space. The family had also dealt with allergy concerns and had already invested in air purifiers and HVAC improvements, so controlling crawl space moisture, reducing mold risk, and protecting indoor air quality were top priorities.
Full Crawl Space Encapsulation Helped Control Moisture and Improve Energy Efficiency
During the inspection, the home was found to have two separate crawl spaces: a newer crawl space under the addition and an older main crawl space accessed through the finished basement. Both areas had failing ground plastic, moisture concerns, and conditions that could support musty odors and mold growth. Redeemers Group recommended full crawl space encapsulation using CleanSpace and SilverGlo insulation to separate the home from the damp ground, improve thermal performance, and help create a cleaner, drier, more controlled crawl space environment. In the older crawl space, the crew removed deteriorated insulation and failing vapor barrier material before installing the encapsulation system.
Proper Crawl Space Sealing Protected the Home From Future Moisture Problems
The installation required careful work because the older crawl space had tight access, aging insulation, ductwork, pipes, and wires along the walls. The crew coordinated around HVAC obstructions, sealed difficult access points, installed SilverGlo where possible, and used PVC board to help make one area airtight. The newer crawl space installation went more smoothly, and the finished system helped reduce moisture exposure, improve crawl space air sealing, and support healthier indoor air. This type of crawl space repair was important because moisture control, mold prevention, vapor barrier replacement, and crawl space insulation all worked together to protect the home’s structure, comfort, energy efficiency, and long-term property value.
