Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawl Space Repair & Encapsulation in Friendship, TN

Severe Moisture and Structural Damage Under the Home Brooke B. of Friendship, TN—a retired Army major and now a nurse practitioner—noticed her home showing signs of moisture issues and sagging flooring. After hearing concerns from multiple people, she wanted to make sure her property was safe and structurally sound before converting it into a rental. Upon inspection, the crawl space revealed significant problems: a rotten main beam directly under the master bedroom, a failing rim band near the front porch, sinking piers, and poorly executed past repairs that left joists weak and uneven. Left unaddressed, these issues would have worsened, leading to more costly structural and water damage. Comprehensive Structural Repairs and Drainage Solutions To restore stability, our team replaced 14 feet of the main beam and 10 feet of rim band, ensuring the home could safely carry the load above. Six SmartJacks were installed to provide permanent stabilization and correct bowing caused by failing supports. We also sistered 42 feet of weakened joists with notched 2x10 lumber, reinforcing the floor system where previous partial repairs had failed. For water management, we installed an interior drainage system along the left side of the home and routed it to a sump pump in the addition, effectively controlling groundwater and preventing future flooding. Full Crawl Space Encapsulation for Long-Term Protection Finally, we completed a full CleanSpace® encapsulation system, sealing the crawl space to eliminate moisture intrusion, improve energy efficiency, and prevent mold growth. SilverGlo® insulation was used to partition off access under the front steps, while debris removal left the space clean and functional. With the encapsulation in place, the crawl space is now dry, structurally reinforced, and ready for long-term durability. Brooke can move forward confidently with her rental plans, knowing the home’s foundation and crawl space are secure and protected.   If your crawl space shows signs of sagging floors, rotting wood, or moisture problems, don’t wait for the damage to worsen.
