Crawl space issues often start small, but they can quickly spread to the rest of your home if not addressed. Many Germantown homeowners don’t realize their crawl space is in trouble until they notice symptoms inside their living space.

Some of the most common warning signs include:

• Musty or damp odors coming from below the home
• High indoor humidity or condensation on windows
• Uneven, sagging, or bouncy floors
• Visible mold or mildew in the crawl space
• Standing water or damp soil under the home
• Wood rot or rust on beams, joists, or metal supports
• Cracks in interior drywall or exterior foundation walls
• Increased energy bills due to poor insulation and moisture
• Pest or insect infestations in the crawl space
• Cold floors during the winter

If you’ve noticed any of these issues in your Germantown home, it may be time for professional crawl space repair. Addressing the root cause early can save you from costly repairs and protect your home’s air quality and structural stability.

Encapsulation involves sealing your crawl space with a durable vapor barrier, insulating the walls, sealing vents, and installing a drainage system and dehumidifier (if needed). Crawl space encapsulation creates a clean, dry environment beneath your home, protecting against moisture, pests, and structural damage.

Sagging or uneven floors are often caused by weakened beams, wood rot, or soil settlement in the crawl space. Left unchecked, these issues can lead to structural damage throughout your home.

To fix the problem, Redeemers Group installs the SmartJack® system to stabilize and lift sagging floors back to their proper position. These adjustable steel crawl space support jacks are anchored on a solid base, providing reliable strength even in weak soil conditions. Unlike temporary fixes, this system can be fine-tuned over time, ensuring long-lasting stability for your home’s structure.

Waterproofing your basement is just as important for protecting your entire home as it is for preventing basement leaks and standing water. Homes in Germantown are often exposed to heavy rain, fluctuating water tables, and poor drainage conditions — all of which can lead to serious moisture problems.

Investing in professional basement waterproofing can help:

• Prevent mold, mildew, and musty odors
• Protect your foundation and landscaping from water damage
• Preserve the value of your home
• Improve indoor air quality
• Create a healthier, more usable basement space
• Avoid costly repairs down the road

The cost of basement waterproofing depends on several factors, including the size of your basement, the extent of the water problem, and the type of repair solutions needed. For example, sealing a few wall cracks will cost less than installing a full interior drainage system with a sump pump and dehumidifier.

Because every home is different, it’s difficult to provide a one-size-fits-all price. That’s why Redeemers Group offers free basement inspections and written estimates in Germantown, TN. During your inspection, our experts will identify the source of the problem and recommend the most effective, cost-efficient solution for your home.

Foundation issues typically stem from unstable or poorly draining soil. In Germantown, changing moisture levels can cause the ground to expand and contract, putting pressure on your foundation. Other causes include poor construction, plumbing leaks, and long-term settling — all of which can compromise the structural integrity of your home.

Hairline cracks may be cosmetic, but larger, widening, and stair-step cracks often indicate structural movement or settling. Foundation cracks caused by soil pressure or moisture intrusion should be evaluated by a professional. Our team can determine the cause and recommend the right solution to stabilize and protect your home.

There’s no single solution for every foundation problem. The best approach depends on the type of damage and its cause. Common foundation repair methods include:

• Steel push piers, slab piers, and helical piers to provide long-term stabilization for settling or sinking foundations.
• Wall anchors or carbon fiber reinforcement to correct bowing or leaning basement walls.
• Crawl space support jacks to lift and stabilize sagging or bouncy floors.
• Spray concrete to strengthen and protect exposed surfaces.

Our structural repair experts will perform a thorough foundation inspection and recommend the right combination of solutions to restore your home’s safety and stability.

Replacing concrete might seem like a straightforward fix, but it’s often costly, time-consuming, and doesn’t address the underlying issues, such as shifting soil or poor drainage. That means the problem can come back, even with a brand-new slab.

With PolyLevel®, we lift and level the existing concrete while addressing the cause of the damage. It’s faster, less invasive, and longer-lasting, making it a smarter and more cost-effective solution for most Germantown homeowners.

PolyLevel® is a high-density polyurethane foam that’s injected beneath sunken concrete. As the foam expands, it gently lifts the slab back to its original position, without the mess or wait time of traditional mudjacking. It cures in about 15 minutes, and concrete slabs can handle foot or vehicle traffic the same day as application.

Yes! Once your concrete is level, applying a sealant like SealantPro helps protect it from moisture, cracking, and surface damage. It penetrates the concrete to create a permanent bond that guards against stains, chemicals, and weather, extending the life of your concrete and keeping it looking newer, longer.
