Crawl space issues often start small, but they can quickly spread to the rest of your home if not addressed. Many Olive Branch 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 Olive Branch 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.

Yes. While both services protect your home from moisture, they work in different ways. Crawl space waterproofing focuses on keeping water out by addressing drainage issues, sealing cracks, and installing sump pumps or other systems to control standing water. Crawl space encapsulation seals the crawl space with a vapor barrier and insulation to block moisture, humidity, and outside air from entering.

Many homes benefit from a combination of both, ensuring the crawl space stays dry, clean, and structurally sound for the long term.

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.

Basement water issues in Olive Branch often start small, but they can escalate quickly. Homeowners may notice damp walls, puddles after heavy rain, or that musty basement smell that never seems to go away. Over time, these problems can lead to:

• Mold and mildew growth
• Rotting wood or rusted appliances
• Damage to drywall, flooring, or stored items
• Cracks in the foundation
• Poor indoor air quality

Water problems can be triggered by a variety of factors, from seasonal storms to foundation wear and tear. That’s why it’s essential to identify the warning signs early and work with a professional who can recommend the best waterproofing solution before the damage becomes more severe.

Water can enter your basement in several ways, including through cracks in the floor or walls, porous concrete, or from poor grading around your home. In Olive Branch, where clay soil and heavy rainfall are common, pressure can build up around your foundation and force water inside (this is known as hydrostatic pressure).

Basement waterproofing addresses these problems by creating a controlled drainage path for water, sealing entry points, and managing moisture levels. With the right system in place — like interior drains, sump pumps, and vapor barriers — you can prevent water damage, protect your foundation, and keep your basement dry year-round.

DIY sealants or paints may cover up surface problems, but they rarely stop water from entering long-term. For lasting protection, a professional basement waterproofing contractor like Redeemers Group can diagnose the source of the problem and install proven systems to keep your basement dry.

Foundation problems are usually the result of forces and conditions affecting the soil beneath your home. Over time, these pressures can cause cracks, settlement, or even wall failure. Some of the most common causes include:

• Expansive or clay-rich soils that expand when wet and shrink when dry
• Poor drainage that allows water to collect near the foundation
• Soil erosion caused by heavy rain, plumbing leaks, or poor grading
• Improper backfill or loose soil that settles after construction
• Tree roots drawing moisture from the soil around the foundation
• Seasonal weather changes that cause soil movement or freeze-thaw cycles
• Poor construction practices or inadequate structural support

When these factors combine, they put stress on your foundation, leading to cracks, settlement, and structural instability.

Redeemers Group offers a range of foundation repair solutions based on the type and severity of the problem, including:

• Push piers, helical piers, and slab piers to lift and stabilize sinking foundations
• Wall reinforcement systems, such as carbon fiber straps and I-beam systems, to correct bowing or cracked basement walls

• Spray concrete to protect surfaces and strengthen exposed foundation areas

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.

With PolyLevel®, most concrete leveling projects can be completed in just a few hours, depending on the size and condition of the slab. Better yet, a fast cure time (around 15-30 minutes) means you can walk or even drive on newly leveled concrete the same day.

Yes! Once your concrete is level, sealing it helps protect your investment. Moisture, chemicals, and seasonal weather can cause surface damage and staining over time. SealantPro® is a one-time application that permanently bonds with the concrete to guard against water, dirt, and wear. It helps extend the life of your concrete and keeps it looking clean and fresh for years to come.
