Oxford Waterproofing, Encapsulation & Structural Repair

Issues such as musty odors, cold floors, uneven flooring, or high indoor humidity can all indicate crawl space problems. You may also notice visible mold, wood rot, or insect activity beneath your home. These symptoms often get worse over time, especially in damp or humid areas like Oxford.

Crawl space encapsulation is a process that seals and protects the area beneath your home from moisture, pests, and structural damage. The steps typically include:

1. Installing a heavy-duty vapor barrier across the floors and walls
2. Insulating crawl space walls for improved efficiency
3. Sealing vents and other openings to block outside air
4. Adding a drainage system to manage groundwater (if needed)
5. Installing a dehumidifier to control humidity levels

Together, these steps create a clean, dry, and healthy crawl space environment that helps prevent mold growth, improves indoor air quality, and protects your home’s structure 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.

Some signs of basement water issues are obvious, such as standing water after a storm, but others can be easy to overlook. If you live in Oxford or anywhere in Lafayette County, keep an eye out for the following red flags:

• Musty or damp odors
• Water stains on walls or floors
• Efflorescence (white, chalky residue on concrete)
• Peeling paint or bubbling drywall
• Rust on metal appliances or fixtures
• Visible mold or mildew
• Increased humidity or condensation
• Pooled water near basement windows or walls

Even if you only notice one or two of these issues, it could be a sign of a bigger moisture problem. A professional basement inspection from Redeemers Group can help you identify and address any potential damage before it worsens.

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 Oxford, 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.

From interior drainage to powerful sump pumps, our waterproofing systems are designed to stop water at the source. We tailor each solution based on your home’s unique needs and conditions. Our basement waterproofing services include:

• Interior drainage systems

• Wall and floor crack repair

Foundation problems don’t always come with obvious signs. Many homeowners in Oxford don’t realize they have an issue until visible signs appear inside or outside the home. Some of the most common warning signs include:

• Cracks in walls, ceilings, or around windows and doors
• Doors or windows that stick, jam, or don’t close properly
• Uneven, sloping, or bouncy floors
• Gaps between walls and ceilings or floors
• Cracks in the foundation itself
• Bowing or leaning basement walls
• Interior leaks or pooling water near the foundation
• Tilting or leaning chimneys

If you’ve noticed any of these signs, it’s a good idea to schedule a professional foundation inspection. Redeemers Group can assess your home, identify the root cause, and recommend a customized foundation repair plan to restore your home’s safety and stability.

At Redeemers Group, we understand that no two foundation problems are exactly the same. That’s why we design repair plans based on the type and severity of the issue. Our Oxford foundation repair solutions include:

• 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
• Crawl space support jacks to fix sagging or bouncing floors
• Spray concrete to protect surfaces and strengthen exposed foundation areas

Every repair strategy is customized to your home’s unique needs, ensuring long-lasting stability and peace of mind.

Typically, insurance does not cover foundation settlement caused by soil movement or normal wear, but may cover sudden events like plumbing leaks. It’s always best to check with your insurance provider to see what your policy covers.

When it comes to repairing cracked or sunken concrete, you want a solution that’s fast, effective, and built to last. Redeemers Group has been serving homeowners since 2008, earning a reputation for quality service and dependable results across the region.

PolyLevel is a modern alternative to mudjacking or complete concrete replacement. It uses a lightweight, expanding foam to lift sunken concrete slabs with minimal disruption.

For Oxford homeowners looking for a clean, cost-effective way to fix uneven concrete, PolyLevel offers long-term performance and fast results.

Using SealantPro helps:

• Prevent moisture from seeping into pores and causing cracks
• Protect against stains from oil, rust, and other spills
• Reduce pitting, flaking, and surface deterioration
