Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Wet Crawl Space Gets Encapsulated and Floors Get a Lift in Murfreesboro, TN

This Murfreesboro home needed some help! There was a very large amount of moisture and water in their crawl space consistently. The soil was always moist, there were condensation droplets on the wood beams ( that were growing mold and rotting), and their floors were beginning to become "bouncy" and sink. The homeowners had even complained of their carpets being wet in areas! They found our company off of HomeAdvisor and we sent out one of our highly trained inspectors. They met with each other, our inspector looked around their space, took photos, and discussed with the homeowners what he found and how we could help them. our inspector talked to them about our vapor barrier liner that will reduce moisture in the crawl space and also about our floor lifting product- SmartJacks. The homeowners knew they were in need of professional help and good products they could rely on, so they were ready to have the crew come in!Products Installed:SmartJacksSupplemental BeamSistering Joists CleanSpace LinerDrainage MattingSaniDry SedonaSilverGlo PanelsThey now have a dry and healthy crawl space AND supported floors!
