Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Unhealthy to Healthy Crawl Space in Nashville, TN
This Nashville home's crawl space had a huge problem with moisture. When the homeowners moved in there was an old black tarp taped together and used to "reduce moisture". Within the year of them living in their new-to-them home, mold and mildew became a BIG issue. There was an awful mildew smell upstairs in their living area and they knew there was no way that could be healthy for them or their home. They decided it was best to call a professional to see what could be done about the excess moisture before it was too late. Our trained inspector, Nick, met with them and looked around their space. He took reference photos to show the couple later and he also took a few humidity tests. Nick sat down with them in the comfort of their own home and talked to them about what he found (such as the molding wood beams) and what solutions we had to offer. After hearing what Nick had to say, the couple agreed with everything and was ready to have our products installed!

Black Tarp used as liner in Nashville Crawl Space
Beware of black tarp "encapsulation". This is the bare minimum requirement when building homes, but it is NOT what is best for most. This space in particular had a bad moisture problem and was causing tons of problems.
Mold in The Crawl Space
The moisture that was seeping through the poorly constructed tarp lining has caused mold to grow on this home's supporting beams. Their pink insulation was also full of moisture and moldy. These two combinations leads to bouncy and uneven floors if not fixed in time!
