Hearing about our company on the radio, this Summit Mississippi homeowner gave us a call about his crawlspace. He had vent fans in his crawlspace and was having severe mold and moisture issues; so much so that his sub floor was rotting out below him. Melissa Johnson performed the initial inspection and gave him a free quote on what our solution would be. In the many years we've been fixing crawlspaces, we've found that ventilation is root cause for moisture. Allowing outside air to penetrate under the house causes it to get trapped and build up. This moisture will latch on to anything that will hold it, especially wood. Unfortunately this means the joists and subfloor. Once it has enough moisture buildup, mold will start to grow. If not treated immediately and properly, mold will rapidly take over and create musty smells in your home and concurrently rot out any wood in the crawlspace.
Before we began work, we treated the mold with our powerful Mold-X2 spray. This rids the wood of mold in seconds. Not only will it benefit your crawlspace, but it allows our crew to work in a safer environment. Our solution is to treat your crawlspace like you would the inside of your home. We seal up all the vents and wrap the crawlspace in our 20 mil CleanSpace liner to create a moisture barrier from the outside air. We also add a sump pump in the ground to collect ground water moisture that moves under the liner. This will automatically pump it out and away from the crawlspace. Finishing the system, we install a dehumidifier to regulate the humidity under the house.
This customer had replaced their floors, found water on the plastic sheeting in their crawl space, had duct work re-insulated, cleaned the crawl space, and put in 4 exhaust fans trying to repair the moisture problem with his home. None of these solutions solved his issues. A MCS customer found out about his struggles and gave him our name. He called our office and was able to get an inspection done that day! Corey Becker performed the inspection and showed him photos of what was going on. He introduced him to our encapsulation system and the customer decided that was the best way forward. Cody and his crew performed the work. Crawl space repair is our specialty and we were able to save another home from water damage!
This home in Poplarville, MS was set on part slab and part conventional foundation. The middle of the home was on top of a crawlspace that was having significant moisture issues. It was apparent in the wooden subfloor that the moisture was causing mold to grow.
Thankfully, our team was able to treat the mold and install our waterproofing system under the home. This will help keep the wood safe and strong, and dry out the crawlspace.
This well maintained, beautiful home in McComb Mississippi called us because they were having standing water in their crawlspace and their floors had started buckling. We know that this is not an issue with the floors, but rather an issue under the home with a buildup of moisture. Our production crew came in, cleared the crawlspace of debris, and installed our proven waterproofing system.
We were referred to this homeowner through a past customer. They were having moisture issues in the crawlspace and trying to figure out how to solve them. Brett DiBiase came out and performed our inspection and presented an estimate. Then Michael Lawler and his crew were able to install the encapsulation system under their home, defending it against moisture intrusion, permanently.
