Before repairs, this Rossville, GA crawl space was vulnerable to ongoing moisture problems due to exposed soil, deteriorating insulation, and uncontrolled humidity, allowing ground moisture to rise into the space and create conditions that can lead to mold growth, wood rot, musty odors, and reduced indoor air quality throughout the home. After a full crawl space upgrade by Master Foundation & Crawl Space Repair, the space was completely transformed into a sealed, controlled environment designed to manage moisture long term. The Master Team first removed the moisture-damaged insulation, then installed CleanSpace® vapor barrier with integrated drainage matting across 132 square feet to permanently block ground vapor while directing any water safely beneath the liner instead of allowing it to affect structural components. To actively regulate humidity, a high-efficiency SaniDry Sedona™ dehumidifier was installed to continuously filter and dry the air, preventing condensation and maintaining healthy moisture levels year-round. A condensate pump was added to automatically discharge collected water, along with a dedicated electrical outlet to ensure uninterrupted system performance. With these systems working together, the crawl space shifted from a damp, unreliable area into a dry, sealed, and protected foundation zone, helping safeguard the home against future moisture damage while improving overall durability and air quality.
As a home settles, it leads to a host of problems that will only worse over time. Cracks, springy or sloping floors, windows and doors that stick, and creaking floors all are signs of settlement. This home near Fort Oglethorpe, GA was exhibiting signs of settlement, including unsightly cracks! Our team installed our SmartJacks system, providing support to the crawlspace and staving off future damage.
A homeowner in Fort Oglethorpe, GA, sought help from Master Services due to unstable floors in their basement. They had been using the basement as an additional living space, but over time, the kitchen floor began to sink and warp, likely due to mold and soil settling. Upon inspection, our team identified the poor quality of the support wood beams as the root cause. To effectively address this issue, Master Services utilized our reliable Smart Jacks system. These specialized jacks are designed to provide durable support for sagging floors. Our crew installed them by drilling directly into the cement footing, offering a long-term solution that can be adjusted over time.
A former client from Hixson, TN reached out to our team about a previously severe bowing wall in their foundation that had been reinforced with Carbon Fiber by Master Services.

Our recommended solution included the installation of our reliable perimeter water guard drainage system and TripleSafe sump pump, which are specifically designed to collect and channel water away from basements. This solution guarantees that any water infiltration is securely collected and directed towards the TripleSafe pump, which has three layers of protection, including an additional pump for handling extreme loads, and an external battery for uninterrupted operation during power outages.
