Barbara M. of Grenada, MS needed help. The crawl space in her home was in bad shape and in need of repair. Water and prolonged moisture caused major damage to the wood in the crawl space. There was mold, mildew, rot, and broken joists. This is an example of worst case scenario. Luckily, Barbara called Redeemers Group.
Specialist Wes went out to Grenada to give Barbara a free inspection and to provide a solution to these problems. He explained why this was happening, and what Redeemers Group could do to permanently fix and protect her crawl space. She agreed and the work was scheduled.
Eugene, our crawl space and wood working expert, started by removing all the rotted wood and replacing it with new wood. This meant new beams, joists, and subfloors. After that, he used our LumberKoteTM wood sealer to protect the wood in the crawl space from future water damage. The real protection comes with a full crawl space encapsulation, in which the whole crawl space is covered, protected, water is diverted, and the humidity in the air is controlled. If you are experiencing crawl space issues, don't wait until the damage is this severe. Call us now!
