Our crew received a request from a homeowner in Ferndale, MI who wanted to address the debris that had accumulated in their crawlspace over the years. Frustrated by the mess and its potential impact on their home's overall well-being, they reached out to us for help. With our crews' combined experience in encapsulation, they reassured the homeowner and cleared out the debris to create a clean environment beneath their home.
This homeowner was preparing to sell their house, but their crawl space was damp and musty. A large crack was allowing water to seep in and the old insulation was failing. Encapsulation would add value to the home and would be a great selling point - so the homeowner contacted HomeSpec.
Our crew encapsulated the crawl space with our CleanSpace system, insulated it with our SilverGlo rigid foam, and installed our powerful SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to control the moisture. We also installed drainage matting under the vapor barrier to help direct water to the sump pump.
Now this Oak Park homeowner no longer has to worry about their crawl space when selling their home!
This homeowner contacted HomeSpec to get his concrete driveway repaired after putting it off for many years. Several slabs were sunken and cracked, causing a tripping hazard. He needed a permanent solution.
Our team used PolyLevel to solve this problem. We injected an expanding 2-part polymer rigid foam under the concrete slabs to raise and level them by filling in gaps caused by soil shrinkage and washout. Then we sealed all of the cracks and joints with our NexusPro sealant. Then the concrete was sealed with our SealantPro to protect and preserve it. This prevents discoloration, flaking, and cracking over time. The homeowner was so happy with how his driveway transformed!
Did you know that HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair does work on housing cooperatives and apartments as well as single-family homes? In this case, Homespec was contacted by a management company to fix a few vertical cracks in the basement walls of a co-op unit in Center Line, MI. These types of cracks can be easily repaired by one of HomeSpec’s foremen using high pressure urethane injections. The manager agreed to let HomeSpec move forward with the repairs.
A PolyLevel foreman, Domonique, injected a material that expanded behind the crack to fill in the gaps where water might pass through. The crack was then sealed to provide a permanent, waterproof solution. The company was happy with the crack repairs and happy knowing a new resident would be able to enjoy every floor of the unit.
This family wanted in Huntington Woods, MI wanted a new EverLast Access Well installed in their crawl space. Our crew also lined their crawl space with SilverGlo and cleaned out the debris.
