HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Fort Gratiot, MI was struggling with moisture in the crawl space of their house, built in 1940. They moved into the home in 2022 and learned that the previous owner had a leak that ran into the crawl space. This had gone unattended and developed into a lingering, musty scent throughout the house. It was annoying to deal with and was affecting the dog’s breathing. Not to mention, the floors were extra cold this past winter. The homeowner decided enough was enough and it was time to get the crawl space fixed up. They called HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair to discuss options during a free inspection.

One of HomeSpec’s senior project managers, Zach, took a walk-through, or crawl-through of the space and returned to the homeowner to talk. He explained that the best way to keep the home warm, save energy, and prevent moisture would be to insulate using SilverGlo™ and encapsulate with CleanSpace®. The homeowner liked these options and decided to let HomeSpec install the products that would resolve their issue. The crew that led this project was led by foreman Jon. After cleaning up once the job was complete, they left the house in better condition and with a happier homeowner.

Jonathon S. in Port Huron contacted HomeSpec to install a new access well for his crawl space.

There was only a makeshift wooden door on his old entrance, which allowed in pests, moisture, and debris. To fix this issue, foreman Jon Lont and his crew installed The Turtl™ entry system. This is immune to mold and pest damage, and locks securely to keep out unwanted pests and debris. The homeowner was very happy with the difference it made, too!

Shockingly, most of the air you breath in your home actually comes up from your crawl space - so if the crawl space is cold, musty and moldy - so is your home. 

This Port Huron homeowner, Veteran and first responder contacted HomeSpec because his crawl space insulation and vapor barrier were old and torn up, causing moisture and cold air to enter and wreak havoc. Project Manager Ben Gabowitz found a solution to solve this issue - crawl space encapsulation. 

Foreman Jon Davis and his crew sealed the exposed dirt floor and block walls with a CleanSpace® Vapor Barrier. This blocks moisture and humidity from entering. Then they used the SilverGlo Rigid Foam Insulation to create an airtight seal - preventing cold air from entering and flowing into the rest of the home. Lastly, they sealed the broken vents with CleanSpace® vent covers.
