Job Stories

This homeowner contacted HomeSpec to completely waterproof his crawl space. Our crew encapsulated the crawl space with our CleanSpace system, installed a dehumidifier, and insulated the crawl space with our high-performance rigid foam insulation. 

The insulation in this Rockwood crawl space was in a very poor condition and looked incredibly messy, so the homeowner wanted it removed and the crawl space encapsulated instead. Encapsulation is much more efficient and reliable than old insulation that quickly loses its R-value over time.  After the crawl space was cleaned and sealed with the encapsulation process, the homeowner immediately noticed a difference in her home. It was winter, but her floors felt warmer. The slight musty smell in the home also disappeared. She was so ecstatic to see and feel the effects of her newly encapsulated crawl space!    

These homeowners were having trouble with water pooling in their yard after rain, especially near their foundation. Then they noticed that their basement was wet and a crack in the wall was leaking. They were worried it was due to the poor drainage in their yard, so they graded the ground to slope away from the foundation. The basement was still leaking though, so they called HomeSpec.  Our crew installed an interior drainage system with a sump pump to waterproof the basement and ensure these homeowners won't have to deal with this problem again. We also buried the sump's discharge line and extended it to the fence, so water won't be able to pool around the foundation. 

A Family had recently moved into their new home in Gibraltar, MI and was experiencing some structural issues in the basement. The home they had purchased was over 70 years old and had experienced a lot of settling and shifting over the years. This resulted in cracks in the walls and an uneven floor that made it difficult for them to use the space for anything other than storage. After consulting a few friends and family about the best possible course of action, this family reached out to HomeSpec BasementFix to solve their problem.    Upon learning about their situation, our Project Manager was sent to the home to assess the damage and provide a free detailed inspection. After conducting his thorough evaluation, he proposed a solution that involved installing the SmartJack Support System in their basement.  This homeowner was pleased with the proposal as they had done some research about the benefits and capabilities of the SmartJack Support System and were excited for us to get started.   Our crew of skilled technicians arrived at home to install the SmartJack Support System. They began by removing the old, unstable support posts and installing the new SmartJacks in their place. The SmartJack Support System provides a stable and secure foundation, ensuring that the basement remains free from cracks, settling, and other common problems. Additionally, the SmartJack system is fully adjustable, allowing the homeowner to adjust the height and level of the floor as needed. This meant that they could accommodate any changes in the height of their basement, ensuring the floor remains level and stable over time. Furthermore, the SmartJack system is also cost-effective and easy to install for this family, making it an ideal solution for these homeowners who want to improve the stability of their basement without breaking the bank.    After the project was completed, the family was pleased with the results of the installation. Their basement was now a safe, stable, and functional living space they could enjoy. They were particularly pleased with HomeSpec BasementFix for providing a solution that was cost-effective, easy to install, and provided long-term support to their structural issues.
