Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

A Troy, MI homeowner had discovered a new musty smell in their home after 40 years of living in it. They came to the realization that the smell was originating from their crawl space. Once they had done a personal inspection on their home, they had found water leakage. Concerned this would cause damage to the wood and foundation, they decided to give HomeSpec a call. 

HomeSpec’s senior project manager, Mark, inspected this residence and confirmed that water had accessed the crawl space. Mark had proposed to the homeowners that a TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System accompanied with SmartPipe™ perimeter drainage pipe Drainage system would be the best fit for their situation. The homeowners agreed, and the team got to work waterproofing the homeowner’s crawl space. At the end of the installations the team members were able to encapsulate the crawl space with CleanSpace® vapor barrier to combat the musty smells from returning. The homeowners were happy knowing their crawl space was suited to keep water from damaging their home.

Homeowners in Royal Oak, MI, have owned their home for 10 years. They have been experiencing water leakage in their crawl space for a while now and wanted to repair it. They decided to call HomeSpec for help. Mark, a senior project manager at HomeSpec, came out to perform a free inspection of the home.

Mark confirmed the water leakage in the crawl space and proposed a solution to their problem. He suggested that HomeSpec install the SilverGlo™ Crawl Space Insulation System to provide waterproof insulation with a radiant heat barrier, along with the CleanSpace® crawl space encapsulation system to add a clean, sustainable finish and prevent any future water leakage. To finish it off, Mark proposed installing a Sanidry dehumidifier to prevent mold growth and moisture in the crawl space. The homeowners agreed to the plan, and a team led by Jon got to work. After the project was completed, the homeowners were pleased with the final results and happy to have a stress-free crawl space.

A family in Gregory, MI were struggling with uneven floors in what they hoped to be their forever home. There was a hump in the kitchen floor that was beginning to affect the second story as well. The porch door was sticking and they noticed a musty mold smell in the home. The homeowners wanted to remodel the kitchen floor but knew it needed to be leveled first. With these concerns in mind, they called HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for help.

A senior project manager named Zach conducted the inspection. He talked with the homeowners about their worries and entered the crawl space to learn more about the situation. While in the crawl space, Zach noted where the home could use more support. He discussed his findings with the homeowners and proposed installing a supplemental beam and SmartJack® support posts. These galvanized steel posts offer structural support and can have the height adjusted as needed. The homeowners agreed with the repair plan and moved forward with the project. A crew, led by Jim, worked hard to make sure the family was happy with the final results.

Many people neglect their crawl spaces, especially the crawl space door. But it's much more important than you think, especially if your crawl space is already encapsulated - it's supposed to prevent water, humidity, and even critters from infiltrating. The door should fit perfectly, and provide an airtight seal. 

The door on this Palmyra crawl space was wooden and damaged by water. Bricks were placed in front just to hold the door shut. After encapsulating, HomeSpec installed our EverLast™ Crawl Space Door to waterproof the entrance. It's made of high-quality, inorganic material so it won't attract mold or rot over time. 

A homeowner in Blissfield, MI noticed that the corners of their foundation were cracking. Water was also getting into the basement. Throughout the seven years of owning this house, they had been making improvements to increase the value. However, the renovations had to be put on hold until the foundation issues were resolved. The homeowner heard that HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair offered free inspections and decided to give it a go.

The senior project manager who inspected the home was Mark. Mark thoroughly examined the crawl space, the inside, and the outside of the house. The crumbling corners could be seen from both inside and outside of the crawl space. He shared with the homeowner that the best way to relieve the pressure on the foundation would be to use a SmartJack® support system and a supplemental beam. They approved of this method and HomeSpec scheduled their team to get started. The homeowner was happy with the final results and had peace of mind that they would not need to worry about structural issues any longer.
