Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Our crews encapsulated a crawl space in Saline. We also installed an interior drainage system. 

A homeowner in Saline, MI reached out to HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for a free consultation. They were interested in encapsulating their crawl spaces, of which there were two. Both the homeowner and their child struggled with asthma, and feared that mold would grow and contaminate the air quality throughout the house. After explaining details to the scheduling team, they were able to set up an appointment with a project manager who regularly inspects crawl spaces.

Bill was the project manager helping this homeowner. He spoke with them about their concerns before entering the crawl spaces. While inspecting, Bill took great care in recording details not only for his analysis but so he could inform the homeowner. They talked about what Bill witnessed and then about his recommendations. Together, they decided to encapsulate the crawl space using a CleanSpace® vapor barrier and install a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier. The homeowner then planned a time for the repairs to be completed. The crew was led by a foreman named Jim, and he and his team worked diligently to finish the project. The homeowner was happy with their crawl space repair!

This family in Ann Arbor, MI wanted to have the crawl space in their new home encapsulated to prevent any future damage or odors from coming into the living space.

A homeowner in Ann Arbor, MI, has owned their home for over 30 years. They are planning to sell the home, but have encountered a problem with their crawl space. There are currently no concerns about moisture, mold, or humidity. However, the flooring of the home tends to be cold, and the homeowner wants to address this problem and ensure no future issues. They decided to call HomeSpec for help.

Zach, a senior project manager at HomeSpec, conducted a free inspection of the home. He confirmed the cold floors and assured the homeowner that HomeSpec could help protect against any future crawl space issues. Zach proposed using CleanSpace® Basement Wall Vapor Barrier to prevent leaks and mold growth on the crawl space walls, along with the CleanSpace® Crawl Space Encapsulation System to help prevent future problems. He also recommended EverLast™ basement windows to provide a reliable, clean, finished appearance both inside and out. The homeowner accepted the plan, and a team from HomeSpec led by Kevin and Mike got to work. The homeowner was pleased with the finished product and was at ease regarding any potential crawl space problems.

The Community Action Network in Ann Arbor was coordinating and paying for home rehabilitation for low-income households. This home was one of five that had been identified as needing new drainage in the crawl space. After the senior project manager, Erik, inspected the area and recommended more than just drainage to fully transform this home.

The representative and Erik decided together to install SmartSump™ Crawl Space Sump Pump System, SmartPipe™ perimeter drainage pipe, and CleanSpace® to waterproof the crawl space, insulation using SilverGlo™, and a rain garden where the water is discharged. This combination would protect the home and provide a clean aesthetic both inside and out. Foreman Jon led the HomeSpec crew in the repairs and installation. The Community Action Network enjoyed working with HomeSpec on this project so much that they continued to work on other homes as well.
