This homeowner owns an old farmhouse with a fieldstone foundation in Maybee, Michigan. He noticed that the floors above the crawl space were sagging and bouncy, so he contacted HomeSpec.
When our specialist performed an inspection though, water and high-humidity were also discovered in the crawl space. To solve these issues, HomeSpec had to install a vapor barrier, dehumidifier and support posts.
The SmartJack Support Posts were installed to raise and level the floors, and prevent them from sagging in the future. The crawl space was encapsulated with a CleanSpace Vapor Barrier to seal off the walls and floor from moisture. The dehumidifier was essential for maintaining a healthy 55% relative humidity - preventing condensation and mold growth.
The homeowner was very happy with the results of his dry, healthy crawl space!
Our team waterproofed, insulated, and encapsulated the crawl space and installed and interior drainage system.
Homeowners in Monroe, MI were due for new vent space cover as well as a crawl space encapsulation. This led them to reach out to us for a quick assessment and installation of the CleanSpace Systems.
This homeowner contacted HomeSpec because the structural support in her crawl space was failing severely - causing the floors above to sag and creating a hazard. No one wants to live with bouncy floors!
To solve this problem, our crew installed SmartJack support posts throughout the crawl space. We also installed supplemental beams, replaced and sistered the joists, and replaced the old shims with steel plate shims. Then we encapsulated the crawl space with the CleanSpace vapor barrier and vent covers.
These homeowners contacted HomeSpec because their crawl space was very humid and water was seeping in.
Our crew solved this problem by encapsulating the crawl space to keep it clean, dry, healthy, and free from mold and moisture for a more comfortable home.
