Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Our team waterproofed, insulated, and encapsulated the crawl space and installed and interior drainage system. 

The owner of this Plymouth, MI home intended to use the house as a rental property. However, the owner quickly became aware of a serious mold issue throughout the home and decided to call HomeSpec for a solution. Knowing they could help, HomeSpec sent David, a senior project manager to inspect the home. After evaluating the property, HomeSpec determined that the mold originated in the crawl space. This was causing mold growth throughout the house and creating an unhealthy living environment. After quickly identifying the problem, HomeSpec created a repair plan to resolve the issue.

HomeSpec proposed starting by removing the mold. Eliminating the mold would allow the team to have a clean, ready-to-use crawl space. Once the mold was removed, HomeSpec suggested installing the SilverGlo™ Crawl Space Insulation System. This would add a radiant heat barrier while also helping to control moisture. To provide a clean, durable encapsulation in the crawl space, HomeSpec recommended installing the CleanSpace® Crawl Space Encapsulation System. To complete the project, HomeSpec proposed installing a Sanidry dehumidifier. This would remove any excess moisture from the crawl space, making the home a healthier living environment. Once the owner agreed to the repair plan, a team led by Kevin got to work. After the installations were complete, the owner was glad to have a clean, healthy home that they could now confidently use as a rental property.

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. 

A house in Luna Pier, MI was experiencing sagging floors in the middle and back of the home. The owner reached out to HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair to install floor jacks in the crawl space as this would help get the house up to code. They had previously contacted someone else for help; however, that individual did not install all of the jacks, and the ones that were used were of poor quality. The homeowner had been thinking about this project for three years before scheduling a free inspection with Homespec.

A senior project manager named Zach went out to the appointment and met with the homeowner. They talked about concerns and explored the crawl space. Zach agreed that installing support posts was the right method of stabilizing the floor. He also proposed encapsulating the crawl space using CleanSpace® vapor barrier. The homeowner approved of this combination and moved forward with the project. A crew led by Travis saw this repair plan to completion so the homeowner would no longer have this issue lingering in the back of their mind.
