Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

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. 

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. 

Robert L. in Commerce Township, Michigan contacted HomeSpec because he was suffering from sagging floors above his crawl space and knew it meant he had a structural problem below. There were also cracks in the upper level as well as the floor separating from the floor boards, which are all signs of settlement issues. 

Foreman Jon Lont was able to resolve these issues by installing a new supplemental beam with 5 SmartJack Support Posts. These galvanized steel posts stabilize the crawl space by holding the weight of the structure and lifting the floors above back to their original height – effectively eliminating the sagging floors.
