Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Lake Orion, MI was preparing to sell their home when an inspector for the interested party discovered mold and moisture in the crawl space. The current homeowner wanted to ensure this was addressed so the sale could proceed. They called HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair to see what could be done about getting the crawl space repaired.

Zach, a senior project manager for HomeSpec, entered the crawl space to do another inspection. Afterward, he recommended that the homeowner allow HomeSpec to use Mold-X2 to address the mold and encapsulate the crawl space using CleanSpace®. This combination would get rid of the mold and prevent it from coming back. The homeowner agreed to this plan and a HomeSpec crew led by foreman David went forward with the repairs. The crawl space was transformed from damp, dirty, and unlevel to a dry, clean, and balanced zone.

An unfinished crawl space can cause a ton of problems for homeowners, most notably moisture-related issues. Moisture can cause rot, mold, and other forms of decay, compromising the structural integrity of the home. Additionally, high levels of humidity can create an environment that attracts pests such as termites, rodents, and insects. Not only does this pose a health risk for the occupants of the home, but it can also make it difficult to sell the property in the future.

When our crew recommended the The CleanSpace Encapsulation system and SaniDry Sedona to help solve these moisture problems, the homeowners were more than happy to get the work started. The CleanSpace Encapsulation system involves installing a heavy-duty liner to the floor and walls of the crawl space, creating an impermeable barrier that prevents water and moisture from seeping in. The SaniDry Sedona, on the other hand, is a dehumidifier that helps control the level of humidity within the crawl space. The combination of these two systems helps create a dry, healthy, and pest-free environment in the crawl space, ensuring the longevity of the home and the family's health.

This homeowner was preparing to sell their house, but their crawl space was damp and musty. A large crack was allowing water to seep in and the old insulation was failing. Encapsulation would add value to the home and would be a great selling point - so the homeowner contacted HomeSpec. 

Our crew encapsulated the crawl space with our CleanSpace system, insulated it with our SilverGlo rigid foam, and installed our powerful SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to control the moisture. We also installed drainage matting under the vapor barrier to help direct water to the sump pump.

Now this Oak Park homeowner no longer has to worry about their crawl space when selling their home!

These homeowners in Berkley, Michigan wanted to add a second story onto their home, but had to halt renovations after noticing issues with their foundation. Their floors were sagging and thought one corner might be sinking. 

When inspecting the crawl space, project manager David Kingsley found many rotting posts in bad shape, causing the settlement. If they were to add a second story, the foundation would need the ability to withstand the weight. 

That's why Jon Lont and his crew installed SmartJack Crawl Space Support Posts. These lift, level, and stabilize the crawl space. With a sturdy concrete base, there's no need to worry about further sinking. The strong galvanized steel is long-lasting and resistant to water, pests, or mold. 

This family wanted in Huntington Woods, MI wanted a new EverLast Access Well installed in their crawl space. Our crew also lined their crawl space with SilverGlo and cleaned out the debris.
