  • Crawl space encapsulation

Concrete Leveling Specialists

Over time concrete can sink due to the soil beneath it shifting or washing away, leaving voids. You’ve likely seen this before with sidewalks where some concrete slabs may be higher or lower than others. This can cause issues with drainage and also creates a tripping hazard.

While the solution to these issues is often mudjacking or slabjacking, these methods take a while to cure and can have other issues. Luckily there is an alternative available in the form of PolyLevel®. This concrete leveling solution involves injecting a specialized polyurethane foam beneath the slab which expands to fill the voids left behind by shifting soil, leveling out the concrete once more.

Job Stories From Livonia, MI
Crawl Space in Livonia, Mi Crawl Space Drained Out and Sagging Floors Stability Restored

This homeowner in Livonia, Mi noticed their floors sagging over time and began to worry that the support beams may be failing. They feared the floor may cave in on itself if they didn’t address their foundation support concerns and had their crawl space properly examined. However, thought they were informed that they had a crawl space when they bought the house years ago, they had no idea how to access it, or go about addressing the problem in general. They needed to find a reliable foundation repair contractor that had experience with crawl spaces. After some research, they felt comfortable in reaching out to HomeSpec.

 

Project manager Jesse was able to find the crawl space access hidden in a closet, through his inspection of the property. There wasn't a lot of room to work with, but it was quickly confirmed that there was a large amount of standing water in the crawl space that would need to be pumped out immediately. Our crew set to work to drain out the crawl space of all the standing water, before installing the SmartJack crawl space support system to help stabilize the foundation. This system provides solid support for sagging and undersized beams, restoring stability and straightness to sagging floor joists in a crawl space.

Sinking Home in Livonia, Mi Saved with PolyLevel for Concrete Leveling Needs

At first glance on the outside, a concrete leveling need wasn't readily apparent for this Livonia, Mi house. However, as its residents could tell you, the issue would become readily apparent once you stepped inside the home itself. The walls had been separating from the floors all throughout the home in various rooms and hallways. Now, where the walls would normally be flush against the floor, were instead large cracks and gaps. The reason for this drastic issue over time was the fact that the house was built on a concrete slab, which had started to sink along with the house due to the natural movement of the soil underneath. Concrete is often poured over loose, weak, or backfill soil at construction, and over time the soil can settle, shrink in dry conditions, and soften or wash away completely as water runs through cracks and joints.

 

Project Manager Dave was able to recognize this problem early on in his inspection due to past circumstances, helping to explain the cause by using his past experience as a clear example. Once the homeowners understood the need was primarily to have a concrete leveling specialist in the Livonia, Mi area adjust the slab reliably back to level. Dave explained how our PolyLevel system would be best utilized to give them peace of mind. PolyLevel lifts and levels concrete slabs with powerful polyurethane foam. Basically, pea-sized holes are drilled into the slab and the foam is injected to fill the void underneath. The installation technique allows the foam to expand as it cures, perfectly, lifting the slab back up into place.

 

After a short installation process, the homeowners noticed a drastic difference in their situation within an hour of completion, returning to them a long-lost sense of security.

Terrible Odor in Livonia, Mi Home Rectified with Crawl Space Encapsulation and Dehumidifier

This homeowner in Livonia, Mi, would constantly get an extremely strong unpleasant odor spreading throughout their entire house whenever their central air would turn on. They had a solid understanding of the contributing factors an unsecured crawl space could have in causing the problem, from having worked in home construction in the past. They also understood that even when inquiring about a crawl space dehumidifier, it was best to have the crawl space professionally inspected by a reliable contractor in the area. Unsatisfied with past service from the competition, he reached out to HomeSpec Basementfix to address the problem.                       

 

 Project manager Jesse explored the crawl space to confirm the homeowner's concerns and agreed that the current condition of the crawl space was the most likely culprit of the awful smell spreading through the house. While a crawl space dehumidifier could help improve their general health and quality of life, to properly address the problem at the root would require crawl space encapsulation.        

                      

Our crew would follow the outlined plan, as agreed to by the homeowner. First, removing debris, leveling the area somewhat, and treating the worksite with proper disinfectant. Next would come the crawl space encapsulation proper via the CleanSpace system; a 20 mil-thick-liner manufactured in 7 layers consisting of a mix of both low- and high-density polyethylene blends for both durability and flexibility. With its antimicrobial additive woven into the material, it ensures no new mold growth and less pests. Our team was careful to ensure support piers were properly wrapped in the area, and sealed airtight, leaving the crawl space with a healthy vibrant white finish. Finally, the Sani-Dry Sedona crawl space dehumidifier was added in, with its "Duet" filter which efficiently removes mold spores, dust mite droppings (the number 1 allergen cause), dust and other particulates from the air with a large MERV 8 filter with carbon for the odor reduction the homeowner wanted.         

                              

With the combination of the Dehumidifier and Encapsulation, the homeowner's immediate concerns were handled as well as futureproofed to ensure long lasting comfort.
