Before & After Photos

A Troy, MI homeowner had discovered a new musty smell in their home after 40 years of living in it. They came to the realization that the smell was originating from their crawl space. Once they had done a personal inspection on their home, they had found water leakage. Concerned this would cause damage to the wood and foundation, they decided to give HomeSpec a call. 

HomeSpec’s senior project manager, Mark, inspected this residence and confirmed that water had accessed the crawl space. Mark had proposed to the homeowners that a TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System accompanied with SmartPipe™ perimeter drainage pipe Drainage system would be the best fit for their situation. The homeowners agreed, and the team got to work waterproofing the homeowner’s crawl space. At the end of the installations the team members were able to encapsulate the crawl space with CleanSpace® vapor barrier to combat the musty smells from returning. The homeowners were happy knowing their crawl space was suited to keep water from damaging their home.

A homeowner in Saline, MI, noticed water leakage in the basement. The basement is unfinished, but the homeowners use the space for storage. They wanted a solution to their problem and decided to give HomeSpec a call for help. HomeSpec’s senior project manager, Erik, gave a free inspection of the homeowner’s basement. He confirmed the water leakage and proposed a solution to prevent any further problems.

Erik proposed that HomeSpec install a TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System to protect the basement, along with an Interior Drainage System to help guide unwanted water to the sump pump. Erik then suggested they finish the basement with the CleanSpace® Wall System to help hold back the water vapor passing through the walls. The homeowner accepted the plan, and a team from HomeSpec, led by Rick, got to work. The homeowner was happy with the final product and was glad to have peace of mind knowing that the basement was protected from any further problems.

Homeowners in Royal Oak, MI, have owned their home for 10 years. They have been experiencing water leakage in their crawl space for a while now and wanted to repair it. They decided to call HomeSpec for help. Mark, a senior project manager at HomeSpec, came out to perform a free inspection of the home.

Mark confirmed the water leakage in the crawl space and proposed a solution to their problem. He suggested that HomeSpec install the SilverGlo™ Crawl Space Insulation System to provide waterproof insulation with a radiant heat barrier, along with the CleanSpace® crawl space encapsulation system to add a clean, sustainable finish and prevent any future water leakage. To finish it off, Mark proposed installing a Sanidry dehumidifier to prevent mold growth and moisture in the crawl space. The homeowners agreed to the plan, and a team led by Jon got to work. After the project was completed, the homeowners were pleased with the final results and happy to have a stress-free crawl space.

Many people neglect their crawl spaces, especially the crawl space door. But it's much more important than you think, especially if your crawl space is already encapsulated - it's supposed to prevent water, humidity, and even critters from infiltrating. The door should fit perfectly, and provide an airtight seal. 

The door on this Palmyra crawl space was wooden and damaged by water. Bricks were placed in front just to hold the door shut. After encapsulating, HomeSpec installed our EverLast™ Crawl Space Door to waterproof the entrance. It's made of high-quality, inorganic material so it won't attract mold or rot over time. 

Our crews encapsulated a crawl space in Saline. We also installed an interior drainage system.
