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.
A homeowner in Saline, MI reached out to HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for a free consultation. They were interested in encapsulating their crawl spaces, of which there were two. Both the homeowner and their child struggled with asthma, and feared that mold would grow and contaminate the air quality throughout the house. After explaining details to the scheduling team, they were able to set up an appointment with a project manager who regularly inspects crawl spaces.
Bill was the project manager helping this homeowner. He spoke with them about their concerns before entering the crawl spaces. While inspecting, Bill took great care in recording details not only for his analysis but so he could inform the homeowner. They talked about what Bill witnessed and then about his recommendations. Together, they decided to encapsulate the crawl space using a CleanSpace® vapor barrier and install a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier. The homeowner then planned a time for the repairs to be completed. The crew was led by a foreman named Jim, and he and his team worked diligently to finish the project. The homeowner was happy with their crawl space repair!
A Saline, MI, home was having trouble with water leakage in the basement. Water was coming through the floors and walls. The homeowners reached out to HomeSpec looking for a solution to their basement issues. HomeSpec sent project manager Bill to provide a free inspection of the home. While Bill was evaluating the basement, he confirmed the water leakage and prepared a repair plan to propose to the homeowners.
Bill proposed that the homeowners install an Interior Drainage System. This would help collect any unwanted water in the basement and direct it toward the sump pump. For a clean, reliable finish, Bill also recommended installing a CleanSpace® wall vapor barrier. This would help prevent the growth of mold and moisture, keeping the basement dry. After the homeowners agreed to the installations, a team from HomeSpec, led by Michael and accompanied by plumbing specialist Rick, quickly and efficiently completed the work. The homeowners were glad to have a dry basement and happy to be able to use it without worry.
