Before & After Photos

Shockingly, most of the air you breath in your home actually comes up from your crawl space - so if the crawl space is cold, musty and moldy - so is your home. 

This Port Huron homeowner, Veteran and first responder contacted HomeSpec because his crawl space insulation and vapor barrier were old and torn up, causing moisture and cold air to enter and wreak havoc. Project Manager Ben Gabowitz found a solution to solve this issue - crawl space encapsulation. 

Foreman Jon Davis and his crew sealed the exposed dirt floor and block walls with a CleanSpace® Vapor Barrier. This blocks moisture and humidity from entering. Then they used the SilverGlo Rigid Foam Insulation to create an airtight seal - preventing cold air from entering and flowing into the rest of the home. Lastly, they sealed the broken vents with CleanSpace® vent covers. 

A homeowner from Port Huron, MI, has owned their home for over 10 years. They plan for it to be their forever home but would like to address the existing problems. They contacted HomeSpec for help with their crawl space. They had been experiencing water leakage and sagging floors, which also created a musty smell they wanted to eliminate. HomeSpec, confident they could help, sent senior project manager Zach to inspect the home.

Zach performed a thorough evaluation, confirming both the water intrusion and sagging floors. He identified that the musty smell was coming from the crawl space due to the water leaks. Zach then created a repair plan and proposed it to the homeowners. He suggested starting by installing the SmartPipe™ Crawl Space Drainage System. This would collect unwanted water and direct it to the sump pump, eliminating standing water in the crawl space. Next, he recommended installing the SmartJack® Crawl Space Support System to provide durable support to the sagging floors. To finish the job, Zach proposed adding a clean, lasting finish with CleanSpace® Crawl Space Encapsulation. This would protect the crawl space while also helping to eliminate the musty odors. Once the homeowners agreed to the repair plan, a team from HomeSpec quickly got to work. When the job was complete, the homeowners were glad to have a clean, worry-free, and properly supported crawl space.

A homeowner in Pinckney, MI noticed a few vertical cracks in their foundation walls that had water seeping through. Before things could escalate, they began looking for help. They called HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair to conduct an inspection. The senior project manager, Keith, recommended repairs that would fill in the cracks where the water is leaking through and then seal the cracks themselves. The crew would use high pressure urethane injections for this type of repair. The homeowner was happy to hear of this option and decided HomeSpec was the company to take care of their home.

A homeowner in Manitou Beach, MI noticed that one corner of their home was sloping. It had reached a point where they knew professional intervention was necessary. The homeowner called HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for help. A senior project manager, Ben, performed an inspection and discussed some options with the homeowner.

The homeowner liked the plan that involved repairing the settlement issue from within the crawl space. Ben explained that a SmartJack® support system and supplemental beams would be installed and follow a lift procedure to return the floor to a level position. The repairs were done by a crew led by foreman Jon.

A family in Gregory, MI were struggling with uneven floors in what they hoped to be their forever home. There was a hump in the kitchen floor that was beginning to affect the second story as well. The porch door was sticking and they noticed a musty mold smell in the home. The homeowners wanted to remodel the kitchen floor but knew it needed to be leveled first. With these concerns in mind, they called HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for help.

A senior project manager named Zach conducted the inspection. He talked with the homeowners about their worries and entered the crawl space to learn more about the situation. While in the crawl space, Zach noted where the home could use more support. He discussed his findings with the homeowners and proposed installing a supplemental beam and SmartJack® support posts. These galvanized steel posts offer structural support and can have the height adjusted as needed. The homeowners agreed with the repair plan and moved forward with the project. A crew, led by Jim, worked hard to make sure the family was happy with the final results.
