The crawl space below this business in Richmond, Michigan was experiencing water issues, so the owners called HomeSpec. Water was leaking in at multiple walls and pooling on the floor. A musty smell could sometimes be caught in the store above.
To combat this issue, our crawl space experts decided a full waterproofing and encapsulation system would be best. In order to waterproof, a sump pump, dehumidifier, and perimeter drainage system was needed. Then the area was encapsulated with a vapor barrier. Now the store owners are so excited to have extra space for their business and not have to worry about their goods getting water damaged!
Our team installed an interior drainage system and encapsulated a crawl space in Goodells.
Stephanie K. used her small 7' x 7' crawl space as a storage space, like many other people. It was already equipped with a sump pump, but the old brick walls would occasionally leak. Belongings were getting ruined and it was starting to smell musty, so she contacted HomeSpec to propose a plan for repairs.
Our specialists recommended encapsulating the crawl space to seal off the walls and floor from moisture and water vapor. Stephanie was excited about the plan and the crew got to work. They installed the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier to get the job done. This is antimicrobial and made of inorganic material to prevent mold growth while keeping the crawl space dry and clean.
Stephanie was very happy with the results and immediately noticed the disappearance of the musty smells. Now she has a healthy crawl space safe to store all of her belongings!
A huge problem homeowners face in the wintertime is frozen pipes - it's a headache to deal with and happens when there's not proper insulation in the crawl space to keep it warm.
That's why these Avoca, Michigan homeowners contacted HomeSpec. They were tired of dealing with frozen pipes every winter - they even had TWO heaters installed in their crawl space to mediate the situation!
Our experts knew exactly what the crawl space needed - encapsulation. This includes sealing the crawl space walls and floor off with a CleanSpace vapor barrier, and sealing the rim joists and any other gaps with the SilverGlo insulation to prevent air and moisture leaks. This separates the crawl space from the outside - keeping it warm, dry, and clean.
Now the homeowners don't need to depend on heaters in their crawl space to keep it warm (and waste electricity) since the encapsulation gets the job done!
These homeowners in Marine City, MI contacted HomeSpec because their floors were sagging. Their mobile home sat on a crawl space and we suspected faulty support posts were leading to the saggy floors since we see it often.
Sure enough, during the inspection, rusting and rotting posts were discovered. It's crucial to have sturdy support in the crawl space to prevent issues like this from occurring and worsening. So to solve this problem, our crew replaced the posts with our SmartJack Support Posts to raise and level the floors above.
The homeowner also wanted the crawl space encapsulated, so we sealed the walls and floor with the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier to keep it as healthy as possible.
Now their floors are no longer sagging and their crawl space is dry and clean!
