Before & After Photos

This homeowner was preparing to sell their house, but their crawl space was damp and musty. A large crack was allowing water to seep in and the old insulation was failing. Encapsulation would add value to the home and would be a great selling point - so the homeowner contacted HomeSpec. 

Our crew encapsulated the crawl space with our CleanSpace system, insulated it with our SilverGlo rigid foam, and installed our powerful SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to control the moisture. We also installed drainage matting under the vapor barrier to help direct water to the sump pump.

Now this Oak Park homeowner no longer has to worry about their crawl space when selling their home!

With proper crawl space encapsulation, homeowners can prevent pests, humidity, mold, water damage, and a variety of other issues from affecting their home through their crawl space.  Having an encapsulated crawl space has many additional benefits as well, for example, your home won't feel as damp in the summer, while the floors will remain warm in the winter, helping save an average of 20% energy consumption.

As you can see from the photo, Elaina K. in Southfield, Michigan was dealing with a wet and muddy crawl space - which is why she called HomeSpec to have it waterproofed and encapsulated!

Project Manager Mark Buhr developed a repair that would best suit Elaina's needs. Jon Davis and his crew installed The SmartPipe™ Drainage System made for crawl spaces, and connected it to a brand new sump pump with a powerful Zoeller Pump inside. This system will collect water and funnel it away from the foundation. They then sealed the floor and walls with our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier to block moisture from entering. 

Our crew also installed SmartJack Support Posts in the crawl space to stop the floors above from sagging. This Southfield homeowner now has a dry, healthy crawl space thanks to the team at HomeSpec! 

A HomeSpec customer in Saint Clair Shores, MI experienced two winters in their new home and knew something had to change. The cold floors were unbearable, the $400 monthly utility costs were frustrating, and the sound of the sump pump turning on every eight minutes was annoying. Enough was enough, and the homeowner wanted to check the crawl space project off of their to-do list. They reached out to HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for a permanent solution.

Zach, one of HomeSpec’s senior project managers, visited the home to provide a free inspection. While in the crawl space, he took measurements and notes to asist in detailing the true scope of the problem. Zach then spoke with the homeowner and confirmed that the moisture in the crawl space was contributing to the uncomfortable symptoms they had been dealing with. He proposed installing SilverGlo™ insulation and CleanSpace® encapsulation to fight moisture and temperature issues. The homeowner agreed to this plan and worked with the HomeSpec team to decide when a crew would install these products. They were happy with the finished results!
