Before & After Photos

Our team installed an interior drainage system and encapsulated a crawl space in Goodells.

A Smiths Creek couple moved into their home in late 2022. Since then, they had noticed sagging floors on the main level of their house. It was apparent that water was getting into the crawl space and there was also water pooling around the outside. It was important to the homeowners that a professional company install supports and waterproof their crawl space so they could eventually renovate the main floor. They called HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for a free estimate.

Zach, a senior project manager for HomeSpec, accessed the crawl space and investigated its condition. When he emerged, he met with the homeowners to discuss a repair plan. He recommended installing SmartJack® support posts to lift the sagging floor and stabilize the remaining area. Then, he recommended installing SmartPipe™ perimeter drainage pipe, CleanSpace®, and a crawl space vent cover to waterproof and encapsulate the crawl space. The homeowners agreed to this plan and later witnessed their crawl space be transformed by a HomeSpec crew led by a foreman named Brandon. They were happy with the final results!

Jonathon S. in Port Huron contacted HomeSpec to install a new access well for his crawl space.

There was only a makeshift wooden door on his old entrance, which allowed in pests, moisture, and debris. To fix this issue, foreman Jon Lont and his crew installed The Turtl™ entry system. This is immune to mold and pest damage, and locks securely to keep out unwanted pests and debris. The homeowner was very happy with the difference it made, too!

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 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!
