Before & After Photos

Our team cleaned and encapsulated a crawl sapce.

A homeowner in Lake Orion, MI was preparing to sell their home when an inspector for the interested party discovered mold and moisture in the crawl space. The current homeowner wanted to ensure this was addressed so the sale could proceed. They called HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair to see what could be done about getting the crawl space repaired.

Zach, a senior project manager for HomeSpec, entered the crawl space to do another inspection. Afterward, he recommended that the homeowner allow HomeSpec to use Mold-X2 to address the mold and encapsulate the crawl space using CleanSpace®. This combination would get rid of the mold and prevent it from coming back. The homeowner agreed to this plan and a HomeSpec crew led by foreman David went forward with the repairs. The crawl space was transformed from damp, dirty, and unlevel to a dry, clean, and balanced zone.

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!

These homeowners in Berkley, Michigan wanted to add a second story onto their home, but had to halt renovations after noticing issues with their foundation. Their floors were sagging and thought one corner might be sinking. 

When inspecting the crawl space, project manager David Kingsley found many rotting posts in bad shape, causing the settlement. If they were to add a second story, the foundation would need the ability to withstand the weight. 

That's why Jon Lont and his crew installed SmartJack Crawl Space Support Posts. These lift, level, and stabilize the crawl space. With a sturdy concrete base, there's no need to worry about further sinking. The strong galvanized steel is long-lasting and resistant to water, pests, or mold. 

In Royal Oak, MI, a newly married couple bought their first home together. Within the first week of moving into the home, they noticed a musty smell that would not go away and that the floors were always cold. They decided to take a look at their new crawl space but quickly realized that it was only new to them. The crawl space was littered with debris and mold. It was a task they wanted experienced professionals to tackle, so they called HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair.

A senior project manager, Zach, did an inspection to determine the best course of action. He suggested insulating the crawl space with SilverGlo™ to address the cold floors and encapsulating it with CleanSpace® to fight the moisture. He also made the recommendations to fight the mold using Mold-X2 and creating a waterproof seal with an EverLast™ crawl space door. These multiple solutions reassured the homeowners and they agreed to all of the repairs with HomeSpec. They were installed by a team led by foreman Jon. Now when the couple needs to investigate their crawl space, they no longer see dirt, leaves, and other debris. They see a clean, dry, usable space.
