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!
Egress windows come with a ton of benefits - from all the natural light they allow into basements, to the emergency exit they provide to keep your family safe. But without a proper window well and drainage, they are very susceptible to leaking. That's why this Marysville homeowner contacted HomeSpec.
JoAnn's window well was leaking for two main reasons: 1) water was pooling in the well because of inadequate drainage and 2) absence of a window well cover to keep out water.
To solve this problem, HomeSpec replaced the old wooden well with our Rockwell window well with proper drainage. We also installed a cover to keep out water and debris!
This homeowner in Almont, MI saw that their patio was creating trip hazards. They also noted that water was not running off in the right direction, if at all, which was causing damage and puddles on some concrete slabs. Neither of these issues would get better with time, only worse, so the homeowner called HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair.
HomeSpec provided a free inspection because the homeowner was present. Throughout the inspection, HomeSpec’s project manager took pictures to highlight the worst cracking and unleveled areas. After an in-depth discussion with the homeowner, the project manager recommended PolyLevel® Injection Foam to level the areas that have sunk and need to direct the water runoff. He also recommended the concrete protection system using NexusPro sealant.
The homeowner agreed with this proposal and HomeSpec scheduled a crew. The team was led by foreman Domonique. Working together, they were able to complete the project in just a few short days. The patio was now not only leveled and free of trip hazards as desired, but the joints were also protected from UV rays, harsh weather conditions, and weeds.
This Goodrich homeowner was working on the curb appeal of his home before putting it on the market. He knew how important curb appeal is when it comes to selling a home - it attracts the attention of home buyers and adds value. But the walkway slabs leading to the porch were lopsided with messy weeds growing in-between the cracks. The concrete need some TLC!
HomeSpec came to the rescue with our innovative PolyLevel system. The slabs were leveled, sealed, and ready to go the same day. The joints were also sealed to prevent weeds from growing again. The homeowner was happy he hired the right contractors to complete his concrete job!
Our team installed an interior drainage system and encapsulated a crawl space in Goodells.
