Lambertville, MI Family Encapsulated Crawl Space with Vent Covers

A family in Lambertville, MI noticed a musty smell in their home after returning from their vacation. They knew that the cause of this was moisture and wanted a solution that would prevent situations like this in the future. So, they reached out to HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair with an interest in a vapor barrier. After Zach, a senior project manager, did an inspection of the home and crawl space, he revealed to the homeowners that there was also some sagging in the floor due to a main beam in the crawl space.

The homeowners decided to address both the musty smell emanating from the crawl space as well as the floor sagging. Zach proposed a CleanSpace® vapor barrier, as the homeowners originally anticipated, as well as a new crawl space vent cover for each vent lining the home. These vent covers would prevent moisture from entering the crawl space as well as pests and cold winter air. Another method of moisture management proposed was the SaniDry Sedona crawl space dehumidifier. Instead of being preventative like the vent covers, the dehumidifier actively fights any moisture, mold, and allergens that are in the crawl space. The homeowners agreed to all of these options and they were later installed by foreman Jon and his team. They were happy with the results and knowing their home would not be musty or moisture-damaged again in the future.
