Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Fenton, MI was interested in adding an addition to the house they inherited but realized they needed to address some problems first. The most worrisome was the settling foundation. They reached out to HomeSpec Waterproofing & Foundation Repair for a free estimate and to get an educated opinion about what they were facing.

HomeSpec’s inspector, Erik, evaluated the home both inside and outside. He concluded the company could install a SmartJack® system in their crawl space to lift and support the beams of the home, more so than the support that was already in place. While at the house, he also recommended encapsulating the crawl space, an exterior discharge line, downspout extension, HVAC, and rerouting the plumbing. The homeowner appreciated the attention to detail and agreed to all of the repairs. HomeSpec’s Jon, the foreman, and plumber, Rick, led the team in completing the repairs and walking through each step with the homeowner. Satisfied with the work, the homeowner left a glowing review on HomeSpec’s website.

The crawl space below this business in Richmond, Michigan was experiencing water issues, so the owners called HomeSpec. Water was leaking in at multiple walls and pooling on the floor. A musty smell could sometimes be caught in the store above. 

To combat this issue, our crawl space experts decided a full waterproofing and encapsulation system would be best. In order to waterproof, a sump pump, dehumidifier, and perimeter drainage system was needed. Then the area was encapsulated with a vapor barrier. Now the store owners are so excited to have extra space for their business and not have to worry about their goods getting water damaged! 

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!

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!
