Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

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! 

A homeowner in Fort Gratiot, MI was struggling with moisture in the crawl space of their house, built in 1940. They moved into the home in 2022 and learned that the previous owner had a leak that ran into the crawl space. This had gone unattended and developed into a lingering, musty scent throughout the house. It was annoying to deal with and was affecting the dog’s breathing. Not to mention, the floors were extra cold this past winter. The homeowner decided enough was enough and it was time to get the crawl space fixed up. They called HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair to discuss options during a free inspection.

One of HomeSpec’s senior project managers, Zach, took a walk-through, or crawl-through of the space and returned to the homeowner to talk. He explained that the best way to keep the home warm, save energy, and prevent moisture would be to insulate using SilverGlo™ and encapsulate with CleanSpace®. The homeowner liked these options and decided to let HomeSpec install the products that would resolve their issue. The crew that led this project was led by foreman Jon. After cleaning up once the job was complete, they left the house in better condition and with a happier homeowner.

This Family in New Lothrop, MI had been experiencing musty odors and mold growth in their crawl space, this led them to reach out to us for installation. When we arrived, we noticed the amount of debris was obstructing us from applying the CleanSpace Encapsulation System, so the first step was to remove all the debris and then install the system for this family. After the installation, they were relieved to breathe fresh air and not have to worry about the odors or any mold growth affecting their crawl space. 

These homeowners wanted to have their crawl space encapsulated in order to restore their peace of mind. The odors and the debris were beginning to really affect their quality of life and this is what led them to reach out to us in order to install the CleanSpace Crawl Space Encapsulation System.
