Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Homeowners in Monroe, MI were due for new vent space cover as well as a crawl space encapsulation. This led them to reach out to us for a quick assessment and installation of the CleanSpace Systems. 

A homeowner in Newport, MI had not experienced any issues in their crawl space for over 20 years, until they noticed a musty odor beginning to permeate through the home. Confused as to what could be causing this they reached out to us for a solution. We recommended having their crawlspace encapsulated due to the water rising above level, this was most likely the cause of the musty odor that was spreading throughout the home. 

Many people neglect their crawl spaces, especially the crawl space door. But it's much more important than you think, especially if your crawl space is already encapsulated - it's supposed to prevent water, humidity, and even critters from infiltrating. The door should fit perfectly, and provide an airtight seal. 

The door on this Palmyra crawl space was wooden and damaged by water. Bricks were placed in front just to hold the door shut. After encapsulating, HomeSpec installed our EverLast™ Crawl Space Door to waterproof the entrance. It's made of high-quality, inorganic material so it won't attract mold or rot over time. 

This homeowner owns an old farmhouse with a fieldstone foundation in Maybee, Michigan. He noticed that the floors above the crawl space were sagging and bouncy, so he contacted HomeSpec.

When our specialist performed an inspection though, water and high-humidity were also discovered in the crawl space. To solve these issues, HomeSpec had to install a vapor barrier, dehumidifier and support posts. 

The SmartJack Support Posts were installed to raise and level the floors, and prevent them from sagging in the future. The crawl space was encapsulated with a CleanSpace Vapor Barrier to seal off the walls and floor from moisture. The dehumidifier was essential for maintaining a healthy 55% relative humidity - preventing condensation and mold growth. 

The homeowner was very happy with the results of his dry, healthy crawl space!

These homeowners contacted HomeSpec because their crawl space was very damp and needed to be waterproofed.

Our crew encapsulated the crawl space with our CleanSpace system by completely sealing it off from water and air leaks with a vapor barrier. This improves the air quality of the upstairs and will help the home use about 20% less energy.
