Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Wet Crawl Space Ruins Homeowner's Plan in Macomb, MI
A homeowner in Macomb, MI was concerned about their crawl space. They had sealed the access for the winter and run a dehumidifier during the warmer seasons but that was not enough to keep the moisture at bay. While preparing to sell the house, an offer was rescinded after a home inspector found mold and moisture in the crawl space. The homeowner wanted to fix these issues immediately so they could sell the home as planned. They called HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for a free estimate of these repairs.
A senior project manager, Zach, proposed a repair plan. First, the HomeSpec crew would need to prevent mold growth by using Mold-X2 and then the real repairs could begin. He suggested controlling the water by using SmartPipe™ perimeter drainage pipe and encapsulating the crawl space with CleanSpace®. The homeowner was eager to get the project started and agreed to this plan. The team that led the repairs was led by foreman Jon. The homeowner was happy with the HomeSpec crew’s work and happy to know they could sell the home now that the issue had been resolved.
