Stress-Free Structural Repair and Concrete Repair in Grand Blanc, MI

A homeowner in Grand Blanc, MI was beginning to feel uncomfortable with the cold floors present throughout the house; more specifically, they wanted to renovate one of the rooms and turn it into a bedroom. Tired of dealing with uneven cold floors, and ready to address the issue once and for all, the homeowner began to research the most likely causes of the issues. Learning more about their crawl space's affects on their home, they began to search for crawl space insulation services nearby. This led them to choose HomeSpec BasementFix as the appropriate contractor for this job.

Erik, who specializes in crawl space insulation, was sent to Grand Blanc to discuss the homeowners concerns in more detail, as well as provide a free inspection. Erik explained to the homeowner that cold floors are usually due to insufficient or failing insulation and that sagging floors are often attributed to failing support posts. When traditional wooden crawl space support posts can no longer support the weight of the home, they begin to sink into the soil below, or rot, due to the lack of insulation from the humidity. The solution to this homeowner's cold, sagging floors was to use our CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system to seal off and encapsulate the space and then insulate the crawl space with SilverGlo insulation, as well as install the SmartJack Support System to raise the floors back to level.

The first step in this crawl space repair was to encapsulate the crawl space to prevent moisture from collecting and retain the heat in order to keep the floors at a comfortable temperature to walk on. CleanSpace solves this by using a patented multi-layer polyethylene material to ensure durability and flexibility in encapsulating the crawl space. When moisture accumulates in the crawl space, it creates a breeding ground for mold and bacteria which can damage the supports. Cleanspace, combined with the corrosion-resistant SmartJack Support System prevents this from occurring. SilverGlo is a special insulation material many times more reliable and effective than traditional fiberglass with its radiant barrier, installed by our crew. The adjustable SmartJack Support System is a reliable solution to bring the floors in the living space back to level with its ability to support loads of more than 60,000 lbs. and adjust to meet the needs of the home year round.

With the crawl space encapsulated, insulated and the floors raised back to level, the homeowner was glad to have a solution from HomeSpec BasementFix that allowed them to never have to worry about uneven or cold floors again.

This homeowner contacted HomeSpec to have his walkway slabs leveled. They were sinking and uneven, and people would always trip over them when walking to the porch. 

Our crew solved this problem by using our PolyLevel system. We injected our expanding polyurethane foam under the sinking slabs, which then raised and leveled them. Then we sealed the joints. The process is non-invasive and the foam is environmentally safe too!
