Before & After Photos

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.

Jonathon S. in Port Huron contacted HomeSpec to install a new access well for his crawl space.

There was only a makeshift wooden door on his old entrance, which allowed in pests, moisture, and debris. To fix this issue, foreman Jon Lont and his crew installed The Turtl™ entry system. This is immune to mold and pest damage, and locks securely to keep out unwanted pests and debris. The homeowner was very happy with the difference it made, too!

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 homeowner from Port Huron, MI, has owned their home for over 10 years. They plan for it to be their forever home but would like to address the existing problems. They contacted HomeSpec for help with their crawl space. They had been experiencing water leakage and sagging floors, which also created a musty smell they wanted to eliminate. HomeSpec, confident they could help, sent senior project manager Zach to inspect the home.

Zach performed a thorough evaluation, confirming both the water intrusion and sagging floors. He identified that the musty smell was coming from the crawl space due to the water leaks. Zach then created a repair plan and proposed it to the homeowners. He suggested starting by installing the SmartPipe™ Crawl Space Drainage System. This would collect unwanted water and direct it to the sump pump, eliminating standing water in the crawl space. Next, he recommended installing the SmartJack® Crawl Space Support System to provide durable support to the sagging floors. To finish the job, Zach proposed adding a clean, lasting finish with CleanSpace® Crawl Space Encapsulation. This would protect the crawl space while also helping to eliminate the musty odors. Once the homeowners agreed to the repair plan, a team from HomeSpec quickly got to work. When the job was complete, the homeowners were glad to have a clean, worry-free, and properly supported crawl space.

A homeowner in Pinckney, MI noticed a few vertical cracks in their foundation walls that had water seeping through. Before things could escalate, they began looking for help. They called HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair to conduct an inspection. The senior project manager, Keith, recommended repairs that would fill in the cracks where the water is leaking through and then seal the cracks themselves. The crew would use high pressure urethane injections for this type of repair. The homeowner was happy to hear of this option and decided HomeSpec was the company to take care of their home.
