What we do§ 01
Three services. One mission: keep water and weight where they belong.
Every system we install is engineered for southern Ohio's clay-heavy soils, freeze-thaw cycles, and hundred-year-old foundations.
§ 01
Service · 01
Crawlspace Encapsulation
We install reinforced 12–20 mil vapor barriers across the floor and walls, seal every seam and penetration, and pair the system with a high-capacity dehumidifier so your crawlspace becomes a clean, dry, conditioned space. The result: warmer floors, lower energy bills, healthier indoor air, and a foundation that no longer feeds rot.
- 20-mil reinforced vapor barrier (puncture-resistant)
- Sealed seams, walls, and pier columns
- Commercial dehumidifier with built-in pump
- Insulated and air-sealed access door
- 25-year transferable warranty

Basement & Crawlspace Waterproofing
Whether you have seasonal seepage or a basement that floods every spring, we engineer a complete water-management system: interior perimeter drainage routed to a heavy-duty sump pump with battery backup, dimple-board wall membranes to channel hydrostatic pressure, and exterior grading where it matters. Wet basements become finished-ready dry space.
- Interior perimeter drain tile (sub-floor)
- Cast-iron sump pump with battery backup
- Dimple-board wall membrane
- Exterior grading & downspout extensions
- Lifetime workmanship guarantee on drainage

Crawlspace & Foundation Repair
Sagging floors, sticking doors, and stair-step cracks aren't cosmetic — they're a foundation telling you something. We diagnose the underlying movement (rotting joists, failed piers, hydrostatic pressure, settling soils) and apply the right repair: steel-beam wall reinforcement, adjustable smart-jack supports, sister joists, epoxy crack injection, and full re-piering when needed.
- Steel I-beam wall stabilization
- Adjustable smart-jack support columns
- Joist & beam sistering / replacement
- Epoxy & polyurethane crack injection
- Detailed pre-work structural assessment
Diagnostics§ 03
Six signs your foundation
needs a closer look.
If any of these match what you've been seeing in your home, it's not "just an old house." These are the early warnings of a problem that gets more expensive with every season. A free inspection now costs you nothing and can save you tens of thousands later.
Schedule My Free InspectionStanding water or damp spots
Puddles after rain, water stains on basement walls, or a wet crawlspace floor.
Musty smell or high humidity
That distinct basement odor seeping into living spaces means moisture is moving up.
Cold floors in winter
Uninsulated, vented crawlspaces let cold air pour into your living space year-round.
Pest activity & rotting wood
Termites, carpenter ants, and rodents thrive in damp crawlspaces with exposed wood.
Sagging or bouncy floors
Flexing floors usually mean joists, beams, or piers have been compromised by moisture.
Cracks in foundation walls
Vertical, horizontal, or stair-step cracks signal pressure that needs structural attention.

What homeowners say§ 05
A 5-star reputation, earned one crawlspace at a time.
9 verified reviews from homeowners across our service area. We answer the phone, we show up on time, and we stand behind the work.
“Fabian and his team were absolutely incredible from start to finish. They showed up exactly when they said they would, walked me through every step, and left my crawlspace cleaner than my house. The difference in how my floors feel — and how the house smells — is night and day. Worth every dollar.”

Basement Waterproofing
After two failed attempts by other companies, Speakman Home Solutions actually fixed our basement. Fabian explained the water path clearly, installed a perimeter drain and a backup sump pump, and we've had two heavy rain events since with a bone-dry basement. Honest, hardworking, and fairly priced.

Crawlspace Repair
We had bouncy floors and high humidity in the crawlspace. Fabian sistered the joists, added smart-jack supports, and encapsulated the entire space. The floors are rock solid now and our energy bill is noticeably lower. Professional, on-time, and kept us informed every day.

Sump Pump & Drainage
Our basement flooded twice in one spring. Fabian came out the day I called, gave me a fair quote on the spot, and had the new system installed within the week. Battery backup gives us real peace of mind. Top-notch crew.

I got three quotes — Speakman wasn't the cheapest but the quality of materials and the warranty were significantly better. Six months in and I can already feel a difference walking on the floors in the morning. Highly recommend.

Had a bowing block wall I'd been worried about for years. Fabian's team installed steel beams and sealed two cracks with epoxy. Clean, quiet, and finished in two days. They actually answered the phone every time I called — rare in this business.

Veteran-owned and it shows — discipline, attention to detail, and respect for the customer. They protected every walkway with drop cloths and you'd never know construction had happened in the house. The basement is dry for the first time since we bought the house in 2009.

Fabian is one of the most honest contractors I've ever hired. He pointed out things I could do myself to save money and only charged for what actually needed professional work. The encapsulation looks like a brand-new room down there.

Diane S.
Speakman Home Solutions did exactly what they said for exactly the price they quoted. No surprises, no upsells. The exterior grading and new downspout extensions stopped the water before it ever reaches the foundation. Couldn't be happier.
