Roughly 60% of Dearborn Heights ranches have unsealed crawl spaces with vented foundation walls — the 1960s standard. Modern building science has reversed that: sealed and conditioned crawl spaces are now code-preferred. Encapsulation cuts HVAC bills, eliminates musty smells upstairs, and stops wood rot.

If you can see daylight in the joint or feel cold air, you have differential settlement. Helical piers under the addition usually solve it. Get inspected before drywall cracks become structural cracks.
Most Dearborn Heights crawls run $3,500–$7,500 depending on square footage, dehumidifier needs, and structural support requirements. We'll measure on the free inspection and give a written number.
