Evart is a small city of about 1,750 people on the Muskegon River in Osceola County, with older homes downtown and lake and country homes around it. Homes near the river and lakes often have damp crawlspaces that make floors cold and rooms musty. Energy Plus Home Improvements has served Mid-Michigan since 1971 from Riverdale, about 41 miles southeast of Evart. We encapsulate crawlspaces, spray foam walls and rim joists and insulate attics. Every installation is backed by the EP Protection Plan™.

Quality You Can Trust
Lake and river homes sit on damper ground, and an open crawlspace pulls that moisture into the house. We clean and level the space, lay a sealed White Cap liner from Nash Distribution’s crawl space line, in 12-mil or heavier 20-mil, and spray closed-cell foam on the walls so the space stays dry and the floors above stay warmer.
Once the crawlspace is sealed, the attic is the next place to look. The U.S. Department of Energy recommends R-49 to R-60 for Michigan attics, and air sealing the attic floor keeps warm, moist air from escaping and causing ice dams.
We also install EP CrawlGuard™ crawlspace encapsulation, EP FoamCore™ spray foam and EP RetroCore™ wall insulation. Final pricing is confirmed after we inspect the home.
Inside the city, start with the City of Evart; homes in surrounding Osceola County townships follow the township or county process. We confirm the requirement for your address and pull the permit when one is needed.
Local Expertise
Evart was named for Civil War veteran Perry “Frank” Everts in 1870, though the spelling changed. It was platted in 1872, became a village that year and a city in 1938. The city sits on the Muskegon River and US-10, and its Downtown Historic District was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2025, Osceola County’s only listing.
Homes range from older houses downtown to river, lake and country homes. Each estimate states what we found, what we recommend, and anything we cannot confirm until we are in the crawlspace or attic.

Our 2026 South Lake Drive project covers a 1,076-square-foot crawlspace: cleaning and leveling the space, installing White Cap liner and spraying about 268 square feet of closed-cell foam on the walls. Every job ends with a final inspection and full cleanup.

Answers to the questions we hear most often about insulation projects.
Debris and uneven ground can puncture the liner and leave low spots where water collects. Cleaning and leveling first helps the liner last and seal properly.
Some crawlspaces do, especially near water. We check moisture levels and recommend one only when the space needs it.
Usually, yes. Sealing out damp, cold air and insulating the crawlspace walls warms the space under the floor.
Start with whichever has the bigger problem. In damp river and lake homes, that is often the crawlspace; the attic is usually next.
It depends on the scope and where the home is. Check with the City of Evart or your township; we confirm the requirement and pull the permit when one is needed.
