CleanSpace & Thermal Insulation Refresh Damp Leroy, MI Crawl Space

This clean space was musty and had become a home for mice. The owners of the lake cottage wanted that fixed. The answer for them was our CleanSpace encapsulation system which helps create a moisture barrier to keep any water seepage and harmful water vapors separate from the home above. The CleanSpace system is durable and resistant to tearing as well as being mold and mildew resistant. 

These homeowners scored some additional energy savings as well while we were at it by adding SilverGlo insulation to the walls and SilverGlo insulation to the floors which help to reflect heat back into the home and create an additional vapor barrier. The results are astounding. 

Encapsulating 1880s Leroy, MI Crawlspace to Stop Musty Smells

Jesse and Monica could smell horrible musty smells inside their house during the summertime. They called Ayers for an inspection and we found that the smell was coming from the home's crawlspace. Our crew determined that CleanSpace would be the perfect solution. CleanSpace is a moisture barrier that uses a thick plastic liner along crawlspace walls to keep them dry and last decades longer. It also has antibacterial properties that prevent mold and bacteria growth. Jesse and Monica can now enjoy the beautiful Michigan summers properly, with no more musty, moldy smells. 

CleanSpace System Saves a Sale in Prudenville, MI

After inheriting this Prudenville, MI property was from his father, the new owner decided it was time to say goodbye to the place and put the home up for sale. He was then blindsided during the sale process when he found out that the home was suffering from a terrible case of moldy crawl space syndrome (not a real diagnosis, but you get the point). The inspector informed the new owner that if he wanted to have any chance of selling the home, he would need to eradicate the mold and encapsulate the crawl space to prevent it from happening again.

Because the house was located next to a lake, moisture was very common and the crawl space would need a full system to make sure mold didn’t return. Beneath the CleanSpace vapor barrier seen in the after photo, is a drainage matting. The drainage matting is designed to keep water from puddling up and force the flow of water towards a newly installed Smart drain for discharge. Not pictured from the installation, but also designed to put a stop to mold were the SaniDry crawl space dehumidifier and vent covers. The CleanSpace barrier will prevent moisture from coming through walls and the floor, and the air tight vent covers will stop moisture and humidity from entering through the wide vent entrances. With all of these products working together, this home will be protected from mold growth for years to come.

Upgrading to a CleanSpace System in Prudenville, MI

The barrier in the before photo was installed 15 years ago, and so far, it had kept the crawl space in pretty good shape. The only problem was that the barrier had started to accumulate some mold and condensation issues. As the owners prepared to winterize their summer home once again, they called us to look for an encapsulation that would better stand up to those moisture issues. The new barrier in the after photo is the CleanSpace system. Because of its inorganic material, the barrier won’t be able to grow mold like the previous system. The liner is also an extremely strong vapor barrier that, as you can see in the after photo, covers the floor and walls of the crawl space. 

SmartJacks Add Stability to a Home in Prudenville, MI

Harry P. slowly felt his home beginning to sink. Wanting to address the problem before it had the chance to get any worse, he gave us a call. Upon assessing Harry’s support system, we found the current distance between his homes supports to be too large. Our team members recommended the installation of six Smart Jacks between the current supports. The Smart Jack is a supplemental support system for crawl space applications. The Smart Jack effectively supports sagging beams and floor joists caused by, a length of span greater than spanning capability, floor load increased after construction, exceeding design values, and weakening over time due to high moisture and rot. We are so thankful for the opportunity to provide a permanent solution to the problem our new friend in Prudenville, MI faced. With this support solution in place, Harry’s foundation is the strongest its ever been.
