Edward called our team to discuss encapsulation options for his crawl space. We installed CleanSpace, a plastic sheet material used as a vapor barrier to restrict all moisture, outside air, and pests from entering your crawl space. Not only does this system create an energy-efficient crawl space, but it also gives your crawl space a clean finish. This material will be applied to your floors and walls to create a sleek look and an uninterrupted barrier.
A customer called our team because she had water entering her crawl space. So we installed SilverGlo, a set of waterproof foam panels used on the walls of your crawl space in order to insulate it. Uninsulated crawl spaces cost you money each year by increasing your heating and cooling bills. SilverGlo blocks all moisture and is made of inorganic material which prevents mold, rot or mildew from forming. Overall, it will keep your crawl space dry and insulated which will save you lots of money over the years.
The basement in this Burlington, MI basement had a couple of beams that were sagging pretty significantly. They needed some strong supports to help straighten them. Our crew installed a series of SmartJacks. To install these jacks, we remove a small amount of concrete and a cube of earth underneath. That gets filled in with compacted stone, the footing gets set on top of that, and the concrete is replaced. This creates a situation in which the weight that the jack is supporting is transferred deep into the ground past troubled soils. The jacks are adjustable and not only support an incredible amount of weight, but they come with an opportunity to lift the floors and walls above to their original position. These jacks significantly straightened the sagging beams.
John is a pastor at a church in Utica, Michigan, who had concerns about the support beams in the basement, so he called Ayers for an inspection. Our crew determined we should install CleanSpace to tidy things up and offer protection in this space and SmartJacks for better support. CleanSpace is a thick plastic liner made with waterproof material. The vapor barrier it holds will prevent the buildup of moisture. Excess moisture allows mold and bacteria to thrive. Next, we installed SmartJacks to replace the weak support beams. We installed this repair system by attaching steel support beams to the floor joists and a sturdy base in the subfloor. Once installed, the posts are adjusted to raise the floors to a position that is level. John is ecstatic about the changes that make this church a safer place!
Looking to totally seal his crawl space, Kyle called our team. So in order to prevent air flow from his crawl space to the rest of his home, our team insulated his rim joists. Small cracks and seams can exist around rim joists, but after insulating them all of those cracks are sealed off. With airtight insulation there is a reduction in heat loss.
