Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Patricia was surprised to see moisture sticking to the walls and ceilings of her basement. She wasn't sure where it came from or how to fix it, so she turned to Ayers. We sent a team of specialists to her house who determined the CleanSpace vapor barrier was the best option. CleanSpace is applied uninterruptedly to create a barrier on the walls and floors of the basement or crawl space and is antimicrobial-lined to eliminate mold growth and deter critters. Patricia was excited to have a clean and shiny basement!

Angie noticed her crawl space floor was just rocky dirt and knew this wasn't good. She called Ayers and we sent a team of specialists to inspect the crawl space. They decided it was best to install CleanSpace and the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. CleanSpace has an antimicrobial liner and is applied as an uninterrupted barrier to prevent mold growth and is durable to withstand wear and tear. The SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier is designed to remove humidity in the air of the crawl space. Moisture is now a thing of the past in Angie's crawl space!

The before photo shows where the leaking water had damaged, discolored, and allowed mold growth on this crawl space’s walls. Making things even worse, the leaking water had also caused musty smells to the crawl space. In the after photo, you can see the solution we provided. CleanSpace is a plastic vapor barrier that was used to cover the dirt floor crawl space. Together with the SilverGlo Wall Insulation and Froth Pak foam that are covering the walls in the after photo, water will be kept out from this crawl space permanently. 

Many homeowners avoid their crawl space as much as possible, but this may lead to an undetected plumbing leak that could cause major flooding. Upon arrival of this home we found some signs of prior leakage which is why we opted to install this system. If any water gets into the space, it will be directed to the drain and forced to seep into the soil below. If there ever was a leak, the SmartDrain is installed with an alarm system to alert the homeowner of the problem. 

To keep any other small amounts of moisture out of the space, CleanSpace was wrapped around the piers, floors, and walls acting as a strong vapor barrier. This white liner is mold resistant and extremely durable, sure to keep the crawl space dry once and for all. 

It's common for a crawl space to collect dirt and debris over time but leaving a crawl space unattended could lead to damage in the future. Many homeowners look for a product they don't have to check on or replace which why we recommended CleanSpace for this crawl space in Harbor Springs, MI. CleanSpace lines an entire area with its durable, mold resistant material and acts as a vapor barrier to keep moisture and dirt out of the crawl space.
