Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Water was entering Maria's crawl space and no matter what she did it wouldn't stay out. So she finally called our team and we installed CleanSpace. CleanSpace is 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.

Just a few years after purchasing their current home, David & Stephanie from Holland, MI began experiencing troubles with water in their crawlspace. They knew this would eventually lead to rotting of the wooden beams under their home. Seeking a proactive approach, this couple began searching for experts to consult. David & Stephanie saw an Ayers Basement Systems truck in their local community and knew as local experts we could likely provide them with the effective solutions they needed for their crawlspace. One morning early this winter our call center received a call from our new friends.

After going to David & Stephanie’s home and diagnosing their crawlspace needs, we prescribed our patented CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system to address the current water issues being faced below their home. The CleanSpace encapsulation product is a 20mm thick plastic lining that completely seals off the crawlspace from the grim elements it faces below. After having their crawlspace encapsulated, David & Stephanie can now view their crawlspace as clean, dry and useful space.

The homeowners called us becuase they had critters and water coming into the crawl space. They also wanted the home to be warmer and felt he cold came from the crawl space. They called us wanting a solution to their problems. 

We put Drainage Matting on the floor to allow for the movement of water under the liner and so that water can be directed towards the sump pump to be drained. Next we installed the CleanSpace Liner which is a thick durable white liner. This liner prevents critters, humidity, and water vapor from passing through. The CleanSpace Liner keeps your crawl space dry which protects your structure and insulation from mold and rot. By sealing your crawl space, you keep the summer heat out of your home and the winter cold away from your furnace, water heater, and other utilities.

A homeowner in Holland, MI, built his family home in 1983 but could never fully complete the crawl space due to restrictions from the DNR. Over the years, the unsealed space allowed moisture and critters to enter, leading to cold floors and damage. The homeowner tried insulating the floors, but the material absorbed moisture, sagged, and trapped cold air beneath the house.

The Ayers team removed the old insulation, installed insulation panels along the crawl space walls, and sealed the area with CleanSpace to keep moisture out. Drainage matting and CleanSpace were applied to the floor, ensuring the crawl space remained dry and insulated.

Now, the home is protected from moisture, providing a warmer, more efficient living space.

Homeowner Kathy was worried about the water intrusion in the crawl space of her home in Greenville, MI. The discharge from her sump pump was too short, causing water to back up into her home when the pump was in operation. To address these concerns, Kathy decided to work with Ayers to ensure her crawl space was protected for the long term. They installed CleanSpace, a vapor barrier that effectively encapsulates the crawl space, keeping moisture and water out. This system also directs any excess water to a newly extended sump pump discharge line, preventing water from cycling back into her home. Now, Kathy can rest easy knowing her crawl space is secure.
