Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Peter called us because he had a moisture problem in his crawl space. The crawl space was uneven so it caused about half of it to have standing water. We had just the solution to help him close off the space and keep it dry. First we laid down Drainage Matting which has dimples in it to allow to the flow of water to the sump pump to be expelled out of the area. Then we installed the CleanSpace Crawl Space Vapor Barrier which is is a very thick liner similar to that of a pool liner. It prevents humidity and water vapor from passing through into the space to keep it dry. As an added bonus the liner has an additive which is mold resistant and the plastic vapor barrier deters pests. Lastly, we installed the SaniDry Sedona, a high-performance dehumidifier and filtration system. It has a small size perfect for a crawl space, eliminates musty odors, and helps keeps the humidity out.

Mike and Dee wanted to seal out any moisture that was potentially intruding in their home. Moist air can lead to many more serious problems such as compromising the foundation and contributing to allergens and things that decrease the air quality of the home. To help with this, our team came out and installed CleanSpace, pictured here, and the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. The SaniDry Sedona is more powerful than any other dehumidifier and drains automatically so you don't have to worry about emptying the water yourself. It will control the humidity and make sure to stop mold growth, kill dust mites, and make your whole home healthier. Clean space is an uninterrupted vapor barrier designed to keep out any unwanted pests, moisture, and mold. This barrier restricts airflow and therefore makes controlling the temperature of the home much easier. CleanSpace is applied to the floors and walls and wrapped around pillars and piers carefully to ensure that the space looks clean and refreshed. Now there are no worries of any moisture in the space or in the air. Mike and Dee are protected from any and all intrusions.

These Beaverton, MI customers called because they were interested in crawl space insulation and an encapsulation. As you can see in the before photo, they already had a system in place, but sadly, it wasn’t getting the job done. Many use plastic tarps like these to encapsulate their crawl spaces. The problem is they’re not guaranteed to keep water out, at least, not like our CleanSpace system. CleanSpace is a vapor barrier that is impenetrable by moisture.

Seen in the after photo, the liner covers the entire dirt floor, one of the most common places for moisture to enter crawl spaces. To give the customers the insulation they were looking for, the crew also installed the silver wall panels in the after photo. These panels are referred to as our SilverGlo Wall Insulation. The silver surface reflects heat back to its source, just like the radiant barriers placed behind car windshields. With these two systems in place, this crawl space is now protected from moisture and abnormal temperatures. 

Dirt crawl spaces are a pain to deal with. They let in outside elements such as water, cold air and bugs - all things no one wants in their home. The first step to eliminating these problems is fixing the water leakage by having a sump pump installed. The next step is isolating the house from the earth. This is where our CleanSpace system that is shown in the picture, works great. It encapulates the entire crawl space making sure no water, bugs, or unwanted cold/hot air can get in. The third step is to make sure all windows and vents are properly sealed off to the outside as well. Lastly, you want to condition or dehumidify the crawl space air. We have a great unit for this called the SaniDry Sedona, also pictured. It's efficient at stopping mold growth and getting rid of that musty smell. 

In Clare, MI, a homeowner was experiencing excessive humidity in their crawl space, which caused moisture to collect on their HVAC equipment. Ayers resolved the issue by installing a CleanSpace vapor barrier to seal out moisture and a SmartSump to manage water intrusion effectively. Now, the crawl space is dry and humidity-free, protecting the home's systems and improving overall air quality.
