Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

This home in Fremont, MI had both a Michigan basement and a crawl space beneath it. The homeowners had noticed that the oak floors above the crawl space would sag the summer months, and they soon realized they had a problem.

Our System Design Specialist, Sean, visited the home to explain to the homeowners what might be causing this and how to prevent it. Often times, as moisture enters the crawl space, it causes the floor joists to rot, which makes the floors above sag. It’s crucial that moisture be kept out of the space to prevent this.

To support the sagging floors in the crawl space, we installed a SmartJack stabilizer. This zinc- coated beams was connected to the girder and tightened into place. SmartJacks help lift the floors above back to their original position.

In order to keep moisture out to prevent the rotting of the floor joists, it was necessary that we seal off the space from the earth. Using CleanSpace, an extremely durable crawl space liner, we did exactly this. The liner is even manufactured with an antimicrobial additive to prevent mold growth.

By giving this crawl space some attention by sealing it off and adding support for the floors, the homeowners can be sure that the floors above the space will be stable in the future. 

Tim knew there was water moisture in the crawl space beneath his home and needed to do something about it. He wasn't sure how to remedy the situation, so he called Ayers to learn about our waterproofing solutions. Our specialists visited his home to evaluate the situation and recommend a solution. They suggested installing CleanSpace, an antimicrobial-lined vapor barrier built to eliminate mold and moisture entry. CleanSpace is durable and ready to be stepped/walked on without compromising. Tim loves the new look of his crawl space!

This home was at risk of a mold infestation and the homeowner was actively losing money on her energy bills because of the existing air leaks. Installing CleanSpace technology safeguarded the home's inhabitatants from breathing moldy fiber glass insulation and ensured the owner with an energy efficient crawl space. This new, safe, crawl space provides her with a healthier and more comfortable lifestyle. 

Jonathan and Katie had heavy water intrusion and mold in their crawl space. So our team installed CleanSpace, an uninterrupted vapor barrier that is applied to the walls and floor of your crawl space. It restricts all moisture, outside air, and pests from entering your crawl space. This system creates an energy-efficient crawl space, and it also gives your crawl space a clean finish. 

Our team insulated Katie and Jonathan’s rim joists because they were dealing with water intrusion and mold growth in their crawl space. Small cracks and seams can exist around rim joists, but after insulating them all of those cracks are sealed off. Now flow is restricted keeping moisture and unwanted allergens out.
