Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Jackson, MI contacted us inquiring about services we could offer her to help her save money on her energy bills each month. After visiting the home, we identified several areas that could be improved, including the crawl space. Often times the floors above a crawl space will be cold if the crawl space isn’t properly insulated. We added TerraBlock insulation to the floors and SilverGlo to the walls to reflect heat back into the space, making it warmer. The last step was to add the CleanSpace liner to block water vapor and lower humidity in the space. By fixing up her crawl space, this homeowner is sure to save on her energy bills.

Crawl spaces can be a horrible sight and have a horrible effect on your home. If crawl spaces are open to the earth, moisture is guaranteed to enter into your home from the floor up; the same thing happens with cold air. To stop this from happening in their home, a family in Jackson, MI gave us a call. We were able to transform their dirty, damp crawl space into a crisp, clean area by using our patented CleanSpace encapsulation system. CleanSpace sealed off their crawl space completely from the earth, preventing any moisture or cold air from entering. Along with that, the antimicrobial property built into the material of CleanSpace counteracts mold growth. Say hello to a happier crawl space with CleanSpace!

A customer in Jackson approached us with a wet crawl space that needed help before it would be invaded by mold. Luckily, we had just the fix to keep this homeowner's basement dry from the outside enviornment. We installed our moisture fighting CleanSpace system. CleanSpace is a 20 mil thick plastic liner that fits to the crawl space to completely seal the home from the earth. Polyester cord reinforcement allows for a lot of durability, to make it last longer than the home will. This liner also contains an antimicrobial additive to prevent mold. This liner should also be combined with CleanSpace vent covers to insulate and seal the air out.

Our customer Greg, from Jackson, MI had standing water in his crawlspace. Greg also admitted that he was worried about the sagging support beam below his home. He saw an Ayers Basement Systems truck on the highway and wrote down our phone number. He was hoping we were the local experts that could end all of his crawlspace struggles. Greg gave us a call one morning.

After assessing Greg’s crawlspace needs, we installed our patented CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system to address the current moisture issues being faced below his home. The CleanSpace encapsulation product is a thick plastic lining that completely seals off the crawl space from the ornery elements it faces below. The CleanSpace drainage matting we installed will allow the water to easily flow to the Super Sump. The Super Sump is a budget conscious sump pump system that contains an air tight lid, floor drain, pump stand, and a pump alarm. These are the essential features needed to help keep a basement dry.

We also determined that Greg’s foundation needed additional support. To supplement the CleanSpace and support his home we installed three Smart Jacks. The Smart Jack is a supplemental support system for crawl space applications. The Smart Jack effectively supports sagging beams and floor joists caused by, a length of span greater than spanning capability, floor load increased after construction, exceeding design values, and weakening over time due to high moisture and rot. With this completed system in place, it became evident that Greg’s cranky crawlspace was no match for our level of expertise.

Lisa noticed water leaking into her crawl space through cracks in the floor and so she called Ayers for professional help. Our Ayers System Design Specialists determined that installing CleanSpace, SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier, along with our TripleSafe Sump Pump System would be a great solution.

CleanSpace is made of a thick plastic liner that will run along the crawl space. Its vapor barrier property protects against excess moisture. This excess moisture could lead to the growth of bacteria or mold. The SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier is installed to remove water in the air. The now dry air will circulate throughout the crawl space. Lastly we installed TripleSafe which has three pumps that all fit in one liner. The first pump does most of the work with keeping water out, the second is there for backup, and the third pump will turn on in power outages.

Lisa was relieved to have these water leaks taken care of!
