Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

CleanSpace utilizes a unique liner that encapsulates a space, preventing moisture and other elements from getting in. With CleanSpace in place, the water that Robert once had to deal with no longer resided. Ayers Basement Systems inspected Roberts's home, decided what was needed, and swiftly installed the systems. Robert was thrilled with the result of the project!

Don & Cheryl, homeowners from Atlanta, MI were experiencing the effects of a cold damp crawlspace below their home. The couple began seeing the formation of mold and their concern began to grow rapidly. Don searched online for crawlspace repair experts and almost immediately found us. Don & Cheryl read many reviews and felt confident calling us to provide them with solutions for their crawlspace. One afternoon, our appointment center received a call from the couple. They informed us of their desire to transform their crawlspace into dry, energy efficient space.

Upon going to Don & Cheryl’s home and assessing their crawlspace needs, we prescribed our CleanSpace crawlspace encapsulation system. The CleanSpace encapsulation product is a 20mm thick durable plastic lining that fully seals off the crawlspace from the harsh elements it faces below. Plus, the CleanSpace is made with anti-microbial properties that prevent mold growth, so our new friends can be confident their mold problem has been permanently solved. To supplement the CleanSpace, we also installed the CleanSpace drainage mat to ensure maximum water drainage to the already existing sump pump. Don & Cheryl also elected for us to install the SaniDry Sedona, a high-performance dehumidifier and filtration system. In our new friends’ crawlspace, the Sedona will help prevent moisture and reduce musty odors. Thanks to this crawlspace encapsulation system, Don & Cheryl can rest assured knowing their crawlspace is a mold-free and dry environment.

This homeowner has begun to notice some moisture build-up in their crawlspace. Nothing major yet, but even the smallest amount of water can turn into big problems. In order to fix this issue and avoid further problems in the future, we needed to encapsulate this crawlspace.

Inside the Basement Systems encapsulation system is the CleanSpace liner. This is a plastic sheet that is designed to permanently keep away any moisture and air. It is placed completely over the walls and floor, creating a constant blockage to anything outside of it.

Another problem that is common with crawlspaces is cold air. If cold air gets into your crawlspace, it will obviously make the crawlspace cold. Due to the stack effect however, that cold air will travel throughout your entire home, causing you to use more heat. Luckily, our SilverGlo insulation on the block walls helps reflect heat back into the home, making floors warmer and heating cost lower.

Not only will this homeowner have a healthy crawlspace, but their entire home will be able to maintain a healthy environment.

Michigan winters can be brutal especially Up North. However, they’re inevitable so the best thing to do is to stay prepared. Homeowners Doug and Sandy were concerned about their crawlspace when they noticed the lack of insulation throughout the area. Having a well-insulated crawlspace ensures that your pipes do not freeze or burst during the cold months, ultimately protecting your structure from mold and rot. To help the Atlanta, Michigan couple, Systems Design Specialist Levi and his team installed our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier Liner. The thick, pool liner material acts as a barrier preventing water vapor and humidity from passing through. In combination with the CleanSpace Liner, the SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier can remove up to 100 pints of moisture per day and automatically drains to the WaterGuard system. 

Lastly the crew needed to tackle the old fiberglass insulation in the ceiling. We see this type of insulation in many homes and in most cases the material becomes a problem in the future. When fiberglass insulation becomes wet or damp it does not insulate as well as dry insulation. The weight from the moisture will pull it from the ceiling, leaving It messy and scattered across the perimeter. To combat the issue, we chose to insulate around Doug and Sandy’s pipes with our Froth-Pak Spray Insulation. The spray insulation is quick to install, made from inorganic and doesn’t absorb ambient moisture. 

Terry noticed she had a dirt floor crawl space under her home. She worried about pests or extra water inside her home, so she called Ayers for help. We sent a team of specialists to her house, and they decided to install the CleanSpace vapor barrier. CleanSpace is an antimicrobial material designed to last alongside the house, far longer than a store-bought tarp. The vapor barrier is uninterrupted, covers the walls and floors of the crawl space, and eliminates moisture, pests, and mold. Terry loves her new crawl space!
