Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Karen has dealt with cold feet for as long as she can remember but recently realized she also had cold floors. She researched online and called Ayers to learn more about our crawl space encapsulation options. Our team of experts dropped by her house to examine the issue and recommended installing the CleanSpace vapor barrier. CleanSpace is designed to reduce harmful ventilation and deter moisture entry in the crawl space. Ventilation carries organic material underneath the home through the crawl space, but CleanSpace entirely encapsulates the area with an antimicrobial-lined material. Karen can't believe the difference!

A new homeowner in Gaylord, MI, was unfamiliar with crawl spaces and wanted to ensure their recently purchased home stayed safe from potential moisture and structural issues.

With a small, dirt-floor crawl space covered by plastic, we installed CleanSpace vapor barrier, Rim Joist Insulation, and FoamMax Crawl Space Insulation to create an airtight, insulated environment. To address humidity and air quality, we added a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, giving the homeowner peace of mind and protecting their new home for years to come.

As part of an ongoing repair project for the crawl space in the before photo, the owner had called and asked us for an encapsulation. The water that was inside isn’t visible in the photo, but the damage it had done is. Once the crew had removed the hanging insulation and the rest of the debris in the crawl space, they installed the CleanSpace plastic liner in the after photo.

CleanSpace is a vapor barrier that is impenetrable by moisture and unlike the previous encapsulation, it can protect both the floor and walls of crawl spaces. As you can see when comparing the two photos, the CleanSapce barrier was pulled tight and sealed to the walls to eliminate any possible entry points for vapor. The tough plastic will last for years to come and so will its protection. 

One of our customers in Frankfort, Michigan contacted us referring to issue that he had with crawlspace. He wanted to insulate it and waterproof it from the outside environment. We gave him free estimate and then decided to install CleanSpace in their crawlspace. 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.  Now, this home is insulated and safer than ever before. Give us a call today to receive a free estimate today.

A falling crawl space is never a good thing. That's why this Elk Rapids customer gave us a call. After a free and professional inspection, we determined that the use of our patented SmartJack crawl space stabilizer was necessary to support this crawl space. SmartJack provides supplemental support to crawl spaces and can also often lift failing floor joists or beams, taking them back to their original position. No need to worry about this crawl space any longer!
