Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Cheri had water entering through her basement walls. She couldn't keep the water out so we installed the CleanSpace Basement Finishing Wall System to prevent more water intrusion. This system utilizes a poly sheet material to completely cover basement foundation walls and act as a vapor and moisture barrier. The material is waterproof, stain resistant and can be applied over many different types of surfaces. This system was perfect for Cheri and put a stop to all water intrusion into his basement immediately. 

Crawl Spaces can be an unpleasant view sometimes. We received a call from Elmira, MI in regards to cleaning up a crawl space and to insulate / vapor barrier it. The homeowners also wanted to warm up the floors above the crawl space in the winters as well. They called the right people for Crawl Space Encapsulation. We take pride in providing a clean, dry, and energy-efficient Crawl Space. The durable, bright white crawl space liner installed on the walls and floors make this Crawl Space clean, dry, energy-efficient and a pleasant view to look at. 

Richard D., a homeowner in Elmira, MI began worrying about his wet and moldy crawlspace. He began searching online for crawlspace repair experts, but then his friend told him about Ayers and his search quickly ended. One afternoon, our appointment center received a call from Richard. He wanted to know how we could transform his crawlspace into dry, energy efficient space.

Upon sending a System Design Specialist to Richard’s home, we probed his crawlspace needs and prescribed our CleanSpace crawlspace encapsulation system. The CleanSpace encapsulation product is a 20mm thick durable plastic lining thatfully 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 Richard can be certain his mold problem has been permanently solved. To supplement the CleanSpace, we used spray foam insulation to ensure maximum energy efficiency and comfort in his home. Thanks to this crawlspace encapsulation system, our new friend Richard can rest assured knowing their crawlspace is a mold-free and dry environment.

Mike was in need of encapsulation for his crawl space that would not only waterproof it but also prevent musty smells from coming from this space. After calling Ayers we had a team take a look to decipher the best course of action. Their recommendations to him were to have us install CleanSpace as this is a thick, durable and waterproof liner meant to cover the crawl space floor. The vapor barrier property it holds will prevent moisture that leads to the development of bacteria or mold. This will keep his crawl space clean and prevent gross smells!

The crawl space in the before picture had taken a lot of abuse after a few chipmunks found a way inside and made themselves at home. Not only had the previous encapsulation been ripped apart, but most of the insulation wasn’t in working condition either. Naturally, the owners wanted a few repairs. They called us and requested for all of the previous insulation to be torn out and redone. Except, this time, they wanted a system that would last.

The after photo shows our CleanSpace vapor barrier. The liner is strong enough to endure regular maintenance checks  without ripping. As you can see the liner covers both the walls and floor of the crawl space, but what isn’t visible in the after photo is the Terrablock insulation foam resting on the floor. With CleanSpace on top of the foam, the insulation won’t suffer the same type of damage that happened before. In fact, this entire crawl space will be able to endure more than ever before.
