Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

We answered a call from Margaret, a customer concerned about her debris-filled, weakly supported crawl space. Our crew inspected the area and suggested CleanSpace along with SmartJacks. CleanSpace is a waterproof liner with a vapor barrier that covers the crawl space floor and walls. We lay the heavy-duty liner here to protect the home from damp soil. Next, our crew installed SmartJacks to address the weak wooden support beams. The steel jacks effectively support sagging beams and can support loads of more than 60,000 pounds. We attached the support columns to a steel supplemental beam above and rested them on a sturdy base within the ground. Margaret's crawl space is practically unrecognizable with the clean, permanent solutions provided!

A customer from Afton Michigan gave us a call referring to her crawlspace that was wet and smelly. We drove to her house to take a look for ourselves and figured out the best solution to waterproof this crawlspace would be to use our CleanSpace technology.  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. With CleanSpace, this Afton homeowner will no longer need to worry about her crawlspace.

Moisture was prevalent in the windows and on the walls in this Rogers City, MI basement. Left untreated, this moisture can often cause mold to grow, making the basement hazardous to the homeowner’s health. Luckily Dawn contacted Ayers, and we had a solution. Our system design specialist recommended CleanSpace be installed on the walls in the basement. This liner multi-layered liner is fixed to the walls, and is nearly impossible to rip. This provides a vapor barrier, allowing water to drain behind the liner to the sump pump. Its bright white color dramatically improves the look of the basement, and helps keep the basement dry!

Our client Robert M. from Rogers City, MI was experiencing water seepage that caused a wet crawl space below the porch of one of his rental homes. Concerned about the well-being of the tenants and his home, our new friend gave us a call. In visiting Robert’s rental property, our System Design Specialist devised a solution consisting of our highly efficient CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system. The CleanSpace product is a cutting edge thick durable lining that fully seals off the crawl space from the grueling elements below. Next, we incorporated SilverGlo wall panels to make this crawl space more energy efficient. The panels silver color helps them reflect and hold in heat energy. To complete our solution for Robert’s rental home, we used spray foam insulation to supplement the SilverGlo wall panels. Since it’s transformation, the crawl space under Roger’s rental property has been completely dry. Robert’s tenants were thrilled because starting with their next heating bill they began seeing a cost decrease. Our new friend says he has plans to invite us back up to his personal home, and you should invite us to transform yours.

The building code used to require that basements and crawl spaces have vents installed. Vents are not good as they let in hot, humid air in the summer and freezing, cold air in the winter. These vents can cause mold, rot, and wasted energy.

We have vent covers that will fix your problem. Usually vent doors are made of plywood and don't look very appealing. The ones we offer are made of plastic so they won't rot, warp or need paint. They come in 3 different colors and work great to help you start saving on your energy bills.
