Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

This Kewadin, MI crawl space was riddled with moisture and mold. A surefire way to remedy the moisture problem in this crawl space was to install our durable CleanSpace material on the walls and ground to act as a vapor barrier. Dimple matting between the ground and CleanSpace material facilitated water flow to a new UltraSump system. This sump pump system safely removed any moisture from the crawl space. It was equipped with a battery-backup system so that it would continue to protect the space even during a power outage. A SaniDry CX dehumidifier protects the crawl space from any harmful water vapor in the air and helps keep building materials dry so that mold does not grow once again.  We used our Mold-X treatment to create a safer environment below the home so that the air rising into the spaces above would be clean and breathable. This crawl space is now dramatically improved and much safer and dryer. 

Nick noticed after the storm that water moisture from the rain had entered his crawl space. He knew this could cause further damage, so he called Ayers for help. Our specialists visited his home to evaluate the space and make a recommendation. They decided to install CleanSpace, a highly durable vapor barrier lined with anti-microbial material and applied entirely to the crawl space floors and walls. CleanSpace aims to eliminate moisture, prevent mold growth, and withstand normal wear and tear. Nick loves his shiny new space!

In crawl spaces, we want to prevent any moisture and outside air from seeping in. These elements provide the perfect opportunity to for mold growth in your crawl space. Vented crawl spaces can also increase your energy bills by allowing cool air into your home. Ayers Basement Systems recommends installing the CleanSpace vent cover. They are made of plastic so they will not rot or rust and will permanently seal the air out and insulate your crawl space.

This customer complained about their crawl space always being damp. Their well, pump, and plumbing are exposed and they would like for it to be secured and insulated before winter hits and the pipe freezes. Our team installed the CleanSpace Liner to prevent any moisture from entering the space. The CleanSpace Liner keeps the moisture out in those winter months to prevent freezing and gives the crawl space a much cleaner look and area to navigate.

Michigan winters are brutal to for everyone, even our houses start to have issues with the drastic temperature change.  Low temperatures can increase energy bills due to poor housing insulation; as well as increases in precipitation can cause flooding problems with poor waterproofing in crawlspaces.  At Ayers Basement Systems, we recommend upgrading existing crawlspaces with two products: CleanSpace and SilverGlo.  CleanSpace is a white vapor barrier that protects the house from invasive humidity and temperatures from the ground.  SilverGlo goes on the wall to further insulate the crawlspace.  With the addition of a sump pump, these upgrades will help to save money, reduce cold temperatures, and eliminate any organisms growing under our houses.
