Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Larry called us with a crawl space in need of a makeover. With winter approaching, now is the time to secure your house against the elements, and that's what we did on his project.

After installing the Clean Space vapor barrier system to encapsulate the crawl space and protect it - and the house above it - from the ground's ambient moisture, we added SilverGlo insulating wall panels.

With these two changes, not only will the crawl space be protected from the ground below it, but the house will be protected, keeping floors warmer and energy bills lower.

Our customer called because his neighbor had had his crawl space encapsulated by us and he wanted "the same treatment." Upon exploring the crawl space, it was clear he needed it. After clearing out debris, we installed the CleanSpace vapor barrier system with drainage matting and SilverGlo insulation panels. We also installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to take care of ambient moisture, and CleanSpace vent covers to protect the crawl space from the elements.

The crawl space of this Charlevoix home had a funny smell-likely from mildew and mold as a result of moisture in the space. A remedy for both the smell and the moisture was the installation of CleanSpace, a durable crawl space liner to seal of the home from the earth. Made with an antimicrobial additive, this liner has multiple layers of plastic to make it durable and tear resistant, providing a barrier from moisture and mold. In order to eradicate the smell and mold even more, we sprayed an anti-microbial compound throughout the space to help reduce allergens. This crawl space is now a healthy, usable space. 

Michigan farm owner Lillian gave us a call after becoming worried that the pipes in her crawl space would free due to lack of insulation. Frozen pipes would be disastrous to her and the animals so we immediately took action. Our Systems Design Specialists were able to solve Lillian’s problem by installing our patented CleanSpace Vapor Barrier Liner. The thick, durable liner keeps the area dry and warm. In addition, we utilized our Froth-Pak spray insulation to spray around the rim joist. The insulation spray is waterproof, inorganic, and heavy duty which creates the perfect long-lasting solution. 

A customer from Charlevoix contacted us about his crawlspace, he said that he wanted help with insulating with the crawlspace from the outside environment. When looking at his crawlspace we realized that he needed 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.  This technology is perfect for keeping moisture out of the home, which will keep the home safer and will make the energy bills much cheaper.
