Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Mark realized moisture was entering his crawl space and causing mold growth. He knew this could lead to structural damage, so he called Ayers for help. Our specialists stopped by and recommended installing EverLast doors. Crawl space doors are often constructed of plywood or similar materials that fail to eliminate moisture. The EverLast door is made from a durable plastic that will not shrink, crack, or warp under certain conditions. Mark is happy his basement is dry!

After a home inspector pointed out that the crawl space in this home needed a new beam, the owners decided to give us – the crawl space experts – a call. They weren’t completely unaware. They had noticed that one of the rooms above was sloping downwards.

To fix this problem and hold together the structural integrity of the home, the crew used 4 different SmartJacks. By placing the jacks underneath the floor joists - the crawl space ceiling- - and adjusting them to the proper height, the SmartJacks were able to raise the foundation back to its original and stable level without replacing the beam. SmartJacks can support over 60,000 pounds so this repair is a permanent solution. 

Larry was concerned about his damp, dirt floor crawl space. He knew a dirt floor wasn't keeping any water moisture out, so he researched his options and called Ayers. Our specialists visited his home, inspected the space, and recommended installing CleanSpace, an antimicrobial-lined vapor barrier. CleanSpace is applied uninterruptedly to the crawl space floors and walls to prevent moisture entry and is also designed to be walked and crawled on. Larry loves the new look of his crawl space!

Martin wanted his crawl space encapsulated to keep out mold and water. We first installed the Drainage Matting. This mat has dimples in it to allow any water that gets in to flow under the liner and can be directed to the sump pump. The CleanSpace Liner is installed over top of the matting as a vapor barrier. This liner stops water vapor, humidity, and pests from passing through the foundation into the space. There is also an additive in the liner which prevents mold growth to keep the space and home dry!

This home in Rives Junction, MI had a very damp crawl space. With leaky walls, and three sump pumps that didn't work, the moisture had nowhere to go. Our team installed CleanSpace to seal off the crawl space from the leaky walls. This plastic liner is made of many layers making it durable, and it's also antimicrobial. The water from the walls runs along the drainage matting underneath the liner to the SuperSump we installed. This sump pump captures the water and then pumps it out of the space through a discharge line in the yard.
