Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Having a dirt crawl space when plumbing leaks are possible in your home is a recipe for disaster— just ask these Levering, MI homeowners. When water leaks, it’s absorbed in the dirt floor, making the crawlspace a wet, humid place and a breeding ground for mold. However, investing in a CleanSpace crawlspace liner and a SmartDrain to identify future leaks can address the previous concern. As shown in the second photo, our team did exactly this. Installing this flexible, durable and antimicrobial liner in the crawl space and an airtight floor drain that alerts the owners when there’s a leak, helps prevent any permanent damage. Additionally, a SaniDry Cx Air System to keep humidity low and CleanSpace Drainage Matting that directs water to the drainage system also works to make this crawl space a dry victory. 

David was concerned with the moisture buildup in his crawl space. He knew this area needed encapsulation, so he called Ayers. Our experts concluded from an inspection that our CleanSpace solution would be his best option. CleanSpace isn't any regular tarp from the store. It is a durable plastic liner utilizing a vapor barrier to prevent moisture development. We place a drainage matting below before installing the liner along the crawl space floor and walls. The raised dimples in the mat give the water leaking into the space a channel underneath the liner. With this proper encapsulation, David no longer has to stress about this area!

Chris & Lindy, a couple from Mackinaw City, MI found themselves turning their heat up higher and higher just to still feel cold in their home. One day, a concerned Chris decided to go down in the crawl space to investigate where this cold air was coming from. He could not believe how cold it was under their home!

Lindy began searching for crawl space experts and we came up at the top of the list. Chris & Lindy gave us a call and we sent one of our System Design Specialist to their home. Our expert created an individualized solution that fit our new friend’s needs and budget.  We recommended the application of our unique CleanSpace encapsulation product, which is a solid 20mm thick plastic barrier that completely and entirely seals off the crawlspace from the elements it faces below. Additionally, we installed SilverGlo wall paneling to increase the homes level of insulation. These shinny panels allow maximum conductivity of heat. Finally, our friends elected to tackle the relative humidity in there crawl space with the SaniDry XP. The SaniDry will promote dry breathable air throughout the couple’s home. Since their crawl space renovation, Lindy and Chris have turned their heat down and now feel warmer than ever.

Dan was concerned about the water leaking into his crawl space and knew he had to fix it. He wanted to avoid further issues, so he called Ayers for help. Our experts stopped by his house and recommended CleanSpace, an antimicrobial-lined vapor barrier. CleanSpace is applied continuously to the crawl space floors and walls and is designed to prevent moisture and mold growth. Dan is happy with his clean, dry space!

Mark's dirt crawl space lacked encapsulation. Proper encapsulation protects this area from outside pests and moisture. He decided to call Ayers for professional help tackling this problem area. Our crew inspected the space first to determine the appropriate recommendations. Our suggestion was to install CleanSpace. This system utilizes a plastic liner that holds a vapor barrier. This barrier prevents the buildup of excess moisture. A surplus in moisture leads to mold or bacteria growth. We install this liner along the crawl space floor and walls. The seal is airtight, preventing outside pests from setting up camp there!
