Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

John's crawl space was in rough shape. It had a dirt floor, weak rotting support structures, and no encapsulation. He decided it was time to call Ayers for a permanent solution. The inspection we conducted of the crawl space helped our professionals determine the best recommendations. We suggested CleanSpace for encapsulation and SmartJacks for better support. CleanSpace is a heavy-duty liner made of waterproof antimicrobial material. The vapor barrier property it holds will prevent moisture buildup that leads to mold or bacteria. Then we installed SmartJacks to provide foundation support. This solution is a supplemental support system for crawl space applications meant to support sagging beams and floor joists. SmartJacks consist of a solid base installed in the subfloor and steel extendable columns. John is thrilled with the stellar transformation and protection these solutions provide!

Looking at the before picture of this crawl space you can almost feel how damp it is. While there was a liner in place, it wasn’t sealed at the perimeter of the walls allowing water to accumulate underneath and on top of the liner. This standing water caused the crawl space to be damp and a breeding ground for mold.

Our team upgraded this crawl space’s current liner to CleanSpace. Made of 2 layers of polyester cord reinforcement, this liner installed on the floors and walls it stays where it’s installed and can even be walked on. CleanSpace provides a barrier to moisture, allowing the water behind the liner to drain to the sump pump. Not only the does the liner transform the look of the crawl space, but it keeps it dry so the crawl space is can be a usable space! 

Benjamin's wooden support beams and structures in his crawl space were starting to warp. He made the right call when he chose Ayers for our crawl space repair expertise. Our System Design Specialists determined from an inspection of the area that CleanSpace and SmartJacks. CleanSpace is a durable plastic liner installed along the floor and wall of the crawl space. This waterproof liner is made with a vapor barrier that prevents mold or bacteria growth. Next, the SmartJacks were installed for foundation support. This repair system is installed by attaching steel support beams to the floor joists and a sturdy base placed in the floor. Once the posts are installed, they get adjusted to raise the floors to a level position once again. Benjamin's crawl space has now been completely transformed with permanent solutions!

Bill's crawl space was unprotected without proper encapsulation to prevent water vapor and mold. He called Ayers to determine the best course of action for crawl space protection. Our experts concluded a CleanSpace liner would provide the necessary vapor barrier between the damp soil and the home. The liner covers the floor and walls of the crawl space, providing an airtight seal. Water, mold, and outside critters no longer have a habitable environment to thrive in. Bill feels grateful for permanent protection and a more visually appealing crawl space!

Robert's home smelled musty, but he wasn't sure where it came from. He searched and ended up in a surprisingly wet and moldy crawl space. He couldn't stand the smell, so he called Ayers to learn about our waterproofing solutions. Our team stopped by and recommended CleanSpace, an antimicrobial vapor barrier that's wear and tear resistant, fully encapsulating the crawl space and preventing mold growth. Robert loves his fresh-smelling house!
