Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Paul noticed a musty smell coming from his two crawl spaces and called us to come and take a look. Our system design specialist found evidence of standing water, and that both crawl spaces had sand floors which can contribute greatly to moisture in the air, and create that musty smell. Our team installed discharge lines to carry any water away from the house, and CleanSpace, a vapor barrier that will ensure that any exposed earth won't contribute to mold growth and unwanted smells. CleanSpace also gives a more finished look and, now that he doesn't have to worry about unwanted water, enables Paul to now use his crawl spaces as potential storage. Our team was able to work fast and complete the project so Paul can continue renting his house out in the summer. 

This crawl space had high moisture levels and poor air quality, which eventually led to cracking in the drywall above. With a cinderblock foundation and outside entry, it was vulnerable to dampness and lacked proper protection.

Ayers transformed the space by installing a CleanSpace vapor barrier and drainage matting, creating a protective seal that prevents moisture from entering. We also added a Sedona dehumidifier to keep humidity in check. Now, the crawl space is clean, dry, and protected—helping to maintain the structural integrity of the home and improving air quality throughout.

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.
