Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

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!

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!
