Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Jake noticed his crawl space had some issues as there were some spots that were eroding so he decided to call up Ayers for solutions. We had our professionals come out to his home for an inspection and from there it was determined he needed SmartJacks and CleanSpace. First with SmartJacks this is a supplemental support system for crawl spaces made of steel columns, threaded rods, and a solid base that addresses sagging floors or the erosion of support structures. Then with CleanSpace this thick, sturdy plastic liner will cover the crawl space floor and protect it against moisture, mold, or bacteria with its vapor barrier property.

Jake was happy with the final result and the safety these crawl space solutions provided his home!

Patricia's very old farmhouse needed some work so she called our team. We encapsulated part of the space with CleanSpace. CleanSpace is an uninterrupted vapor barrier that is applied to the walls and floor of your crawl space. It restricts all moisture, outside air, and pests from entering your crawl space. This system creates an energy-efficient crawl space, and it also gives your crawl space a clean finish.  

Ricardo 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 for assistance. 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. Ricardo loves the new look of his crawl space!

Most times, if there’s moisture in a dirt-floored crawl space, the vapor is coming from the exposed earth. The soil in this dark and cool environment can never be dried completely, so the ground remains damp, as this first photo shows. It’s also apparent that water is entering this crawl space through block walls Since cinderblocks are porous, they suck up moisture from the ground making them wet on the inside.

If this doesn’t highlight the importance of a durable crawl space liner, then maybe think of the air in this crawl space. The moist environment is a breeding ground for mold, contaminating the air that everyone who lives here breathes.

CleanSpace is the most effective solution to combating these problems and many more. Made of numerous layers of inorganic material, this thick crawl space liner is incredibly durable. It’s fixed to the walls of the basement or crawl space to provide a moisture barrier, and completely seal off the home from the earth. It’s manufactured with an antimicrobial additive, so mold can’t grow on the inside of the liner if it gets wet.

The CleanSpace encapsulation system transforms this damp, dark crawl space into a dry and healthy area.

Our CleanSpace system has been used in all sorts of crawl spaces for a variety of different problems. This time around the owners asked for the encapsulation to be installed in a crawl space that was typically dry beside a little moisture during the spring. Their main reason for asking was to keep out the occasional critters that would show up. As you can see in the before photo, the crawl space was made up of a dirt floor and fieldstone walls. Both of these foundations offered easy access for critters to enter. The CleanSpace system in the after photo is attached tightly to both the walls and floor, eliminating the possibility of any future crawling visitors. The final installation product was the ultra reliable TripleSafe sump pump. With two different backup pumps in the sump, water will never threaten this Leslie, MI home again.
