Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

One look at the before picture of this crawl space, and you likely wouldn’t want to step foot in it. It’s cold, dark, and even worse—damp. The after picture shows the dramatic transformation of the space after the addition of SilverGlo insulation and a CleanSpace crawl space liner. SilverGlo comes in panels, and is manufactured with graphite particles, which makes it shiny. This isn’t just for looks, though; these particles resist heat conduction and reflect heat back into the crawl space.

CleanSpace, unlike other crawl space liners, is extremely thick and durable. Installed on the floor and even the walls of the crawl space seals of the home from the earth, keeping moisture out. Eliminating moisture in the crawl space not only keeps it dry, but prevents mold from growing, and keeps the air clean.

This dramatic transformation not only visibly brightens the space, but provides a barrier to moisture and mold, and keeps the space warm and energy efficient.

Elma's crawl space was in rough condition since dirt and debris covered the floor. She did not have this area properly encapsulated to protect her home from outside pests or moisture. She decided to call Ayers for our crawl space repair options, so we sent a crew for an inspection. Our system design specialists recommended CleanSpace to encapsulate the area. Before we place this thick waterproof liner on the crawl space floor, we install the Drainage Matting first. This product gives the water leaking into the crawl space a channel underneath the liner. The raised dimples in the mat help direct the water to the sump pump system rather than accumulating on the floor. Next, we installed the airtight CleanSpace liner to provide a barrier between the moist ground and the home. This product has a vapor barrier that prevents the buildup of excess water that leads to mold or bacteria. When the crew showed Elma the results, she was shocked by the total transformation of her crawl space!

Roxanne worried about the ability of moisture to enter her home through the crawl space. She wasn't convinced that her crawl space vents were fighting the problem, so she called Ayers. We sent a team of experts to her home to investigate and recommend a solution. Roxanne's open vents were allowing outside air and moisture to enter her home, causing mold growth, leading to structural damage. The team decided to install CleanSpace vent covers, which offer encapsulation, ensuring no air or moisture leaks through the vents. Roxanne is excited to have a dry, mold-free crawl space!

This crawl space was not an area you wanted to step foot in…even if you could. The insulation was falling and debris covered the dirt floor, but what’s worse is that it was humid and damp. After meeting with our system design specialists, the homeowners knew that CleanSpace was their best option to fixing up their crawl space. This bright white liner dramatically brightens the space, and provides a moisture barrier. It’s made of many layers of cord-reinforced material making it durable and tear resistant. CleanSpace is also manufactured with an antimicrobial additive to prevent mold from growing on the liner. Encapsulating the crawl space with our patented liner ensures that moisture stays will stay out of this crawl space and allows the homeowners to even use the space for storage! 

CleanSpace is a vapor barrier that we use to stop moisture/water in a crawl space. CleanSpace is a thick plastic liner that is fitted to your crawl space and it seals off your home from the earth. Since the liner is plastic there is no concerns of mold growth. The bright white color helps dramatically improve the appearance of your crawl space also. After installation you can now use this space to store stuff on too, it will not hurt the liner and its much nicer than that dirt floor that was previously here.
