Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Minnie had an old and dirty crawlspace. Looking for encapsulation options, she called our team. We installed CleanSpace, a plastic sheet material used as a vapor barrier. CleanSpace restricts all moisture, outside air, and pests from entering your crawl space. Not only does this system create an energy-efficient crawl space, but it also gives your crawl space a clean finish. This material will be applied to your floors and walls to create a sleek look and an uninterrupted barrier.

Another spring day, another creepy crawl space. We had installed a sump system for this customer ten years ago, so when she decided something had to be done about her wet, gross crawl space before she could sell the house, she turned to us again.

In addition to getting and keeping the space dry, she wanted to increase the energy efficiency of the crawl space and house above it to make it more attractive to potential buyers, so we installed the CleanSpace crawl space vapor barrier system with drainage matting and drain tile, and Froth Pack Stone Wall insulation. Good luck on your sale!

The owner of this 100-year-old Webberville, MI home wanted to turn his basement into a usable space. But before he could get to work on that, he needed to solve his crawl space issues.

The original crawl space had a dirt floor, cobwebs, and a sinking ceiling. It was definitely a fixer-upper. The sinking ceiling not only threatened the crawl space but the room above as well. To keep the floor above from ending up in the basement, the crew attached 8 steel beams across the floor joists for added support. Then, using 9 SmartJacks, spread out across the crawl space, they lifted the floor back to its original position. With the foundation secure, the team turned their eye on encapsulating the crawl space. One of the great benefits of a CleanSpace encapsulation is that the liner can be wrapped around objects in its path, so the new SmartJacks didn’t hinder installation at all. The plastic vapor barrier will keep humidity and moisture out of the crawl space to prevent further damage to the wood foundation. For a bit of added protection, the crew sprayed FrothPak, a waterproof foam insulation, throughout the crawl space.

Kim and Matt, homeowners of a 1940s house in Webberville, MI, were concerned about bowing walls and uneven bathroom floors, signs of foundation issues, and potential safety risks. After contacting Ayers Basement Systems, a free inspection revealed water intrusion in their crawl space. To address these concerns, Ayers installed Shotcrete to reinforce the foundation walls, SmartJacks to stabilize the floors, and CleanSpace to encapsulate the crawl space, preventing moisture issues. A TripleSafe™ Sump Pump was also added for reliable water management. Now, Kim and Matt have peace of mind knowing their home is stable, secure, and comfortable once again.

We received a call from this customer about his rental property. He was interested in having his crawl space encapsulated. There was no system in place at the time, so the crawl space was left vulnerable to the outside world and all the problems that come along with it. Not to mention, a dirt crawl space in the basement can be a bit of an eyesore.

The goal of crawl space encapsulation is to create a barrier between the space and all things that would do it harm, specifically moisture and mold. Both water vapor and ground water can pass through exposed earth and into your crawl space. The added moisture will hang around your home, raise humidity, and then invite mold to join. To protect this crawl space, the team used our CleanSpace system. The system installed used two products: our drainage matting and the CleanSpace vapor barrier. The matting prevents water from becoming trapped in the space, while the durable vapor barrier keeps water vapor and humidity from entering.
