Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Richland Michigan needed help waterproofing her basement because she kept noticing water collecting inside of it. She gave us a call so she could receive our professional help. We drove to her house to give her a free estimate and noticed the crawl was not properly insulated from the outside environment. To fix that we installed our advanced CleanSpace technology. CleanSpace is a 20 mil thick plastic liner that fits to the crawl space to completely seal the home from the earth. Polyester cord reinforcement allows for a lot of durability, to make it last longer than the home will. This liner also contains an antimicrobial additive to prevent mold. Now this homeowner will not have to worry about a wet crawl space ever again.

The customer approached us at a home show for help with her crawl space. Her home's floors were cold and she suspected she was losing heat through the crawl space. She wanted to stop paying to heat the ground, and to have a more comfortable home.

As she suspected, the crawl space was a huge energy drain, allowing the cold ground to affect the house above it. We installed the CleanSpace vapor barrier system along with our Ultimate Energy Savings package - TerraBlock insulation on the floor and SilverGlo insulation on the walls, as well as rim joist foam to finish the job.

For the past few years, Annette and Thomas have had a drafty house. Their home is especially cooler in the winter because their crawl space isn't properly sealed off. So our team insulated their rim joists. Small cracks and seams can exist around rim joists, but after insulating them all of those cracks are sealed off. Now airflow is restricted keeping outside air out and inside air in. Annette and Thomas will no longer have to worry about their home being cold during the long winter months in Michigan.

 Before Ayers Basement Systems stepped in, James and Donna's crawl space was a damp, musty nightmare. Water seepage had taken its toll, creating an unsuitable environment for storing anything. Once our team installed the CleanSpace liner, the transformation was remarkable. The once-damp crawl space is now dry, clean, and usable.

You’ve washed every clothing item in your house but there still seems to be a musty stench wafting around. Instead of using your time cluelessly looking for the problem, call Ayers Basement Systems. Tim and Carol decided to contact us after learning their crawl space was harboring mold, smells, and a ton of moisture. 

Our certified systems design specialist determined that the Clean Space Encapsulation System would best combat the family’s issues and ensure a long lasting solution. To fully waterproof Tim and Carol’s crawlspace, our team utilized the crawl space vapor barrier liner, drainage matting and the SaniDry XP. The vapor barrier liner seals the dirt ground, preventing the evaporation of moisture into the air. In combination with the liner, the SaniDry XP dehumidifier eliminates any of the remaining moisture in the air. No moisture means no mold!
