Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Tom's house started smelling musty upstairs, and he wasn't sure how to identify the cause. After researching his options online, he called Ayers to learn about our waterproofing solutions. We sent a team of professionals to his house, and they recommended installing the CleanSpace vapor barrier. Crawl space moisture and mold growth can cause nasty smells upstairs. CleanSpace aims to eliminate moisture, prevent mold growth with antimicrobial-lined material, and withstand wear from walking and crawling upon it. Tom can't believe how fresh his house smells!

The homeowners needed their crawl space cleaned out. There was a ton of moisture, unwanted air, and pests getting into the space causing it to be damp and have a mildew smell. The moisture could cause mold to grow in the crawl space, which could then release bad air into the home. That bad air could result in health problems for the homeowners.

Our professional team knew something had to be done, so they installed the CleanSpace encapsulation system. CleanSpace encapsulation system covers the floors and walls of your crawl space with a think, durable, plastic vapor barrier. The CleanSpace system reduces moisture and humidity in the space, helps seal out cold drafts in the winter, keeps unwanted pests out, and has a 25 year total performance warranty. The CleanSpace encapsulation system transforms your crawl space into a clean, dry, attractive and energy efficient space! 

A homeowner in Laingsburg, MI, had been dealing with ongoing water issues in their crawlspace. After heavy rains, a lot of water intrusion was evident. The moisture was also causing the insulation under the floorboards to deteriorate, threatening the integrity of the wooden beams. We installed CleanSpace, a vapor barrier designed to keep the crawlspace dry by sealing out moisture. Our crew also removed the damaged insulation, protecting the home’s foundation from further water damage.

Before the steel support beams and SmartJack system in the after photo were added into this crawl space, the floor above had been sagging in several different places. As you can see, the owners had been using cinderblocks to boost up the floor joists. The SmartJack system in the after photo is a much better solution, as the jacks can be raised to whatever height necessary. Not only that, the SmartJack system also includes steel beams that will allow each SmartJack to support large areas of the floor joists. The beams also won’t erode from the moisture and dampness that was commonly in the crawl space. It's the perfect system to repair any sagging crawl space or floor.

There was water in Dennis’s crawl space so he called our team for help. We installed CleanSpace as an uninterrupted vapor barrier made from a plastic sheet material. It 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.
