Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Kathy had a crawl space with a dirt floor. She was hoping to make the space look neater, cleaner, and warmer. We were able to add TerraBlock insulation on the ground and SilverGlo insulation on the block walls to help reflect heat back into the home and our CleanSpace material provides a long-lasting and durable mositure barrier that is resistant to mold and mildew. Spray foam in the rim joists helps to seal any other cracks that may exist to keep unwanted cold air and moisture out. This crawl space is much brighter and more inviting now and the floors above should be noticeably warmer.

The customer called us because their water softener emptied directly into their crawl space, with the water then pumped out by the sump pump. This was causing a lot of problems, from a damp and gross crawl space to mold appearing on the baseboards in the house above.

In addition to installing a new sump pump and water discharge system, we encapsulated the crawl space with the CleanSpace vapor barrier system. We also installed SmartJacks throughout the space to reinforce the support beams compromised by all of the moisture in the crawl space.

This homeowner has water in the crawl space and it smells musty. He wants to water out and for thee area to be sealed off so it will be dry and clean. We first laid down drainage matting which has dimples in it so water can flow under it and be directed to the sump pump to be discharged. Next we installed the CleanSpace Liner which is a thick durable liner similar to a pool liner. This liner prevents water vapor and humidity from passing through. It also helps to keep your structure from rot and mold since the basement is kept dry. We also installed the SmartSump Crawl Space Sump Pump System. This is the ideal solution because it was designed for crawl spaces and can provide all the protection you need from leaks and floods. To help keep the moisture out of the crawl space, we installed the SaniDry Sedona which is a small dehumidifier that is the perfect size for a small crawl space. It keeps dry air circulating throughout the area to ensure the crawl space is protected, leaving you with a clean, dry space. 

Don was looking to fix up his crawl space since he was worried about the protection of his home, so he started searching for solutions. He discovered Ayers had the right kind of solutions to offer so he gave us a call. We had a crew go out to his home for a free inspection. Our System Design Specialists advised him to have us install SmartJacks and CleanSpace and he decided to have us go forward with the installations!

First with SmartJacks, this is a supplemental support system meant for crawl spaces that will support sagging beams and floor joists. It is installed by attaching steel support beams to the floor joists and a sturdy base at the floor. We also installed CleanSpace which is a thick, durable plastic liner with a vapor barrier property that will protect his crawl space from excess water or moisture development. It is placed on the crawl space floor and along the walls. It is even made of antimicrobial material so it will prevent nasty mold or bacteria growth.

Don was happy to get his crawl space fixed up with permanent solutions he could trust!

The owners of this home on Gun Lake called us with a “huge water issue” and also stated that their crawl space was a mess. We helped clean up their crawl space with some new insulation and the addition of a CleanSpace liner. Applied over drainage matting, CleanSpace is fixed to the walls and covers the floor. It’s extremely durable and provides a barrier to moisture, allowing water to drain beneath the liner. CleanSpace not only keeps the crawl space dry, but makes it a clean and usable space, too.
