Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Our team installed CleanSpace in a customer's home due to heavy water intrusion in his crawl space. CleanSpace is an uninterrupted vapor barrier. This material is applied to the walls and floor of your crawl space. It restricts all moisture, outside air, and pests from entering your crawl space. This system creates an energy-efficient crawl space, and it also gives your crawl space a clean finish.

We sent a crew to Christina's Sodus, Michigan, home to install a system to eliminate the cold drafts coming through her crawl space. We ultimately recommended CleanSpace as the best solution. CleanSpace is a waterproof liner with a vapor barrier, protecting the area from damp soil and outside pests. An airtight seal on the crawl space floor and walls is needed to prevent moisture buildup. A surplus in moisture leads to musty, moist air. Christina will no longer have to deal with these cold drafts of air protruding through her home!

Ayers captured this Middleville homeowner’s attention at a tradeshow. Wayne had a crawl space in his home, and while it wasn’t damp—thankfully—he was informed on the benefits of encapsulating the space and decided to have our team come to his home and do exactly that.

Encapsulating a crawl space is a smart idea to eliminate water vapor that comes from the floor and through the walls, keep outside air from coming in, and seal off the home from the earth to keep critters out. CleanSpace is what we use to do this. This liner is thicker and more durable than other crawl space liners, and since it’s fixed to the floor and walls, it provides a foolproof, sturdy moisture barrier.

Coupled with our crawl space insulation for both the floor and walls, SilverGlo and Terrablock to help keep the floors above much warmer, CleanSpace cuts energy costs for Wayne and gives him peace of mind that the crawl space will remain dry for years to come.

Brent K. called because he wanted a permanent fix for his leaking crawl space. The crawl space was built in 1983 with brick foundation and although there were no cracks found, water was entering where the wall meets the floor. During times of heavy rain, the problem worsened and the sump pump within the space was unable to keep up with the amount of water.

To update the ineffective sump pump we installed the SmartSump sump pump system. This sump pump is specifically made for wet crawl space needs by collecting and pumping water out of the space automatically. The system includes a reliable liner and pump, an airtight lid to prevent water in the sump from evaporating into the space and a floor drain that will allow water to flow directly into the sump through the lid if a flood occurs. To alert the homeowner if the pump cannot keep up for some reason, this system also comes with an alarm system that will sound if this problem occurs.

Next we installed drainage matting that is placed underneath the CleanSpace liner. The dimpled surface on this matting helps water flow easily underneath the liner and directs it to the sump pump to be pumped out of the home. 

Next we encapsulated the crawl space with the CleanSpace liner. This liner is waterproof and vapor proof to prevent moisture from entering the space through the brick walls or porous concrete floor. We sized the liner for the dimensions of the crawl space a secured it to the walls to prevent it from falling down. The material of the liner is extremely durable and includes an antimicrobial additive that prevents mold growth. 

Brent now has a dry crawl space and is free of any worries.  

A dirty, wet crawl space can really put a damper on your home (and its value). After discovering this, a family in Middleville, MI gave us a call. Upon a free and professional inspection, we determined our patented CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system would be the best solution to this family's problem. CleanSpace completely seals off your crawl space from the surrounding elements, preventing any dirt, water, or cold air from entering. The anti-microbial components in CleanSpace also adds an extra layer of protection against mold growth. With the installment of CleanSpace, this family can be comfortable in their home.
