Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

The customer contacted us with a story we've heard many times in the past - a damp, dank, musty crawl space was a thorn in their side. It was also vented, which should never happen. Think about it - how can you control the environment in a crawl space if there's a VENT?

We installed the CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system with drainage matting and vent covers, and placed a SaniDry in the crawl space to keep the humidity down. 

Tom was hoping to get his old farmhouse in Belding, MI fixed up, starting with his crawl space. He discovered Ayers has solutions for his crawl space so he gave us a call. We sent out a crew and our System Design Specialists determined he would need our CleanSpace and Drainage Matting solution. 

Before we could install CleanSpace we first laid down our Drainage Matting. This is a raised, dimpled mat that catches any water intrusion and will direct the flow to your drain and sump system. Next we installed CleanSpace which is a thick, durable plastic liner with a vapor barrier property that protects against excess water and moisture. This is much more durable than a regular tarp from the store as it is waterproof and antimicrobial which means it will protect against nasty mold development. 

Tom was ecstatic to tackle these issues in his farmhouse with a permanent solution!

Carly's floor was freezing since the weather shifted, and she couldn't tolerate cold feet. She needed to fix the problem, so she researched her options and called Ayers for assistance. Our professionals stopped by her home to evaluate and realized the vents in her crawl space allowed cold air underneath her house. They installed the CleanSpace vapor barrier, a highly durable and antimicrobial-lined material. CleanSpace deters moisture and cold air entry and consequently prevents cold feet. Carly's feet are much warmer now!

This below-water level crawl space of this summer cottage in Fennville, MI had leaky walls, drainage issues and exposed dirt, all contributing to the damp atmosphere of the space. To keep humidity low, our team installed a SaniDry dehumidifier, along with WaterGuard, a drainage system placed on top of the footing along the perimeter of the space to help drain any leaks. Finally, draining matting was installed on the floor before a CleanSpace liner was fitted over it to block moisture and mold and to seal off the area from the earth.

Our customer had their crawl space encapsulated. To ensure it stayed dry and did not allow outside air in, we installed our Everlast door. The Everlast door is a snug-fitting all plastic door that stops air and moisture from entering the crawl space.
