Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawl Space Insulation and Support Re enforcement in Marshall

Mr. and Mrs. Wells have lived in their home for close to 60 years. With no plans on leaving the home anytime soon, the couple contacted Ayers to see about their sloping floors and damp crawl space. Our foreman Blade used PowerBrace support beams to stabilize the floors. After he fitted the home with multiple TripleSafe sump pumps and lined the crawl space with CleanSafe, all while using a dehumidifier to remove the moisture left by the water.

Dehumidifier

One of the greatest dangers to home is water. Not just on the floor, but in the air as well. Left untreated, the moisture can cause mold spores to form on the wood and cause the same wood to rot. After finding the source of the water, the next step that is often missed is to treat the air. Our team uses the best method to remove air moisture which is to have a dehumidifier running untill the air is dry.

CleanSpace Lining

Placed in all crawl spaces we work on, CleanSpace lining is the first line of defense in preventing future water damage. The antimicrobial lining prevents bacteria from finding a food source like wood found in the home's support.

TripleSafe Sump Pump

A home drainage system is a necessity and a reliable one is even more important. Many pumps reach their limit which is why Ayers uses TripleSafe. TripleSafe has 3 failsafes to ensure the system never gets overwhelmed. Apart from the normal motor, the TripleSafe has a backup battery and a standby motor to handle any level of excess water.

PowerBrace

Sloping floors and gaps between the walls and floors are a clear sign the crawlspace is in need of extra support. PowerBrace support beams are the perfect solution. anchored into the floor of the crawlspace with concrete, the top is fixed with a load bearing joint that is adjusted to prived a constant source of pressure. Powerbraces not only correct the issue but also serve as a permanent solution to the issue.
