Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Martin wanted his crawl space encapsulated to keep out mold and water. We first installed the Drainage Matting. This mat has dimples in it to allow any water that gets in to flow under the liner and can be directed to the sump pump. The CleanSpace Liner is installed over top of the matting as a vapor barrier. This liner stops water vapor, humidity, and pests from passing through the foundation into the space. There is also an additive in the liner which prevents mold growth to keep the space and home dry!

This homeowner had standing water in their basement so they called us for a solution. We installed the WaterGuard system which is a French drain that is designed to be installed below the floor slab to be kept out of the "mud zone", where drains can clog. The system collects water that seeps into the basement and drains it to your sump pump.

We also installed the IceGuard to the discharge line. If a discharge line gets backed up, your sump pump won't work properly in the event of water in your basement, which will make the flooding much worse. The IceGuard is a secondary escape route for the water through slotted openings if the line gets backed up.

Our customer called with major water and mold issues in his crawl space. We used CleanSpace vapor barrier to encapsulate the crawl space after adding a layer of drainage matting to help water flow to the new Smart Sump pump. A SaniDry dehumidifier was also installed to control ambient moisture.

This dirt crawl space was in terrible condition, but our team of experts knew just what to do. The main problem affecting this space was that the exposed earth creates a constant stream of water vapor and without properly removing that moisture, mold and rot can occur. As you can see in the before picture, the insulation is completely saturated with water and has fallen to the ground. Most insulation is made from organic material, making it the perfect home for mold to grow, not to mention fallen insulation will do nothing for your home. The “Stack Effect” causes air from the crawl space to travel up into your home, meaning any water vapor, mold spores, and musty smells will become present within your home.

In order to combat this problem we installed CleanSpace, which is a waterproof, plastic liner that is used to encapsulate a crawl space to keep the outside environment from getting in. We also installed SliverGlo, which is an energy efficient insulation that is moisture and mold resistant. Lastly, we used FrothPak spray foam insulation, which is also water-resistant so you wont have to worry about it becoming saturated and falling down.

Ted and Charlotte P. own a cottage in Grawn, MI. This wonderful couple was struggling with a constantly wet crawl space. Living near the lake, a high-water table was causing water and moisture to come up through the floor. While at their main residence down state, Ted and Charlotte saw one of our TV ads about addressed a wet crawl space.

Upon scheduling a free inspection and inviting us to their cottage, our new friends worked with our guiding experts to devise a solution that met their budget and solved their wet crawl space problems. After seeking other proposals, the right one was clear for Ted and Charlotte. The couple elected to have us install our CleanSpace Drainage Matting and the CleanSpace encapsulation system. Along with these solutions, we installed a highly efficient sump pump to ensure the crawl space remains dry. Since the installation of the new system, having a cottage on a lake has no longer been a sweat for our new friends. Call us today, to schedule your free estimate.
