Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

This home is only used seasonally, but every year upon returning, the homeowners noticed that it smelled...musty. Eventually, they realized the floors weren't quite level and there were some soft spots and well as cold spots. These are all signs of a leaking crawl space and are actually pretty easy to fix - if you call us, that is.

We installed a SmartDrain to deal with any future plumbing leaks and a SaniDry CX air system to manage the humidity. Then, because they were concerned with saving energy, we installed the CleanSpace encapsulation system (including drainage matting) as well as TerraBlock insulation on the floor and SilverGlo wall insulation on exterior walls.

In order to maintain a healthy, mold-free crawl space area it’s important that the space is moisture-free. Crawl spaces are often damp which allows mold and mildew to grow. Our job is to eliminate the moisture so that your crawl space remains without pests, odor, mold, and more! This client requested help with restoring his crawl space to its original dry state. With the help of our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier Liner and SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier we were able to leave him and his family with long-lasting results!  

Have you walked thought the house and heard the floor boards squeak? We hear about this all of the time. One customer in Harbor Springs had the same issue. When we came to his home to see the problem for ourselves we noticed that the problem didn't lye with the floor, but the problem was due to the support of the floor (in the crawlspace). The support of the floor was done by pieces of wood, which is not safe for the foundation. We fixed that issue by installing our SmartJack technology. The SmartJack is a support system used to stabilize and level the floor joists in a crawl space. This system can support up to 60,000 pounds. The SmartJack system is placed on strong concrete fillings that have replaced the soil in that small location underneath the SmartJack. This new technology makes this home safer than ever before.

Barry K's dirt crawl space allowed cold, damp air to seep in which led to cold floors in the room above this crawl space. We laid down a drainage mat which is made specifically for crawl spaces, are perfect for uneven floors, and they capture any water that may enter the space. We then encapsulated the space with our CleanSpace crawl space liner. 

Denise B.'s dirt crawl space had several issues that stemmed from their unsealed, uninsulated walls and floor. Cold air and moisture freely entered the crawl space which made for cold floors upstairs. We added a drainage matting to the entire floor which works on even or uneven surfaces and captures water that may enter the crawl space. We then installed a polyetherane CleanSpace crawl space liner on top which serves as a vapor barrier.
