Installing a Vapor Barrier in an Arcadia Crawl Space

Nell had some water and moisture in her crawl space that she would like to remove so her home is safe. We wanted to make sure her crawl space was dry to protect her home from mold, rot, and odors. We first used Drainage Matting to give water a channel to flow through and be sent to the sump pump. We then installed the CleanSpace Liner which is thick and durable. It keeps out pests, mold, water vapor, and humidity to keep the crawl space dry. Lastly to make sure the space was really dry, we installed the SaniDry Sedona which has a small size so it can easily fit into the area. It blows dry air throughout and filters the air making it the perfect addition to the crawl space encapsulation!

 

Waterproofing Made Easy: TrenchDrain Installation in Arcadia, MI

This Arcadia, MI, family struggled with water pooling in their garage, creating hazardous ice patches in the winter. To solve this, Ayers installed a TrenchDrain system along the garage perimeter, capturing and redirecting water away from the home. With the new drainage in place, their garage is now safeguarded from water intrusion year-round, preventing ice buildup and improving safety in all seasons.

Crawl Space Encapsulated and Insulated In Interlochen, MI

The before pictures in this Interlochen, MI crawl space all just looked like fiberglass insulation. Everywhere you looked, insulation was falling from between the joists and were doing nothing to help insulate the floors above, if they were doing much to begin with. Fiberglass insulation in an open space generally won't do much. The floors were covered with a clear light plastic vapor barrier but these barriers often don't attach well to walls and rip easily so they're not all that effective. We were able to help the homeowner with our durable CleanSpace Encapsulation system, SilverGlo insulation on the walls to help reflect heat back into the home, and TerraBlock insulation over the ground to create a thermal break and added vapor barrier. A SmartSump system was installed to help remove any incoming water and spray foam sealed all the rim joists and other gaps and cracks where vapors may enter. This crawl space got nearly the full treatment and the homeowner should notice a dramatic difference.

Restoring Safety and Functionality: Garage Concrete Repair in Interlochen

Cracks and uneven concrete in this Interlochen garage were creating tripping hazards and safety concerns for the family. Ayers used PolyLevel® to lift the sunken slabs and NexusPro® to seal the cracks, restoring the floor’s safety and durability. Now, the family can confidently use their garage without worry about hazards or further damage.

CleanSpace and SilverGlo: The Perfect Combo in Alpena, MI

We had been engaging in back and forth communication with this couple for a few months after they discovered their crawl space was damp and moldy. Due to worries caused by water issues in the past, they were determined to put an end to the leakage this time around.  After meeting with our system design specialist for almost five hours, a plan began to take form on how to eliminate the water for good.

Though several different crawl space products were used – SmartSump, Vent Covers, SaniDry CX dehumidifier, drainage matting – the key to the new system was the barriers put in place that would keep moisture out. The concrete block walls seen in the before picture make for a great foundation, unfortunately, they also make for easily penetrable material for moisture. To seal up the walls, the crew attached SilverGlo insulation walls in front of the concrete blocks. The SilverGlo creates a barrier that moisture won’t be able to pass through, and it will even direct leaking water to the sump pump system. Our CleanSpace vapor barrier will have a similar effect on the dirt floor. Dirt floors don’t offer much protection from humidity or moisture, making them a big part of the mold and standing water problem that was in this crawl space. However, the inorganic plastic liner, CleanSpace, won’t allow mold growth or moisture to permeate. With the full system in place, the owners of this crawl space have no need to worry about floods or mold again.
