Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

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 clean space was musty and had become a home for mice. The owners of the lake cottage wanted that fixed. The answer for them was our CleanSpace encapsulation system which helps create a moisture barrier to keep any water seepage and harmful water vapors separate from the home above. The CleanSpace system is durable and resistant to tearing as well as being mold and mildew resistant. 

These homeowners scored some additional energy savings as well while we were at it by adding SilverGlo insulation to the walls and SilverGlo insulation to the floors which help to reflect heat back into the home and create an additional vapor barrier. The results are astounding. 

These Bellevue, MI customers called us after becoming fed up with the water issues that plagued their crawlspace. Whenever it rained, the sump pump – trying to keep up with the leakage – would constantly run. Most of the water was coming through leaks in the blocks walls or passing through the tarp that was used to cover the crawl space floor.

To give the overworked sump a much-needed rest, the system design specialist recommended that the homeowners look into our Ultimate Energy Saver package. The package includes a combination of multiple crawl space products like a vapor barrier and the SilverGlo wall insulation that are seen in the after photo. Both TerraBlock insulation and a drainage matting were included, as well, but are covered in the photo by the CleanSpace system. With the drainage matting in place, water will flow directly to the sump pump for discharge and hopefully, ease the burden. The combined effort of TerraBlock insulation and CleanSpace will keep moisture from rising through the dirt floor and causing damage to the crawl space. Not to mention, the insulation that comes from TerraBlock and the SilverGlo walls will help save the house a bundle on energy utilities. The full encapsulation of the crawl space should mean the end of this family’s crawl space issues. 

Water was entering Steve and Bernita’s crawl space after heavy rains. After they called our team to discuss encapsulation options, we installed CleanSpace. CleanSpace is a plastic sheet material used as a vapor barrier to restrict all moisture, outside air, and pests from entering your crawl space. This system creates an energy-efficient crawl space, and it also gives your crawl space a clean finish. This material will be applied to your floors and walls to create a sleek look and an uninterrupted barrier. Now Steve and Bernita no longer need to worry about water intrusion in their crawl space.

The customer called us because their water softener emptied directly into their crawl space, with the water then pumped out by the sump pump. This was causing a lot of problems, from a damp and gross crawl space to mold appearing on the baseboards in the house above.

In addition to installing a new sump pump and water discharge system, we encapsulated the crawl space with the CleanSpace vapor barrier system. We also installed SmartJacks throughout the space to reinforce the support beams compromised by all of the moisture in the crawl space.
