Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

The dirt floor crawl space in the before photo was built back in the ‘70s. The owners had noticed moisture and standing water in the crawl space. Not to mention, the home was also smelling a lot like dirt. Since they had recently redone the rest of the rental home, the owners wanted to improve on the previous tarp as the last step of the remodel. In the before photo, you can see how the old liner only covered the dirt floor and was taped up to the walls to keep water out. The new liner in the after photo is our CleanSpace system. CleanSpace is a moisture-impenetrable barrier that can keep out any water that comes through either the floor or walls. The white liner was the perfect way to end this home’s remodel.

Jacob was on the search for a door that would cover and protect his crawl space entrance. He noticed that Ayers sold doors meant for crawl spaces so he gave us a call. We sent out a crew to his home to go forward with the installation after we let him know our EverLast Doors would be perfect.

Our EverLast Doors are made from practically indestructible plastic and will do the most efficient job of sealing up his crawl space from harmful outside forces. You can also choose from several different colors if you're looking to have the door match the color scheme of the home. These doors won't ever warp, shrink, crack, or require any maintenance or painting. The seal on the door prevents air and water from getting in which protects against pests, moisture, as well as outside air. In addition to the door we also installed the EverLast Access Well to prevent water from leaking into the crawl space. These are much more efficient since they will never rust, rot, or corrode.

Jacob was very satisfied with the end result and is glad he doesn't have to worry about outside critters or other pests invading his crawl space!

Jacob was worried about the pools of water developing in his crawl space so he made the call to Ayers. After we had a crew conduct a free inspection for him, it was decided he needed CleanSpace and SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier. CleanSpace is a durable, waterproof liner that is placed on the crawl space floor and its vapor barrier protects against mold or bacteria development. This is much more efficient than a regular tarp you can buy at the store since this has the protective vapor barrier. Then we added SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier which is the highest-performing dehumidifier and it will clean and filter the air. This will ensure the air remains dry and can even reduce his cooling bill.

Jacob was happy he got a professional fix for his crawl space issues!

Pat had water coming into his crawl space. He needed it sealed off and encapsulated before the moisture caused any serious damage. Our team came out and installed CleanSpace, the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, and an EverLast Crawl Space Door. Typical wood crawl space doors can deteriorate over time and can allow insects and other pests to get in your crawl space. Not to mention, wood leaves room for outside air which makes the space cold and damp. Everlast doors are made from thick PVC Plastic and secured with weatherproof knobs. Unlike wood, it won't shrink or deteriorate over time and it won't require any maintenance. Once installed, the door will ensure that your space is sealed off from outside intrusions and keeps the space warm. CleanSpace is an uninterrupted vapor barrier designed to keep out any unwanted pests, moisture, and mold. This barrier restricts airflow and therefore makes controlling the temperature of the home much easier. CleanSpace is applied to the floors and walls and wrapped around pillars and piers carefully to ensure that the space looks clean and refreshed. The SaniDry Sedona is more powerful than any other dehumidifier and drains automatically so you don't have to worry about emptying the water yourself. It will control the humidity and make sure to stop mold growth, kill dust mites, and make your whole house healthier. This way Pat won’t have to worry about any more moisture getting into his space or any further damage that the moisture could cause. His basement will be encapsulated and protected against any moisture that may intrude into his space. 

George called because even though he had what he thought was a vapor barrier installed in his crawl space, he was still noticing moisture in parts of - mostly the area below the bedrooms. He was older and didn't want to go down there himself, so he asked us to come to an inspection and let him know what would fix it permanently.

Whoever had done work in his crawl space hadn't put down a true barrier, but instead the plastic sheeting many people use just to cover the dirt and think "good enough." Unfortunately it isn't good enough to keep moisture out of your crawl space and home. 

We installed CleanSpace vapor barrier with drainage matting in the entire crawl space, which will prevent water issues in the future and keep George's home safe and dry.
