Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

The sloping crawl space seen in the before photo was in need of an encapsulation, badly. The owners had already seen mold and standing water present. Lucky for the owners, they had used Ayers for foundation repairs in the past and knew that crawl space encapsulations were just another one of our specialties. The white liner in the after photo is our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier. As you can see, the barrier was used to cover the entire crawl space dirt floor and part way up the walls. For the rest of the walls, the crew used our SilverGlo Wall panels. The silver panels are insulation that reflects heat back to its source. By regulating moisture in the crawl space, this will help rid this home of its past mold problems.

In Okemos Michigan, a homeowner was having problems with their crawlspace, so they gave us a call. We drove to their property to check it out for ourselves, after inspection we decided that CleanSpace would be perfect for their situation.  CleanSpace is a 20 mil thick plastic liner that fits to the crawl space to completely seal the home from the earth. Polyester cord reinforcement allows for a lot of durability, to make it last longer than the home will. This liner also contains an antimicrobial additive to prevent mold. CleanSpace is the perfect mold fighting technology for any crawlspace. Now, this homeowner will be worry free about their crawlspace.

Gina realized that not only was the crawl space below her home very humid and damp, but the house began to stink of a horrible smell. Realizing that something must be happening in the crawl space, she decided to call Ayers to have it looked at. The team at Ayers acted quickly and sent a specialist to assess her home. The team at Ayers concluded that CleanSpace would be perfect for the crawl space. Gina's crawl space was retaining moisture, causing mold and other fungi to form, thus resulting in the smell. An installation crew at Ayers went right to work on installing CleanSpace, a heavy-duty plastic liner that lines the entity of the crawl space. The liner will stop any moisture or water from coming into the crawl space and direct the water toward a drain point. After CleanSpace was installed, the crawlspace not only looked brighter and neater, but it also eliminated the horrible smell! 

Gina was searching for a solution to a musty odor coming from her crawl space. She knew she had to get it sealed up fast to protect her family from getting sick, so she called Ayers. We sent a crew to her home for a free inspection and our System Design Specialists told Gina she could use our CleanSpace and SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier solution to tackle these issues.

With CleanSpace installed, the vapor barrier property it holds will protect against excess water vapor. This thick, durable plastic liner is placed on the crawl space floor and walls. It is specially engineered with inorganic material that prevents mold or bacteria development. Next we added the SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier which will eliminate this irritating damp, musty smell that was bothering Gina by drying and filtering the air. This is the most efficient and cost effective dehumidifier as well.

Gina was grateful to seal up and rid her crawl space of this musty smell that was affecting her family!

These Boyne City, MI homeowners found us at a trade show. After flipping through our Crawl Space Science book and talking with one of our representatives, they knew they wanted one of our energy efficient encapsulations. At the time, their dirt crawl space was filled with debris and various types of insulation they had used to cover the vents. Our system design specialist offered them a much a better alternative.

The Ultimate Energy Saving combination utilizes three different products designed to insulate both the floor and walls, all the while keeping the crawl space protected from moisture and humidity. The dirt floor of this crawl space was perfect for moisture and humidity to permeate. Our drainage matting, when laid across the floor, will prevent water from becoming trapped in the crawl space and adding to the humidity. The actual floor insulation came from the waterproof foam TerraBlock. To insulate the walls, the team used SilverGlo insulation panels. The walls were attached over the previous stone and will reflect heat back into the crawl space while keeping the cold out. After encapsulating the entire area with our ultra-durable CleanSpace vapor barrier, this crawl space was good to go.
