Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

This crawl space had suffered some minor termite damage in the past and signs of some moisture in the crawl space were evident. We were able to help remedy the issues under this home by sistering some joists to ensure the strength of the structure. We also encapsulated the crawl space using our durable CleanSpace material. This material covers the ground and is carried up the walls and around piers to create an effective moisture barrier. We also installed SilverGlo insulation on the wall to reflect heat back into the crawl space during the cold months and increase energy efficiency. Lastly, we spray foamed the rim joists which are a common entry point for humid air. This helps to create a cleaner, dryer, brighter, and healthier space under the home. 

This home was built in 1920, so the crawl space was not exactly an ideal one.  There was also evidence of a termite infestation, and mold was growing in multiple spots. Needless to say, this crawl space was due for a major upgrade. Luckily for this Grass Lake, MI home, we have the perfect solution: our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier Encapsulation system.

CleanSpace is a plastic liner that is designed to permanently keep away any moisture, air, or pests. It is placed completely over the walls and floor, creating a constant blockage to anything outside of it. Thanks to CleanSpace, this homeowner can say goodbye to pest and mold problems.

This Grass Lake home had a musty smell coming from the crawl space and the owner has respiratory issues making her worry that there was mold in her home. When we had our initial inspection, we found that the main beam in the crawl space was rotted and broken. To support the floors, we installed a supplemental beam and SmartJacks. We then installed the CleanSpace Liner to encapsulate the crawl space and keep it clean. Lastly, we used the SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to keep the space dry and to filter mold spores and other particles. 

Late last year, our call center received a call from Luella, a local homeowner in Grayling, MI. She saw an Ayers Basement Systems advertisement online, read reviews and concluded that we were the proven experts to call. Luella informed us that her crawlspace was a cold damp dungeon that she and her children tried to avoid. After conducting our free assessment and diagnosing Luella’s crawlspace needs; we introduced her to our patented CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system. She was shocked to learn what a difference the CleanSpace would make in her home.

The CleanSpace encapsulation product is a 20mm thick plastic lining that completely seals off the crawl space from the grim elements it faces below. We also determined the cement block supports under Luella’s home were no longer stabilizing her home. To supplement the CleanSpace and support her home we installed six Smart Jacks. The Smart Jack is a supplemental support system for crawl space applications. The Smart Jack effectively supports sagging beams and floor joists caused by, a length of span greater than spanning capability, floor load increased after construction, exceeding design values, and weakening over time due to high moisture and rot. After the installation of the CleanSpace system Luella told us she wished she would have had this transformation done years ago. Thanks to the hard work and efforts of our team, our new friend no longer thinks of her crawlspace as the terrible place it once was.
