Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Cold air was drifting through a customer’s home so he called our team. Small cracks and seams can exist around rim joists, but after insulating them all of those cracks are sealed off. So airflow is restricted keeping outside air out and inside air in. The customer will no longer have to worry about his home being cold during the long, cold winter months in Michigan.

Don't let your crawl space live up to the stereotype; get the CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system. CleanSpace is a 20 mil thick plastic liner that is fitted to your crawl space to entirely seal it off from the earth. A family in Fremont, MI had us install this system to ensure no moisture or cold air would get into their crawl space, leading to cold air and moisture entering their home from the floor up. In addition, CleanSpace is made with an antimicrobial, hindering the growth of mold. Goodbye gross, grimy crawl space -- hello CleanSpace.

This home in Fremont, MI had both a Michigan basement and a crawl space beneath it. The homeowners had noticed that the oak floors above the crawl space would sag the summer months, and they soon realized they had a problem.

Our System Design Specialist, Sean, visited the home to explain to the homeowners what might be causing this and how to prevent it. Often times, as moisture enters the crawl space, it causes the floor joists to rot, which makes the floors above sag. It’s crucial that moisture be kept out of the space to prevent this.

To support the sagging floors in the crawl space, we installed a SmartJack stabilizer. This zinc- coated beams was connected to the girder and tightened into place. SmartJacks help lift the floors above back to their original position.

In order to keep moisture out to prevent the rotting of the floor joists, it was necessary that we seal off the space from the earth. Using CleanSpace, an extremely durable crawl space liner, we did exactly this. The liner is even manufactured with an antimicrobial additive to prevent mold growth.

By giving this crawl space some attention by sealing it off and adding support for the floors, the homeowners can be sure that the floors above the space will be stable in the future. 

Tim knew there was water moisture in the crawl space beneath his home and needed to do something about it. He wasn't sure how to remedy the situation, so he called Ayers to learn about our waterproofing solutions. Our specialists visited his home to evaluate the situation and recommend a solution. They suggested installing CleanSpace, an antimicrobial-lined vapor barrier built to eliminate mold and moisture entry. CleanSpace is durable and ready to be stepped/walked on without compromising. Tim loves the new look of his crawl space!

Kevin had been struggling with water accumulating in his crawlspace, especially after heavy rains, due to his home’s close proximity to a lake. This led to unpleasant odors inside of his home. We addressed the moisture problem by installing a sump pump, CleanSpace liner, drainage matting, and extending the discharge line by 20 feet to prevent water from pooling in his yard. Kevin immediately noticed a significant improvement in the smell of his home and was thrilled with the results.
