Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

The customer called complaining of dampness and a musty smell at the point where the basement and crawlspace joined. The basement had flooded back in 2009 and since then had been leaking.

We installed a new SmartDrain sump pump and WaterGuard to drain the water properly from the basement, then encapsulated the crawl space using our CleanSpace system with drainage matting. A SaniDry dehumidifier finished the job. Now the basement AND crawl space are dry and usable spaces.

The homeowners in Grand Rapids, MI had a dirt crawl space. When a home has a dirt crawl space it allows a lot of water vapor to get into the crawl space air. The earth is damp, that dampness gets into the air, that air moves up into your home causing your home to be damp and humid as well. If your home and your crawl space are damp and humid that leads to higher energy bills and could lead to structural damages. 

The homeowner in Grand Rapids was noticing that his energy bills were going up & quickly realized that it was due his crawl space's dirt floors. They were letting all the humid, damp air into his home. Our professional team installed CleanSpace encapsulation system to save this homeowner from skyrocketing energy bills.

The CleanSpace system covers the floors and walls of your crawl space with a thick, durable plastic vapor barrier that protects your home from moisture, unwanted pests, and outside air. CleanSpace saved the homeowner money and now he does not have to worry! 

Our wonderful client Helen from Grand Rapids, MI had water entering into her crawl space with each rain storm she endured. Living in her dream home was slowly turning into a nightmare. Helen’s worry about mold growth became an eye opener to our friend that she needed to address her neglected crawl space. Helen’s trusted friend’s Sarah & Dan told her that they knew just the right contractor to help guide her, Ayers Basement Systems. That day we received our new friend’s call for help, and the journey to a dry crawl space began.

Upon examination of the issues at hand, our professionals sat down with Helen and addressed our concerns. One key concern was the lack of a sump pump. Together Helen and our team devised a dry crawl space solution consisting of our CleanSpace encapsulation system and a Smart Sump pump. The CleanSpace is made with anti-microbial properties that prevent mold growth, so Helen could be sure mold will not form on the encapsulation system. After the first few storms with her new system, Helen went down to see if the system had solved her problems. After seeing not a single drop of water had entered her crawl space, she went back up the stairs with a smile on her face. Like Helen, you don’t have to face your crawl space issues alone.

Our customer called with a crawl space that, even though it was small, was causing a huge headache. They suspected mold and moisture and knew the insulation was all falling down, leading to energy loss.

We used CleanSpace vapor barrier to encapsulate the crawl space and installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to mitigate ambient moisture.

Winter is a tough time for all of us, even our homes.  Cold temperatures are able to cause higher energy bills and cold feet due to improper crawlspace insulation.   Improper crawl space and insulation can costs hundreds of dollars in the span of a year; thousands over the life span of a home and it is cost effective to upgrade your crawlspace insultation in the long run.  To help save energy, reduce humidity, and reduce the amount of cold air entering your house, we recommend a crawl space upgrade with CleanSpace and SilverGlo.  CleanSpace is a white vapor barrier that is used to reduce humidity and keep those creepy animals out of your home and crawl space.  SilverGlo is wall insulation that helps keep any cold and humidity from entering your home.  With these two additions to your crawlspace, energy savings as well as reduced humidity and moderate temperatures make it well worth it.
