Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Phil's joists in his crawl space were being ruined by water damage. He called our team because he was worried about future settlement issues. Our team installed SmartJack, a system produced to halt your sagging floors. Floors above crawl spaces are vulnerable due to the moisture and soils in your crawl space. The Smart Jack system is a permanent fix and it uses steel columns, threaded rods and a solid base to address any issues your crawl space may introduce to your floors. Installing this system usually takes less than a day and it provides immediate stabilization.

The customer approached us at a home show for help with her crawl space. Her home's floors were cold and she suspected she was losing heat through the crawl space. She wanted to stop paying to heat the ground, and to have a more comfortable home.

As she suspected, the crawl space was a huge energy drain, allowing the cold ground to affect the house above it. We installed the CleanSpace vapor barrier system along with our Ultimate Energy Savings package - TerraBlock insulation on the floor and SilverGlo insulation on the walls, as well as rim joist foam to finish the job.

A homeowner in Richland Michigan needed help waterproofing her basement because she kept noticing water collecting inside of it. She gave us a call so she could receive our professional help. We drove to her house to give her a free estimate and noticed the crawl was not properly insulated from the outside environment. To fix that we installed our advanced CleanSpace technology. 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. Now this homeowner will not have to worry about a wet crawl space ever again.

For the past few years, Annette and Thomas have had a drafty house. Their home is especially cooler in the winter because their crawl space isn't properly sealed off. So our team insulated their rim joists. Small cracks and seams can exist around rim joists, but after insulating them all of those cracks are sealed off. Now airflow is restricted keeping outside air out and inside air in. Annette and Thomas will no longer have to worry about their home being cold during the long winter months in Michigan.

Donna attempted to fix her crawl space moisture issues by herself with a tarp she bought from the store. She quickly realized this tarp would not hold up well in the long run. It started collecting dirt and moisture, so she called Ayers for our crawl space solutions. Our system design specialists inspected the area and concluded CleanSpace would do the trick. CleanSpace prevents water vapor from entering through the soil and crawl space walls. Before installing the airtight plastic liner, we place our drainage matting on the floor. The dimpled mat allows water to flow under the liner to a sump pump in the crawl space floor. The antimicrobial liner prevents the growth of mold or bacteria. Donna is over the moon with the professional new look of her crawl space!
