Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Greg's home had a dirt crawl space that needed encapsulation. He called Ayers for our crawl space repair expertise. We sent a system design specialist for an inspection. From this, our specialist was able to recommend CleanSpace. CleanSpace is a heavy-duty plastic liner manufactured with a vapor barrier that prevents moisture buildup. This liner is installed on the crawl space floor and walls, shielding the area from critters, mold, and moisture. Unlike a tarp, this solution is permanent and will not collect water or dirt over time. Greg is over the moon with the stunning transformation!

While having a concrete crawl space may be a step above a dirt space, it still doesn’t stop water vapor from the floor or walls. This was exactly the case in this Augusa, MI home, and they needed a solution. Luckily, we had it.

Our team installed CleanSpace, a multilayer, durable plastic liner that stops water vapor and allows for drainage to the sump pump. As an added bonus, it also has an antimicrobial additive in the material to prevent mold growth on the liner. Installing a TripleSafe sump pump at the lowest spot in the space means that any water vapor is collected here and immediately pumped out of the crawl space. This pump is very reliable in that it sports 3 pumps in one liner, including one that’s battery operated, so the sump works even if one pump can’t keep up, or if the power goes out.

The before photo shows where the leaking water had damaged, discolored, and allowed mold growth on this crawl space’s walls. Making things even worse, the leaking water had also caused musty smells to the crawl space. In the after photo, you can see the solution we provided. CleanSpace is a plastic vapor barrier that was used to cover the dirt floor crawl space. Together with the SilverGlo Wall Insulation and Froth Pak foam that are covering the walls in the after photo, water will be kept out from this crawl space permanently. 

Our Smart Jack system adds strength and stability to the places where your home needs it most. 

The Smart Jack system replaced the DIY "fix" of using wood blocks to maintain the structure of the home. In general, wood blocks are not a solution, they're a band aid that ignores the real problem. 

Our process creates a solid foundation for the home to sit on. The weight of the home becomes evenly distributed, the steel  beams and columns provide strength, and you no longer need to worry. For more information, check out our photo gallery on this job. 

A husband and wife called us about their crawlspace that was wet and gross. We drove to their property to solve the issue. After inspection we decided that CleanSpace technology would be perfect for waterproofing this crawlspace.  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. These homeowners should never worry about their crawl space ever again.
