CleanSpace Vapor Barrier Protects Traverse City, MI Crawl Space

The rotting wood in the before photo of this crawl space was the result of moisture seeping in. Not only had that the moisture rotted the wood, it also soaked the insulation and caused it to hang down. The owner wasn’t aware of the problem until he had an inspector out to the home before he sold it. Since the owner was planning on selling the home and needed a permanent solution, our system design specialist set him up with the CleanSpace Barrier System seen in the after photo. The CleanSpace System is a full vapor system that encapsulates both the floor and walls. Not pictured are the SilverGlo Wall Insulation panels behind the barrier that will replace the previously hanging insulation.  Together they're the perfect combination to keep moisture completely out of the crawl space.

Musty Crawl Space Fixed With CleanSpace in Traverse City, MI

Karen and Bill T. called because they noticed an old, musty smell coming from their crawl space. The main problem was that their space had a dirt floor, which contributes to a high moisture level. If the space is not sealed off from the earth, water vapor will continuously enter. This can lead to mold, rot and that unfortunate musty smell. Air also rises due to the stack effect, meaning any water vapor, musty smell, or mold spores will travel up into your home bringing moisture and mold spores with it. Our team visited their home and knew that encapsulating the crawl space with CleanSpace was the answer to their problem. The CleanSpace liner is extremely durable and waterproof to prevent any source of water from getting in whether it is through a leak or evaporation. The liner also has an antimicrobial additive to stop mold growth, which is likely the cause of the musty smell in the space. Karen and Bill will no longer have to worry about the effects of their crawl space!

Walls in Traverse City Straightened with PowerBrace Beams

Over time, many basements experience shifts in foundation due to natural dirt and settlement movement. This can lead to bowing and curved walls which leads to an unsafe foundation of the home. The Steel I-beams installed in this basement will work to counteract this movement. The PowerBrace system is unique as it can be tightened to help return the walls to their original, straight position. The beams are attached from the ceiling to the floor foundation and the beams are resistant to corrosion and rust.
