SmartSump Helps Make a Home Sale in Harrison, MI

This Harrison, MI home had just been put on the market when the owners were told that the crawl space would need to be dried out before the home could be sold. Looking for a solution that would satisfy both the inspector and buyers without breaking the bank, the owners gave Ayers a call.

To pump water out and keep it that way, the crew installed a SmartSump. The sump will collect any water that enters the crawl space and direct it outside for drainage. Before completing the job, the crew covered the drainage pipe seen in the after photo with gravel. The owners chose to go with the 1/3 horse power pump which is capable of pumping out 2,500 gallons per hour. With any water that passes through the dirt floor being swiftly removed, this crawl space will no longer hinder sales. 

Mold Infested Crawl Space in Harrison, MI

This customer was experiencing moisture and a musty smell coming from the crawl space. The walls are cinder block and there was noticeable mold growing. The customer really wanted the crawl space enclosed/encapsulated and that is exactly what we were able to do.

We installed the white CleanSpace but we also installed our drainage matting and SilverGlo insulation. All three of these make a great team to fix any wet crawl space. The drainage matting works to direct any water that comes in directly to the sump pump where it needs to be. The SilverGlo insulation is better than fiberglass insulation because it won't mold and moisture can't ruin it. The CleanSpace is bright, durable, inorganic and waterproof. It will make any crawl space come to life while making sure it stays dry and closed off to any outside element including those unwanted critters.

CleanSpace Restores Dark, Damp Crawl Space in Harrison, MI

This customer contacted our team of experts because she had recently bought her home and noticed her crawl space was wet and had a damp, musty smell coming from it. There was no sump pump and she really just wanted the entire area enclosed. 

We have just the system for what she needed. CleanSpace is a very thick plastic liner that is attached from the top of the walls, across the entire floor and wrapping all pillars too. This will completely seal off your home from the earth. The material is tear resistant so it can be walked on, have boxes stored on it and you don't have to worry about it ripping. The bright white color also makes this crawl space look new and not the dreaded area you used to have.
