Innovative Basement Waterproofing & Crawl Space Repair in Sawyer, MI

SilverGlo Walls and CleanSpace Team Up in Sawyer, MI

Our Energy Savings Package is the perfect combination for customers looking to be more energy efficient. Much of your home’s air quality is a direct result of the condition of your crawl space. To prevent that air quality from being tarnished, it's necessary to keep humidity and moisture out and insulate the space from extreme temperatures. Unfortunately for this Sawyer, MI home, concrete block walls and dirt floors (like those in the before picture) offer very little resistance when it comes to water, air, and outside temperatures.

The crew was able to change all of that with SilverGlo wall insulation and the CleanSpace vapor barrier – two of the products included in our Energy Savings Package. The SilverGlo walls seen in the after photo will reflect heat back to its source, keeping the crawl space cool or warm depending on the season. CleanSpace is a durable plastic liner that won’t be penetrated by moisture. With the package working together, this home will save a bundle on their heating and cooling costs.

CleanSpace Encapsulates a Sawyer, MI Crawl Space For a Sale

When this customer started thinking about putting her house on the market, she knew she would have to do something about the mess in her crawl space. As you can see in the before photo, the moisture that was getting into the crawl space had caused quite a few problems. The tarp that was supposed to be protecting the crawl space was covered with water, debris was everywhere, and the piers and walls were water stained.

To solve this problem, the crew installed the SmartSump (see after photo) to pump out water and encapsulated the crawl space with the moisture barrier CleanSpace. CleanSpace is the white liner that covers everything in the crawlspace including the piers, walls, and floor. The sump pump will collect all the moisture that doesn’t get through the barrier and direct it out through the discharge line. Selling this home will be much easier when potential customers see the completely encapsulated crawl space, instead of the pit that it used to be.

Our customer called with a soft spot in her floor that made her worry about the state of the crawl space. We encapsulated the crawl space with CleanSpace vapor barrier, which will protect it from water damage (which can cause soft spots by warping support beams) and installed a new door cover and a SaniDry dehumidifier to keep the space dry.
