Before & After Photos

Dirt crawl spaces with a musty smell are a pretty common problem we tackle here at Ayers. So, what makes the crawl space so damn and unpleasant?  Moisture from the ground. Soil naturally contains some water, but as the soil dries up in the crawl space, it releases that moisture in the form of water vapor. Along with groundwater leakage, the water in the crawl space contributes to humidity, which is where mold grows. These mold spores are carried through the air, and since we all know air rises, it’s carried upstairs.

The best way to eliminate water vapor in your crawl space is to encapsulate it. CleanSpace, and thick, antimicrobial crawl space liner seals off the space from the earth. Its bright white color also helps the space feel brighter. CleanSpace not only provides a vapor barrier, but also transforms the crawl space into a healthy, usable area.

This crawl space was problematic for several reasons: the dirt floor (which naturally contains water) was evaporating moisture in the space, and the block walls also readily let in moisture and air through the joints. THe moisture in the space took a toll on the insulation causing it to hang in many areas. Encapsulating the space with CleanSpace was the best option to not only eliminate moisture, but brighten up the space.

CleanSpace is a durable liner made of cord reinforced polyester, also manufactured with an antimicrobial additive. It’s installed on the floor and the walls to seal off the space from the earth, and provides a barrier to water vapor and prevents the growth of mold. Coupled with spray foam insulation to seal smaller spaces, CleanSpace transforms this crawl space into a dry, bright, and usable space.

Homeowners had water seeping into their basement so they called our team. We installed the CleanSpace Basement Finishing Wall System to prevent any more water intrusion. Using a poly sheet material to completely cover basement foundation walls this system acts as a vapor and moisture barrier. The material is waterproof, stain resistant and can be applied over many different types of surfaces.

Kathy was hoping to get her crawl space repaired with an efficient support system and encapsulation so she called up Ayers. After we conducted a free inspection it was determined she needed CleanSpace along with SmartJacks. CleanSpace was installed because this thick, durable plastic liner will run along the crawl space floor and protect it from mold or bacteria with its vapor barrier. The SmartJacks are steel columns connected to a solid base and support beam above to ensure the support of her home. These will lift her home to a level position as well. 

Now that Kathy has her crawl space sealed up and protected with a sturdy support system she no longer has to worry about sagging floors or other troubling issues!

A customer in Delhi Charter Township, MI called us about encapsulating/insulating their crawlspace. The floors of the home are cold and they were looking for a solution. We have a solution for them, CleanSpace. The CleanSpace is a white, durable liner that fixes to the walls and flooring. This is to provide a barrier from cold/moisture from entering your crawlspace. CleanSpace provided this family with their solution, it might help with yours.
