Before & After Photos

A system design specialist of ours met with a Hale, MI homeowner over a year ago, but he wasn’t ready to commit just yet. As you can see in the before photo, the crawl space already had a tarp floor encapsulation and wall insulation, but unfortunately, those two weren’t getting the job done. When the crawl space showed no sign of improving, the homeowner called us again – ready to go ahead with the installation.

The solution seen in the after photo is our CleanSpace vapor barrier. CleanSpace is an inorganic, plastic liner that is impenetrable by moisture or vapor. The liner is tough enough to protect both the floors and wall without tearing from regular use. This crawl space now has a system it can depend on.

At Ayers no job is too big and in this case, no job is too small either. When Gail gave us a call concerning the smell rising from her 3-feet tall crawl space, our team of specialists were able to tackle the task in a matter of hours. 

We were able to combat the problem by installing CleanSpace liners in combination with the SaniDry Humidifier. The CleanSpace liner is a thick, durable white liner that resembles that of a pool liner. It traps any moisture in the air from penetrating the ground ultimately keeping it dry and mold-free. Pests and other bacteria are also blocked from entering through the liner. 

We also installed the SaniDry Humidifier, a high powered system that keeps the crawl space dry by sucking any remaining moisture out of the air. 

Trevor had noticed a high level of moisture in his crawlspace and was worried about mold growing. He called Ayers for an inspection and we knew CleanSpace Wall System would be perfect for Trevor's crawlspace. CleanSpace Wall System uses a thick plastic liner along crawlspace walls to keep them dry for decades longer. CleanSpace also has antibacterial properties that prevent mold and bacteria growth. Trevor never has to worry about mold growing and can breathe easy for years to come. 

The crawl space in this Baldwin, MI cottage was not a place you wanted to be. It was wet and growing mold, giving the area an overall damp feeling. Since crawl spaces are the lowermost points of a home, the "Stack Effect" explains that air flows in your home from bottom to top, meaning that the mold in the crawl space can be easily breathed in by those upstairs, causing a serious problem.

The best solution in this case was to install a liner to seal off the space. Not just any liner, however, a CleanSpace liner. CleanSpace is a durable liner that stops water vapor and allows for drainage to the sump pump. As an added benefit, this liner has an antimicrobial additive in the material, preventing mold growth. This liner was the perfect solution to transform this crawl space into a healthy, usable space.  

In 2018 Jeff S. gave us a call when he noticed his cottage was emitting a musty smell. After searching for the culprit of the stench, Jeff discovered the source — his crawl space! We brought a team in to install a CleanSpace liner to help minimize the moisture while improving airflow and eliminating the smell. 

To combat the mold, we encapsulated the area with the Clean Space Vapor Barrier system. The system is made up of liners that prevent water and dirt from affecting the rest of the home by eliminating unwanted dampness. Mold, critters, and other pests require water to survive but our state-of-the-art liners seal away all moisture. Other benefits of the Vapor Barrier include increasing home value, providing warmth, sealing odors, and more!
