Before & After Photos

One look at the before picture of this crawl space, and you likely wouldn’t want to step foot in it. It’s cold, dark, and even worse—damp. The after picture shows the dramatic transformation of the space after the addition of SilverGlo insulation and a CleanSpace crawl space liner. SilverGlo comes in panels, and is manufactured with graphite particles, which makes it shiny. This isn’t just for looks, though; these particles resist heat conduction and reflect heat back into the crawl space.

CleanSpace, unlike other crawl space liners, is extremely thick and durable. Installed on the floor and even the walls of the crawl space seals of the home from the earth, keeping moisture out. Eliminating moisture in the crawl space not only keeps it dry, but prevents mold from growing, and keeps the air clean.

This dramatic transformation not only visibly brightens the space, but provides a barrier to moisture and mold, and keeps the space warm and energy efficient.

The moisture on the floor of the before photo had come through the cracks in the foundation walls. It was a newly purchased cottage on a lake, so water naturally ended up flowing towards the crawl space. To block it out, the crew installed the vapor barrier in the after photo. The CleanSpace vapor barrier is impenetrable by moisture, and since it can cover both the floor and walls, there’s nowhere for water to enter the crawl space. In fact, even the piers were wrapped with the barrier. CleanSpace is also inorganic meaning that water won't have any negative effects, like mold, on it. No matter how much water comes near this cottage crawl space, it won't have any more problems.

A customer that lives in Coldwater, Michigan had a basement counter that was taking a besating from the outside enviornment. Water was making its way through the basement with ease. Fortunately, we had just the fix. We installed our Cleanspace technology to do the job. CleanSpace is a 20 mil thick plastic liner that fits to the crawl space to completely seal the home from the earth. Polyester cord reinforcement allows for a lot of durability, to make it last longer than the home will. This liner also contains an antimicrobial additive to prevent mold. This liner should also be combined with CleanSpace vent covers to insulate and seal the air out. So, now water doesn't stand a chance to destroy this basement.

Homeowner Kathy was worried about the water intrusion in the crawl space of her home in Greenville, MI. The discharge from her sump pump was too short, causing water to back up into her home when the pump was in operation. To address these concerns, Kathy decided to work with Ayers to ensure her crawl space was protected for the long term. They installed CleanSpace, a vapor barrier that effectively encapsulates the crawl space, keeping moisture and water out. This system also directs any excess water to a newly extended sump pump discharge line, preventing water from cycling back into her home. Now, Kathy can rest easy knowing her crawl space is secure.

A customer in Saranac, MI had moisture problems in his crawl space, and moisture means mold. So we installed our CleanSpace technology in the crawl space. CleanSpace is a 20 mil thick plastic liner that fits to the crawl space to completely seal the home from the earth. Polyester cord reinforcement allows for a lot of durability, to make it last longer than the home will. This liner also contains an antimicrobial additive to prevent mold. Now that this crawlspace has CleanSpace technology, the homeowner won't have to worry about mold ever again.
