Before & After Photos

Water was entering a customer's home through his basement walls. Tired of worrying about his basement flooding, he called our team and we installed the CleanSpace Basement Finishing Wall System. This system utilizes a poly sheet material to completely cover basement foundation walls and act as a vapor and moisture barrier. The material is waterproof, stain resistant and can be applied over many different types of surfaces. This system immediately put a stop to all water intrusion in this customer’s basement.

Brian and Kayla bought a forever home up north in Traverse City Michigan. They have a basement that is half concrete and half exposed dirt- the basement kind of converts into a crawl space halfway through. Kayla has allergies and had been having a problem with the dust in the home. They wanted to seal off the dirt area to create a clean space. We used CleanSpace Crawl Space Vapor Barrier to seal off the crawl space half of the basement. This will keep out humidity, pests like bugs or rodents, and water vapor. It also has an antimicrobial additive to prevent the growth of mold in the basement. On top of the liner keeping the space clean and dry, we installed the SaniDry XP basement dehumidifier that won't take up a bunch of space. It blows dry air continuously through the area to keep it dry while also filtering the air to help the family breathe easy!

Kyle noticed sitting water and mold growing in his crawl space. He hadn't thought about this area of his home but was disgusted at the sight and knew he needed it fixed. After calling Ayers to hear about our waterproofing solutions, we sent our experts to evaluate and suggest a solution. They installed CleanSpace, a vapor barrier constructed of antimicrobial material, and applied it to the walls and floors to reduce moisture and eliminate mold growth. Kyle loves his dry crawl space!

The rotting wood in the before photo of this crawl space was the result of moisture seeping in. Not only had that the moisture rotted the wood, it also soaked the insulation and caused it to hang down. The owner wasn’t aware of the problem until he had an inspector out to the home before he sold it. Since the owner was planning on selling the home and needed a permanent solution, our system design specialist set him up with the CleanSpace Barrier System seen in the after photo. The CleanSpace System is a full vapor system that encapsulates both the floor and walls. Not pictured are the SilverGlo Wall Insulation panels behind the barrier that will replace the previously hanging insulation.  Together they're the perfect combination to keep moisture completely out of the crawl space. 

Karen and Bill T. called because they noticed an old, musty smell coming from their crawl space. The main problem was that their space had a dirt floor, which contributes to a high moisture level. If the space is not sealed off from the earth, water vapor will continuously enter. This can lead to mold, rot and that unfortunate musty smell. Air also rises due to the stack effect, meaning any water vapor, musty smell, or mold spores will travel up into your home bringing moisture and mold spores with it. Our team visited their home and knew that encapsulating the crawl space with CleanSpace was the answer to their problem. The CleanSpace liner is extremely durable and waterproof to prevent any source of water from getting in whether it is through a leak or evaporation. The liner also has an antimicrobial additive to stop mold growth, which is likely the cause of the musty smell in the space. Karen and Bill will no longer have to worry about the effects of their crawl space!
