Before & After Photos

The homeowners noticed that lake water was getting into their crawl space at their cottage. Excess moisture in your crawl space supports the growth of mold, dust mites, insects and other unwanted pests. It may also cause structural damage to the frame of your home and degrade some forms of insulation. 

Our professional team knew that something needed to be done! Our CleanSpace encapsulation system is the perfect solution to combat water in your crawl space. The CleanSpace encapsulation system covers your floors and walls with a think, durable, plastic vapor barrier. This vapor barrier reduces moisture and humidity in the crawl space and helps seal out cold drafts in the winter. With the CleanSpace encapsulation system, the homeowner's crawl space was transformed into a clean, dry, attractive and energy efficient space. 

Harold hoped to rid his crawl space of the nasty mold and mildew. Our team looked at his crawl space and determined he needed our CleanSpace solution. CleanSpace is an antimicrobial liner installed on the crawl space ground and walls, encapsulating the area with an airtight seal. Its vapor barrier provides the necessary protection between the moist soil and the home. Water and other critters will no longer accumulate in this space and harbor the gross mold. Harold's crawl space will now remain protected for years to come!

This Quincy, MI, homeowner had battled basement moisture and water intrusion in his 1940s home for 35 years. The cold, damp basement made the home uncomfortable, and over time, the problem worsened. Ready for a permanent basement waterproofing solution, he contacted Ayers. Our team installed the CleanSpace wall system to encapsulate the leaky fieldstone walls, sealing out moisture. To further protect the basement, we added a WaterGuard drainage system to funnel any incoming water into a SuperSump Plus pump, safely directing it away from the home. A SaniDry dehumidifier was also installed to control basement humidity and ensure a dry, usable space. The homeowner was thrilled to have his long-standing wet basement issue resolved, and his home is now secure from future water damage and mold.

Kim and John were concerned about the damage water in their crawl space could do, once they noticed some coming in from hairline cracks in the wall. Their crawl space was small, but after meeting with one of our system design specialists, they knew that they needed to give the issue their attention.

Our team’s first step was to repair the cracks in the wall to prevent water from seeping in. Using FlexiSpan, a three-step process using flexible sealant, foam, and an impermeable membrane, the cracks were fixed. The next step was to encapsulate the space to stop water vapor from the floor and water that may come in at other points in the future.

A specially engineered multi-layered liner, CleanSpace, was also fixed to the walls in the crawl space. This white liner not only brightens up the space, but it’s durable and provides a vapor barrier, keeping the space clean and dry.

Rachelle has a swamp behind her home and her crawl space gets a musty smell in the summer. She called us to get the craw space encapsulated. We first laid down Drainage Matting to direct the flow of any water towards the sump pump to be expelled outside of the area. We then installed the CleanSpace Crawl Space Vapor Barrier to keep out humidity and water vapor. These will keep out water, smells, and pests that are unwanted in the crawl space to create the area a homeowner could be happy about!
