Before & After Photos

Lisa noticed water leaking into her crawl space through cracks in the floor and so she called Ayers for professional help. Our Ayers System Design Specialists determined that installing CleanSpace, SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier, along with our TripleSafe Sump Pump System would be a great solution.

CleanSpace is made of a thick plastic liner that will run along the crawl space. Its vapor barrier property protects against excess moisture. This excess moisture could lead to the growth of bacteria or mold. The SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier is installed to remove water in the air. The now dry air will circulate throughout the crawl space. Lastly we installed TripleSafe which has three pumps that all fit in one liner. The first pump does most of the work with keeping water out, the second is there for backup, and the third pump will turn on in power outages.

Lisa was relieved to have these water leaks taken care of!

These Hudson, MI customers were in the middle of a serious remodel. The groundwater around their home was causing a host of problems to the basement and crawl space. In an effort to save their lower levels from a watery grave, they had excavated the worst areas, added in a drainage system to the basement, and filled in as many of the leaking cracks as they could. The plan seemed to have worked for the basement, but the constant dampness had really affected the crawl space, as seen in the before photo. Not only were the floor joists starting to rot, the insulation was also coming down. That’s when the crew introduced the customers to our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System. Dirt floors allow moisture easy access to the crawl space, but with the CleanSpace system covering both the floors and the bottom portion of the walls, there is no entryway for moisture.

As you can see in the after photo, CleanSpace wasn’t the only product we installed. The SilverGlo Wall Panels will act as insulation and create another barrier that keeps leaking water from coming through the walls. With neither walls nor floor allowing water inside, this crawl space won’t have any more trouble with dampness. 

A low point where the sun porch met the foundation of this home was causing water to pool and leak into the crawl space. Leaks can cause problems ranging from mold to an unstable foundation, so it was important to reroute the water and waterproof the crawl space. 

40 feet of drain tile and a new chimney drain took care of the existing leak. Then we installed the CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system with drainage matting and SilverGlo insulation to keep the crawl space dry and even create some usable storage space.

Our customer called with a wet, cold basement that needed a lot of help. We installed a full perimeter of WaterGuard below-floor drainage system and a SuperSump pump with IceGuard and a LawnScape Outlet to deal with the water, then encapsulated the basement with CleanSpace vapor barrier as well as SilverGlo insulation panels. The difference speaks for itself.

A few years back, we helped an East Lansing, MI couple waterproof their basement. They were so happy with our work that when they noticed standing water in their crawl space, they gave us a call to see if we could help them out again. To keep water out, the crew installed a drainage matting and Cleanspace vapor barrier. The vapor barrier can be seen in the after photo. It’s the plastic white liner that encapsulating the crawl space. Underneath it, the drainage matting sits on the crawl space floor to keep water from puddling or standing in one place. If moisture does make it through the drainage matting, it won’t be able to penetrate the CleanSpace barrier, so this crawl space will remain dry. We love to hear that our past customers were pleased with our service, and we’re always more than happy to be there for them again.
