The CleanSpace Protects an Elmira, MI Home Against the Harsh Elements

Richard D., a homeowner in Elmira, MI began worrying about his wet and moldy crawlspace. He began searching online for crawlspace repair experts, but then his friend told him about Ayers and his search quickly ended. One afternoon, our appointment center received a call from Richard. He wanted to know how we could transform his crawlspace into dry, energy efficient space.

Upon sending a System Design Specialist to Richard’s home, we probed his crawlspace needs and prescribed our CleanSpace crawlspace encapsulation system. The CleanSpace encapsulation product is a 20mm thick durable plastic lining thatfully seals off the crawlspace from the harsh elements it faces below. Plus, the CleanSpace is made with anti-microbial properties that prevent mold growth, so Richard can be certain his mold problem has been permanently solved. To supplement the CleanSpace, we used spray foam insulation to ensure maximum energy efficiency and comfort in his home. Thanks to this crawlspace encapsulation system, our new friend Richard can rest assured knowing their crawlspace is a mold-free and dry environment.

Harbor Springs Home Saves Energy (and Floors!) with CleanSpace

This home is only used seasonally, but every year upon returning, the homeowners noticed that it smelled...musty. Eventually, they realized the floors weren't quite level and there were some soft spots and well as cold spots. These are all signs of a leaking crawl space and are actually pretty easy to fix - if you call us, that is.

We installed a SmartDrain to deal with any future plumbing leaks and a SaniDry CX air system to manage the humidity. Then, because they were concerned with saving energy, we installed the CleanSpace encapsulation system (including drainage matting) as well as TerraBlock insulation on the floor and SilverGlo wall insulation on exterior walls.

Maintaining a Dry Crawl Space

In order to maintain a healthy, mold-free crawl space area it’s important that the space is moisture-free. Crawl spaces are often damp which allows mold and mildew to grow. Our job is to eliminate the moisture so that your crawl space remains without pests, odor, mold, and more! This client requested help with restoring his crawl space to its original dry state. With the help of our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier Liner and SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier we were able to leave him and his family with long-lasting results!  

Harbor Springs, MI Dirt Crawl Space Cleaned and Sealed

Denise B.'s dirt crawl space had several issues that stemmed from their unsealed, uninsulated walls and floor. Cold air and moisture freely entered the crawl space which made for cold floors upstairs. We added a drainage matting to the entire floor which works on even or uneven surfaces and captures water that may enter the crawl space. We then installed a polyetherane CleanSpace crawl space liner on top which serves as a vapor barrier. 

Musty Smell Solved With CleanSpace in Harbor Springs, MI

Paul noticed a musty smell coming from his two crawl spaces and called us to come and take a look. Our system design specialist found evidence of standing water, and that both crawl spaces had sand floors which can contribute greatly to moisture in the air, and create that musty smell. Our team installed discharge lines to carry any water away from the house, and CleanSpace, a vapor barrier that will ensure that any exposed earth won't contribute to mold growth and unwanted smells. CleanSpace also gives a more finished look and, now that he doesn't have to worry about unwanted water, enables Paul to now use his crawl spaces as potential storage. Our team was able to work fast and complete the project so Paul can continue renting his house out in the summer.
