Before & After Photos

This crawl space in Rose City, MI would get lots of water coming in during those spring showers. We went through and installed our CleanSpace system and a sump pump. The CleanSpace will make sure that no outside elements can get in and the sump pump will pump the water out: the perfect combination to keep your basement dry.

Mary, a former librarian, has had a wet crawl space for years. The home was built in the 50s, and when it rained heavily, standing water would accumulate. She called Ayers for an inspection, and our crew determined that she would need CleanSpace Wall System and a SandiDry Sedona dehumidifier. The librarian she is, Mary did heavy research before ultimately choosing Ayers. 

CleanSpace Wall System is a moisture barrier that uses a thick plastic liner along crawl space walls to keep them dry and last decades longer. It also has antibacterial properties that prevent mold and bacteria growth. Damp air takes more energy to heat and cool. Cutting down on the moisture in the crawl space, in turn, will cut down on how much it costs to heat or cool the home. The SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier automatically removes up to 100 pints of water a day from the air in the home’s crawl space. This system circulates the now dry air through the basement and automatically removes the leftover water so you don’t have to.   

Mary was thrilled to be able to finally get this taken care of. She was more than satisfied with the work done by our crew and no longer has to worry about water accumulating ever again.

John and Susan getting older and wanted to get a ranch, so they just moved into their new Bay City, MI home. Before they began on any cosmetic home improvement projects, they wanted to get the crawl space checked. Susan has been been smelling something musty and moldy since they moved in and it's been bothering her allergies. They called Ayers for an inspection. Our crew determined that they would first need to clear out major dirt and debris from the crawl space, then install CleanSpace and a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier.

John and Susan could instantly breathe easier and were overjoyed that the musty smell in the house disappeared. The job went off without a hitch and the couple are thrilled to begin making their new house a home. 

Sometimes you just know something is wrong, even without obvious symptoms. This was the case with our customer in Ypsilanti, who called with a problem crawl space. But the culprit wasn't flooding, or mildew, or even cold floors. It was dust.

There were little signs of all the others, of course, but their major impetus for calling was the excessive amount of dust that seemed to be in the house at all times. They were concerned for their health and the health of their six dogs.

So we checked it out, and sure enough, the vented crawl space was the dust culprit. Dust (and water, and bugs, and who knows what else) would enter through the vents, then travel through the ducts to the rest of the house.

We encapsulated the crawl space with our CleanSpace vapor barrier system and installed SilverGlo insulation panels to protect the crawl space from the elements, and the house above from the crawl space. And to make sure the job was complete, we sealed off those pesky vents with our Everlast Crawl Space Vent Covers.

John's crawl space was in rough shape. It had a dirt floor, weak rotting support structures, and no encapsulation. He decided it was time to call Ayers for a permanent solution. The inspection we conducted of the crawl space helped our professionals determine the best recommendations. We suggested CleanSpace for encapsulation and SmartJacks for better support. CleanSpace is a heavy-duty liner made of waterproof antimicrobial material. The vapor barrier property it holds will prevent moisture buildup that leads to mold or bacteria. Then we installed SmartJacks to provide foundation support. This solution is a supplemental support system for crawl space applications meant to support sagging beams and floor joists. SmartJacks consist of a solid base installed in the subfloor and steel extendable columns. John is thrilled with the stellar transformation and protection these solutions provide!
