Before & After Photos

Don & Cheryl, homeowners from Atlanta, MI were experiencing the effects of a cold damp crawlspace below their home. The couple began seeing the formation of mold and their concern began to grow rapidly. Don searched online for crawlspace repair experts and almost immediately found us. Don & Cheryl read many reviews and felt confident calling us to provide them with solutions for their crawlspace. One afternoon, our appointment center received a call from the couple. They informed us of their desire to transform their crawlspace into dry, energy efficient space.

Upon going to Don & Cheryl’s home and assessing their crawlspace needs, we prescribed our CleanSpace crawlspace encapsulation system. The CleanSpace encapsulation product is a 20mm thick durable plastic lining that fully 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 our new friends can be confident their mold problem has been permanently solved. To supplement the CleanSpace, we also installed the CleanSpace drainage mat to ensure maximum water drainage to the already existing sump pump. Don & Cheryl also elected for us to install the SaniDry Sedona, a high-performance dehumidifier and filtration system. In our new friends’ crawlspace, the Sedona will help prevent moisture and reduce musty odors. Thanks to this crawlspace encapsulation system, Don & Cheryl can rest assured knowing their crawlspace is a mold-free and dry environment.

This homeowner has begun to notice some moisture build-up in their crawlspace. Nothing major yet, but even the smallest amount of water can turn into big problems. In order to fix this issue and avoid further problems in the future, we needed to encapsulate this crawlspace.

Inside the Basement Systems encapsulation system is the CleanSpace liner. This is a plastic sheet that is designed to permanently keep away any moisture and air. It is placed completely over the walls and floor, creating a constant blockage to anything outside of it.

Another problem that is common with crawlspaces is cold air. If cold air gets into your crawlspace, it will obviously make the crawlspace cold. Due to the stack effect however, that cold air will travel throughout your entire home, causing you to use more heat. Luckily, our SilverGlo insulation on the block walls helps reflect heat back into the home, making floors warmer and heating cost lower.

Not only will this homeowner have a healthy crawlspace, but their entire home will be able to maintain a healthy environment.

Michigan winters can be brutal especially Up North. However, they’re inevitable so the best thing to do is to stay prepared. Homeowners Doug and Sandy were concerned about their crawlspace when they noticed the lack of insulation throughout the area. Having a well-insulated crawlspace ensures that your pipes do not freeze or burst during the cold months, ultimately protecting your structure from mold and rot. To help the Atlanta, Michigan couple, Systems Design Specialist Levi and his team installed our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier Liner. The thick, pool liner material acts as a barrier preventing water vapor and humidity from passing through. In combination with the CleanSpace Liner, the SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier can remove up to 100 pints of moisture per day and automatically drains to the WaterGuard system. 

Lastly the crew needed to tackle the old fiberglass insulation in the ceiling. We see this type of insulation in many homes and in most cases the material becomes a problem in the future. When fiberglass insulation becomes wet or damp it does not insulate as well as dry insulation. The weight from the moisture will pull it from the ceiling, leaving It messy and scattered across the perimeter. To combat the issue, we chose to insulate around Doug and Sandy’s pipes with our Froth-Pak Spray Insulation. The spray insulation is quick to install, made from inorganic and doesn’t absorb ambient moisture. 

Trevor was the elder of his church and sought to encapsulate the crawl space. Trevor contacted us at Ayers Basement Systems, and an inspection was set up and conducted. The team determined that water was leaking through the foundation and that CleanSpace would be the best solution! CleanSpace utilizes a heavy-duty plastic liner that encapsulates the entire space creating a vapor barrier. After installing the liner, any water seeping into the crawl space will funnel behind the liner and directly to the sump pump!

Barry was having trouble with mold and cold temperatures in his crawl space. This indicates that Barry's' space is not energy efficient and susceptible to outside elements. As a remedy, our team installed CleanSpace. CleanSpace is plastic sheet material used as a vapor barrier to restrict all moisture, outside air, and pests from entering your crawl space. Not only does this system create an energy-efficient crawl space, but it also gives your crawl space a clean finish. It is applied to the floors and walls to create that uninterrupted barrier to restrict air movement and control the temperature in the crawl space. With CleanSpace, Barry won't have to worry about high energy bills or any mold in his crawl space.
