Before & After Photos

The crawl space in this Baldwin, MI cottage was not a place you wanted to be. It was wet and growing mold, giving the area an overall damp feeling. Since crawl spaces are the lowermost points of a home, the "Stack Effect" explains that air flows in your home from bottom to top, meaning that the mold in the crawl space can be easily breathed in by those upstairs, causing a serious problem.

The best solution in this case was to install a liner to seal off the space. Not just any liner, however, a CleanSpace liner. CleanSpace is a durable liner that stops water vapor and allows for drainage to the sump pump. As an added benefit, this liner has an antimicrobial additive in the material, preventing mold growth. This liner was the perfect solution to transform this crawl space into a healthy, usable space.  

In 2018 Jeff S. gave us a call when he noticed his cottage was emitting a musty smell. After searching for the culprit of the stench, Jeff discovered the source — his crawl space! We brought a team in to install a CleanSpace liner to help minimize the moisture while improving airflow and eliminating the smell. 

To combat the mold, we encapsulated the area with the Clean Space Vapor Barrier system. The system is made up of liners that prevent water and dirt from affecting the rest of the home by eliminating unwanted dampness. Mold, critters, and other pests require water to survive but our state-of-the-art liners seal away all moisture. Other benefits of the Vapor Barrier include increasing home value, providing warmth, sealing odors, and more!

Paul called when he and his siblings wanted to take care of the problems in their mom's crawl space. The crawl space had vents and didn't have a sump pump, so mold and moisture problems were pervasive.

We encapsulated the crawl space with CleanSpace vapor barrier and installed a Smart Sump pump and a SaniDry dehumidifier, as well as closing the vents and putting better doors on the entrances, in order to seal off the crawl space from ambient moisture issues.

Our customers Lynn & Eugene from Houghton Lake, MI were suffering the effects of a cold and moldy dungeon below their home. The couple tried to lay down a layer of plastic to minimize their problem. To their dismay, the effort did very little to improve the circumstances. Lynn & Eugene grew tired of watching their home’s energy bills soar and began growing concern about mold growth.

Upon visiting the couple’s home and assessing their personal crawlspace needs, we devised a solution consisting of our unique CleanSpace crawlspace encapsulation system to resolve the cold and mold in the crawlspace. The CleanSpace product is a cutting edge thick durable plastic lining that fully seals off the crawlspace from the harsh elements it faces below. Next, we removed all of the moldy insulation from our new friends’ home and we replaced it with spray foam insulation that will not leave the couple susceptible to mold growth. Almost instantly Lynn & Eugene began seeing the drop in their energy bills. Eugene said he regrets not having his crawl space addressed years ago. Don’t put off addressing your crawl space concerns, call us today for a free inspection!

Ronald realized his dirt floor crawl space was allowing water into his home. He worried it could be causing the smell in his living room, so he called Ayers for help. We sent a crew to his home to suggest a solution and they recommended CleanSpace. Installed entirely in one piece to the floors and walls of the crawl space and antimicrobial-lined, CleanSpace is designed to prevent moisture and mold growth. Ronald is excited to have a dry crawl space!
