Before & After Photos

The crawlspace in the before photo had been dealing with quite a few moisture issues. Water would leak in through the concrete walls or through the dirt floor. Both are very porous and make it easy for moisture to cause foundation problems. The solution in the after photo is our CleanSpace system. CleanSpace is an impenetrable vapor barrier that won’t allow leaking water to pass through. CleanSpace is durable and can be used to cover both floor and wall, as seen in the after photo. The liner will prevent moisture from ever entering again.

When the dirt and debris began to take over a customer's crawl space in Battle Creek, Mi, they knew it was time to call Ayers.

The first step of the project was to remove the dirt and build-up that had made itself at home. With the crawl space cleared out, CleanSpace was then installed, as shown in the after picture. CleanSpace is a white, durable, vapor barrier that works to keep out any moisture or mold. With CleanSpace in place, spray foam was used to seal off any small gaps in the corners or seams of the walls that traditional fiberglass insulation could not cover. 

Humidity problems in two large crawl spaces below this old farm house were creating real issues. Sometimes visitors to the home were even suffering from allergic reactions. Rooms were also very cold in the winter. In order to insulate the walls, we used a spray foam so that we could effectively seal in all the nooks and crannies. Then we put our durable CleanSpace vapor barrier over the top and sealed the top and bottom in order create an effective encapsulation and keep humidity levels down. Finally, a SaniDry XP dehumidifier helped to keep humidity levels in a safe range.   

Jim B. has a lake house in Battle Creek, MI that was experiencing constant dampness in its crawl space. This can create the perfect environment for mold to grow, mildewy smells to live, and more. This said, Jim needed a solution.

We installed our patented CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system. CleanSpace is a 20mm thick plastic lining that keeps crawl spaces dry and free of elements surrounding your crawl space. CleanSpace also seals air leaks to guard your home against cold air coming in through your floor. And as a cherry on top, the CleanSpace system is made with anti-microbial properties that prevent mold growth. 

The homeowners in Battle Creek, MI had a crawl space that was damp year round, especially during the summer months. Because of this damp crawl space they were noticing that their home started to develop a musty and mildew smell.

This meant that mold was forming in the crawl space because of the dampness and the moldy air was started to come into the home. This could cause allergies or any number of health problems for the family living in the home. 

Our professional team decided that the CleanSpace encapsulation system needed to be installed in their crawl space. The CleanSpace system covers the crawl space floors and walls with a thick, durable, plastic vapor barrier. This vapor barrier isolates your home from the earth keeping outside air, moisture and unwanted pests away.
