Before & After Photos

This Haslett, MI home was built right next to a lake, and as a result, the crawl space had been dealing with a lot of moisture issues. The high water table caused the dirt floor in the before photo to be constantly moist, with occasional standing water depending on the season. The owner wasn’t sure how bad the crawl space had gotten because she hadn’t looked at it in quite a while. However, she did have a friend who helped install some insulation down there and thought that might be a small trace of mold there too. The CleanSpace liner in the after photo will do away with both moisture and mold. It is impenetrable by moisture, and since mold can’t grow without moisture, it won’t be a worry either. Even the damp dirt floor will be completely unnoticeable with the CleanSpace system installed.

The water moisture in Tamara's crawl space was causing a musty smell to waft upstairs through her vents. She was unsure how to fix the problem, so she researched her options and called Ayers for help. We sent a crew of specialists to her home to evaluate and provide a solution. The team recommended installing CleanSpace, a vapor barrier constructed of antimicrobial-lined material to prevent mold growth. CleanSpace is also continuously applied to the crawl space's floor and walls to eliminate moisture entry. Tamara can breathe freely in her home!

Tim and Tabitha have lived in their Bancroft, Michigan, home for about seven years with their 12 kids. They were looking to convert their damp basement into something that is dry, clean, and livable. They also want to use the space for storage without their belongings getting wet. Tim's allergies have been acting up as well due to the moisture and mold in the basement. Upon inspection, our crew determined that the family would need CleanSpace and WaterGuard to stop the moisture from seeping in and help Tim's allergies.   

CleanSpace is a moisture barrier that uses a thick plastic liner along basement 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 basement, in turn, will cut down on how much it costs to heat or cool the home.

WaterGuard is a subfloor waterproofing system that collects water that leaks through the walls and keeps dirt away from the foundation. It is installed along the perimeter of the basement and on top of the footing of the foundation. Concrete is poured on top and regular flooring can be placed on top.   

Tim and Tabitha were absolutely thrilled with how the installation went. Tim's allergies have been much better since we completed the job and they are delighted to be able to use the space for storage and give the basement a purpose. 

Dirty, damp crawl spaces don't stand a chance against our patented CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system! That's why this family in South Bend, IN called us here at Ayers. CleanSpace completely sealed off their crawl space from the earth, preventing moisture or cold air from entering. In addition, the anti-microbial component in CleanSpace adds an extra barrier against mold growth. This family can now have peace of mind knowing that their crawl space is clean and dry. 

Tamara's basement in South Bend, IN had water seeping in, and she had already gone through so many troubles trying to fix the issue, to the point where she had multiple fans running at the same time to try and dry everything up. Luckily for Tamara, we have the CleanSpace system. CleanSpace is a 20 mil plastic liner designed to permanently prevent moisture, outside air and pests from getting into your basement and/or crawl space. Thanks to CleanSpace, Tamara will no longer have to worry about the moisture problem in her basement that had been haunting her for quite some time.
