This home in Vermontville, MI has a dirt floor crawl space that was an addition built underneath a porch. The homeowners contacted us looking to insulate and encapsulate the area. Both of these are very beneficial to the home to keeping the home comfortable year-round—with encapsulation providing a vapor barrier and insulation to prevent mold and moisture problems.
SilverGlo insulation was installed in this crawl space to provide a radiant barrier. Made with tiny graphite particles that reflect heat, this lowers the material's conductivity, reflecting heat back into the space. This not only keeps the cold out of the space, but also maximizes energy savings.
After our team insulated the crawl space, we installed a CleanSpace liner across the floor. Since the liner is 20mil thick made from many layers of polyester cord reinforcement, it’s durable and can be walked on. Installing CleanSpace provides a barrier for water vapor, and its antimicrobial additive prevents mold growth.
Matt called us because he had water and moisture in the crawl space. There was no sump pump and no mold but he wanted to make sure no mold started to grow. We used Drainage Matting to direct water to the sump pump to be expelled outside of the home. The TripleSafe sump pump keeps water out even in cases of a pump malfunction or a power outage. The vapor barrier, CleanSpace, prevents water vapor, pests, and humidity from entering the crawl space. It also prevent mold growth to keep the space safe and clean. Lastly, the SaniDry Sedona is a small dehumidifier that keeps the crawl space dry while also filtering the air.
This customer called us out to have a look at his crawl space. The problem with using common plastics as a floor barrier is that they aren’t guaranteed to last. Systems like these tear easily, leaving the space unprotected and looking like a mess. If only there was an energy efficient solution that would make this crawl space good as new while also improving the home…
Our complete crawl space repair system uses a combination of different products - SilverGlo walls, TerraBlock floor insulation, and CleanSpace vapor barrier - all working together to make your crawlspace the best it can be. The SilverGlo walls and TerraBlock floor act as insulation to improve the energy efficiency of your home and provide another layer between the crawl space and outside world. The CleanSpace liner is the icing on the cake. It is attached to the walls and covers the entire floor to encapsulate the area with a durable, mold resistant material. With the entire crawlspace insulated and protected, this homeowner will now save himself from heat loss and future repairs. Let us know if your crawlspace could use saving, too.
After buying this house from his parents, this Grand Ledge, MI customer began to notice something strange happening to the crawl spaces. Water was building up behind the walls and leaking into the dirty crawl space. He gave us a call asking about a complete encapsulation to dry out his crawl space and keep it that way. Since there was already standing water in the crawl space, the crew needed to give it a way to escape. Our crew installed drainage matting to handle the issue. Drainage matting rests on the floor of the crawl space and will keep water from having a chance to puddle up by directing the flow to a drain. Once the matting was in place, the crew went about encapsulating the entire crawl space – floor, walls and all – with the CleanSpace. The plastic liner won’t allow moisture or humidity to permeate back into this crawl space.
One afternoon we received a call from Dave, a homeowner in Grand Ledge, MI. He informed us that he was experiencing water seepage through the foundation walls in his crawlspace. This became a major concern for Dave as it led to significant moisture issues throughout his home. Dave had seen Ayers Basement Systems commercials on TV and had personally seen crawlspaces encapsulated by our crawl space experts! This made him very motivated to have his crawlspace encapsulated by us. After assessing Dave’s crawlspace needs, we installed our patented CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system to address the current issues being faced below his home. The CleanSpace encapsulation product is a 20mm thick plastic lining that completely seals off the crawl space from the harsh elements it faces below. To supplement the CleanSpace, we also installed FrothPak rim joist foam insulation. This will increase the energy efficiency of Dave’s home and help lower his energy costs. With this CleanSpace encapsulation system in place, we were able to turn this wet crawlspace into a healthy, dry and usable space.
To ensure professional installation and superior service we carefully created an international network of over 350 trusted basement contractors.
