Before & After Photos

Water was leaking into this bank owned property through the basement walls and puddling on the floor. As you can see, the top half of the stone foundation was covered by the molding and failing fiberglass insulation which was offering little protection from the leaking walls behind it. The bottom half of the wall had a small retaining wall poured in front of it which was also allowing water to easily penetrate and leak down.

To create a barrier that would stop water from flowing into the basement, the crew removed the fiberglass insulation and replaced it with the foam spray, FrothPak. FrothPak is a waterproof insulation that can also be used to seal up leaks. For the retaining wall, the crew used the CleanSpace Wall Vapor Barrier  The plastic liner was installed to cover both the ledge and retaining wall, and it will allow water to drain behind the barrier. If water does continue to enter through the stone foundation, it will flow into a newly installed perimeter drainage system below (not pictured). With a full system like this working together, this basement will remain dry and will no longer need that gross fiberglass insulation.

This homeowner has water in the crawl space and it smells musty. He wants to water out and for thee area to be sealed off so it will be dry and clean. We first laid down drainage matting which has dimples in it so water can flow under it and be directed to the sump pump to be discharged. Next we installed the CleanSpace Liner which is a thick durable liner similar to a pool liner. This liner prevents water vapor and humidity from passing through. It also helps to keep your structure from rot and mold since the basement is kept dry. We also installed the SmartSump Crawl Space Sump Pump System. This is the ideal solution because it was designed for crawl spaces and can provide all the protection you need from leaks and floods. To help keep the moisture out of the crawl space, we installed the SaniDry Sedona which is a small dehumidifier that is the perfect size for a small crawl space. It keeps dry air circulating throughout the area to ensure the crawl space is protected, leaving you with a clean, dry space. 

Don was looking to fix up his crawl space since he was worried about the protection of his home, so he started searching for solutions. He discovered Ayers had the right kind of solutions to offer so he gave us a call. We had a crew go out to his home for a free inspection. Our System Design Specialists advised him to have us install SmartJacks and CleanSpace and he decided to have us go forward with the installations!

First with SmartJacks, this is a supplemental support system meant for crawl spaces that will support sagging beams and floor joists. It is installed by attaching steel support beams to the floor joists and a sturdy base at the floor. We also installed CleanSpace which is a thick, durable plastic liner with a vapor barrier property that will protect his crawl space from excess water or moisture development. It is placed on the crawl space floor and along the walls. It is even made of antimicrobial material so it will prevent nasty mold or bacteria growth.

Don was happy to get his crawl space fixed up with permanent solutions he could trust!

Our team installed CleanSpace in a customer's home due to heavy water intrusion in his crawl space. CleanSpace is an uninterrupted vapor barrier. This material is applied to the walls and floor of your crawl space. It restricts all moisture, outside air, and pests from entering your crawl space. This system creates an energy-efficient crawl space, and it also gives your crawl space a clean finish.

We sent a crew to Christina's Sodus, Michigan, home to install a system to eliminate the cold drafts coming through her crawl space. We ultimately recommended CleanSpace as the best solution. CleanSpace is a waterproof liner with a vapor barrier, protecting the area from damp soil and outside pests. An airtight seal on the crawl space floor and walls is needed to prevent moisture buildup. A surplus in moisture leads to musty, moist air. Christina will no longer have to deal with these cold drafts of air protruding through her home!
