Before & After Photos

This Bangor, MI crawl space was taking on water, with moisture seeping in from the foundation walls and dirt floor. The result was a muddy, damp crawl space that became a breeding ground for mold under the customer's floorboards—posing risks to the home’s air quality and structural integrity.

Ayers stepped in with a complete crawl space waterproofing solution. Using the CleanSpace vapor barrier and a SaniDry dehumidifier, we encapsulated the area to prevent further moisture intrusion. Any water in the crawl space is now channeled to a reliable sump pump system, keeping the space dry and protected. With a much drier crawl space, the homeowners now have peace of mind knowing that mold, humidity, and water damage will no longer threaten their home.

This crawl space was seeing some moisture periodically so the homeowner was hoping to get the space encapsulated in order to protect against mold, rot, and variety of other potential problems down the road. We were able to help with just that, installing our CleanSpace vapor barrier throughout. This 20mil material is incredibly strong and difficult to tear, making it incredibly reliable. We also installed SilverGlo insulation the wall to increase energy efficiency spray foam in the rim joists to eliminate common entry points for moisture and humid air. Finally, we covered the vents with air tight vent covers eliminating a final access point for moisture and humidity. This crawl space should now be warmer, dryer, brighter, and safter in the years to come. 

Doug was tired of dealing with the musty odor coming from his dirty crawl space that was not sealed properly so he called Ayers hoping for a permanent fix. We had a crew come to his home for an inspection and from there it was concluded he needed CleanSpace. This is a thick, durable plastic liner that will cover his crawl space floor and walls protecting it from excess moisture and water. This excess moisture can build up and cause mold or bacteria to flourish. We also add a Drainage Matting which is a dimpled mat placed under the liner that will catch water and direct the flow to his drain and sump pump system.

Doug was happy to get his crawl space sealed up and protected; no more musty smells!

Our customer called with a soft spot in her floor that made her worry about the state of the crawl space. We encapsulated the crawl space with CleanSpace vapor barrier, which will protect it from water damage (which can cause soft spots by warping support beams) and installed a new door cover and a SaniDry dehumidifier to keep the space dry.

Our Energy Savings Package is the perfect combination for customers looking to be more energy efficient. Much of your home’s air quality is a direct result of the condition of your crawl space. To prevent that air quality from being tarnished, it's necessary to keep humidity and moisture out and insulate the space from extreme temperatures. Unfortunately for this Sawyer, MI home, concrete block walls and dirt floors (like those in the before picture) offer very little resistance when it comes to water, air, and outside temperatures.

The crew was able to change all of that with SilverGlo wall insulation and the CleanSpace vapor barrier – two of the products included in our Energy Savings Package. The SilverGlo walls seen in the after photo will reflect heat back to its source, keeping the crawl space cool or warm depending on the season. CleanSpace is a durable plastic liner that won’t be penetrated by moisture. With the package working together, this home will save a bundle on their heating and cooling costs.
