Before & After Photos

When this customer started thinking about putting her house on the market, she knew she would have to do something about the mess in her crawl space. As you can see in the before photo, the moisture that was getting into the crawl space had caused quite a few problems. The tarp that was supposed to be protecting the crawl space was covered with water, debris was everywhere, and the piers and walls were water stained.

To solve this problem, the crew installed the SmartSump (see after photo) to pump out water and encapsulated the crawl space with the moisture barrier CleanSpace. CleanSpace is the white liner that covers everything in the crawlspace including the piers, walls, and floor. The sump pump will collect all the moisture that doesn’t get through the barrier and direct it out through the discharge line. Selling this home will be much easier when potential customers see the completely encapsulated crawl space, instead of the pit that it used to be.

Rodney and his wife want to sell their home soon but have some standing water in the crawl space. They would like the crawl space sealed off and cleaned before guests arrive for the 4th of July but are excited to have the area moisture and odor free for the new homeowners. We used Drainage Matting and CleanSpace liner to keep the space dry and protect the home from mold, rot, and odors. The Drainage Matting gives the water a channel to flow through to get to the sump pump. The liner keeps out the moisture and pests but also has an additive the prevents mold growth. 

Many people assume that a full crawl space encapsulation is their only option to keeping the area dry. While that’s probably the most fool-proof way to keep the crawlspace free of moisture and mold, it’s also possible to only install the CleanSpace system on the sections that need it most. As the second photo shows, our team installed the durable plastic liner and drainage matting only over the shelf areas to form a moisture barrier. A TripleSafe sump pump was also installed to eliminate groundwater in the space, as well as an energy efficient SaniDry dehumidifier to keep it dry. 

Rich noticed mold growing in his crawl space and worried it would cause structural damage. After researching his options, he called Ayers to learn about our waterproofing solutions. We sent a team of professionals to his house who recommended the installation of the CleanSpace vapor barrier. CleanSpace is constructed of antimicrobial-lined material and designed to be walked and crawled upon. Rich loves how clean his crawl space is!

As seasons progressed and the temperature constantly changed, Denice began to notice problems arising in his home. The area under his house seemed very humid and wet, thus, he contacted us at Ayers Basement Systems. Our team inspected his home and determined CleanSpace would be perfect. CleanSpace utilizes a heavy-duty plastic liner that creates a moisture barrier stopping any water from entering Denice's crawl space!
