Before & After Photos

Jeffrey was having issues with his crawl space as water was leaking in. Jeffrey decided to contact Ayers to explore his options. The team at Ayers conducted an inspection and determined that water was seeping through areas in the foundation, and CleanSpace would eliminate those issues! CleanSpace utilizes a heavy-duty plastic liner that encapsulates the whole space, thus creating a moisture barrier! The liner will stop moisture from accumulating in the area and help Jeffrey heat or cool his home more efficiently! 

With the weather being so cold recently, everyone needs their basements and crawlspaces insulated to keep their homes warm and dry from all the snow. This crawlspace needed insulation and a good makeover. The homeowner decided to go with our CleanSpace system and SilverGlo insulation. 

Block walls are one of the most common ways to build a basement or crawlspace but they are also the least resistant to water and air which means...cold and wet. Our CleanSpace system encapsulates the crawlspace so no outside elements can get in. Our SilverGlo insulation makes sure to help with energy savings, so the heat in your house stays in this winter. 

Near the end of last year, our call center received a call from Joshua, a local homeowner in Wyoming, MI. He told us that he had a feeling the cold moist air in his crawlspace might be affecting the temperature throughout his home. Joshua also admitted that he was pondering the idea of selling his current home in the future. He knew our crawlspace work would increase the value of his home. Joshua had been seeing Ayers Basement Systems commercials on TV and knew as the local crawlspace experts we could likely provide effective solutions for his home.

After assessing Joshua’s crawlspace needs, we prescribed our patented CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system to address the cold moist air concerns below his home. The CleanSpace encapsulation product is a 20mm thick plastic lining that completely seals off the crawl space from the grim elements it faces below. To supplement the CleanSpace, additionally we installed spray foam insulation and SilverGlo wall paneling. SilverGlo panels are constructed very differently than other types of insulation. These panels contain tiny graphite particles that permeate its foam insulation, this is what gives the panel that silver shine. These tiny particles serve a functional purpose besides just looks, they reflect heat and lower the material's conductivity for superior R-value insulation.  This will increase the energy efficiency of Joshua’s home and help lower his energy costs. With this dynamic system in place, it became evident that Joshua’s cranky crawlspace was no match for our level of expertise.

This homeowner had water coming into her crawl space and wanted that to stop. She called us for a solution to her leakage problem. We installed drainage matting to allow the flow of water under the liner so the water can get to the sump pump to drain. We then installed the CleanSpace liner, a thick durable liner similar to a pool liner, to keep water, mold, and odor out of the crawl space.

Our customer Nancy, called us asking about crawl space insulation as her house was feeling chilly.  Crawl space insulation helps the rest of the house to not feel drafty and cold.  Done right, this can save money as well as make us feel more comfortable in our homes.  This specific crawlspace was helped using CleanSpace.  CleanSpace is a vapor barrier that allows the house and crawlspace to be separated from the ground.  Doing this will reduce relative humidity that can have many benefits such as energy costs, and helping to reduce mold and allergies.  Combine CleanSpace with SilverGlo wall insulation and you'll be saving money and feeling better in no time!
