Before & After Photos

Just a few years after purchasing their current home, David & Stephanie from Holland, MI began experiencing troubles with water in their crawlspace. They knew this would eventually lead to rotting of the wooden beams under their home. Seeking a proactive approach, this couple began searching for experts to consult. David & Stephanie saw an Ayers Basement Systems truck in their local community and knew as local experts we could likely provide them with the effective solutions they needed for their crawlspace. One morning early this winter our call center received a call from our new friends.

After going to David & Stephanie’s home and diagnosing their crawlspace needs, we prescribed our patented CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system to address the current water issues being faced below their home. The CleanSpace encapsulation product is a 20mm thick plastic lining that completely seals off the crawlspace from the grim elements it faces below. After having their crawlspace encapsulated, David & Stephanie can now view their crawlspace as clean, dry and useful space.

The homeowners called us becuase they had critters and water coming into the crawl space. They also wanted the home to be warmer and felt he cold came from the crawl space. They called us wanting a solution to their problems. 

We put Drainage Matting on the floor to allow for the movement of water under the liner and so that water can be directed towards the sump pump to be drained. Next we installed the CleanSpace Liner which is a thick durable white liner. This liner prevents critters, humidity, and water vapor from passing through. The CleanSpace Liner keeps your crawl space dry which protects your structure and insulation from mold and rot. By sealing your crawl space, you keep the summer heat out of your home and the winter cold away from your furnace, water heater, and other utilities.

A homeowner in Holland, MI, built his family home in 1983 but could never fully complete the crawl space due to restrictions from the DNR. Over the years, the unsealed space allowed moisture and critters to enter, leading to cold floors and damage. The homeowner tried insulating the floors, but the material absorbed moisture, sagged, and trapped cold air beneath the house.

The Ayers team removed the old insulation, installed insulation panels along the crawl space walls, and sealed the area with CleanSpace to keep moisture out. Drainage matting and CleanSpace were applied to the floor, ensuring the crawl space remained dry and insulated.

Now, the home is protected from moisture, providing a warmer, more efficient living space.

Norm realized a musty smell was wafting through the living space of his home and wasn't sure where it originated. He didn't how to fix the issue himself, so he researched his options and called Ayers for help. Our team of specialists visited his home, evaluated the space, and recommended installing the CleanSpace vapor barrier. CleanSpace is constructed of antimicrobial-lined material to eliminate moisture entry and mold growth and applied entirely to the crawl space floors and walls. Norm and his guests can breathe freely!

Andrew called when he noticed that the moisture in his crawl space was causing a musty smell inside and even all around the outside of the home. We encapsulated the crawl space with CleanSpace vapor barrier and replaced the ineffective traditional fiberglass insulation with inorganic and waterproof FrothPak to ensure that the crawl space is insulated without providing food for mold growth.
