Before & After Photos

Steve had various issues within his Michigan-style basement. Water appeared to seep into the basement and pool up, adding other complications. Steve grew tired of the basement and finally decided to call Ayers. An inspection of his home was done, and it concluded that water appeared to be seeping into the house through the foundation. Thus, the team at Ayers suggested installing CleanSpace.

CleanSpace utilizes a heavy-duty, durable plastic liner that lines the entirety of the basement or crawlspace. The liner creates a vapor barrier as any water that comes into the home will run behind the liner and to a sump pump. For Steves's house, not only did CleanSpace waterproof the area, but it also made it look much better! 

This customer called because they noticed that their basement was damp and had a musty smell. The crew found that their dirt crawl space was damp and moldy, resulting in a wet and moldy basement as well.

Dirt crawl spaces can cause many unexpected problems for a homeowner. Water vapor and any other sources of water within your crawl space are the perfect home for mold to thrive. Not to mention air flows upward, meaning the damp air from the crawl space is entering other parts of your home and bringing the mold spores with it.

CleanSpace is a puncture and tear resistant plastic liner that that stops water vapor and other sources of water from leaking into the space. The liner is made to last as long as your home and is fastened to the interior walls to ensure it stays where you install it.

Often times crawl spaces can be very damp, musty, or even flooded. While this crawl space was slightly damp, there were really no major repairs that had to be made. However, the owners of the home still wanted to encapsulate it to prevent any future problems and transform their crawl space into a more usable space. Installing a CleanSpace liner in the crawl space of this home not only provides barrier from any water vapor from the ground or walls, but also enhances the look of the space. The liner is bright white, and since its so durable, fixing it to the walls ensures it will stay exactly where it was installed. Its multiple layers makes it flexible and tear resistant, so it can be walked on, making the area clean and usable.

Doris has lived in her home for nearly 20 years and has never stepped foot in her crawl space, likely because animals had made their way in there several times—yikes! Our system design specialist visited her home to check out the crawl space’s current situation. What he found was standing water—up to 4 inches in some parts. The best solution to keep water out of the crawl space and seal off the home from critters was CleanSpace.

CleanSpace is a specially designed crawl space liner that will hold up for a very long time. Fixed to the wall with fasteners, this incredibly thick liner is virtually resistant to tears. It provides a barrier to moisture, and allows for drainage to the sump pump. Encapsulating her crawl space with CleanSpace, assures Doris that standing water and animals are a thing of the past.

Don and Cathy G. called because they noticed a musty smell on the first floor of their home. This generally occurred when they would turn the heat on. Our team investigated their crawl space situation and found that it was extremely damp and moldy. Due to the “Stack Effect”, the musty air from the crawl space was drawn upward into the main level of their home. Little did they know the disgusting smell in the air was also carrying mold spores that can cause serious health problems.

The couple had mold abatement done in the past but this was not a permanent fix. Dirt crawl spaces cause many problems for homeowners because the earth is damp and creates the ideal environment for mold to grow and spread. The solution for this common problem is the installation of CleanSpace, which is a durable plastic liner that seals off the crawlspace from the earth. The liner is waterproof and will prevent any source of water from entering the space. This will keep the crawl space dry and prevent mold growth.

Don and Cathy can now live comfortably knowing they wont have to deal with a damp and smelly crawl space.
