The Ayers team fixed this damp and dirty crawl space using drainage matting, our CleanSpace insulation to keep it warm, and special materials to prevent moisture and mold. They also strengthened the structure to ensure everything stayed in place with a few SmartJacks.
Our customer was looking to finish their basement and needed an egress window. The home was made our poured concrete walls and built in the 1980’s. Egress windows are a requirement when finishing your basement or using it as a bedroom for safety precautions. In case of an emergency, you want to make sure your family is safe and that just isn’t possible with submarine windows. You also want to make sure your windows are nice and sealed so no water can get through them and into your basement.
John realized his sump pump was not effectively doing its job. Water from outside leaked into his basement and began to pool, so he called Ayers to learn about our waterproofing solutions. After sending a team of experts to examine the property and determine the best solution, our team recommended our TripleSafe sump pump system and SaniDry XP dehumidifier. Installing TripleSafe will proactively defend against pump failure with a three-in-one pump system, containing a battery-powered pump for power outages. To ensure the basement remains dry, we installed a SaniDry XP dehumidifier designed to produce fresh, dry air and reduce potential mold growth. It is also ten times stronger than an average dehumidifier. This solution requires less maintenance and does not need to be emptied. John is ecstatic with his clean, dry basement!
Mark had us come out to his home and install a couple things for his crawl space a few years ago but was not ready to encapsulate it yet. This year he was ready to seal the crawl space off and keep the moisture out. His home is older and he just wants to make improvements to protect it. We laid down Drainage Matting which has raised dimples in it. The dimples create a channel for water to flow through if any water gets in and directs it to the sump pump. We also installed CleanSpace which is a thick, durable liner similar to a pool liner. The liner is a vapor barrier that keeps out humidity, pests, and water vapor to keep the space dry. It also keeps the home safe from mold and rot!
Nancy called us to see what her options were for her crawl space. Her home is a doublewide that is on piers and has a faux block foundation. The space is open so they have been getting rodents in as well as all the cold from the winter months. During the winter months, the home and floors get very cold since the air and snow are getting into the crawl space. We insulated the area with spray foam and SilverGlo Crawl Space Insulation and sealed the area off with the EverLast Crawl Space Door. This will keep all the rodents out and the warmth in!
