The homeowners in Spring Lake, MI had a crawl space with a dirt floor and water was starting to pool in some areas. The added moisture in the crawl space can lead to mold and can bring unwated pests to the crawl space.
Our professional team decided that the SmartSump sump pump was the way to go! The SmartSump is specifically designed for crawl spaces to help reduce moisture, remove water and prevent flooding.
The SmartSump has a unique sump pump cover design, so water from a plumbing leak fills an alarm pocket on the lid first, sounding a WaterWatch alarm that will let you know there is a plumbing leak. From there, the water flows down a special airtight floor drain that will let the water down, but damp air cannot come up into your crawl space. The WaterWatch sump pump alarm also alerts you to pump failure for any reason, including power outages.

Karen M. contacted us because the crawl space under her home had a dirt floor and puddles of water. Dirt floors in a crawl space are never good. Dirt floors literally allow the outside elements into the home. You wouldn't have a dirt floor basement so why should your crawl space have a dirt floor.
CleanSpace can fix the dirt floor crawl space and the puddles. CleanSpace encapsulates the entire crawl space so no outside elements can get in including waste/moisture, bugs, and wind. The CleanSpace material is also super durable so you can still store items on it and walk on it.
This Spring Lake, MI, homeowner faced a double threat in their crawl space: moisture attracting critters that found their way into the home. Looking for a lasting solution, they turned to Ayers for help.

Richard needed some help sealing up his crawl space to ensure the water intrusion in this area would be put to an end. After calling Ayers for a permanent fix, we had a crew inspect the area to determine the best solutions. Our System Design Specialists came up with the plan to install CleanSpace and SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier. CleanSpace is a thick, waterproof, and durable liner made of plastic that is placed on the crawl space floor and holds a vapor barrier property. This vapor barrier will prevent excess moisture development that leads to bacteria or mold. Lastly, we added our SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to keep the air clean and dry!
