Before & After Photos

In order to maintain a healthy, mold-free crawl space area it’s important that the space is moisture-free. Crawl spaces are often damp which allows mold and mildew to grow. Our job is to eliminate the moisture so that your crawl space remains without pests, odor, mold, and more! This client requested help with restoring his crawl space to its original dry state. With the help of our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier Liner and SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier we were able to leave him and his family with long-lasting results!  

Denise B.'s dirt crawl space had several issues that stemmed from their unsealed, uninsulated walls and floor. Cold air and moisture freely entered the crawl space which made for cold floors upstairs. We added a drainage matting to the entire floor which works on even or uneven surfaces and captures water that may enter the crawl space. We then installed a polyetherane CleanSpace crawl space liner on top which serves as a vapor barrier. 

Paul noticed a musty smell coming from his two crawl spaces and called us to come and take a look. Our system design specialist found evidence of standing water, and that both crawl spaces had sand floors which can contribute greatly to moisture in the air, and create that musty smell. Our team installed discharge lines to carry any water away from the house, and CleanSpace, a vapor barrier that will ensure that any exposed earth won't contribute to mold growth and unwanted smells. CleanSpace also gives a more finished look and, now that he doesn't have to worry about unwanted water, enables Paul to now use his crawl spaces as potential storage. Our team was able to work fast and complete the project so Paul can continue renting his house out in the summer. 

The barrier in the before photo was installed 15 years ago, and so far, it had kept the crawl space in pretty good shape. The only problem was that the barrier had started to accumulate some mold and condensation issues. As the owners prepared to winterize their summer home once again, they called us to look for an encapsulation that would better stand up to those moisture issues. The new barrier in the after photo is the CleanSpace system. Because of its inorganic material, the barrier won’t be able to grow mold like the previous system. The liner is also an extremely strong vapor barrier that, as you can see in the after photo, covers the floor and walls of the crawl space. 

After realizing there was water in their crawl space, these Petoskey, MI residents contacted Ayers to put an end to the problem. Our solution? CleanSpace. This durable liner is fixed to the walls and covers the floor to provide a barrier to moisture. The water is able to flow beneath the liner across drainage matting where it makes its way to the SmartSump where the water is pumped out of the crawl space. CleanSpace makes the crawl space dry, usable and much brighter.
