Before & After Photos

Having a dirt crawl space when plumbing leaks are possible in your home is a recipe for disaster— just ask these Levering, MI homeowners. When water leaks, it’s absorbed in the dirt floor, making the crawlspace a wet, humid place and a breeding ground for mold. However, investing in a CleanSpace crawlspace liner and a SmartDrain to identify future leaks can address the previous concern. As shown in the second photo, our team did exactly this. Installing this flexible, durable and antimicrobial liner in the crawl space and an airtight floor drain that alerts the owners when there’s a leak, helps prevent any permanent damage. Additionally, a SaniDry Cx Air System to keep humidity low and CleanSpace Drainage Matting that directs water to the drainage system also works to make this crawl space a dry victory. 

David was concerned with the moisture buildup in his crawl space. He knew this area needed encapsulation, so he called Ayers. Our experts concluded from an inspection that our CleanSpace solution would be his best option. CleanSpace isn't any regular tarp from the store. It is a durable plastic liner utilizing a vapor barrier to prevent moisture development. We place a drainage matting below before installing the liner along the crawl space floor and walls. The raised dimples in the mat give the water leaking into the space a channel underneath the liner. With this proper encapsulation, David no longer has to stress about this area!

Bob finally decided it was time to check out his crawl space. He discovered this space was full of dirt, moisture, and other outside pests. The crawl space needed encapsulation, so he called Ayers for professional help sealing this problem area. Our system design specialists conducted an inspection and concluded CleanSpace would efficiently protect his crawl space. CleanSpace is a heavy-duty liner made of waterproof, inorganic material and will line the crawl space floor and walls. This solution creates a barrier between the moist soil and the home. The vapor barrier property the liner utilizes prevents mold or bacteria growth. Bob's crawl space is now in much better shape!

This Midland, MI, crawl space had extensive water damage. The homeowner attempted to create a water barrier using plastic tarp but it was ineffective. As you can see on the right, we installed a CleanSpace crawl space barrier on the walls and floor together with a TripleSafe sump pump to dispel any water from the crawl space. 

Looking at the before picture of this crawl space you can almost feel how damp it is. While there was a liner in place, it wasn’t sealed at the perimeter of the walls allowing water to accumulate underneath and on top of the liner. This standing water caused the crawl space to be damp and a breeding ground for mold.

Our team upgraded this crawl space’s current liner to CleanSpace. Made of 2 layers of polyester cord reinforcement, this liner installed on the floors and walls it stays where it’s installed and can even be walked on. CleanSpace provides a barrier to moisture, allowing the water behind the liner to drain to the sump pump. Not only the does the liner transform the look of the crawl space, but it keeps it dry so the crawl space is can be a usable space!
