Before & After Photos

This homeowner has a crawl space under the addition but when it rains a lot, water seeps in. During the summer, the heat keeps the area fairly dry but it still has moisture in it. We were called because she wanted it to be sealed off to keep it dry. First, we put down drainage matting so that water in the crawl space could move and be directed to the sump pump. Second we installed the CleanSpace liner which is a thick durable liner similar to a pool liner. It prevents water vapor and humidity from passing through. By keeping your crawl space dry, your structure and insulation is protected from mold and rot. 

Many homeowners are not satisfied with their crawl space area. Typically they’re damp, musty, filled with miscellaneous debris and lack proper ventilation ー all ingredients fueling a recipe for disaster. 

However, at Ayers Basement Systems we take pride in mastering the art of crawl space encapsulation and waterproofing. In the case of Jennifer M.’s damp Potterville crawl space, the solution was simple: Clean Space Vapor Barrier System. 

First, we sealed all of the doors and vents so that outside air and humidity was no longer able to sneak in. Next we installed a crawl space drain and sump pump system. When combined, the drain and sump pump eliminates and removes any flooding water. Lastly, the area is encapsulated with our Vapor Barrier liner, a thick, durable liner that traps all other moisture in the air and ground. Without moisture, your crawl space will become smell-free and fungi-free.

After following all of the steps above we were able to completely transform Jennifer’s debris-filled, moist crawl space into a dry, ideal one. 

Deborah discovered that her Michigan basement was leaking. During rain, the same area in the basement would get wet and puddle up. She decided to call Ayers to determine the problem and explore solutions.  

A System Design Specialist was sent out for an assessment of the home and to look for solutions. After thoroughly assessing the house, the team at Ayers suggested CleanSpace System and the SmartSump. The CleanSpace system is a water-proof vapor barrier that prevents moisture or vapor from entering the basement. Any water from the walls will be funneled behind the CleanSpace and directed toward a pump. Additionally, the SmartSump is a sump pump ideal for crawlspace environments. This sump pump houses a primary pump that pumps any water in the crawlspace out and away from the house. 

These two products will eliminate the risk of water damage and ultimately take care of Deborah's problem. Ayers was more than happy to provide a permeant solution for the home! 

Clair and Michael came to Ayers because they had issues with their Michigan basement. The cold air from the basement appeared to be seeping into the home, causing the rest of the home to become cold. Ayers inspected the house and concluded that CleanSpace would be perfect for the problem. CleanSpace utilizes a heavy-duty pool-like liner that lines the entirety of the space and creates a moisture barrier. The moisture will not only keep water out of the basement but also keep cold air out and warm air inside the home. Once CleanSpace was installed in Clair and Michael's house, they no longer had issues with their home getting cold!

Doug was tired of dealing with the musty odor coming from his dirty crawl space that was not sealed properly so he called Ayers hoping for a permanent fix. We had a crew come to his home for an inspection and from there it was concluded he needed CleanSpace. This is a thick, durable plastic liner that will cover his crawl space floor and walls protecting it from excess moisture and water. This excess moisture can build up and cause mold or bacteria to flourish. We also add a Drainage Matting which is a dimpled mat placed under the liner that will catch water and direct the flow to his drain and sump pump system.

Doug was happy to get his crawl space sealed up and protected; no more musty smells!
