Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Donald had met one of our employees at a mutual friend’s house and said that he was having some problems with his basement. His father had built the home and there has since been many additions to the house. Donald was telling us that two of the additions are sinking which is causing some cracks on the ceiling of the first floor and cracks on the foundation walls in the basement. We inspected the problem and installed PowerBraces to stabilize the walls. The PowerBrace Wall Repair System can stop further damage and potentially straighten the walls back to the original position. The system consists of steel beams that are secure to the joists above the wall that allow for tightening.

Kara bought this Muskegon home just a couple days before water started leaking into her basement due to the snow. The water was coming in where the floor and walls meet in 2 areas. We had a solution for her to keep her basement dry. We first installed the WaterGuard system which is a French drain that is installed under the floor but above the foundation so it does not clog. The drain collects water that seeps into the basement from cracks and sends it to the sump pump to be expelled outside the home. We also installed the TripleSafe Sump Pump System which has three levels of protection in case of a pump malfunction or a power outage which gives home owners peace of mind that the area will be dry. Next we installed the CleanSpace Wall System which keeps water vapor from passing through your foundation walls and directing it to your sump pump. The syste also has an anti-microbial protection built right in so no mold or mildew will grow on the CleanSpace! Lastly we installed the SaniDry XP which has a powerful motor that keeps dry air circulating throughout the space to dry out the area. The collected water can be drained into a sump pump pit or a section of your perimeter drain. The best part is that this model of dehumidifiers can be stores in a corner or closet so it won't interfere with a finished basement.

Justin recently noticed mold growth and moisture on his crawl space walls. Knowing this could cause further structural damage, he researched his options and called Ayers for assistance. We sent a team of experts to visit his home, and they recommended installing EverLast doors. Crawl space doors are often constructed of plywood or similar materials that fail to eliminate moisture. EverLast doors contain durable plastic that will not shrink, crack, or warp under certain conditions. Justin loves his dry crawl space!

After talking with one of our representatives at a home show, this customer knew he wanted Ayers to handle his crawl space. A quick call to the appointment center informed him that the type of project he was looking for was a crawl space encapsulation. This would solve his insulation problem and clean up the look of his moldy crawl space.

The Ayers Basement Systems method for crawl space encapsulation utilizes the product CleanSpace. Once the white plastic liner is laid out, it makes crawl spaces look like an entirely new room. The liner does more than just look good; it creates an inorganic vapor barrier that won’t let moisture pass through the walls or floor. This crawl space had several piers that were also wrapped, to make sure that there is no place for outside air or moisture to enter. Its durability and strength will stand up against repeated crawl trips, making sure that humidity and mold won’t bother your crawl space for years to come.

Lucky for you, if you’re looking for a crawl space encapsulation, you don’t have to track us down at trade shows. Just give us a call and we’ll be more than happy to talk you through our available products and services.
