Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

In order to stabilize these walls, we installed Power Braces. These beams are installed against the wall and uses a joint reinforcement method to distribute the weight evenly. Tightened over time, these beams gradually improve the condition of the wall over time, and their zinc coating makes them resistant to corrosion.

To collect the water from the walls, DryTrak was installed. This system is best for monolithic slabs that include a foundation wall footing, and is designed to work with the sump pump. The drainage channel is sealed with a special adhesive to the floor, and a small space is left along the wall to allow wall leaks to drain directly into the channel. The water is collected and then rerouted to the sump pump, which will pump the water out of the basement and away from the home through a discharge line.

PowerBraces help improve the foundation walls over time to prevent future wall leaks, while DryTrak keeps the leaks under control in the basement of this Culver, MI home.

Sandi needed help leveling the concrete around her pool so she called our team and we installed PolyLevel. PolyLevel is a system designed to fix concrete slabs that have sunk by using a new product to lift the concrete slabs back to their original level. The new product used is a polyurethane foam that expands and has a high density in order to raise the concrete. The process is quite simple and is done by drilling small holes into the concrete and then inserting the foam into the holes. Also, the PolyLevel system is waterproof and long-lasting. 

Mary's crawl space in Culver, IN showed signs of water and mold. Additionally, the crawl space made her feet cold due to the lack of insulation. Ayers installed Rim joist insulation, Drainage Matting, and CleanSpace, SaniDry, and SmartSump™ for added protection. Now, her crawl space is dry and without mold, and she has peace of mind.

Marc was hoping to get an Egress Window installed in his finished basement for the finishing touch and to make it a legal bedroom. He saw that Ayers sells Egress Windows and decided to set up an appointment with us.

Egress Windows are great for basements since they are larger and allow for a safe exit option in emergency situations. This is an especially important feature if someone will be living down there. This window will open up the room and make it more inviting. More natural light and fresh air will fill the space as well. These windows are waterproof as well so Marc won't have to worry about water leaking in during heavy rainfalls.

Marc was happy with the result and the finished look the Egress Window gave his basement!

We responded to an inquiry from Guy, a homeowner looking for better foundation support. He realized the floors were sagging and the wooden support structures were failing. Guy called Ayers for our foundation repair solutions. Our crew inspected his basement's current support situation and determined SmartJacks would provide the appropriate support required. SmartJacks will not rot or warp like the wooden support beams Guy previously had. The system was installed by attaching steel support beams to the floor joists. They rest on a sturdy base in the subfloor. Once the support columns were installed, the crew adjusted them to raise the floors to a level position. Guy is satisfied with the results now that he has a permanent solution to support his home's foundation!
