Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

A customer from Onekama, Michigan gave us a call. They told us that the wanted help insulating their crawlspace from the outside environment. We drove to their property and helped them out by installing our CleanSpace technology. CleanSpace is a 20 mil thick plastic liner that fits to the crawl space to completely seal the home from the earth. Polyester cord reinforcement allows for a lot of durability, to make it last longer than the home will. This liner also contains an antimicrobial additive to prevent mold. CleanSpace will allow the homeowner to never worry about a wet crawlspace ever again.

Kim’s 2004 Onekama, MI vacation home is almost done being renovated. She and her husband are planning on retiring in the home, but want to finish the basement. They wanted a few egress windows installed in order to go ahead with the rest of the project.  

Our egress windows bring safety and beauty in one. Building codes require that basement living spaces must have a large enough window to safely evacuate in case of emergency. Our windows have built-in steps and durable covers that hold up to 500 pounds.  

Kim and her husband were thrilled with the work Ayers did, and cannot wait to finish their renovations before moving in full time. 

Frank was hoping to seal up his crawl space with a vapor barrier. He did some research and found that Ayers sold the perfect solutions for his crawl space. He gave us a call and we sent a crew out for a free inspection to determine what products he could use to tackle this. Our System Design Specialists concluded Frank would need CleanSpace, SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier, and our SuperSump Plus.

The first product installed was CleanSpace which is a thick, durable plastic liner that utilizes this vapor barrier quality he was looking for. The vapor barrier protects against excess water or moisture development. Too much moisture can lead to mold or bacteria growth. We also installed SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier which will eliminate moisture and water in the air, keeping it free from musty smells or mold spores. It costs less to run and can remove up to 95 pints of water a day. Lastly, SuperSump Plus was added to tackle any water leaks. It can pump 2200 gallons of water an hour at an 8 foot head.

Now that Frank's crawl space is protected with an efficient, long-lasting system he's relieved of the issues with his crawl space he was tired of dealing with!

We received a call from these homeowners specifically asking about our PolyLevel system. The walkway leading up to the front porch of their Hopkins, MI home was unlevel and in need of a solution. As you can see in the before picture, the concrete located next to the garage doorway was sinking well below the other slabs. PolyLevel was injected beneath the settled concrete until it expanded enough to fill the voids left by the failing soil. Once the polymer was expanded to its full capacity, it began to harden and stabilize the walkway. Since PolyLevel is less invasive than other methods for raising concrete, the installation was relatively quick and completed in just one day.

You too can rid yourself of that sinking feeling; call us today and get a free quote for using the PolyLevel system to raise your concrete!

For many of us, the idea of walls closing in on us is a terrifying thought. It’s even more terrifying when there’s the potential for that to come true in your own home.

The walls of this basement in Hopkins, MI were adorned with stair-step cracks and diagonal cracking at the corners—both signs of wall failure. When one of the walls in the basement started to bow, or buckle in the middle, the homeowners knew that things were getting serious.

Our team visited the home and got to work stabilizing the walls using the Power Brace System. These steel beams are fixed to the floor joists, and can be tightened over time to help straighten the walls. The zinc coating on the beams makes them resistant to corrosion, so you can be sure they’ll do their job for years to come.
