Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Dan was stressed out about the leaks in his basement wall and was hoping it wouldn't spread to something worse. Worried about this wall leak he knew he needed professional help so Dan called Ayers. We had a crew head over to his house for a free inspection. After our System Design Specialists checked out the issue it was decided Dan would need FlexiSpan. 

FlexiSpan is the perfect solution for this problem as it is a crack repair system that consists of a two-layer sealant. This sealant both plugs the crack and creates a drainage route for any water leaks. Underneath the white panel polyurethane was used to seal the seam and any water that pushes its way through this sealant will flow down the wall into a drainage well at the foot of the wall. This solution will put an end to these irritating wall leaks Dan was tired of dealing with.

Dan was relieved to tackle this wall leak issue with a trustworthy solution!

Michelle recently moved into a new home and realized it didn't have basement windows. For safety reasons, this was concerning, so she researched her options and called Ayers for help. We sent a team of experts to her home to evaluate and recommend a solution. They suggested installing an egress window to provide a safe and quick escape during an emergency. Egress windows are designed to withstand pressure from dirt and water, include stair steps for easy evacuation, and the polycarbonate safety cover reduces surface falls. Michelle loves her new plan!

We received a call from this customer about his rental property. He was interested in having his crawl space encapsulated. There was no system in place at the time, so the crawl space was left vulnerable to the outside world and all the problems that come along with it. Not to mention, a dirt crawl space in the basement can be a bit of an eyesore.

The goal of crawl space encapsulation is to create a barrier between the space and all things that would do it harm, specifically moisture and mold. Both water vapor and ground water can pass through exposed earth and into your crawl space. The added moisture will hang around your home, raise humidity, and then invite mold to join. To protect this crawl space, the team used our CleanSpace system. The system installed used two products: our drainage matting and the CleanSpace vapor barrier. The matting prevents water from becoming trapped in the space, while the durable vapor barrier keeps water vapor and humidity from entering.

As you can see in the before photo, the windows of this basement hadn’t seen a lot of use over the past few years. In total, there were 6 basement windows and they were all boarded up in a similar fashion as this one. When the homeowners called us up to repair their foundation, they figured it was also a good time to replace their old worn out windows.

The replacement windows in the after photo are what we call our egress window system. The real benefit of the system are the wells that come accompany the windows. Once placed into excavated portions of soil, the inorganic, waterproof wells will shield the newly installed windows from possible leaks and any decay caused by ground water. The owners now have windows they can see out of, and they’re even protected.

This home in Three Rivers, MI was located on a lake, and was a summer retreat for the homeowners. The only problem was that the crawl space was constantly damp. Although no one spent any time down there, encapsulating the crawl space was a step to help improve the air quality of the home and making the space usable for storage. CleanSpace was installed to provide a protective moisture barrier. Its multiple layers of cord reinforced polyester make it tough and long-lasting, ensuring that it will stay in place. By keeping moisture out of the crawl space, CleanSpace eliminates the wet, musty crawl space smell and allows for drier, cleaner air to be moved throughout the home.
