Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Tim knew there was water moisture in the crawl space beneath his home and needed to do something about it. He wasn't sure how to remedy the situation, so he called Ayers to learn about our waterproofing solutions. Our specialists visited his home to evaluate the situation and recommend a solution. They suggested installing CleanSpace, an antimicrobial-lined vapor barrier built to eliminate mold and moisture entry. CleanSpace is durable and ready to be stepped/walked on without compromising. Tim loves the new look of his crawl space!

Gary's old sump pump recently failed, and he found water leaking onto his basement floor. He didn't want the problem to worsen, or his belongings ruined, so he researched his options and called Ayers for help. Our crew of specialists visited his home to assess the issue and recommended the installation of the TripleSafe sump pump. TripleSafe is designed to proactively prevent pump failure by including two backup pumps, one of which is battery-powered in case of outages. Gary feels much more comfortable with his new system!

Kevin had been struggling with water accumulating in his crawlspace, especially after heavy rains, due to his home’s close proximity to a lake. This led to unpleasant odors inside of his home. We addressed the moisture problem by installing a sump pump, CleanSpace liner, drainage matting, and extending the discharge line by 20 feet to prevent water from pooling in his yard. Kevin immediately noticed a significant improvement in the smell of his home and was thrilled with the results.

This Branch Township, MI cabin had taken a beating from the outside soil. Horizontal cracks were running the length of the basement walls, a common sign of bowing. The owners had contacted several different companies looking for a solution. After being told that the foundation was collapsing and the only solution would be to tear it down and rebuild, they began to lose hope. But that was before they talked to us.

Bowing Walls can mean the end of your home’s structural integrity. Whoever told the owners that the foundation was collapsing was correct, the walls wouldn’t be able to stand the pressure much longer. What that contractor didn’t know is that the Ayers crew could fix the cabin’s bowing walls without removing a single log. The secret is our Geo-Lock Wall Anchor System. The crew excavated the soil next to the home and inserted anchors into hard-packed soil further away from the foundation. Once the anchors were in place, the crew connected steel rods between the anchor and interior wall plates (seen in the after photo) in the basement. After the installation was complete, any inward bowing of the walls was permanently stopped. The system can even be tightened to bring these walls back to their original position. The installation may have taken a few days, but we’re sure that time felt like nothing compared to rebuilding the cabin.

To give Keith a solution for the water leaking into his basement, our team headed to his home to install our TripleSafe sump pump system. TripleSafe consists of three pumps that fit in one durable liner. The first pump will do most of the work, the second is there if any backup is needed, and the final pump is battery-operated, so it stays on during power outages. Water damage will no longer accumulate in Keith's basement!
