Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

The before photo of this Bear Lake, MI crawl space shows where water was leaking down the walls and puddling up around the perimeter - note the water stains on the walls. Wet crawl spaces can lead to a variety of problems for homes like mold, bad odors, and structural damage in the form of rotted floor joists. The white plastic liner in the after photo is a part of our CleanSpace system. When laid down, CleanSpace creates a vapor barrier that won’t allow moisture to cause any of those crawl space problems. Mold won’t grow on it because it’s made of inorganic material, and it will prevent water from causing structural damage or bad odors. The SilverGlo Walls and Froth Pak foam in the after photo will play a similar role by providing both insulation and keeping out moisture. This crawl space won’t have any more problems in the future.

We spoke to Melissa over the phone to discuss our egress windows. She wanted a larger window to increase the natural light in her basement to brighten the space. Our egress windows are perfect since they are much larger than the standard basement window, and the opening allows for a safe exit in emergencies. We attach an exterior well with steps to ensure this exit is quick and easy. Melissa's basement feels much more open and welcoming now!

The sinking stairs made the front of this home unattractive and created a tripping hazard for those walking up. This problem was resolved in less than two hours thanks to PolyLEVEL. With a special mixture of polymers, the concrete step was raised with minimal mess and was able to be walked on in 15 minutes!

Once the snow melted, Bill realized his steps had sunk about 2", making them uneven and unsafe. Luckily our PolyLEVEL injection system is the perfect solution to raise sinking concrete slabs such as steps. It was a one day job and the steps are as good as new!

In order to prevent wetness in the basement due to their sump pump, this Kalamzoo family reached out to Ayers for some expert help. We recommened our patented SuperSump sump pump, capable of keeping a basement dry for the long haul. The SuperSump saved this family's basement by having the ability to pump water out of their basement at 2,220 gallons per hour. Their basement now may be used as a safe living space.
