Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Travis called us with a request to have an Egress window installed in his basement. Not a problem. We were able to expertly install and seal the window in the poured concrete basement wall. We excavated on the exterior of the home for the install and placed a 50 inch wide galvanized window well in the hole to surround the window. Proper drainage was installed and stone was finished off the install. Now the basement is brighter and an emergency escape has been added for the space.

Steve just bought a house and was going to fix it up himself but he was concerned about the structural issues. He wanted the issues to be fixed and to give him peace of mind that the house was stable. We installed Helical Piers because they are great for stabilizing and restoring foundations. These piers have fast, year-round istallation so you never have to worry that your home can't get fixed due to the season. The piers can even help lift the foundation back to the original positiion.

Due to cracks in their walls, Kelsey and Randy were experiencing water leakage in their basement. They want to sell their house, but they can't until this issue is fixed. So our team installed FlexiSpan wall crack repair. FlexiSpan is a three part process that requires a flexible sealant, a flexible strip of foam and an impermeable membrane. These items are not affected by pressure or more movement in the walls, which is why they are better than mortar sealant or other solutions. So this system will provide a permanent fix to Kelsey and Randy's leaking walls, allowing them to sell their house.

Dennis called up Ayers for crawl space repair options as his current support beams were failing on him. We had a crew come out to the home for a free inspection so we could determine the best solutions. Our solutions being SmartJacks as well as CleanSpace. SmartJacks will address the cracking support beams since these are strong, steel columns that are placed on solid, steel bases installed in the sub-floor and are capable of helping hold the weight of the home. We added a support beam above that we attached to the columns. This support system will provide Dennis much needed strength and stability. Next we added CleanSpace to help keep his crawl space in top notch shape as this is a thick, plastic liner with a vapor barrier that protects against excess moisture buildup that leads to mold or bacteria. Dennis's crawl space is now well supported and clean!

This Wayland, MI homeowner had been in talks with us regarding his foundation for 4 years. When he finally decided to pull the trigger and fix his sagging floors, he thought it was as good a time as any to do something about the irregular temperatures in his home, as well. He had previously had foam injection treatments, but they hadn’t solved the problem. However, thanks to those injections, the owner knew exactly where the problem was coming from and told the system design specialist that his crawl space was in dire need of an encapsulation. The white plastic in the after photo is part of the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System. Impenetrable by moisture, CleanSpace will keep moist or cold air from entering the crawl space and subsequently rising into the home. It’s the perfect product to help better control crawl space temperatures.
