Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Have you ever driven up the driveway and up to the garage, but in order to get into the garage you have to get over "the bump"? Well at Ayers, we know how to get rid of "the bump" and you'll see the results. One customer in Mendon had to drive over "the bump" to get into the driveway... so she called us. We drove to her property and installed our advanced PolyLevel technology.

Poly Level is a polymer injection foam that we blast into the concrete tiny holes that are smaller than dimes. One of the PolyLevel is injected, the concrete raises to its original position and becomes stronger than ever before. PolyLevel worked to raise and level out the concrete slabs while dealing with the weak soils below that were no longer able to hold the weight of the home above. We drilled multiple small holes into the concrete slabs in order to inject them with a polymer material that expanded to lift and level out the concrete. Once injected, the system only needed about 15 minutes to fully cure and the slabs were then stabilized and lifted to their proper level, and stronger than ever before. Now, this homeowner will not have to worry about this ever again.

Larry noticed multiple supportive issues with his home that he's been in since 2009. Knowing that It was built by the previous owner under little supervision, he knew he had a potentially major issue. Wanting to find a solution from a reliable company unlike the initial contractors, he contacted Ayers. Our resident foreman Blade was able to listen to Larry's concern and inspect the area.

Bruce noticed the home's crawl space was suffering the most from faulty craftsmanship.  To remedy the problem Balde and his team decided to use SmartJack piers.

SmartJack piers are steel beams place strategically along the home's supportive rim joist. The Beams are anchored into the foundational floor with poured concrete and the tops are capped with load-bearing joints that affix to the rim joist.

SmartJack is a trusted tool by Ayers because it provides a permeate source of support and not only stops further compromise of the support structures but also corrects the Supportworks over time.

While trying to sell her house, the home inspector told our customer that the basement wall was bowed 2". She called us to fix it so the house would pass inspection and sell. 

As is the case with many bowed walls, there was a leaking crack that had been poorly "sealed" in the past. We installed a FlexiSpan sealant to take care of the leak, and a PowerBrace wall reinforcement system to strengthen and straighten the wall.

Many homeowners avoid their crawl space as much as possible, but this may lead to an undetected plumbing leak that could cause major flooding. Upon arrival of this home we found some signs of prior leakage which is why we opted to install this system. If any water gets into the space, it will be directed to the drain and forced to seep into the soil below. If there ever was a leak, the SmartDrain is installed with an alarm system to alert the homeowner of the problem. 

To keep any other small amounts of moisture out of the space, CleanSpace was wrapped around the piers, floors, and walls acting as a strong vapor barrier. This white liner is mold resistant and extremely durable, sure to keep the crawl space dry once and for all. 

It's common for a crawl space to collect dirt and debris over time but leaving a crawl space unattended could lead to damage in the future. Many homeowners look for a product they don't have to check on or replace which why we recommended CleanSpace for this crawl space in Harbor Springs, MI. CleanSpace lines an entire area with its durable, mold resistant material and acts as a vapor barrier to keep moisture and dirt out of the crawl space.
