Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Jim was concerned about the safety of his home when he noticed bowing in his foundation walls so he decided to make the call to Ayers. After our crew conducted an inspection it was settled that our GeoLock Anchors would provide the best fix. These anchors are connected by a steel rod to a wall plate that provides clamping pressure against the inside of the foundation wall and work to prevent further wall bowing caused by soil pressure.

Jim was glad he got professional assistance to ensure his home's safety!

The mud and water below their crawl space concerned Mark and Carie A. They worried that rot would eventually develop and cause further damage. Upon a thorough inspection of the home, our system design specialist found significant foundation settlement as a result of saturated and shifting soil. He recommended that the couple first stabilize their foundation walls before attempting any waterproofing of the crawl space. We installed a set of piers to stabilize the foundation by drilling down into stable soil. The piers are anchored at a depth that can withstand the weigh of the home. We then applied an application of Shotcrete to create a new foundation wall without pouring new concrete but through an innovative process where liquid concrete is sprayed on top of a crumbling wall using a hydraulic sprayer.

Scott and Jody Contacted Ayers looking for a solution for their home. Within their basement, there were noticeable cracks in the foundation. Once contacting Ayers, An appointment was set up for a thorough home assessment. Based on the assessment results, the team at Ayers concluded that GeoLock Wall Anchors would be best for the situation. 

GeoLock Wall Anchors act as an anchoring system to pull walls back into their original place while providing support. A load-bearing plate is buried outside of the home, serving as the anchor, and a steel rod is drilled through the foundation and to the load-bearing plate. Lastly, Wall plates are bolted into place on the interior side of the wall and tightened onto the steel rod. Once everything was connected and tightened in Scott and Jody's home, their foundation was stabilized, and the cracked foundation was no longer problematic! 

The crawlspace had several issues, including a concrete floor with potential moisture concerns, rusted beams, and inadequate insulation. There was also a possibility of a leak, and the access to the crawlspace was through the interior, making it challenging to maintain. To solve these problems, the team encapsulated the crawlspace with a barrier to prevent moisture intrusion and improve air quality. They also applied spray foam insulation along the floor joists after removing the old insulation to ensure proper thermal protection. 

Greg's home had a dirt crawl space that needed encapsulation. He called Ayers for our crawl space repair expertise. We sent a system design specialist for an inspection. From this, our specialist was able to recommend CleanSpace. CleanSpace is a heavy-duty plastic liner manufactured with a vapor barrier that prevents moisture buildup. This liner is installed on the crawl space floor and walls, shielding the area from critters, mold, and moisture. Unlike a tarp, this solution is permanent and will not collect water or dirt over time. Greg is over the moon with the stunning transformation!
