Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Thomas had done previous work with us but this time called us to encapsulate his crawl space. During the winter he was getting cats in there and the whole area was starting to stink. We installed the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier to keep water vapor and humidity from entering the space. By doing this, it also closed off the crawl space from the outside making sure no more animals or insects could get in. We also installed the SaniDry Sedona which has a powerful motor to keep dry air circulating throughout the crawl space to dry it out. By keeping pests and water out of the area, the smells, mold, and rot are also kept out!

Thomas’ home was struggling to keep up with humidity. The Humidity was contributing greatly to allergens and mold growth in his home, something that isn’t good for the health of people in the home. To clean up the air and get the moisture under control, our team came out and installed CleanSpace and a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier. The SaniDry Sedona is more powerful than any other dehumidifier and drains automatically so you don't have to worry about emptying the water yourself. It will control the humidity and make sure to stop mold growth, kill dust mites, and make your whole house healthier. CleanSpace is an uninterrupted vapor barrier designed to keep out any unwanted pests, moisture, and mold. This barrier restricts airflow and therefore makes controlling the temperature of the home much easier. CleanSpace is applied to the floors and walls and wrapped around pillars and piers carefully to ensure that the space looks clean and refreshed. Now Thomas can be sure he’s breathing in healthy and there is no moisture contributing to the deterioration of his home. 

Valentina set her water bottle on the floor, only to watch it roll to the corner of her living room. It was obvious her floor was slanted, so she called Ayers for help. We sent our team to her house to evaluate the situation and they recommended installing SmartJacks, a supplemental support system of floor jacks. SmartJacks are zinc-plated, hot dipped in galvanized steel and secured two feet in the ground to reduce load-bearing stress. Valentina feels much more balanced!

Water was leaking into the corners of this basement after heavy rainfalls. The basement already had 3 different floor drains and a sump pump, but they were no longer in use. To keep water out and prevent future puddles, the owners gave us a call.

Water that leaks into basement tends to flow down the walls and puddle at the floor and wall joint. For this exact reason, we install our perimeter drainage system at the foot of basement walls. In the after photo, you can see the gap for the WaterGuard system that permits water to enter the pipes. Since there were drains already in place, the customer asked to have the WaterGuard connected to the storm drain system for discharge. The crew was happy to oblige. Rainfalls will no longer mean the flooding of this basement.

This crawl space was under both home and exterior deck. When the owners noticed a large crack on the deck’s concrete slab, they began to get a little worried about the foundation. Our system design specialist went out for a visit and found out that the cinderblock foundation was actually starting to sink. With foundation went the floor joists in the crawl space, which was also the floor of the deck. In the after photo, you can see the solution our crew provided: the SmartJack system. The SmartJacks can be raised to whatever height levels out the floor joists above them, and they are also installed into the foundation floor to maintain that stability. No part of this crawl space or the structures that depend on it should sink again.
