Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Bonnie, a pre-existing customer of Ayers, found that her crawl space had quite an awful smell that appeared to be seeping into the rest of the house. Bonnie contacted Ayers, and a System Design Specialist was sent out in no time! The team at Ayers concluded that mold had developed from a high moisture level. Thus, the team at Ayers suggested installing CleanSpace and Mold-X.

Mold-X is a treatment applied to where the mold has formed or may form and will eliminate all traces of the mold. While the mold was destroyed, the crawl space still needed to stay dry to keep the mold away. Thus, CleanSpace was installed, which utilizes a heavy-duty plastic liner that lines the entire crawlspace. The liner creates a moisture barrier and will prevent any moisture from getting into Bonny's crawl space! After everything was installed, Bonnie could breathe fresh air within her home!

Ryan was searching for a more sufficient support system for his basement to replace the weak column he currently had. He came across Ayers and saw that we offer some great solutions to what he was looking for so he made the call. We sent a team to his home to conduct a free inspection and it was decided that SmartJacks would be the best solution.

SmartJacks offer Ryan a great solution since they are a supplemental support system that supports sagging beams and floor joists. His existing column had failed and settled so he needed a more sufficient, long-lasting solution. These are much stronger as well since they are made of steel columns, threaded rods, and a solid base. 

Ryan was pleased with this new, trustworthy support system that offers him a permanent solution!

Kerry was upset by how much water was pooling on the floor in her basement. She knew this wasn't a good sign and made the decision to give Ayers a call. We sent a team of trained specialists to her home to inspect the site of concern. According to the experts, the best solution to her problem was the TripleSafe sump pump system. With a three-pump design, the TripleSafe system proactively plans for pump failure using a backup pump and a battery-powered pump in case of power outages. The TripleSafe system ensures that Kerry's basement will be dry in the short and long term!

The arrival of spring is - for most - a happy occasion. These customers weren’t as fortunate. Whenever the season changed, the melting snow would fill up the soil around their home and leak through their walls. This is a fairly common problem, especially for poured concrete walls. To solve it, we use the FlexiSpan system. The two-layer sealant acts in, you guessed it, two distinct steps. One layer plugs the leak and creates a durable and flexible seal, in case the expanding soil continues to push and move the wall. The second layer is for drainage. A polymer coating placed over the first seal won’t allow water to enter the basement. Also included in the FlexiSpan system is a drainage system that sits at the foot of the wall. If water does happen to pass through the first layer of sealant, it will flow behind the drainage layer and into the system. When spring time rolls around next year, these customers can focus on enjoying the sun instead of worrying about leaks. 

As you can see in the before photo, the stone walls in this basement were having a hard time keeping water out. The leaking water would enter through the walls and then flow down to the floor where it would puddle and result in the large, dark spots in the photo. The owners planned on remodeling and finishing the basement, but as of now, all they wanted was a waterproof system that would put an end to the leaks and floor puddles.

In the after photo, you can see our solution – CleanSpace Vapor Barrier Walls. The white plastic liner is impenetrable by moisture and spreads from the top of the wall to the floor. Any water that leaks into the basement will flow behind the barrier and down the wall. But this time, instead of puddling on the floor, that water will go into a newly installed perimeter drainage system that rests in the floor and wall joint. Neither the walls or floors will show water damage again.
