Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

When this family moved into their St. Joseph, MI home and started experiencing allergies, they started researching what the cause could be. The home had a crawl space that wasn’t encapsulated, and after reading about how damp crawl space air can travel up through the home due to the Stack Effect, they decided to give us a call. Our team installed CleanSpace in the crawl space to seal off the home from the earth and help keep moisture out in the future. CleanSpace is a durable, thick liner made of polyester cord reinforcement. The liner blocks out water vapor from both the walls and dirt floor, keeping the air in the crawl space drier and healthier.

Kevin called us as he was nearing the closing on his new home. He was wanting to finish the basement and the first step was making sure that water wouldn't be an issue followed by the need for a new egress window. We were able to help check both of those first two items off the list. With the WaterGuard perimeter drainage system and an expertly installed egress window, the basement is well on its way. The WaterGuard System is installed along the footing of the home along and then concrete is replaced over top to make a smooth floor. It will collect water as it enters the basement and direct it to the new sump pump system for removal from the home. The egress well was dug out and proper drainage was accomodated for. The window was installed and properly sealed around the outside. Now Kevin just has to finish the walls and floors and the basement will be looking good. We do walls and floors at Ayers as well. Perhaps we will have an opportunity to work with Kevin again in the future.

One of Carol's basement walls was bowing. Knowing it would cause more issues in the future, Carol contacted our team. We installed the PowerBrace system in order to keep her walls secure. In addition, over time the system can be tightened to not only stabilize the wall, but to also straighten it to its original position.

Kim had been finding water in her basement for a while. Her only solution was to use a shop vacuum to keep up with the water leakage. To prevent water from entering her home, our team installed Egress Windows and Wells. Most windows offer minimal protection against outside air entering the home due to poor insulation around the window. Egress windows will help ventilate your indoor areas and prevent unwanted allergens from entering your house.

Ted called our team because he needed new basement windows and so we installed Egress Windows. Due to poor insulation around the window, most windows offer minimal protection against outside air entering the home. Egress windows help ventilate your indoor areas and prevent unwanted allergens from entering your house. So, our team installed an Egress window which will help keep Ted’s condominium better insulated.
