Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

A customer from Cadillac contacted us in regards to the status of their crawlspace. He  wanted our help insulating it and keeping all of the moisture out. We went to his home and took a look for ourselves. After evaluation, we offered to install our advanced CleanSpace technology to solve the problem for good. CleanSpace is a 20 mil thick plastic liner that fits to the crawl space to completely seal the home from the earth. Polyester cord reinforcement allows for a lot of durability, to make it last longer than the home will. This liner also contains an antimicrobial additive to prevent mold. Now this homeowner will have a dry and healthy cleanspace for good.

Our friends in Cadillac called us with concerns with their current crawlspace.  As the home is located near a high water table, humidity is high so the chance of water entering through the crawlspace increases.  At Ayers Basement Systems, we recommend upgrading existing crawlspaces with two products: CleanSpace and SilverGlo.  CleanSpace is a white vapor barrier that protects the house from invasive humidity and temperatures from the ground.  SilverGlo (not pictured) goes on the wall to further insulate the crawlspace.  With the addition of a sump pump, these upgrades will help to save money, reduce cold temperatures, and eliminate any organisms growing under our houses such as mold or dust mites. 

Michigan weather is one of the harshest climates for concrete.  Whether roads or driveways, cracking and sinking is bound to happen due to the many freezing and thawing cycles that Michigan throws at us.  One of the best ways to fix and prevent sinking concrete is with a foam solution called PolyLevel.  PolyLevel is injected under the cement slab through a small incision and acts as an expanding foam to fill in any gaps return the concrete back to its normal self.  The foam then hardens, allowing for the empty space to be controlled and prevent any future sinking or cracking.  

Brian's feet had been cold since the temperature dropped in the fall. He couldn't stand the feeling, so he researched his options and called Ayers for help. Our experts stopped by his home to evaluate and recommended installing the CleanSpace vapor barrier. The vents in Brian's crawl space allowed cold air to enter his home. CleanSpace encapsulates the crawl space walls and floors and is antimicrobial-lined to eliminate moisture entry and mold growth. Brian's floor is cold no more!

Duane and Joy just bought their secondary vacation home in Cadillac, MI and were worried about the humidity in the springtime. The couple wanted a clean start to the home, so they called Ayers Basement Systems for a quote for any waterproofing measures that would be needed. Our crew came out for an inspection, and determined that our TripleSafe sump pump, drainage matting, and Clean Space Wall System would be perfect for their home's crawl space. 

The TripleSafe sump pump system utilizes three pumps in order to remove excess water from the crawl space. The second and third pumps are in case of emergencies so the space can remain dry, even when the power goes out. Drainage matting is a liner for the crawl space that is placed underneath the CleanSpace plastic liner. If the crawl space ever gets wet, the dimpled mat allows water to pass below to the sump pump. CleanSpace Wall System is a moisture barrier that uses a thick plastic liner along crawl space walls to keep them dry and last decades longer. It also has antibacterial properties that prevent mold and bacteria growth. Damp air takes more energy to heat and cool. Cutting down on the moisture in the crawl space, in turn, will cut down on how much it costs to heat or cool the home. 

Duane and Joy were ecstatic with the service and products provided by Ayers. They are grateful for the peace of mind knowing their new home is safe and dry for them and their family. The couple cannot wait to start making new memories together in their Cadillac, MI home.
