Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Preparing to sell his father’s condo in Grand Rapids, MI, this homeowner was battling a persistent leak that soaked the wall near the window during every rainstorm. With constant cleanup and worries about protecting belongings, he knew the issue had to be resolved before listing the property. Ayers’ System Design Specialist Caleb recommended installing CleanSpace to create a moisture-proof barrier and WaterGuard to direct water away from the foundation. The result? A dry, secure space that eliminated the leak and gave the homeowner peace of mind as he prepped for the sale.

We spoke with Roger, a concerned homeowner in Ashley, Michigan, searching for crawl space repair solutions. He heard Ayers are experts in crawl space repair, so we set up an appointment for a free inspection of this area. Our system design specialists concluded that our CleanSpace solution will keep the crawl space in immaculate shape! CleanSpace is a waterproof and antimicrobial liner that we place on the crawl space floor and walls. This placement provides a barrier between the moist ground and the home. The vapor barrier will prevent excess moisture that leads to mold or bacteria. Store-bought tarps will end up wet and mold-ridden. CleanSpace completely transformed the appearance of this area and will ensure protection with its airtight seal.

Margaret noticed her dining room floor was slanting much more than before. She knew this was an issue, so she began researching contractors for the job. When she called Ayers, we sent our professionals to her house to recommend a solution. They decided to install SmartJacks, floor jacks built to last and utilize a permanent base to reduce load-bearing stress. SmartJacks are also zinc-plated and hot-dipped in galvanized steel to ensure durability. Margaret loves her new stable dining room floor!

Gary was worried about moisture creeping into his house from the crawl space. He called Ayers to learn about our vapor barrier solutions. We sent a team of experts to inspect the location and they decided to install CleanSpace. Designed to eliminate all outside air, moisture, and any unwanted pests, CleanSpace is a plastic sheet wrap for the crawl space floor. The barrier is installed on floors and walls to ensure an uninterrupted defense and a clean-look finish. CleanSpace is also energy-efficient and more durable than standard plastic wrap so it won't tear when walked on. 

We received a call from a concerned homeowner in Frankenmuth, MI who was dealing with a cracked foundation wall. This bowing block foundation wall needed a permanent fix, so we sent a crew for an inspection. Our System Design Specialists concluded from this inspection that CarbonArmor would prevent further wall bowing. CarbonArmor is made of carbon fiber straps that we strap to the wall to keep it from moving any further. These straps are ten times stronger than steel and are adhered to the wall using a strong epoxy resin. The system is secured to the wall with steel brackets, preventing the wall from shifting and cracking again!
