Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

A customer from Orleans wanted help with her floors that were starting to droop. We gave her a free estimate and then decided that we need to install Smart Jacks underneath the floor (in the crawlspace) to reinforce the structure of the floor. The SmartJack is a support system used to stabilize and level the floor joists in a crawl space. This system can support up to 60,000 pounds. The SmartJack system is placed on strong concrete fillings that have replaced the soil in that small location underneath the SmartJack. Now this homeowner should never worry again about their droopy floors.

Don and Nancy called us because the walls in their basement were cracking and literally getting ready to fall down. These walls were caving inward and needed serious attention. Our team of experts decided it would be best to use our Wall Anchors to bring the walls back to their original position over time. Wall anchors are one of the best options to fix a wall problem because they can fix very severe cracks/bowing, can be installed around obstacles such as pipes, its a quick installation and in the end, it restores property value. The only time someone would not be able to use wall anchors is if your house is very close to other people's houses because some digging on the outside of the home is required. 

This Quincy, MI, homeowner had battled basement moisture and water intrusion in his 1940s home for 35 years. The cold, damp basement made the home uncomfortable, and over time, the problem worsened. Ready for a permanent basement waterproofing solution, he contacted Ayers. Our team installed the CleanSpace wall system to encapsulate the leaky fieldstone walls, sealing out moisture. To further protect the basement, we added a WaterGuard drainage system to funnel any incoming water into a SuperSump Plus pump, safely directing it away from the home. A SaniDry dehumidifier was also installed to control basement humidity and ensure a dry, usable space. The homeowner was thrilled to have his long-standing wet basement issue resolved, and his home is now secure from future water damage and mold.

Cinder block walls in crawl spaces are known for their lack of water and air resistant properties. Their porous and leaky features lead to water seeping in which was what we found in this Marshall, MI crawl space.

With CleanSpace wrapped around the walls, this liner will act as a vapor barrier to keep moisture out of the house. CleanSpace is durable and mold resistant and transformed this area from wet to dry. 

Paul complained that his basement was a little drafty. He noticed that draft  was coming from the basement window. We helped by installing our EverLast windows. EverLast windows are energy-efficient and all vinyl windows. They are double-pane glass, will not let any wind in, and are rot and mildew-resistant.
