Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Jacob plans on finishing his Kentwood, MI basement and wants to add another bedroom. To do so, he called Ayers for an inspection for an egress window installation. 

Egress windows from Ayers bring safety and beauty in one. Building codes require that basement living spaces must have a large enough window to safely evacuate in case of emergency. Our windows have built-in steps and durable covers that hold up to 500 pounds. Because adding an egress window requires cutting a hole in the foundation, a window installation company is not the safest option. Ayers knows foundations and knows how to install an egress window properly. 

Jason was thrilled with the installation done by the Ayers crew. He was more than satisfied with the egress window and can’t wait to finish the rest of the basement! 

Marcy was sick of the foundation crack that was causing her all sorts of trouble like water leaks. She made the right call talking to Ayers and getting an appointment set up. After an inspection we went forward with installing CarbonArmor and our CleanSpace Wall System to address these issues. First with Carbon Armor these carbon fiber straps will fix the bowing wall by preventing further inward movement. Then with the CleanSpace Wall System this will cover these foundation walls and act as a vapor barrier to combat excess vapor or moisture with its poly sheet material. 

Marcy was happy to get these serious issues resolved before they jeopardized the safety of her home!

Janice was hoping to put an end to the puddles of water that would form in her basement due to water intrusion so she decided to call Ayers. After our crew came out to her home to inspect the area, it was determined that she could use our WaterGuard System as well as our TripleSafe Sump Pump System. First with WaterGuard this is a drainage system placed below the concrete flooring in the basement along the perimeter to ensure water is collected here rather than going on the floor. It will be concealed with concrete and hooked to the TripleSafe Sump Pump we added next. With TripleSafe, this is a three pump system that fits in one sturdy liner that keeps water out. The last two pumps are there for backup and one is battery-operated for power outages. Janice was happy to have these troublesome puddles resolved!

Steve’s front porch was cracking and settling, raising concerns about safety and stability. He wanted a permanent fix without the cost of a full replacement, so he called Ayers for an expert solution. Our team installed helical piers beneath the slab, anchoring it to stable soil for lasting support. Now, Steve’s porch is level, secure, and built to stand the test of time—without breaking the bank!

Ellen's basement walls were cracking, and she worried if they were left untreated, those cracks would continue to grow. She needed help, so she researched and called Ayers to learn about our solutions. A team of experts visited her property to evaluate and recommend a solution. They suggested GeoLock wall anchors, anchored to the failing wall and connected to a ground anchor by a steel rod. The ground anchor is placed away from the home in solid, undisturbed soil to secure the connection. Ellen feels more comfortable in her house!
