Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Winter is a tough time for all of us, even our homes.  Cold temperatures are able to cause higher energy bills and cold feet due to improper crawlspace insulation.   Improper crawl space and insulation can costs hundreds of dollars in the span of a year; thousands over the life span of a home and it is cost effective to upgrade your crawlspace insultation in the long run.  To help save energy, reduce humidity, and reduce the amount of cold air entering your house, we recommend a crawl space upgrade with CleanSpace and SilverGlo.  CleanSpace is a white vapor barrier that is used to reduce humidity and keep those creepy animals out of your home and crawl space.  SilverGlo is wall insulation that helps keep any cold and humidity from entering your home.  With these two additions to your crawlspace, energy savings as well as reduced humidity and moderate temperatures make it well worth it.  

Bob rents this home to collage students in the area. The garage has a corner that has settled which has been an issue for a while but he wants it fixed before it gets any worse. We used Helical Piers to stabilize the garage. Helical Piers can have sections added to be able to reach stable soil in which the piers will anchor in. The system stabilizes the structure but also restores it to the original position. The installation is fast and can be done year round so no need to worry about the season, we can fix your settled home anytime!

Dan does not have water issues in his home but his basement walls were flaking due to effervescence. He wants to finish the space but was unsure how to go about it so we installed Brightwall Basement Wall Panels. These wall panels are plastic sheets that are attached to the walls with drilled-in plastic fasteners. The bright, white color of the wall paneling maximizes the light in the basement which creates a clean and fresh look. They are also waterproof and create a vapor barrier to block out water vapor and humidity to protect from mold and rotting. 

This Grand Rapids home has a basement what was partially finished by the previous owners. The new owners want to finish the whole basement and noticed that some areas that were already finished needed to be redone. They called us to see what we could do to get their basement ready. We installed the Basement to Beautiful Panels to insulate the space and get the walls ready for paneling!

Mr. Emmert was suffering from foundational issues that were causing unsightly problems with his basement. Wanting to keep the space usable as a gym, he contacted Ayers to find a stabilization method that would give his home the best support, all while saving as much space as possible. After contacting our team, Ayers's resident foreman Blade was able to inspect the home and draft a treatment plan that met Mr. Emmert's needs and budget.

Blade prescribed PowerBraces for the structure. By lining the weak wall with steel beams that fix to the rim joist, they are able to push the wall back into place all while adding new support to the basement. A permeate solution, these braces can be easily hidden or even have drywall placed over it.

Now Mr. Emmert has a safe and stable home, all while never sacrificing living space.
