Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

A customer from Rapid City needed help with their less than exceptional crawlspace. The wanted to update it an they called the professionals to do just the job. We inspected his home and decided to install our CleanSpace technology. 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 won't have to worry about a messy and damp crawlspace ever again.

Eva worried about a musty smell wafting through her house and wondered if visitors could smell it also. She didn't want to wait for an answer, so she researched and called Ayers to learn about our waterproofing solutions. We sent experts to her home, who recommended installing the CleanSpace vapor barrier. CleanSpace fully encapsulates the crawl space to eliminate moisture and is antimicrobial-lined to prevent mold growth. No more nasty smells for Eva!

Mary realized she had an old sump pump that wasn't quite doing the trick. She needed to replace it, so she called Ayers to hear about our waterproofing solutions. The crew visited her home and recommended installing TripleSafe. This is a sump pump system equipped to avoid failure with a backup and a battery-powered pump that automatically turn on during pump or power failure. Mary is happy to have a fully functioning pump and a dry basement!

Donald found his home's block foundation completely misaligned. The damage was so bad he called Ayers for an assessment. Our resident foreman Evan inspected the area and drafted a treatment plan.

Evan and his team installed SmartJack piers. SmartJack piers are metal beams placed strategically along the structure's supportive rim joist. The bottoms are anchored into the ground with poured concrete while the tops are capped with load-bearing joints that are attached to the rim joist. The entire pier's height is adjusted till there is constant pressure being applied, reintroducing support to the entire framework. 

Donald and Meredith’s home was built in 1941. A foundation wall recently fell in, leaving a gaping hole in the side of their Carson City, MI house. The couple called Ayers Basement Systems for an inspection immediately. Our crew determined that they would need SmartJacks and Helical Piers to stabilize the foundation. 

SmartJacks are steel supports that balance the foundation of the crawlspace, lifting it to its original position. They can be adjusted so the home will never shift out of place and are anchored into the ground with poured concrete. Helical Piers are made of steel helix-shaped blades that are screwed into the soil and the piers that can be extended to the appropriate depth. They're attached to the foundation’s footing, so the weight is evenly distributed and the home is permanently sturdy.

Donald and Meredith were ecstatic when we cleared out the old mess of a fallen wall and promptly stabilized their home. They can sleep soundly at night knowing this nightmare is over and they can go back to their lives with more peace of mind.
