Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

A cracking, bowing, tilting, or buckling foundation wall can mean serious trouble for not only your foundation, but for your entire home. To save their foundation wall, this Cetnral Lake, MI family gave us a call. We recommended our patented PowerBrace foundation wall repair system to solve thier problem. PowerBrace uses steel I-beams that secure to the joists above the wall, offering a great amount of support for foundation walls, and may have the power to bring back the walls to their original position. This family no longer has to worry about their safety in their home with PowerBrace.

Barb had a dirt crawl space that was allowing pests into it. She wanted it closed off to keep things out of it as well as keeping it dry. We used Drainage Matting, the CleanSpace Liner, and the SaniDry Sedona to encapsulate the crawl space and keep it dry!

When a Central Lake homeowner discovered alarming 1-2 inch wide cracks, they turned to Ayers. The basement and partial crawlspace felt unused and foreboding, discouraging visits and raising serious concerns about the house's stability, including sagging floors that put recent remodels at risk. Thanks to the installation of our GeoLock Wall Anchor system, we have not only rectified these critical structural concerns but also revitalized a once daunting space. Their investment is now safeguarded, turning a remodeling project into a truly remarkable home, proving the exceptional value and dependability our solutions bring to every homeowner.

Our crew headed to a homeowner in Sumner, Michigan, to install a waterproofing system. Larry's basement had a problem corner where water would creep in. We agreed to install our WaterGuard solution. This interior drainage system is placed along the basement's perimeter to collect water leaks. The drain is concealed with concrete to ensure it blends with the rest of the floor. Any leaks will then get redirected to the sump pump. Larry is glad his worries about water damage are gone! 

We all know doing laundry isn’t the most enjoyable experience, but it’s probably a lot less unpleasant if you have to do it in a basement like this one. The mortar around the cinderblock walls is crumbling, letting moisture into the basement. While the owners have a sump pump, there’s no way for the water from the leaky walls to enter it; that’s where WaterGuard comes in.

Our team installed WaterGuard, a drainage system that’s laid on top of the footing around the perimeter of the basement. This piping collects water from the leaky walls and reroutes it to the sump pump, where it’s then forced out of the basement through a discharge line.

To improve the overall look of the walls, we also installed BrightWall paneling. These plastic panels fastened to the wall brighten the space, while still allowing water from the walls behind it to drain to the WaterGuard system. These panels prevent water vapor from coming through the walls and evaporating the basement, too.

WaterGuard helps eliminate the water from the leaky walls in this basement, while Brightwall paneling dramatically enhances the space. We won’t promise the homeowners that doing their laundry will be fun, but we hope it will be a lot more bearable when it’s done in this bright, dry basement.
