Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Charles worried about the ability of moisture to enter his home through the crawl space. He wasn't convinced that his crawl space vents were fighting the problem, so he called Ayers. We sent a team of experts to his home to investigate and recommend a solution. Charles had open vents allowing outside air and moisture to enter his home, causing mold growth, leading to structural damage. The team decided to install the CleanSpace vapor barrier, an antimicrobial-lined material specifically designed to prevent and eliminate mold growth. Charles is excited to have a dry, mold-free crawl space!

Rob was worried about the small wall crack he had in his wall spreading so he decided to take action. He called Ayers for possible solutions and we sent out a crew for a free inspection. After scanning this wall crack over, it was decided that Rob would need our FlexiSpan solution.

The benefit of FlexiSpan being that this is the best option to tackle small wall cracks before they spread into something worse. It is especially nice if you are not looking to pay for a full remodel. This solution is made of a watertight, flexible sealant that covers the entire length of the crack. Then another drainage layer is added so that if water did permeate the membrane, it would flow down the original wall out of sight and would be directed to your drainage system. As you can see in the after picture, our WaterGuard System was added below the FlexiSpan solution on the wall which is a sub-floor drainage system for any water to flow.

Rob was thrilled to have this wall crack sealed before it jeopardized the safety of his home!

One of our crews at Ayers inspected Sheila's North Adams, Michigan, home to decipher the best solution for water intrusion. We determined our WaterGuard system would be the best option to keep water outside the home. WaterGuard, a specially designed interior drainage system, collects water leaks and directs them to a sump pump. We installed this piping along the perimeter of the basement on top of the foundation's footing. As water leaks through the walls and falls to the floor, WaterGuard collects it within the subfloor drain, preventing water damage. Pouring concrete over the system conceals it within the basement floor. Sheila is grateful to receive the professional help her basement desperately requires!

Christine noticed her old sump pump was no longer doing the trick. It wasn't keeping up with the water leaking into the basement, so she called Ayers for a more efficient replacement. Our professionals recommended our TripleSafe sump pump system. This solution consists of three trustworthy pumps that fit in one durable liner. The third pump is even battery-powered to ensure it runs during power outages. Christine is relieved now that she has a better sump pump to tackle the leaks!

This Harrison, MI home had just been put on the market when the owners were told that the crawl space would need to be dried out before the home could be sold. Looking for a solution that would satisfy both the inspector and buyers without breaking the bank, the owners gave Ayers a call.

To pump water out and keep it that way, the crew installed a SmartSump. The sump will collect any water that enters the crawl space and direct it outside for drainage. Before completing the job, the crew covered the drainage pipe seen in the after photo with gravel. The owners chose to go with the 1/3 horse power pump which is capable of pumping out 2,500 gallons per hour. With any water that passes through the dirt floor being swiftly removed, this crawl space will no longer hinder sales.
