Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

The crawl space under the addition of this house was having a serious pest problem. Mice were a common occurrence and had started chewing through wires. Open crawl spaces commonly attract a wide range of bugs and critters. The moisture and humidity make them perfect for catching and hanging out with other creatures in the crawl space hotel the owners were involuntarily running. To solve this problem, the crew installed an ultimate energy saver combination. With SilverGlo Wall insulation and a CleanSpace Vapor barrier, the humidity and moisture in this crawl space will be a thing of the past. The walls and liner are durable and built to keep things out. And with the moisture, so too go the favorable living conditions that critters look for. With one product installation, this home went from pests to energy efficiency. 

When we received a call from some of our past customers in Grand Haven, MI with a request for basement window replacements, we initially thought they wanted a few egress windows installed. Many people prefer the egress because of the amount of light it lets in compared to traditional basement windows. But that wasn't the case in this situation. These homeowners wanted to install glass block windows, with the hope that they would stand up to the elements better than the traditional pane windows seen in the before photo.

The after photo shows the glass block windows after the installation and the drying cement that will create a seal strong enough to give this basement the Ayers waterproofing guarantee. Not pictured in the after photo is one window attached vent that will allow the basement plumbing lines to be drained during the winter without fear of flooding. 

This homeowner wasn't sure how much water seepage there was in his crawl space. All he knew was that he wanted it cleaned up so that he didn't have to worry about it. It's a good thing that he did. He did have evidence of some water seepage and some clear access points for water to get in from the outside.

Not only were we able to help him with our CleanSpace encapuslation system which creates a barrier on the walls and floors to keep harmful vapors from entering the crawl space, but it also helps direct water that seeps in to the drain for removal from the home. In addition to helping this homeowner with water related issues, we were also able to help him score some energy savings and more comfortable living conditions with some SilverGlo insulation on the crawl space walls. SilverGlo helps reflect heat and keep the floors above warmer and more enjoyable to walk on. We also put spray foam in all cracks, gaps, and rim joists to prevent unwanted cool or humid air from leaking in. This homeowner is now in ultimate control of his crawl space rather than simply letting nature take its course. No more worries. 

Dan and Jan wanted an Egress window installed in the basement of their condominium. Due to poor insulation around the window, most windows offer minimal protection against outside air entering the home. Egress windows help ventilate your indoor areas and prevent unwanted allergens from entering your house. So, our team installed an Egress window which will help keep Dan and Janes' condominium better insulated.

John’s walls started bowing in his basement so he called our team. We installed PowerBrace, a foundation repair system. It secures basement walls in place and overtime it will straighten them. Often outside pressures can cause your basement walls to crack or tilt, this foundation repair system counteracts these pressures by keeping your basement walls in place. Over time, the system can be tightened to not only secure the walls in place, but to also straighten them.
