Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Linda and Patrick were ready to get their foundation walls in the basement secured after noticing them starting to bow. They called Ayers professionals after realizing this wasn't an issue they could just tackle on their own. We sent a team to inspect her basement walls and it was decided we would install our GeoLock Anchors. 

These GeoLock Anchors will permanently stabilize their basement walls which offers the best chance to straighten these walls without the cost and disruption of foundation replacement. This system consists of galvanized, heavy duty earth anchors that are embedded in stable, undisturbed soil outside your foundation wall. Each anchor is connected by a steel rod to a wall plate that will provide clamping pressure against the inside of the foundation wall.

Linda and Patrick were grateful to get these vital bowing walls stabilized in place, keeping her home thoroughly protected from these troubling outside forces!

Cindy was worried about water leaking into her basement and running down the seam of the floor and walls. She wasn't sure what the problem was, so she researched her options and called Ayers for assistance. We sent a crew of professionals to her home to evaluate the situation and recommend a solution. They realized Cindy's drainage pipes were clogged and suggested installing WaterGuard. Drainage pipe systems are typically placed alongside the footing rather than on top, while WaterGuard does the opposite to prevent clogging. Cindy loves having a dry home!

Brian realized the support beams underneath his home were decaying from rapid mold growth. He knew this must be fixed, so he called Ayers for help. We sent a crew of experts to examine the issue and recommend a solution. They suggested CleanSpace, an antimicrobial lined vapor barrier applied in one piece to the walls and floors of the crawl space. This encapsulates the area to prevent moisture entry and mold growth. Brian is happy to have a clean and dry crawl space!

Amanda's home in Casnovia, MI, was built in 1900 and needed crawl space encapsulation to eradicate the musty smells and dampness. She called Ayers after discovering we specialize in crawl space repair solutions. Our team concluded from an inspection that CleanSpace would be perfect. CleanSpace is a heavy-duty plastic liner that creates a barrier between the moist soil and the home. The liner covers the crawl space floor and walls. The vapor barrier it holds will prevent the buildup of moisture that leads to mold and these musty smells. Amanda's crawl space is unrecognizable as it looks and smells much cleaner!

This home had been dealing with water issues for quite some time. Water would leak through cracks in the easily penetrable block walls and flow down to the floor and puddle. Unfortunately, the sump pump that was already in the basement couldn’t keep up with the leakage.  Wanting to get back the peace of mind that a dry basement offers, the homeowner decided to give us a call.

Our system design specialist drew up a plan to capture water and force it out of the basement. A perimeter drainage system would collect water that leaked down the walls and then forced it to a new and more reliable sump pump. More specifically, the top of the line sump pump – TripleSafe. With two backup pumps, the sump is guaranteed to continue working during power outages or if the original pump becomes overpowered. The two discharge lines (seen in the after picture) also enable the system to discharge more water than the previous one-line sump. Hopefully, with the drainage and TripleSafe system working together, this waterproofing issue is solved permanently.
