Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Our customer’s floors were sagging and they were concerned about foundation settlement. Often, sagging floors are caused by columns under the floor being spaced too far away from one another, weak floor joists, or column settlement. Our team used PolyLevel to raise the floors inside of their home. Polylevel can be used for interior or exterior slab leveling, requires fewer holes for injection and is environmentally friendly.

This basement would leak down the walls after heavy rains and onto the tile floor. As you can see in the before photo, the wood panels had a bit of water damage towards the bottom of them. To help repair the problem, the crew installed a WaterGuard perimeter drainage system at the foot of the walls. They cut the bottom portions of the walls to remove the stains. Before the perimeter system could be installed, the tile and floor needed to be excavated to make room for the pipes. The after photo shows where fresh concrete was poured to cover the system and the SuperSump system that will pump out any water in the WaterGuard. With those two systems, there will be no more leaks in this basement.

The before photo shows the unprotected crawl space and where moisture would come through the dirt floor and walls. Around the edges of the crawl space, water had started to puddles up and dampen the dirt floor. The walls had also started to stain from moisture. CleanSpace vapor barrier was the solution to keeping water out and improving the living conditions of this home. The moisture liner blocks out water and won’t allow for mold growth either. Also seen in the after photo are the SilverGlo panels and FrothPak insulation. SilverGlo wall panels and FrothPak are a form of insulation that keeps out air and humidity. All three products create an airtight seal that won’t allow moisture or imperfect temperatures to enter. 

Let's be real no one ever thinks they're house is going to catch fire, or flood, or have something tragic happen. BUT, it does happen all the time. An egress window is a great idea to have in your basement because it allows a second way out in case of an emergency. The building code now also requires that every new home have two exits. 

We installed this egress window in this family's partially finished basement so they can have peace of mind that everyone is safe and can escape if needed.

Sinking, uneven concrete can be dangerous, it can look bad and it can lower the resale value of your home. PolyLevel is a very easy way to fix your concrete. We drill penny size holes in the concrete and inject structural grade polymers in to raise the concrete back to its desired height. The polymers are waterproof so they won't wash out and they cure very quickly so your cement can be drove on almost instantly after the process is completed.
