Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

The moisture issues in this crawl space were turning it into a disaster. Mold was growing on the wooden floor joists, the insulation in the ceiling was hanging, and even the vents were starting to rust. Since the owners only used the cottage part time, they had no idea just how bad their crawl space was. But when they found out, they knew they would need a permanent solution. Our crew gave them one with the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System. CleanSpace is an inorganic plastic liner that can be used to encapsulate both a crawl space’s floor and walls. Which is perfect since a dirt floor is one of the major sources of entry for outside air. The plastic material won’t allow for mold growth or moisture permeation. CleanSpace Vapor barrier is the perfect product to protect your crawl space from moisture. 

This Stanwood couple wanted to have their crawl space encapsulated due to dampness and cold air in the crawl space. They were also worried that snakes, spiders, and rodents would get into the home from the crawl space without it being "sealed off." We installed Drainage Matting and the CleanSpace Liner to keep out pests, water vapor, and humidity from the crawl space as well as the home.

A couple in Stanwood, MI, worried about mold in their crawl space, especially since it was open to the basement and could affect their children's health. They wanted a clean, dry space where their family could spend time together, so they contacted us for help. After a free inspection, our team encapsulated the crawl space and installed a dehumidifier to seal out moisture and prevent mold growth. Now, they have peace of mind knowing their home is healthier and ready for family activities!

Every spring this home would struggle to keep up with the water that leaked into the basement after the snow thawed. There was already a sump pump in place, but it wasn’t capable of discharging the necessary amount of water to keep the basement dry. After the crew installed a perimeter drainage system that would direct all leakage to the sump, the owner also thought it would be a good idea to upgrade the sump pump system as well. The sump in the after photo is one of our more dependable sump pump systems, the SuperSump. Luckily for the owner, the basement only leaked during extreme weather, so it made sense for him to go with one of our more cost-effective sumps that would provide full protection only when needed. It was the perfect upgrade to complement the rest of this Muskegon, MI basement’s new waterproofing system.

The story behind the cracked garage wall in this house was interesting. The wall had been hit by a car which obviously then caused the wall to begin crumbling. This also caused some of the bricks in the basement to crack. Both of these problems needed to be addressed and fixed.

Our team decided the best option was to put wall anchors in the garage to help pull the wall back to its original position. We chose to put our Carbon Armor straps in the basement since the damage wasn't as severe as in the garage. The wall anchors put in the garage are the most versatile wall repair method to use in most situations. They can fix very severe problems but are also installed independently of the floor so there's no additional strain. They can also be easily installed around obstacles on the wall such as pipes, cupboards, toilets, etc.
