Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Jane’s concrete floor in her garage was cracking so she called our team. We installed PolyLevel, a waterproof and long-lasting system designed to fix concrete slabs that have sunk. It uses a polyurethane foam that expands and has a high density in order to lift the concrete slabs back to their original level. The process is quite simple and is done by drilling small holes into the concrete and then inserting the foam into the holes.

Have you ever seen a sidewalk that looks like its falling apart, its pretty ugly right? Well, it's also very unsafe. We got a call from a church referring to their unsafe sidewalks. We knew exactly how to fix it which is done with our PolyLevel technology.

PolyLevel is an advanced polymer-based injection foam that we blast into the concrete through tiny little holes that are smaller than a dime. This foam will raise the concrete back to its original level and make it stronger than ever before. PolyLevel worked to raise and level out the concrete slabs while dealing with the weak soils below that were no longer able to hold the weight of the home above. We drilled multiple small holes into the concrete slabs in order to inject them with a polymer material that expanded to lift and level out the concrete. Once injected, the system only needed about 15 minutes to fully cure and the slabs were then stabilized and lifted to their proper level, and stronger than ever before. Now, this homeowner will not have to worry about this ever again.

Mark from Muskegon, MI needed his basement waterproofed. After going out for our free inspection, we decided that the best case of action was to suggest to Mark that we install our WaterGuard Below Floor Drain.

As its name states, WaterGuard rests below your floor slab, but on top of the foundation footing. This is important because now that it’s on top of the footing, mud will not get into the drain and clog it, simply because the drain is not sitting in the mud. The WaterGuard also has a drain outlet directly to the sump pump and will not cause any damage to the foundation. Also, since it's installed below the floor slab, you won't even be able to notice that it's there once it's completely installed.

There simply isn't an interior waterproofing system that is more efficient and longer lasting than our WaterGuard system, so if your basement is in need of some waterproofing, pick up the phone and give Ayers a call!

Crawlspace protection is important and often mislooked by homeowners. To fully protect your crawlspace, Ayers recommends the combination of CleanSpace and a SaniDry dehumidifier to create a healthy environment for your crawlspace. The CleanSpace vapor barrier (white) blocks moisture coming in through the foundation while the SaniDry (not pictured) takes the moisture out of the air to prevent wood rot, mold growth and musty smells.  Together, these additions create an effective environment that will save energy bills as well as keep your home and you healthy.  

We received a call from an individual looking to buy this Muskegon home. Despite their interest, they had one major concern; there was a crack in the cement block foundation, and the wall was beginning to bow. Luckily, they won't have to look elsewhere due to this concern, because we have just the right foundation repair solutions for situations like these.

The PowerBrace Wall Repair System is the ideal way to stabilize failing foundation walls. Installing our PowerBrace system to walls that are either bowing, buckings, or tilting inwards can halt any further movement and could even potentially straighten the wall back to its original position. The PowerBrace consists of steel I-beams that are secured to the joists above the wall with steel brackets. In the event that the PowerBrace needs to be tightened, the system can be adjusted with ease.

Also, this system doesn't involve any exterior excavation and has a very fast installation time with minimal disruption to your basement. So whether you are house-hunting or getting your own house together, our PowerBrace system is perfect if you need foundation walls to be stabilized.
