Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Michelle was having a problem with squeaking floors in the upper portion of her home. This is due to sagging floors which are a direct result of unwanted moisture in her crawl space. A dirt floor crawl space leaves the whole home open to outside elements and moisture. This can weaken floorboards and cause the floor to sag. To help with the moisture our team installed CleanSpace, an uninterrupted vapor barrier that restricts all moisture, outside air, and pests from entering your crawl space. This system creates an energy-efficient space by restricting air movement and controlling the temperature. CleanSpace will stop any future sagging due to moisture and give the basement a more clean and sleek look.

Robert and Nancy from Leslie, MI, were dealing with dust, musty odors, and poor air quality in their home—issues that even affected their new cat. After meeting with Ayers, they chose to encapsulate their crawl space and install a SaniDry™ dehumidifier. Now, the air is cleaner, the odors are gone, and their home feels warmer and healthier.

James tried adding protection to his crawl space with a store-bought tarp. Our professionals at Ayers know this is only a temporary band-aid to the problem. James knew a permanent solution was required to tackle his crawl space issues, so he called Ayers. Our crew inspected the area and let James know CleanSpace would provide the necessary protection. CleanSpace utilizes a vapor barrier that prevents the growth of nasty mold or bacteria. This solution is a thick plastic liner that covers the crawl space floor and walls. The liner will repel moisture development and other outside pests that prosper in these areas. James feels more at ease with his crawl space sealed permanently!

After a questionable foundation repair to this Cement City, MI home, the owners began to notice that they’re basement didn’t look quite right. There were cracks in the foundation and front porch. Not to mention, both the floors upstairs and porch seemed to be sagging and uneven. In other words, the foundation was starting to settle. The owners wanted to keep their basement separate from the upstairs for a little while longer, so they made a call to the basement and foundation experts, Ayers Basement Systems.

To fix this settling foundation, the crew used SmartJacks. The jacks are usually used to repair the floor above sagging crawl spaces, but thanks to their adjustability, the jacks were perfect for this low basement ceiling. Similar to the installation process for crawl spaces, the SmartJacks were attached to previously installed reinforcement beams in the ceiling and lodged into the concrete slab at floor level. The SmartJacks will reduce the amount of stress on the foundation and stabilize the ceiling back to its original position.

A crawl space moisture problem called us out to this Cement City, MI home. The owner thought there might be moisture in the crawl space, but he wasn’t sure. He did know that he wanted to waterproof the entire area and his basement, too. After completing the waterproofing, the team installed 3 vent covers for the new crawl space. The benefit of a cover is that things are kept out. Critters, moisture and air, hot or cold, can enter through an open vent at any time. Our vent covers create an airtight seal that will keep this newly encapsulated crawl space clean and protected.
