Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

This Roscommon couple have been in their home for about 2 years. Since they moved in, the front porch slab had been sinking but the settling was causing the columns to pull away from the ceiling. This was super concerning to the homeowners and they wanted a fix for it. We used a light weight foam called PolyLevel so lift the concrete slab back up to the original level. By leveling out the porch, the columns are stabilized and don't pull away anymore. To seal any cracks we used NexusPro Crack Repair which keeps water and debris from getting under the concrete and degrading it. 

Our customer bought her home in 2016. An addition was built in 2009, that later became the kitchen. The floorboards were starting to pull apart and sag. This was causing damage to the integrity of the foundation as well as being a potential safety hazard. The customer called Ayers for an inspection and our crew determined that she would need SmartJacks installed in her crawl space to better stabilize the home. 

SmartJacks are steel supports that balance the foundation of the crawl space, lifting it to its original position. They are anchored into the ground with poured concrete and can be adjust so the home will never shift out of place. After the install, our crew was able to achieve a little more than an inch of lift. Techs will return in about a year from now to tighten the SmartJacks to get more lift out of them. 

The customer was at home during the installation and was more than satisfied with the work done. She was relieved that she no longer had to worry about falling through her floors. 

Jim and Debra, homeowners in Roscommon, MI, needed professional crawlspace repairs to address cold floors, musty smells, and past pipe issues. They wanted a safe, allergy-friendly space for their kids and grandkids, with filtered air. Ayer's Crawlspace Solutions provided the perfect solution, installing CleanSpace, Drainage Matting, rim joist insulation, and Sanidry. The couple was thrilled with the crew’s dedication and the improved warmth of their floors, praising the high-quality work and excellent results.

These Beaverton, MI customers called because they were interested in crawl space insulation and an encapsulation. As you can see in the before photo, they already had a system in place, but sadly, it wasn’t getting the job done. Many use plastic tarps like these to encapsulate their crawl spaces. The problem is they’re not guaranteed to keep water out, at least, not like our CleanSpace system. CleanSpace is a vapor barrier that is impenetrable by moisture.

Seen in the after photo, the liner covers the entire dirt floor, one of the most common places for moisture to enter crawl spaces. To give the customers the insulation they were looking for, the crew also installed the silver wall panels in the after photo. These panels are referred to as our SilverGlo Wall Insulation. The silver surface reflects heat back to its source, just like the radiant barriers placed behind car windshields. With these two systems in place, this crawl space is now protected from moisture and abnormal temperatures. 

Calvin J. from Beaverton, MI has a sump pump in his basement but was still getting water in his basement and could not figure out why. Good thing for him, he gave us a call for a fix.

We installed our patented WaterGuard French drain system for this job. The WaterGuard drain is placed beneath the basement floor but above the foundation footing, collecting water that seeps into the basement from the walls. Once this water is collected in the drain, it is redirected to the sump pump to be pumped up and out fo the basement.
