Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Over time, many basements experience shifts in foundation due to natural dirt and settlement movement. This can lead to bowing and curved walls which leads to an unsafe foundation of the home. The Steel I-beams installed in this basement will work to counteract this movement. The PowerBrace system is unique as it can be tightened to help return the walls to their original, straight position. The beams are attached from the ceiling to the floor foundation and the beams are resistant to corrosion and rust. 

The homeowners in Traverse City, MI had a crawl space door that was made of wood. Having a door made of wood can lead to problems for you and your crawl space. The wood could warp or crack because of weather causing you to need to replace it more frequently than you would prefer. Another problem with the wood door is that it fits loosely enough to let insects, rodents and fridgid winter air into your crawl space. The door can also let leaves, debris and water into the crawl space leaving you with a mess. 

Thankfully, Ayers Basement Systems has a solution to this problem. The Turtl crawl space access well. The product is sized to protect most crawl space doors, the Turtl Crawl Space Entry System consists of a reinforced shell made from plastic and a hinged plastic top that seals down securely and can be locked to prevent entry. The system is a permanent solution and is durable enough to withstand harsh weather environments. There is no painting or maintenance required and is a great way to keep your crawl space clean, safe and secure and your home exterior looking good.

Problems with your foundation walls can be a pain, but if you don't get them taken care of quickly, they can become a nightmare. That's why Nancy called us as soon as she noticed a problem. Her wall was beginning to bow, which created cracks. These cracks then lead to water leakage. If problems like these don't get taken care of quickly, one thing continuously leads to another over and over again. That's what was beginning to happen here, but luckily Nancy took care of it right away.

We went out to take a look for ourselves, and we knew right away that our PowerBrace Foundation Wall Repair System was the solution. In terms of stabilizing foundation walls, it doesn't get any better than PowerBrace. 

This system uses steel beams to properly secure the joists and prevent any further damage from taking place. PowerBrace can be important to customers not only because it stabilizes the walls, but also because the beams are zinc coated which makes the system resistant to any corrosion, also creating a non-toxic surface. This is what sets the PowerBrace system above any other system, because other systems typically either use uncoated or painted beams, meaning that they are far more susceptible to corrosion.

Thanks to the PowerBrace system, Nancy's wall is now stabilized and will avoid any further foundation troubles. 

Christopher was on the lookout for a company that would sell him an Egress Window that would replace his small basement window. He found that Ayers sells Egress Windows and decided to make the call. Our customer care team spoke with Chris and an appointment was set.

These Egress Windows are the perfect fit for basements because they are larger which will open up the space making it feel less like a dark dungeon and more like a finished room. More natural light and fresh air will fill the room. They also provide a safe exit option for emergencies and are waterproof which will come in handy during heavy rains. Chris was very happy to complete his basement with this window!

Marlene’s Traverse City home had always been chilly during the winter, particularly in the bedrooms, which were the coldest areas of the house. An inspection revealed the problem: an open-vent crawl space without insulation at the rim joist, allowing frigid air to enter. To resolve the issue of cold floors, CleanSpace vent covers and spray foam insulation were installed, effectively sealing out the cold air. Now, Marlene can finally enjoy a warm and cozy home!
