Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Our friend Penny from Hale, MI began having issues with the walls in her basement bowing outward. With continued observation she could tell a couple of the walls were forming hairline cracks. Penny became very uneasy about her basement walls future and called us in search of professional help. We came to her rescue and devised a tactical solution consisting of twelve PowerBraces. The PowerBrace system encompasses adjustable steel I-beams that secure to the joists above the foundation wall, offering revolutionary support. The PowerBrace improves the condition of bowing and cracked walls by reversing the forces of nature and allowing them to move back to their original position. With this ideal solution in place, Penny can remain calm knowing her walls will eventually return to their proper position.

At Ayers no job is too big and in this case, no job is too small either. When Gail gave us a call concerning the smell rising from her 3-feet tall crawl space, our team of specialists were able to tackle the task in a matter of hours. 

We were able to combat the problem by installing CleanSpace liners in combination with the SaniDry Humidifier. The CleanSpace liner is a thick, durable white liner that resembles that of a pool liner. It traps any moisture in the air from penetrating the ground ultimately keeping it dry and mold-free. Pests and other bacteria are also blocked from entering through the liner. 

We also installed the SaniDry Humidifier, a high powered system that keeps the crawl space dry by sucking any remaining moisture out of the air. 

A waterfront cottage in Hale, MI, was dealing with a cracked cinder block foundation, and the dirt floor was absorbing moisture, threatening the home's integrity. Concerned about potential mold and water damage, the homeowner contacted Ayers for effective crawl space moisture control. Ayers installed a SmartSump sump pump and a feed line to efficiently channel incoming water away from the crawl space, providing a reliable solution to water intrusion. With this new system, the family can winterize their cabin for the season without worrying about seasonal flooding damaging their crawl space.

Mark's dirt crawl space lacked encapsulation. Proper encapsulation protects this area from outside pests and moisture. He decided to call Ayers for professional help tackling this problem area. Our crew inspected the space first to determine the appropriate recommendations. Our suggestion was to install CleanSpace. This system utilizes a plastic liner that holds a vapor barrier. This barrier prevents the buildup of excess moisture. A surplus in moisture leads to mold or bacteria growth. We install this liner along the crawl space floor and walls. The seal is airtight, preventing outside pests from setting up camp there!

Dean worried about the dirt floor of his crawl space and the moisture seeping through the dirt. He wasn't sure what to do, so he gave Ayers a call. We sent a team of specialists to assess the issue and make a recommendation. They suggested CleanSpace, an antimicrobial vapor barrier designed to deter water and mold growth. CleanSpace is also applied in one piece, to guarantee full encapsulation. Dean was happy he called Ayers and got the job done!
