Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Austin in West Bloomfield, MI, struggled with severe basement water intrusion for two years, leading to damage and the loss of valuable collectibles. To protect his home, we installed a WaterGuard® drainage system, CleanSpace® wall system, and a TripleSafe™ sump pump. Now, his basement stays dry, giving him peace of mind and protecting his belongings from future water damage.

Homeowner Julie became concerned about the entry to her crawl space due to significant water intrusion. This issue resulted in a musty, wet environment and signs of water damage. Ayers provided Julie with an affordable solution by encapsulating the area using our CleanSpace product, which creates a vapor barrier to prevent water from running along the walls. Additionally, we installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump to remove excess water from the home. To further protect the space, we applied spray foam insulation to eliminate any gaps.

The problem with block basement walls is that they can easily sprout leaks. The block allows vapor and actual water to seep through, which can stain and water damage walls. That's exactly what happened to this restaurant in Sault Ste. Marie (see before picture). When the owner decided to waterproof the floor, he realized it was as good a time as any to fix up the walls as well.

Our BrightWall panels were the perfect solution. The paneling was attached directly on top of the previously stained walls, and it's clear that the white plastic is a much better look for the basement. On top of that, the basement walls are now completely waterproof. Water vapor and moisture may pass through the porous block walls, but they won't make it through the BrightWall paneling. Any water that does seep through the block walls will be drained into the restaurant's new perimeter drainage system and discharged outside. A good restaurant atmosphere usually refers to the actual dining area, but that's no reason why the rest of the place shouldn't look its best too. Give us a call if you'd like to see what BrightWall could do for your basement as well.  

One of the most satisfying clean ups we work on is with CleanSpace.  See, crawl spaces are usually gross; there's a reason for that...who would care?  Most people never go in their crawl spaces so generally it looks really bad and you can even find some critters running around as well!  CleanSpace allows for some peace of mind in terms of looks.  But it really doesn't stop there, energy savings can be very substantial due to humidity entering the house through the ground.  So not only does your CrawlSpace turn into a nice and dry environment that helps you to save money, all of those creepy crawlers can't live in there anymore!  

We sent our team at Ayers to a home in National City, Michigan, to help a customer encapsulate his dirt crawl space. Outside air and moisture will accumulate without proper protection, leading to detrimental issues in the long run. Our suggestion to Jerry was to install CleanSpace. We placed this antimicrobial waterproof liner along the crawl space floor and walls. The liner provides a vapor barrier between the damp soil and the home. Excess moisture leads to nasty mold and bacteria growth. Jerry's crawl space will remain protected for years to come!
