Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Harvey was getting a small amount of water and moisture in his basement through some cracks in the foundation. He wanted all of the problems fixed and called us to see about his options. We used the SaniDry XP dehumidifier to continuously blow dry air throughout the basement to eliminate the moisture and humidity as well as filtering the air. For the cracks, we used CarbonArmor which installs quickly and does not impact future basement wall finishing. It is made up of flexible carbon fabric straps that are attached to the wall with a high strength resin. Lastly, we installed the Basement to Beautiful Insulated Wall Panels. These prepare your wall for finished wall paneling and prevent cold spots in your basement.

Jim's home had stone basement walls, and he worried that the voids between the stones would allow moisture entry. He needed the problem resolved quickly, so he called Ayers for assistance. Our crew of experts stopped by his home to examine the space and recommend a solution. The team suggested Shotcrete, a solution that applies a concrete or mortar wet spray through a high-pressure hose to fill a form or repair damaged surfaces. Jim is happy with the final product!

This Spring Lake, MI, homeowner faced a double threat in their crawl space: moisture attracting critters that found their way into the home. Looking for a lasting solution, they turned to Ayers for help. Our team encapsulated the space with a durable, anti-microbial CleanSpace liner to seal out moisture and installed drainage matting and a SmartDrain system to handle any potential water intrusion. Their crawl space is now clean, dry, and secure—free from critters and ready to serve as additional storage space if needed.

This summer cottage was dealing with a serious sinking problem. Not long ago, the floor had begun settling. When this happened, the owners called a contractor and had the floor jacked up and leveled out. But after noticing a few strange occurrences – doors sticking closed, a slight slope to the kitchen floor – the owners became convinced that the problem had returned and was worse than ever. When the system design specialist arrived, he confirmed their suspicions and also noted that the structural joists were decaying.

To repair the floor and keep it leveled for good, the crew decided to replace the jacks and reinforce the joists. Instead of the wood beams, the crew installed galvanized steel beams and attached them to the failing joists. The steel will provide extra support for the floor and won’t erode from the moisture so often found in crawl spaces. Next, they replaced the old jacks with our SmartJack system and boosted up the new steel support beams and the floor along with them. SmartJack’s ability to hold over 60,000 pounds make us confident that this will be a permanent solution for this cottage.

Keith never realized that his crawl space could affect his whole home, until one day there was a weird smell in the air. It was because of standing water in his crawl space, this could to lead to mold and many other issues.. He immediately called us to help solve his problem.

Our team did a full CleanSpace installation, including; a Triple safe Sump Pump, Ice Guard, and Cleanspace Drainage Matting. All these tools work together to keep Keith's crawl space dry.
