This family called us because they had water occasionally coming in their crawl space which was causing mold to grow and they had a dirt floor allowing critters and outside air in. We all know mold is not something that should be taken lightly as it can cause health issues and can tremendously affect the resale value of your home. We don't put dirt floors in basements so why does having a dirt floor in your crawl space sound okay? We sent a system design specialist out to the home to see what could be done and offer the best solution to the problem.

The homeowner and system design specialist agreed that installing our CleanSpace system would be the best answer. CleanSpace ensures that the crawl space will be isolated from the earth so no critters, air or ground water can evaporate into the atmosphere of the space. It's also made of a very thick plastic so there is no worrying about it tearing or not holding up. The liner is also made with an antimicrobial additive that prevents the growth of mold. 

A mobile home had heavy water intrusion in its crawl space which was also causing frogs to enter the crawl space. So our team installed SilverGlo, a set of waterproof foam panels used on the walls of your crawl space in order to insulate it. Uninsulated crawl spaces cost you money each year by increasing your heating and cooling bills. In addition, SilverGlo blocks all moisture and is made of inorganic material which prevents mold, rot or mildew from forming. Overall, it will keep your crawl space dry and insulated which will save you lots of money over the years.

Our customer just had something that is never fun...flooding.  Failure of his sump pump allowed water to come in through the walls, ruining the recently furnished basement.  Traditional sump pumps with only single or even double pumps have lots of issues when failure occurs.  Ayers recommended our customer to the TripleSafe.  The TripleSafe uses one energy efficient pump for most of the easy lifting, as well as a heavier duty pump to help out during heavy raining.  Even in the event of a power outage, the third battery powered pump will allow for ease of mind as water is kept out of your home and your family stays safe!  The TripleSafe is our most recommended sump pump system as it has kept homes dry and safe even in the worst conditions.

Installing this system usually takes less than a day and it provides immediate stabilization.

The cracks on the foundation walls of this Bremen, IN home were the first signs of a compromised wall structure. By the time we showed up, the walls were bowing due to soil pressure.

We immediately installed these GeoLock wall anchors to help prevent further bowing.

Wall anchors not only provide immediately stability to the walls, we can tighten the cable over time to straighten the walls.

Those white squares you see are covers we install over the steel anchors so they're not an eyesore.

The process is quite simple and is done by drilling small holes into the concrete and then inserting the foam into the holes. Also, the PolyLevel system is waterproof and long-lasting.

Bryant R had ongoing issues with his bowing basement walls and realised that he could no longer ignore the evident damage to his walls. You could see the stair step crack on the inside and outside of his home. These cracks follow the mortar lines in a block wall as pressure on the wall increases. Stair step cracks are particularly dangerous because they cover a wide area of the wall. Bryant's wall was well on its way to wall collapse without reparing this crack. 

We used CarbonArmor® to stabilize Bryant's basement walls. CarbonArmor is a wall reinforcing system with straps made from a fiber-reinforced polymer that’s ten times stronger than steel. CarbonArmor® stablised this home's walls and will now protect those walls from future bowing.
