Ayers Stabilizes and Waterproofs 127-Year-Old Alden, MI Victorian Home

Jack and Patti’s 127 Victorian home had very little water coming in from the crawl space, but Jack wanted to make sure his home was still stable given its age. The couple called Ayers for an inspection, and our crew determined that their foundation would need lots of work. We installed SmartJacks, CleanSpace, and a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier.  

SmartJacks are steel supports that balance the foundation of the crawlspace, lifting it to its original position. They can be adjusted so the home will never shift out of place and are anchored into the ground with poured concrete. CleanSpace Wall System is a moisture barrier that uses a thick plastic liner along basement and crawl space walls to keep them dry and last decades longer. It also has antibacterial properties that prevent mold and bacteria growth.  Damp air takes more energy to heat and cool. Cutting down on the moisture in the crawl space, in turn, will cut down on how much it costs to heat or cool the home. Finally, the SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier automatically removes up to 100 pints of water a day from the air in the home’s basement. This system circulates the now dry air through the basement and automatically removes the leftover water so you don’t have to. 

Jack and Patti were absolutely thrilled with the service Ayers provided. The couple could not be happier with the work done and products installed!
