Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Cheryl from Battle Creek, MI was having issues with the walls in her basement bowing outward. With extended observation, she could tell the walls were continuing to move. The crack that formed in one of her walls grew to a horizontal distance of more than twelve feet! Cheryl became noticeably frightened about her wall and called us in search of professional help. We went to her home and devised a complete solution consisting of 15 Carbon Armor straps. The Carbon Armor wall reinforcement system is a state-of-the-art solution for bowing and cracking foundation walls. These straps are made from a fiber reinforced polymer that's ten times stronger than steel and is specifically designed for this purpose. Using high strength epoxy resin, the straps are attached the wall and secured with heavy duty steel brackets. Carbon Armor straps improve the condition of bowing and cracked walls by reversing the forces of nature and allowing them to move back to their original position. The best part is that this system requires no exterior excavation, installs quickly, and won't impact future basement finishing. With this cutting-edge solution in place, Cheryl can remain calm knowing her walls will eventually return to their proper position.

Robert had heavy water intrusion through his basement window. He called our team for help and to prevent any further water from entering his basement. So we installed an EverLast basement window. Due to the materials they are made from, Everlast windows never rot. In addition, they are made from insulated glass so you don't need to worry about heat loss. 

A customer wanted to turn his basement into a living space and so he called us to install Egress Windows and Wells. Egress Window Wells are required because they are big enough to provide a safe exit in case of emergency. In addition, these windows provide lots of natural light. Lastly, most windows offer minimal protection against outside air entering the home due to poor insulation around the window. Egress windows will help ventilate your indoor areas and prevent unwanted allergens from entering your house.

This homeowner had some concrete on the sidewalk leading to their front door that was not level. He was worried about it being a tripping hazard for people walking to the door. We had an easy, fast solution for them! We used PolyLevel to lift up the fallen concrete and take away the risk of someone tripping. PolyLevel is an injectable foam that goes under the concrete to help lift it back up the original position. It is waterproof so it won't get washed out and it wont drain harmful chemicals into the soil. The best part is that PolyLevel cures in about 15 minutes so it won't disrupt the homeowner or the home!

This homeowner had a leak in their basement and the floor was wet. There was no sump pump and the problem area was under a window in an unfinished part of the basement. We had the perfect solution for the home to keep it dry and the water out. We started with installing the WaterGuard system which is a French drain system that is under the floor but above the foundation to keep it from clogging. The system collects the water that leaks in from the walls and drains it to the sump pump to be expelled out of the home. We then installed a powerful sump pump which can pump 2,220 gallons of water per hour to keep the area dry and the homeowner happy!
