Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Alexander worried the water draining into his crawl space would cause damage to the structure of his home, so he gave Ayers a call. Our experts inspected the issue and recommended WaterGuard as the best solution. WaterGuard is a drainage pipe system engineered to reduce clogs and placed on top of rather than alongside the footing, unlike other drainage pipes. Alexander is overjoyed to have a dry crawl space!

Linda's crawl space was in need of a good fixer-upper job since it was pure dirt, rubble and cobwebs! She decided to call Ayers for our crawl space repair solutions so we sent a crew for a free inspection. From this it was determined that our CleanSpace solution would clean it right up. First we install our Drainage Matting under the CleanSpace liner. This is a dimpled mat that gives any water flooding into the crawl space a channel to be directed to the sump pump or drainage system. Then we add our CleanSpace liner which is made of a thick, waterproof plastic material that is inorganic. It has a vapor barrier property that rids the crawl space of that excess moisture that leads to mold or bacteria. Linda's crawl space has never looked cleaner!

Deteriorating vinyl, sticky doors and windows, and creaky floors were all problems within Donna's home. After doing some research, she decided to contact us at Ayers Basement Systems regarding her floor joist. An inspection of her home determined that the floor joists were weak and needed to be reinforced. SmartJacks were suggested and later implemented to provide a lasting solution. SmartJacks utilize a load-bearing base, allowing the floor to be leveled and stabilized!

Sagging floors sometimes leave you wondering how much longer they can support the weight that is placed on them in your home. Floors above your crawl space can sag for many reasons: the existing columns are spaced too far apart, the floor joists have weakened from moisture/wood rot, or existing coumns have settled due to weak soil. No need to worry though, there is a solution to your sagging floors that will give you peace of mind. 

This apartment complex noticed not only sagging floors, but the doors were sticking and walls were beginning to crack, all signs of foundation problems. Our experts looked into this and figured out the best solution to this problem would be to install our crawl space SmartJacks. 

SmartJacks are made of steel so they won't rust from moisture. They are also very strong and can support loads of more than 60,000 pounds. You're probably wondering how they work. Before each jack is placed a 2 inch cube of soil is excavated and the hole is filled with concrete or a type of engineered fill. Then the steel column is cut to your crawl space height and the jack is assembled and tightened into place. The immediately stabilized the floor joists and lifts the floors and walls back to their original position. 

Deborah discovered that her Michigan basement was leaking. During rain, the same area in the basement would get wet and puddle up. She decided to call Ayers to determine the problem and explore solutions.  

A System Design Specialist was sent out for an assessment of the home and to look for solutions. After thoroughly assessing the house, the team at Ayers suggested CleanSpace System and the SmartSump. The CleanSpace system is a water-proof vapor barrier that prevents moisture or vapor from entering the basement. Any water from the walls will be funneled behind the CleanSpace and directed toward a pump. Additionally, the SmartSump is a sump pump ideal for crawlspace environments. This sump pump houses a primary pump that pumps any water in the crawlspace out and away from the house. 

These two products will eliminate the risk of water damage and ultimately take care of Deborah's problem. Ayers was more than happy to provide a permeant solution for the home!
