Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

This wall crack had been plaguing this basement for some time now. When it rained, water flowed through the crack and onto the basement floor. The homeowner wondered if there was anything we could do. There was. We had a simple, attractive, and economical solution. It's called FlexiSpan. We put a sealant on the crack. This is just a primary solution but its not permanent so we go a few steps further to make sure the crack never bothers the homeowner again. Next we removed some of the concrete at the base of the crack and dug out a drywell, about 3-5 gallons in size and filled that with stone. The concrete was replaced with the exception of a small gap along the wall so water could run into the drywell that we created beneath the concrete. In cases like this with a nearby sump pump, we may also create hole in the side of the sump well to allow the water to flow into the well and be removed from the home. Finally a thin foam layer and a strip of our durable CleanSpace material is put over the crack to conceal it. The foam allows for an easy flow of water down the wall and into the well. The problem is out of sight and out of mind and it will never puddle on the floor again.

A bowing wall in Dylan’s basement was beginning to form cracks as well. To fix this problem our team installed the PowerBrace foundation repair system on his wall. This system will immediately stop the wall from bowing and cracking more. Over time, the system can be tightened to not only secure the walls in place, but to also straighten them.

This customer contacted us because they wanted to lift the northwest corner of their garage slab that has sunk over time. We were able to go through and drill small holes (smaller than a penny) and insert our PolyLevel to raise the slab back to its original height. The PolyLevel can be driven on 15 minutes after installation and won't ever wash out after being installed. The PolyLevel is also able to lift almost 4,000 pounds per square foot of material, which is insanely strong. This is a great option to restore property value and no one will have to trip on the uneven ground. 

This 100 year old home in Mishawaka has sagging floors. Phillip bought the home to renovate it and has finished redoing the exterior. His next project is the basement but he knows the floors need to have a better solution than the temporary one he had put up. We installed SmartJacks to stabilize the main level floors and raise them back to the original level. They are steel posts that attach to the floor joists and have a stable base at the floor- they are cemented to the ground. The posts are adjustable anytime for the home in case it needs it, providing a permanent solution to the sagging floor!

Jasper was hoping to rid his home of this musty smell that seemed to be coming from his crawl space. After doing some digging he found Ayers helps with crawl space solutions so he gave us a call. We decided to send a crew out to his home to investigate his crawl space and detect the root of the odor. Our System Design Specialists found it would be best to install CleanSpace and SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier as these solutions would tackle the odor.

First with CleanSpace, this consists of a thick, durable plastic liner that utilizes a vapor barrier that will fight to prevent excess water or moisture development. This is also made of inorganic material which means it will prevent mold or bacteria growth. This excess moisture and water in this space was the culprit of the musty odor coming from the crawl space. This liner is placed along the crawl space floor and walls, separating your home from the soil. Additionally we installed our SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier which will ensure the air is free of this gross, damp odors by drying and filtering the air. It is the world's most efficient and high-performing dehumidifier, all while costing him less to run than regular dehumidifiers.

With these systems in place Jasper's nose is thankful to breathe clean, fresh air again!
