Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

The homeowners in Charlotte, MI had so much water coming into their home that it started pooling in certain areas of their basement. The pooling water was causing damage to their things and they needed a way to get it out of their home. 

Our professional team installed the WaterGuard long lasting interior perimeter drainage system. The system sits on the top of the footing in the basement in order to prevent clogging from mud or other debris. The system works by trapping floor and wall seepage before it has a chance to damage the basement. Once the water is trapped in the drain it is immediately taken to the sump pump. The sump pump then removes the water from the home! 

The before picture shows the WaterGuard system right after it was put in place and the after picture shows what the product looks like after it is all installed and covered with a clean layer of concrete. 

We know how much everyone hates having to go in their crawl space. It's dark, dusty, and even a little bit creepy and there's always a possibilty of those unwanted critters/insects. We think you should be able to enjoy or at least use every part of your home. That's why we will send a system design specialist in your crawl space or basement to take a look and see what we can to waterproof and make your space more liveable. 

In this home in Charlotte you can tell the crawl space was not an area these homeowners visted often. There's a dirt floor and insulation hanging, I mean let's be honest what would be the point of going down there. We were however, able to revive this space and make it usable to the owners. We have never understood the point of a dirt floor in a crawl space, you wouldn't use dirt for your basement floor so why is your crawl space any different. Also when that fiberglass insulation gets moisture in it, it will become heavy and fall. We can fix all of this with CleanSpace though. 

CleanSpace is a heavy plastic liner used to create the perfect vapor barrier in your crawl space. It is fitted to your crawl space to cover every post, the floor, the walls and anywhere we have to worry about water coming in. The best part for these homeowners now is that they can store stuff in their crawl space since that the floor isn't dirt anymore. It will keep moisture out and any critters.

One morning we received a call from two local homeowners in Charlotte, MI. They informed us that their stone foundation wall was beginning to crack and crumble. These homeowners were worried that their problems would progressively worsen and one day their foundation would totally collapse! These new friends of ours explored our website, read reviews and thought possibly we could provide solutions for their foundation problems. The two of them quickly found out that having their foundation entirely rebuilt was something that they just couldn’t handle financially. We came out to their home and prescribed Shotcrete to remedy their foundation issues at a rather affordable cost. Shotcrete is a noteworthy innovation in concrete technology where concrete is applied as a spray, through a high-pressure hose and application nozzle. In the hands of our skilled team members, shotcrete offers the versatility to construct, repair and reinforce damaged foundation walls and other structural elements. With Shotcrete, we were able to restructure our new friends crumbling wall and they can remain confident that it will be strong for countless years to come.

Charlene & Kevin from Charlotte, MI were having issues with the walls in their basement bowing outward. With continuing observation, they could tell the walls were continuing to move. The crack in one of their walls grew to a horizontal distance of more than twelve feet. This couple became observably frightened about their walls future and called us in search of professional help. We went to their home and devised a complete solution consisting of twelve PowerBraces. The PowerBrace system encompasses adjustable steel I-beams that secure to the joists above the foundation wall, offering revolutionary support. The PowerBrace improves the condition of bowing and cracked walls by reversing the forces of nature and allowing them to move back to their original position. With this cutting-edge solution in place, Charlene & Kevin can remain calm knowing their walls will eventually return to their proper position.
