Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

First things first, you will not be able to fix a bowing wall without the help of professionals. Your basement is the foundation of your home and if that wall falls your entire home could fall with it, so it's important to take care of a bowing or leaning wall as soon as possible. 

For this home in Charlotte, MI we were able to use our Wall Anchor's to fix this wall that was leaning from the pressure of the soil outside of it. These are the best option to bring a wall back to its original position over time. The installation is also fairly quick but you must have room outside of your house so if you have neighbors very close we can discuss other options with you. 

Ron's walkway to the front porch was sinking and causing a tripping hazard with the unlevel concrete slabs. We used PolyLevel to even the slabs and remove the trip hazard. PolyLevel is a light weight foam injectable that is very strong. It is waterproof so it wont wash away and it is stable so it wont react with the soil. PolyLevel foam has a quick curing time so it wont inconvenience you, the concrete can be full load bearing in just 15 minutes.

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.
