Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

This Okemos homeowner had a driveway with about half of the slabs are sinking. It causes some issues with driving and walking due to the unevenness. We decided to use PolyLevel to raise the slabs sunken concrete slabs back to the original position. PolyLevel is a light weight injectable foam that is waterproof so it won't wash away. It also cures in about 15 minutes so it won't be inconvenient to the homeowners.

The sidewalk to the homes front door has sunk about 2 inches in a couple different spots. They have used us to level concrete before and knew we could fix the uneven trip hazard. We used PolyLevel to raise the fallen concrete back to the original level. PolyLevel is a light weight but very strong foam that is injected under the concrete. It is waterproof and stable so it won't wash away or react with the soils. The best part is that is cures in such a short amount time that it will not disturb that homeowners.

Joe had been monitoring his wet basement for years, but when the water began to affect having his grandkids spend the night downstairs, he needed a solution. We installed our TripleSafe™ Sump Pump to help direct the unwanted basement water into our pump and discharged a safe distance away from the home. In addition, we installed our CleanSpace® Wall Vapor Barrier to make the walls appear clean and fresh, but also help hold back water vapor passing through and directing the water into the sump pump. With heavy rainfall, Joe would no longer have to worry if his basement would remain dry.

John and Suzanne found the foundation walls in their basement were beginning to bow in. They decided to call Ayers for a solution. A Specialist went out to inspect their home and determine a solution. The team at Ayers decided on Carbon Armor and GeoLock Wall Anchors. 

Carbon Armor is carbon straps that are stronger than both steel and concrete. Once the straps are fully epoxied to the wall, it will prevent any bowing in the wall. Carbon Armor is also attached to the top of the wall with a bracket system for extra reinforcement. In addition, GeoLock Wall Anchors were installed; these wall anchors consist of a plate buried in the ground outside of the damaged wall. A steel rod is drilled through a small hole in the wall and into the anchor plate in the ground. Then, a plate is installed on the interior side of the wall and fasted to the rod to create a pulling pressure on the wall. The pulling force brings the wall back into place and stabilizes it over time.

These products will be perfect for the couple as they will no longer need to worry about bowing walls!

Pam was experiencing an unlevel entrance to her home. The sunken concrete and stairway was not only unsightly, but created a tripping hazard for visiting guests. Once injecting our PolyLevel® foam into the sunken concrete slabs and stairway, the entrance was once again level and the porch stair was no longer slanted. In addition we installed NexusPro into the joints and cracks of the sidewalk to help seal the newly raised slabs and prevent water and debris from degrading it from below again. Pam now has a safe entrance for those entering through the front of her home.
