Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Jack grew concerned with his apartment complex as the soil near the foundation had eroded. He contacted us at Ayers Basement System, and an inspection was soon conducted. Our team had determined the area would need to be backfilled with dirt to stabilize the site, and then Helical Piers would be required. Jack opted to go with the installation, and our crew got to work. Dirt was first brought into the area and leveled to provide a secure place for the Helical Piers. Helical Piers are a form of support that drill into the ground as the bottom portion of the pier has blades for support. Our crew installed 34 different Helical Piers, ensuring the soil will stop eroding for Jack!

Scott noticed his old sump pump wasn't efficiently removing water from his basement, and some had begun leaking onto the floor. He wasn't sure how to fix the problem, so he researched his options and called Ayers to learn about our waterproofing solutions. We sent a team of professionals to examine the space and recommend a solution. They suggested installing the TripleSafe sump pump designed to prevent accidents from pump failure by including three pumps. The first is the primary, followed by a backup, and finally, a battery-powered backup in case of power outages. Scott is happy with his dry basement!

Kyle was concerned the cracks in his basement walls would lead to more severe damage. He wasn't sure how to fix it himself, so he called Ayers. Our specialists visited his home and recommended the Supportworks GeoLock wall anchor system for his problem. Wall anchors are heavy-duty, galvanized earth anchors built to be placed in solid soil. A steel rod connects the ground anchor to the wall anchor securing the wall. Kyle is excited to have a stable basement wall!

James tried adding protection to his crawl space with a store-bought tarp. Our professionals at Ayers know this is only a temporary band-aid to the problem. James knew a permanent solution was required to tackle his crawl space issues, so he called Ayers. Our crew inspected the area and let James know CleanSpace would provide the necessary protection. CleanSpace utilizes a vapor barrier that prevents the growth of nasty mold or bacteria. This solution is a thick plastic liner that covers the crawl space floor and walls. The liner will repel moisture development and other outside pests that prosper in these areas. James feels more at ease with his crawl space sealed permanently!

After intermittent water issues in the crawl space - regularly occurring but usually negligible amounts of water - our customer looked into his crawl space to find four inches of standing water.

We drained the water (the before picture is the immediate aftermath, where everything is still nice and soggy) and installed a Smart Sump to help with any future water accumulation, before encapsulating the crawl space with the CleanSpace vapor barrier system and drainage matting.
