Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

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.

James just bought his home in Okemos, MI and was looking forward to making some renovations. He was looking to have his small basement windows replaced with larger ones. After calling Ayers, our crew decided Egress Windows would be a great addition for his basement.

Egress Windows make excellent basement windows as they are larger, which opens up the space. More natural light and air will flow into your basement. This makes the basement more inviting, especially if you want to have a finished basement where guests will be. These windows also provide a safe exit option in the event an emergency occurs.

James is ecstatic with the results of his new Egress Windows as he now will be able to achieve the finished basement look he desires!

Deena realized her basement lacked an escape route and wanted one installed. She knew she couldn't do this herself, so after researching her options, she called Ayers for help. Our experts visited her home and recommended installing an egress window to provide easy escapes during emergencies. Egress windows are built to withstand pressure caused by heavy soil and water and prevent surface falls with a polycarbonate safety cover. Deena feels much safer in her basement!
