Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

This lake cottage in Portage, MI was converted in a year-round home for the homeowners. The home had a basement and two crawl spaces that weren’t that usable because of the piles of dirt in the spaces. The homeowner sought a solution to cleaning up the appearance of these areas, upgrading the current traps that covered the dirt in some areas.

We provided that solution with CleanSpace. This liner is installed to the walls with fasteners and covers the dirt floor. It’s made of cord reinforced polyester, making it extremely durable, so the space can be used for the storage. It also provides a moisture barrier, keeping moisture from the dirt from evaporating i to the space.

Thanks to CleanSpace, this crawl space in the photo is brighter and cleaner, and can be used for storage, too.

In 2014 Christine had us make her crawl space more energy efficient with some SilverGlo insulation and frothpak in the rim joists. Now a few years later, we're back to help with a crawl space encapsulation using our CleanSpace vapor barrier which helps to as much harmful water vapors out of the crawl space as possible. Also, we're laying TerraBlcok insulation on the ground to add greater energy efficiency. Finally, we added a SmartDrain to help remove any moisture from the space without harming the building materials and a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to keep the space as dry as possible so that Christine is breathing good clean air on the floor above and mold is not an issue.

Mike and Cathy had water and moisture constantly entering their crawl space, so they called our team. We installed CleanSpace, a plastic sheet material used as a vapor barrier to restrict all moisture, outside air, and pests from entering your crawl space. This system creates an energy-efficient crawl space, and it also gives your crawl space a clean finish. This material will be applied to your floors and walls to create a sleek look and an uninterrupted barrier.

A musty smell was coming from a homeowner’s crawl space, so she called our team. We insulated her rim joists to prevent air from entering the rest of her home. Small cracks and seams can exist around rim joists, but after insulating them all of those cracks are sealed off. Now flow is restricted keeping moisture and air out. Therefore, musty smells won't be drifting around this homeowner's house any longer.

Robert contacted our team because his driveway and sidewalk were settling. We installed PolyLevel, a waterproof and long-lasting system designed to fix concrete slabs that have sunk. It uses a polyurethane foam that expands and has a high density in order to raise the concrete. It is a simple process and is done by drilling small holes into the concrete and then inserting the foam into the holes.
