Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Beth noticed the walkway to her home had significantly dropped down in the ground. She contacted us at Ayers Basement Systems to have her walkway leveled! After an inspection, the crew at Ayers determined that PolyLevel would level the surface without the mess! PolyLevel utilizes a special expandable foam that is inserted below the cement allowing the team to level and stabilize the cement. Beth was thrilled with the outcome of her walkway!

This is a unique before and after, in that the before picture was taken inside of the home and the during/after shot is from outside in the excavated soil.

We were called out to this home after the owner noticed that water was leaking in. He had built the home himself and knew right away what the problem was. The hole in the wall where the sewer pipe entered the basement had turned into a leak for ground water. Uninterested in building an entirely new wall, he decided to give Ayers a call for help.

After discussing possible fixes with the homeowner, the team came up with an idea for a solution that was part interior and exterior. The inside cracks would be sealed over with FlexiSpan, a sealant designed to flex with wall movement without washing away. Since the water was flowing from outside, it was important that a barrier be put over the exterior cracks. Sentry Seal is a crack repair product installed once soil has been excavated away from the foundation. The waterproof membrane was put in place over the crack on the exterior side and will stand up to ground water, soil, and whatever else the elements throw its way. This basement will now stay as dry as it would with a brand new wall but without the lengthy and costly installation.

A family in Cassoplis, MI began to notice their energy bills going up and thought it was because of their unkept crawl sapce. After receiving their call, we arrived at the house and found the problems that were causing the family issues. First, there were small gaps between tiny seams and cracks in the wall that air flow was passing through. Spray foam insulation was used to seal up those hard to reach places that traditional fiberglass cover could not reach.  Next, we protected the entire crawl space with CleanSpace. CleanSpace is our vapor liner used to keep moisture and mold out of a crawl space area and can be seen in the after picture below as the white, durable liner. The final touch on this project was the instullation of SilverGlo. These are insulation wall panels that are used to keep the crawl space dry, the house warm, and the energy bills low. 

Heavy water intrusion caused Joyce's crawl space to flood. She called our team and we installed CleanSpace, a plastic sheet material used as a vapor barrier. CleanSpace restricts all moisture, outside air, and pests from entering your crawl space. Not only does this system create an energy-efficient crawl space, but 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. 

David's floor was freezing since the weather changed, and he couldn't stand dealing with cold feet. He needed the issue resolved, so he researched his options and called Ayers for help. Our professionals visited his home to evaluate and realized the vents in his crawl space allowed cold air underneath his house. They installed the CleanSpace vapor barrier, a highly durable and antimicrobial-lined material. CleanSpace deters moisture and cold air entry and consequently prevents cold feet. David loves his warm floor!
