Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

After years of wanting to fix her driveway and walkway, this Portage, MI customer finally made the right decision and gave Ayers Basement Systems a call. The sinking concrete was sloping and creating large gaps in the walkways. The combination made the walk up to this home a dangerous trip.

When concrete begins to settle like this, the best solution is an injection of PolyLevel. The waterproof foam is injected below the slab to stabilize the ground where soil has failed. The foam then expands into the voids that the sinking concrete created and raises the slab. Our crews are experts when it comes to Polylevel, so they know exactly how much to inject to level off the slabs. Thanks to those experts, walking in and out of this house is as it should be: worry-free. 

Note: Any remaining gaps in the after photo were sealed with caulk later in production.

This Portage, MI customer became interested in encapsulating and insulating his crawl space after noticing a musty smell traveling through his home. Smelly crawl spaces are usually a sign of moisture and humidity mixing together and giving rise to gross air. As bad as that smell is, it’s not even the worse part. These adverse conditions can mean another unwelcome guest in your crawl space, mold. And unlike the uncomfortableness that comes from musty smells, mold can mean real structural damage to your home. To make sure that didn’t happen to this home, the crew traveled to Portage and got to work on the encapsulation.

The white liner in the after photo is a moisture barrier called CleanSpace. Designed to be impenetrable by vapor or humidity, it’s the perfect product to keep out that smell. Any outside air can have a negative effect on crawl spaces, so it’s best to keep that air where it belongs – outside. The vapor barrier was paired with bright SilverGlo wall insulation and air tight vent covers - both not pictured -  which are designed to keep only quality air inside. With a fully enclosed crawl space, smells, energy efficiency, and humidity won’t be a problem anymore.

Nobody likes it when their sidewalk is all jagged and out of place. It creates a tripping hazard which could effect anyone approaching your front door. However, with PolyLevel we can raise your sidewalk slabs so that they can be all even and flat, and with NexusPro Crack Repair we can fix any cracks caused by the concrete sinking.

The homeowners in Portage, MI had water seeping into their basment through their floor. The water was starting to puddle and damage their basement floors. The homeowners had no exisiting sump pump so they were not sure what to do about the puddling water. 

Our professional team installed the TripleSafe sump pump. The TripleSafe sump pump has three pumps in one giving you triple protection. The first pump will remove the water from you home. The second pump has a seperate discharge line and is more powerful. The second pump is there for you in the rare occasions that the first pump fails. The third pump is equipped with batteries, so it is there for you if the power goes out. 

Thanks to the TripleSafe sump pump the homeowners do not have to worry about water puddling and damaging their floors! 

A customer from Portage came to us with a driveway that was no longer level. They needed help so they called us. We drove over to their house and installed our PolyLevel technology. PolyLevel is an advanced polymer injection foam that we blast into the water though little holes in order to make it level and stronger than ever before. PolyLevel worked to raise and level out the concrete slabs while dealing with the weak soils below that were no longer able to hold the weight of the home above. We drilled multiple small holes into the concrete slabs in order to inject them with a polymer material that expanded to lift and level out the concrete. Once injected, the system only needed about 15 minutes to fully cure and the slabs were then stabilized and lifted to their proper level, and stronger than ever before. Now, this homeowner will not have to worry about this ever again.
