Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Leslie’s third-generation home on Diamond Lake was beautiful, but cold floors and high heating bills made winters unbearable. Freezing air was seeping through her uninsulated crawl space, making it harder to keep the home warm. Ayers installed CleanSpace® vapor barrier and rim joist insulation to seal out the cold and lock in warmth. Now, Leslie and her family can enjoy cozy floors, lower energy bills, and a more comfortable home all winter long.

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!

The homeowner's crawlspace was a mix of dirt and concrete floors, contributing to his home's high humidity levels and unpleasant odors. These issues stemmed from improper encapsulation, leading to moisture buildup and poor air quality. To address the humidity and odor problem, Ayers encapsulated the crawlspaces by installing a vapor barrier system on the walls and floors. The joists were insulated to protect against moisture, and drainage matting was placed to help manage water under the vapor barrier. A dehumidifier system (Sanidry) was connected to the existing sump pump to control the humidity. This approach effectively reduced the moisture and improved air quality in Larry’s basement, solving the issues he was previously facing

Fred's partially finished basement was dealing with water intrusion. He quickly grew sick of mopping the water on his own. He called Ayers for our waterproofing solutions. Our system design specialist inspected this area and determined our WaterGuard system would efficiently keep the water off the floor. This interior drainage system collects the leaks and directs the water to his sump pump. This solution will prevent water from pooling onto the ground. This specially designed piping rests in the subfloor of the basement along the perimeter. The final step was concealing the drain with concrete. Now Fred has a seamless, low-maintenance system keeping his basement dry!

Peter was losing a great deal of heat through his Dyrden, Michigan, crawl space. He wanted a company that could encapsulate the crawl space. After a lot of research, Peter decided to go with Ayers Basement Systems because of our stellar reputation and five-star reviews. After removing all the debris, our team will work to install CleanSpace Wall System.

CleanSpace Wall System is a moisture barrier that uses a thick plastic liner along crawl space walls to keep them dry and last decades longer. It also has antibacterial properties that prevent mold and bacteria growth. Damp air takes more energy to heat and cool. Cutting down on the moisture in the crawl space, in turn, will cut down on how much it costs to heat or cool the home. 

Peter could not have been happier with the installation. He is no longer losing heat because of the crawl space and has been saving a lot of money on his heating bills.
