Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

The basement wall had a small, non-functional glass block window, which didn’t meet the safety standards required for an egress window. This meant the basement didn’t have proper ventilation, light, or an emergency exit. The foundation was also a concern, with potential issues related to water leakage and radon exposure. A larger egress window was installed, greatly improving safety by providing a proper emergency exit and allowing more natural light and ventilation. The foundation was also addressed, with waterproofing measures taken to prevent leaks, and radon mitigation steps were implemented to ensure a safer indoor environment. The basement is now structurally sound, properly ventilated, and up to code.

With the basement walls primarily made of stone, moisture and high humidity became a serious problem when water began to find its way through. The CleanSpace vapor barrier was installed to keep the moisture out of the air and reduce mold growth and musty smells by allowing water to drain while protecting the room from ambient moisture.

If you have a crack in your basement wall, call a basement company. Foundation cracks are rarely just cracks and often indicate a larger problem. In this case, a contractor tried to simply fill a wall crack with epoxy, but the leak causing the crack didn't really care and continued to leak and, therefore, crack.

We installed the FlexiSpan crack repair system, which seals the crack and remains flexible enough to accommodate any shifting in the surrounding soil.

The customer originally called about a window replacement, but when we asked him if there were any water issues resulting from the existing window, he said that the crawl space did seem damp. 

In addition to replacing the window in the Michigan basement, we did an encapsulation with CleanSpace to prevent ambient moisture from entering through the crawl space and insulted the joists in the ceiling.

This customer from Haslett, MI had a disaster of a crawl space after many years of wear and tear and needed a renovation. We had just the thing.

We installed our patented CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system. This system will make sure to keep this customer's crawl space free of dirt, cold air and water for years to come. As an added bonus, CleanSpace is made with anti-microbial properties that prevent the growth of mold.
