Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

This customer contacted us because his crawlspace was giving off a strong mildew smell. This issue occurred because of the high water table in the area that was letting water and moisture into the space, causing it to become humid and damp.

We first installed dimpled drainage matting on the floor of the crawlspace that helped move intruding water easily across the floor to the sump pump. Next, we installed the plastic CleanSpace liner that sealed off the crawlspace from outside elements such as dirt, water, moisture and cold/hot air. This liner was extremely durable and prevented mold growth as well.

Cindy and Hector purchased their Brooklyn, Michigan home about a year ago and the basement has already flooded twice. Water would come in where the floor met the wall and saturated the ground. They want to be able to use the basement for additional storage, but didn’t want their belongings to be destroyed by water. The couple called Ayers and one of our competitors for inspections. Based on our longstanding reputation of professionalism and quality service, Cindy and Hector decided to go with Ayers. Our crew would install WaterGuard in their basement to permanently solve the problem. 

WaterGuard is a sub-floor waterproofing system that collects water that leaks through the walls and keeps dirt away from the foundation. It is installed along the perimeter of the basement and on top of the footing of the foundation. Concrete is poured on top and regular flooring can be placed on top. These before and after photos show what WaterGuard looks like in the floor, and what it looks like after the finishing concrete has been poured. 

Cindy and Hector were so glad to be able to finally complete moving into their new home. The couple no longer has to worry about sopping up water and can just enjoy their home together. 

Rodney's home was in the process of being built and as part of that process, he was hoping to get a waterproofing system to keep his home dry. He trusted Ayers to do the job right, so he gave us a call. We set up a time for a free inspection and from there, our crew determined our WaterGuard System combined with our TrenchDrain would work great. The WaterGuard System is a subfloor drainage system that will collect water seeping in and direct the leaks to the sump pump. This is placed along the perimeter of the basement and on top of the footing of the foundation to prevent any clogging issues. Then we installed our TrenchDrain which is perfect for doorway entrances where water leaks arise. This product consists of a grated opening on top of a basement drainage pipe installed in the subfloor. Any water that passes over the system will fall through the grated openings and be directed to the sump pump. Rodney was satisfied with these waterproofing systems that keep his new home well-protected!

Susan had a musty smell coming through the floors and knew something wasn't right. She decided to call Ayers, so we had a crew head over to the home for a free inspection of the problem area. From the inspection, our experts determined the smell was coming from the crawl space because she lacked proper encapsulation. CleanSpace will take care of this issue since this is a thick, waterproof plastic liner that has a vapor barrier. The barrier prevents the buildup of moisture that causes the musty smell of bacteria or mold. Regular tarps will not hold up or prevent mold without this vapor barrier CleanSpace utilizes. Our EverLast Door was also installed to keep outside air or critters out of the crawl space with its water seal. Now Susan can remain worry-free of these nasty smells!

We got a call about a home in Brooklyn, MI lacking proper encapsulation in the crawl space which was causing the home to be cold and drafty. We had a team of our experts head over to the home to give the homeowner Rose a proper solution. After inspecting her crawl space, we determined that our CleanSpace and SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier would solve her issues. CleanSpace is a plastic, waterproof liner that utilizes a vapor barrier that defends against mold or bacteria growth. It is placed on the crawl space floor to cover the whole area and protect it from the dirt ground's moisture. SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier will clean and dry the air much more efficiently than your typical dehumidifier. Now Rose can be confident with the permanent protection these crawl space solutions provide!
