Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Steve owns a duplex he rents to his daughter and worries about the condition of the building. He already spent money on restoring the garage with a different company, but saw that it drifted away from the main home again. Steve called Ayers and had our Foreman Evan inspect the home on his behalf due to him being out of state. After listening to Steve's concerns, he drafted a treatment plan that would reintroduce stability to the home's foundational soil and prevent further drifting.

Evan and his team installed a Helical Pier system to stabilize the home. The piers are installed by excavating the outer perimeter of the home and driving screw-shaped steel beams into the ground at an angle, past the weak soil, and into the frim ground. The tops of the beams are fitted with loadbearing concrete blocks that the entire home rests on.

Alice was having water issues within her basement and didn't understand where it was coming from. She decided to contact Ayers and set up a home inspection. The Specialist that conducted the review determined the cement slab by the house was settling, causing various issues. The team suggested using PolyLevel to raise and level the cement.

PolyLevel is a process where foam is injected below the cement through small holes in the concrete. The foam is waterproof and expands under high temperatures, allowing the installation specialist to level and stabilize the concrete! Alice was thrilled with how much better the concrete looked and even happier with the purpose it would serve!

Margaret loves hosting family for the holidays, but the stale smell wafting through her house was not helping. She knew she needed to get the issue fixed, so she researched and called Ayers to learn about our waterproofing solutions. Our professionals stopped by her house to inspect the situation and recommend a solution. They found a damp crawl space beneath her home and suggested installing CleanSpace, an antimicrobial vapor barrier. CleanSpace is applied entirely to the crawl space floors and walls to eliminate moisture. Margaret loves her fresh-smelling home!

This home in Lansing, MI had water issues in the basement. As our name suggests, here at Ayers we have solutions for those issues. We visited this home and decided it was a perfect candidate for the WaterGuard system. This subfloor drainage system consists of specially designed piping that is laid on top of the footing of the foundation. The piping is covered with concrete, except for a small opening where the floors meet the wall. This space allows wall leaks to drain into the whole, so the pipes can carry the water to the sump pump. In addition to a large inlet hole to collect water from WaterGuard, SuperSump has a sturdy liner with holes that also accept water from the ground. This sump pump pumps the water out of the basement and directs it away from the home through a discharge line.

Kasey and Iris recently had a child and noticed that their basement walls were cracks, allowing water to enter. During heavy rain, however, they found that some areas showed heavy water intrusion. To keep the home dry, clean, and maintain the property value, they wanted a waterproofing system that will last. We installed the WaterGuard French drain, the TripleSafe sump pump, SaniDry XP dehumidifier, and the IceGuard for a waterproofing system to fit their needs!
