Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

 A dirty, musty Elkhart basement received an unwanted host of spiders in the crawl space. A 1970s home's unsealed crawl space was letting in water and unwanted pests, mainly spiders. Upon inspection, our systems specialist did not find mold but noticed a heavy smell of mildew, indicating there were cracks that needed to be sealed because insects and moisture were seeping in. The cracks were likely due to the home's unstable foundation. Helical piers were set in place (not pictured) to restore the home to a stable foundation. A vapor barrier was then installed in the crawl space to eliminate moisture and points of entry for spiders.

Brian and Gina were looking for a permanent waterproofing solution for their home. The couple decided to contact Ayers and set up a home inspection. The Ayers team concluded that water was leaking through areas in the foundation. The team suggested Drainage Matting and CleanSpace as they would eliminate their worries!

Drainage matting sits below the CleanSpace liner and houses dimples to funnel water to the sump pump. Additionally, CleanSpace utilizes a heavy-duty liner, providing a vapor barrier to keep water out! Brian and Gina were thrilled with the installation, as not only did the space look amazing, but now water will no longer be an issue!

A new homeowner in East Lansing, MI, wanted to enhance their recently purchased property by installing an egress window. Before the installation, the basement felt cramped and lacked natural light, making it less inviting. More importantly, the absence of an egress window posed safety concerns in the event of a fire, limiting escape routes.

We installed an egress window to address these issues, transforming the basement into a more functional and brighter space. This upgrade provides an emergency escape plan and adds valuable living space to the home. The homeowners can now enjoy a safer, more welcoming basement that enhances their new property's overall value and comfort.
