Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Trudi noticed water leaking into her basement from the seams between the floor and walls. She spent the last few days trying to mop up the water and eventually called Ayers to learn about our waterproofing solutions. Our team of specialists stopped by her home and recommended installing the WaterGuard drainage pipe system. WaterGuard reduces drainage pipe clogs by sitting atop the home's footing rather than alongside it like most systems. Trudi is happy to put her mop away!

Paul was worried about his basement walls as they had excess moisture dripping from them and no efficient sump pump system to deal with it, so he called Ayers. After our crew inspected his basement it was agreed that we would install our CleanSpace Wall System and SuperSump Plus to resolve these problems. First with the CleanSpace Wall System this is made of a durable, plastic liner with a vapor barrier that will prevent this moisture development on the walls. Then SuperSump Plus was added to take care of any water that does happen to drain down the wall as this is a horsepower pump capable of pumping 2200 gallons of water an hour.

Paul was grateful to have two efficient, trustworthy systems installed to keep his walls clean and dry!

We want to revolutionize your crawl space -- and we can do it with our patented CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system. This Kalamazoo home had us install CleanSpace, providing a dry, air-sealed space that keeps out cold and moisture. Now this space is safe to be used for storage and has the ability to lower your heating bills.

This Scotts, MI customer first became interested in a crawl space encapsulation a few years ago. Unfortunately, the only access door to the crawl space was covered in snow, so both her and our crew were forced to wait until the snow thawed.  Once our system design specialist was finally able to go into the home, he discovered that not only was water getting into the crawl space, the pipes were freezing during colder temperatures. He decided the best thing for the crawl space would be both an encapsulation and insulation installation.

The after photo shows both systems that were used to save the crawl space from its temperature and water issues. CleanSpace liner is the white plastic covering the crawl space floor. As a vapor barrier, it will keep out the moisture that rises through the dirt floor then wets and cools the crawl space. The spray foam on the walls is one of our insulation methods. Once applied, the waterproof foam seals up any leaks or holes in the cobblestone wall and simultaneously insulates. Neither temperature or moisture should affect this crawl space again.

We worked on this Kalamazoo, MI crawl space as a part of a full waterproofing job the owner wanted for her basement. She noticed water on the walls of the basement and thought that it may have gotten into one of her two crawl spaces, as well. The before photo shows that some damage had definitely been done to this one. Crawl spaces without encapsulations are always at risk because both the dirt floor and walls are easy ways for water to pass through. The after photo shows our CleanSpace floor encapsulation.

CleanSpace is a waterproof vapor barrier that won’t permit the passage of moisture into the crawl space. The stains in the before photo suggest that a large amount of the water was coming down the walls, so they need a system of protection as well. The SilverGlo wall panels in the after photo are wall insulation and a waterproof barrier that will protect the crawl space in a similar way to CleanSpace.
