Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

 There are several reasons why an unsealed crawl space can be a problem. For this crawl space in Kalamazoo, the dirt floors and cinderblock walls were the main areas of concern. Since dirt naturally holds some water, in a crawl space this water evaporates from the dirt into the air making the space damp. This humid air can cause the HVAC system to run overtime, resulting in higher energy bills. The block walls are also problematic since they’re so porous, meaning they readily suck up water from the ground, causing wet walls, which evaporates into the air.

It’s clear to see the reasons for installing CleanSpace in this home’s crawl space. Not only does this liner provide a moisture barrier from the ground and the walls, but also it’s incredibly durable and is made with an antimicrobial additive. Now these homeowners can be confident that they’ll have a dry crawl space for years to come.

The walkway leading to this homeowner’s home was settled, cracked and beginning to separate from the porch outside of the home. Thankfully, our team of experts used the PolyLevel system to level out the concrete slabs and prevent them from settling again in the future. We drilled small holes into the concrete and injected them with a specialized polymer material that expanded to lift the slabs back to their proper level. This system addressed the weak soil issue below the slabs that caused them to sink in the first place and made sure the problem was fixed once and for all. The last step in this installation was to seal off the cracks in the slab with NexusPro joint sealant, which was used to stop the cracks from expanding over time.

This Kalamazoo, MI Garage wall has seen better days. The concrete garage wall had an enormous horizontal crack spanning the length of the whole wall. Not only is this a scary sight for any homeowner, but the fear of knowing this wall can erupt any moment would send shivers down any spine. Not to worry, we have a solution for this problem. Our PowerBrace system was installed to anchor this wall to provide stability and support. These steel I-beam are placed along different sections of the wall, stretching floor to ceiling in length, and are secured into place with steel brackets. The anchors have the ability overtime to straighten this wall back out to its normal position. 

Janet’s workplace needed the sidewalk leveled so she called our team. We installed PolyLevel, a long-lasting and waterproof system that fixes concrete slabs by lifting them up to their original level. The process is quite simple and is done by drilling small holes into the concrete and then inserting a polyurethane foam into the holes. This foam expands and has a high density in order to lift the concrete slabs.

Scott's kitchen floor was starting to sag because his old rim josits were rotted. So our team installed SmartJack, a system produced to halt your sagging floors. Floors above crawl spaces are vulnerable due to the moisture and soils in your crawl space. The SmartJack system is a permanent fix to these issues and provides immediate stabilzation. It uses steel columns, threaded rods and a solid base to address any issues your crawl space may introduce to your floors.
