Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Mary’s front porch was sinking and cracked, so our team installed PolyLevel. PolyLevel is a waterproof and long-lasting system designed to fix concrete slabs that have sunk. It uses a polyurethane foam that expands and has a high density in order to lift the concrete slabs back to their original level. The process is quite simple and is done by drilling small holes into the concrete and then inserting the foam into the holes.

Fully finishing a basement can be expensive and take a lot of time to do right.  BrightWall lets you quickly change the look of your basement space without breaking the bank or taking ages to complete.  BrightWall uses semi-rigid plastic panels that can funnel water straight into the installed WaterGuard system.  Humidity passing through the wall is often what peels paint and ruins clean basement looks and thanks to BrightWall being inorganic and waterproof, you'll never have to worry about that!  Clean up your peeling paint or help waterproof with BrightWall!

This Kalamazoo homeowner had a front porch that was sinking and cracked. We used PolyLevel to lift the porch back to where it should be and then used NexusPro Concrete Repair to fill in the crack and make sure it did not get bigger. PolyLevel is a lightweight foam that is injected under the concrete to lift it up. It is waterproof and stable so not washing away or reacting with soil. It also cures in about 15 minutes so you can be back on it in no time! The crack repair is a silicone-based filler that is designed to withstand harsh weather and remain flexible and it dries in an hour!

Paint was flaking in Julie’s basement due to  water entering her basement through her window. We installed an EverLast basement window in order to fix her problem. EverLast windows are made from insulated glass so Julie won't have to worry about heat loss or water seeping through cracks in the window. Also, EverLast windows do not rot no matter how much water they are in contact with. Therefore, installing an EverLast window let Julie relax and no longer have to worry about water intrusion.

Denise was dealing with bowing foundation walls in her basement and she knew that she needed a professional opinion on possible solutions. She gave Ayers a call so she wouldn’t have to worry about the safety of her home anymore. We sent a crew for inspection and it was determined she would need our CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System and BrightWall. 

We first installed CarbonArmor which consists of fiber-reinforced polymer straps that are ten times stronger than steel. These straps get attached to the wall with a special epoxy resin and secured to the joists above with steel brackets. Soil pressure is typically the culprit when it comes to bowing foundation walls and with CarbonArmor, we can stabilize a wall and secure it against future bowing. The last product we installed was BrightWall which consists of waterproof, rigid, plastic paneling that will transform her basement space into a bright, gorgeous space that will last for decades. BrightWall even keeps water vapor and humidity from passing through foundation walls which will protect against gross mold development. 

Denise was relieved to have her bowing foundation walls corrected and cleaned up!
