Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

This Kalamazoo couple had an earthquake that caused a crack in their front porch a couple years ago. The concrete has started to sink about an inch where the crack is and they called us to see what the options were. We used PolyLevel to raise the concrete to the original level and NexusPro to seal the crack on the concrete. Both dry in a short amount of time compared to other solutions!

The landing between the house and garage was sinking, creating an unsafe trip hazard for the homeowner. A quick afternoon trip to Kalamazoo by our PolyLEVEL team was all that was needed to raise the concrete slab and make it safe to walk over once again.

Water had been pouring through these block walls and then puddling on the basement floor. While the flooding hadn't been too terrible, the leaks did result in the stains on the wall and floors seen in the before photo. Other than the stains, the walls also had visible cracks where the water was flowing through.

To fix the leaks and cover up the stains from the past, the crew brought out BrightWall rigid plastic panels. The panels are a moisture barrier, and instead of allowing water to flow down to the floor, they keep water out of sight and behind the barrier. Then the panels direct any leakage to a perimeter drainage system under the floor footing. In one installation, the BrightWall panels waterproofed and improved this basement's look.

The concrete floor of Bernard and Debra’s garage had shifted and sunk. So our team installed PolyLevel, 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.

A customer wanted to turn part of her basement space into a bedroom. So she called our team for help and so we installed an Egress Window and Well. Due to poor insulation around the window, most windows offer minimal protection against outside air entering the home. Egress windows will help ventilate your indoor areas and prevent unwanted allergens from entering your house. In addition, egress windows provide a safe exit in case of emergency so they are required in finished basement living areas and these windows provide lots of natural light.
