Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

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!

After purchasing their Kalamazoo, MI home, this couple discovered water pooling in the basement—an issue that hadn’t been disclosed during the sale. Planning to move in 3-5 years, they wanted to resolve the water intrusion before listing the property. Ayers installed a comprehensive waterproofing system, including BrightWall panels to protect and brighten the space, CleanSpace to seal out moisture, WaterGuard to channel water away, and a TripleSafe sump pump to ensure reliable drainage. Their basement is now dry and protected, offering peace of mind today and a selling point for the future.

This dim and leaky Kalamzoo basement desperately needed help. The walls were wet and stained, the floor was wet - the entire area felt dingy and dark. This family decided to take back their basement, and Ayers was there to help. With the addition of the WaterGuard drainage system, a SuperSump Pump, and BrightWall, the basement went through a remarkable transformation. 

Our crew started with WaterGuard to tackle the leaking water problem. After the concrete around the perimeter had been removed, the system was installed and patched back up underground and out of sight. The WaterGuard will collect any water from the walls or floor acting as a drain by directing it into the SuperSump Pump. The SuperSump can send over 2,000 gallons of water through the system per hour and is one of the most reliable methods for keeping a basement dry when paired with WaterGuard. The SuperSump pumps the water and moisture outside and away from the house.

Power Brace was added the the basement walls, which are steels beems to counteract any bowing the walls may face. The beams are attached into the foundation of the floor and ceiling, and can be tightened to help walls return to their original position. The BrightWall was the final touch and tied the basement together. Installation of the inorganic platic panels will stop any mold from growing, and hide any stained walls making the basement brighter and more welcoming.

A customer needed new support in her crawl space because her floor above were sloping. 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. It uses steel columns, threaded rods and a solid base to address any issues your crawl space may introduce to your floors. Installing this system usually takes less than a day and it provides immediate stabilization.
