Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

We sent a system design specialist out to this home in Kalamazoo because the foundation walls had horizontal cracks and it seemed as if the wall was almost tipping inward. Our system design specialists do a complete inspection inside and outside the home to ensure we offer the best advice and solution. After inspecting everything and talking it over with the homeowner, we both decided that our GeoLock Wall Anchor System would be the best fix to the cracking foundation.

GeoLock Wall Anchors are connected to earth anchors that are embedded into the soil out away from the foundation. The most unique benefit to Wall Anchors is their ability to be tightened over time which gives the wall the best chance at straightening back to its original position. Wall anchors can fix very severe bowing and leaning walls. They also solve the problem once and for all so no more worrying about your weakening foundation.

This Kalamazoo, MI home was built in 2001 and is now starting to show slight foundation concerns. There is a vertical crack in one of the basement walls that goes all the way down. While there isn't any water coming in yet the homeowners wanted to take some precautionary measures. 

Our system design specialist did a thorough inspection inside and outside the home to come up with a solution that would fix the cracking wall and suit the homeowners. The answer seemed to point right at CarbonArmor straps. Carbon Armor is flexible but unbelievably strong so it can stop the wall from bowing any further. It is also a good repair option for people who don't have much space for excavation on the outside of their home.

Our friend, Don D. from Kalamazoo, MI is no stranger to the Ayers Basement Systems family. He believes in the quality work we do and has invited us back to his home several times to complete various different projects. That’s why Don called us again when he became worried about the major mold concerns developing below his home. Mold can develop in your home in a variety of ways. High humidity and water leaking in create the perfect breeding ground for mold, and ultimately, this hazardous allergen can create aesthetic and respiratory ailments alike. Removing mold from your home is crucial for the health and well-being of everyone inside. Our team of expert crew members can help. We have developed an innovate solution called Mold-X to promptly treat the mold that may have grown in your basement or crawl space. In order to prevent mold from growing back after using this product, the treated area must be kept dry and without humidity. This is why we offer this affordable treatment along with our waterproofing services. Call us today to set up your free home inspection appointment!

A musty smell was coming from Mike’s crawl space so he called our team. He wanted his crawl space encapsulated so we installed CleanSpace, a plastic sheet material. It is used as a vapor barrier to restrict all moisture, outside air, and pests from entering your crawl space. Not only does this system create an energy-efficient crawl space, but it also gives your crawl space a clean finish. This material will be applied to your floors and walls to create a sleek look and an uninterrupted barrier. This system will stop moisture from entering his crawl space and get rid of musty smells.

Keith has a sinking front porch that he is worried about. The porch has support beams for a roof over it and the angle that the concrete is settling could cause issues with the roof. We used an injectable foam called PolyLevel to lift the sinking part of the concrete back up. This will give the homeowner peace of mind that the porch and roof are stabilized.
