Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

The customer approached us at a home show for help with her crawl space. Her home's floors were cold and she suspected she was losing heat through the crawl space. She wanted to stop paying to heat the ground, and to have a more comfortable home.

As she suspected, the crawl space was a huge energy drain, allowing the cold ground to affect the house above it. We installed the CleanSpace vapor barrier system along with our Ultimate Energy Savings package - TerraBlock insulation on the floor and SilverGlo insulation on the walls, as well as rim joist foam to finish the job.

Unattractive, water damaged, or mold-covered basement walls can be permanently repaired by our patented EverLast finished wall restoration system. This system adds insulation and creates a clean, finished look to your basement. The surface is also washable, and EverLast even comes with a 50 year warranty. This family in Richland, MI had us install EverLast and can now fully enjoy being in their basement. 

The basement of this Richland, MI home was leaking through the wall where the well pipe penetrated the wall. It’s very common for plumbing pipes to cause leakage at the spot of entry due to how often they move. The before photo shows the water damage around the pipe and where it leaked down to the floor. In the after photo, the leak has been solved with the FlexiSpan System. The system works by first plugging the leak with a flexible sealant, and then another layer of polymer creates a drainage route for any water that does leak through. The drainage layer then directs water to a drain well at the foot of the wall. You can see in the after photo where fresh concrete was poured after the drain well was installed. The leaking pipe won't bother this home again.

We received a call from a customer that lives in Richland, they told us about their sagging and creaky floors. We drove to their home to discover that there was not much support of the floors underneath. So we knew the perfect fix. SmartJacks. The SmartJack is a support system used to stabilize and level the floor joists in a crawl space. This system can support up to 60,000 pounds. The SmartJack system is placed on strong concrete fillings that have replaced the soil in that small location underneath the SmartJack.

These homeowners contacted us because they had a slab in their garage with a 3x3 section that was cracked and unleveled. The sidewalk at the entryway of the home was also settled. They started to notice the issue years ago, but were finally ready to fix it once and for all. We used the PolyLevel system that utilized high-density and lightweight polymers that were injected into the concrete slabs. The polymers expanded to fill in the gaps between the soil and the concrete and essentially lifted the slabs back to their proper level. To seal off the cracks in the garage, we used the NexusPro joint sealant that caulked the cracks and prevented them from shifting any further.
