Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

This homeowner just noticed that the crawl space had some water damage on the walls and floor although they suspected it had been happening for a while. There was no standing water but the water had been coming in from the walls. We installed Drainage Matting on the floor of the crawl space to allow water to flow and be directed to the sump pump to drain. We then installed the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier which is a thick durable liner similar to a pool liner. This liner prevents water vapor and humidity from passing through it. By keeping your crawl space dry, you are protecting your structure and insulation from mold and rot.

Doris gave Ayers a call when he noticed water pouring through under the small window well in the basement. The professionals at Ayers inspected the issue and decided to go ahead and install our Egress Windows. 

This is an effective solution as it consists of a large well and a safe exit passage in the case of an emergency. Another benefit being the larger window will provide better natural light, making the space seem bigger and more inviting. 

Doris now has cleaner, larger, and more inviting windows that help transform his basement into a regular living space!

Jennifer wanted to complete her basement by adding an Egress Window. Her daughter wanted to move into the basement so Jennifer was looking to get a bigger window that would open up the space. She did some searching online and found that Ayers installs Egress Windows so she gave us a call. 

These Egress Windows are much larger than the typical basement window so more natural light and fresh air will fill the room. The most important feature being these windows allow for a safe, quick exit in an emergency situation. This is definitely needed with her daughter wanting to live in the basement. The window will open up her space and make it more inviting for her or any guests that visit.

Jennifer was thankful with the final look of her basement as this Egress Window transformed the room into a regular living space!

Carole had a concrete wall in the basement that was cracked and causing water to seep in. She called Ayers to have an inspection done at her home so she could figure out possible solutions. Our System Design Specialists were able to recommend FlexiSpan from this inspection. FlexiSpan is a solution that has a two-layer sealant process. One layer fills the crack with a polyurethane sealant and the other part we add is a drainage route for the water intrusion to be directed. We place a white panel over the now sealed crack and place a drainage well in the sub-floor below this to catch the water if it permeates. Carole was glad these pesky puddles were finally resolved without a full wall remodel!

Patrick realized his floors were uneven due to his lack of foundation support in his crawl space so he called Ayers for our repair solutions. After we conducted an inspection we were able to agree on installing our SmartJacks. These are steel, adjustable columns that provide foundation support. This repair system will lift the floors to their original positions and can be extended over time for better support. The steel columns were attached to a steel supplemental beam above and and they rest on a solid base installed in the sub-floor. This solution will provide Patrick's foundation with strength and stability!
