Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Amy and Ryan felt uneasy about the dirty, damp crawl space beneath their home, which was filled with cobwebs. They were concerned about the potential impact of the water entering the crawl space on the stability and integrity of their home. After a thorough inspection with Ayers, they decided to install CleanSpace, a vapor barrier, along with drainage matting, to prevent water from entering. This solution not only helped keep the crawl space dry but also insulated it, making it warmer—an improvement Amy and Ryan had not initially considered.

Brian and Sam were looking to buy a 1920s house as an investment property. Brian, a local South Bend, IN home inspector, knew the home they were looking to purchase had some problems that needed to get fixed before allowing renters to live in the house, ensuring a safe and comfortable space. 

After evaluating the space, it was determined that there was a lot of water intrusion through the basement walls, which showed signs of damage, mold, and cracked walls.

With Ayer's providing a full-perimeter waterproofing system and CleanSpace wall protectant, Brian and Sam can feel at ease knowing their renters have a clean, waterproofed basement. The CleanSpace provides cleaner-looking walls and serves as a vapor barrier and protectant. Now, all water will flow down the walls, into the waterproofing system along the walls, and pump out of the home through a sump pump.

Egress window was needed to brighten up a basement and increase the safety of the home. 

Chad and Laura have lived in their 1990s home for eight years. When they bought it, the previous owner said the basement was sealed to keep out water. After a few months, they finished the basement for their two teenage sons. Over the last few years, they noticed water seeping up between the floorboards and wall whenever it rained, prompting them to seek a fix. To keep the water intrusion under control, they used a dehumidifier. After inspecting the area, the specialist found water damage and recommended a perimeter waterproofing system to prevent water from entering the basement. This solution included WaterGuard, a French drain installed below the floor slab, and a TripleSafe sump pump to remove water from the drainage system. Now, Chad and Laura can enjoy their finished basement again, knowing it will stay dry.

David and Marie's Kalamazoo, MI home was built in 1912 with a crawl space built in the 40s. The crawl space was filthy and made the floors freezing during the winter. Our crew came out for n inspection and determined that David and Marie would need us to install drainage matting and CleanSpace Wall System. 

Drainage matting is a liner for the crawl space that is placed underneath the CleanSpace plastic liner. If the crawlspace ever floods, the dimpled mat allows water to pass underneath to the drain and sump pump. 

CleanSpace Wall System is a moisture barrier that uses a thick plastic liner along basement and crawl space walls to keep them dry and last decades longer. It also has antibacterial properties that prevent mold and bacteria growth.  Damp air takes more energy to heat and cool. Cutting down on the moisture in the crawl space, in turn, will cut down on how much it costs to heat or cool the home. 

David and Marie were thrilled with Ayers and the work our crew did. They are so excited to be able to have warm and cozy feet in the winter, especially during this cold week.
