Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

A customer in Bronson Michigan needed to have their crawl space insulated from the outside environment. We came to the rescue and installed CleanSpace Technology. CleanSpace is a 20 mil thick plastic liner that fits to the crawl space to completely seal the home from the earth. Polyester cord reinforcement allows for a lot of durability, to make it last longer than the home will. This liner also contains an antimicrobial additive to prevent mold. Now this house will not have to worry about a gross, moldy crawlspace and home.

Any diversions from a flat surface in your yard - hills, valleys, slants - can cause headaches when it comes to water. Our customer called because the slant to their driveway was helping water drain toward the house instead of away - sometimes it seemed to be coming right from the floor.

By installing TrenchDrain in the driveway, water can drain through the grated opening and divert to an outlet in the yard, far away from the house.

Our customer called after buying a house and realizing that the existing sump pump was not up to snuff. We replaced it with a TripleSafe sump pump and installed IceGuard on the discharge lines to protect against freezing lines next winter.

We received a call from these Jackson, MI residents complaining about a bulging basement wall. Our system design specialist immediately identified the problem as a bowing wall, a common issue for foundations caused by added pressure from surrounding soil. Thanks to a wide variety of products, we can treat bowing walls interiorly or exteriorly.  After meeting with one of our system design specialists, the couple decided they didn’t want to go through the excavation and invasiveness of an exterior solution and elected to install the PowerBrace system inside of their basement.

PowerBrace systems work by relieving the foundation wall of pressure and transferring it over to the steel beams. The beams are bolted to the floor joists in the ceiling using an adjustable bracket that will continue to force walls back to their original positions as time passes. The bottom of the beam is then attached to the concrete foundation slab. The condition of these walls will continue to improve until that “bulge” is a thing of the past.  

Our customer’s floors were sagging and they were concerned about foundation settlement. Often, sagging floors are caused by columns under the floor being spaced too far away from one another, weak floor joists, or column settlement. Our team used PolyLevel to raise the floors inside of their home. Polylevel can be used for interior or exterior slab leveling, requires fewer holes for injection and is environmentally friendly.
