Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Kathy was looking to sell her home but had some stair step cracks and a bowing wall in the basement. She wanted it fixed so she could put the home on the market. We installed GeoLock Wall Anchors to halt further movement in the walls. These wall anchors work extending from your wall to the hard packed soil beyond your home. They anchor into these stronger, stable soils and brace the foundation wall. This system is installed with minimal disruption to your lawn, and they won't damage the interior of your basement or take up usable space.

Cheryl had a bowing wall in her block foundation. So she called our team and we installed CarbonArmor in her basement. CarbonArmor is a wall reinforcing system constructed to repair damaged and bowing foundation walls. By preventing the inward movement and reducing the cracks in your walls, CarbonArmor is able to prevent Cheryl’s wall from continuing to bow. This system can easily be concealed for your basement to have a sleek, finished look.

These Allegan homeowners noticed that their front porch was settling and the first step was cracked. The steps were settling so much that there was a gap in between the siding and the steps to the porch. We installed PolyLevel to keep the home from damage. PolyLevel is a very light but strong injectable foam. It is waterproof and stable so it won't wash away or react with soils. The best part is that the cure time is only 15 minutes!

The homeowners had a vertical crack on the interior wall of their basement. 

Our professional team decided that the FlexiSpan crack repair system was the best option for these homeowners. The first response to a cracked basement wall is often an application of patching mortar or masonry sealant.

Unfortunately, this quick fix rarely works because of poor adhesion to the masonry or a slight movement along the crack that breaks the seal. The FlexiSpan system is a three part process. The first step is to apply a flexible sealant along the crack. The second step is to put a strip of flexible and porous foam over the crack. The last step is to put an impermeable membrane adhesive along both sides of the flexispan. This fail-safe treatment allows any future seepage of water through the crack to move invisibly down the wall and into the basement’s perimeter drainage system.

The Fulton family wanted to finish their basement and create a bedroom downstairs. They opted for an egress window to bring in more light but also to satisfy the requirements of the law that stipulate that all basement bedrooms have an egress window. You can see that enough dirt is excavated to allow for an easy exit in case of an emergency. That cleared space also brings in a ton of light.
