Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

The concrete slabs in William and Donnna's driveway were cracking and sinking so they called our team. We installed PolyLevel, a system designed to fix concrete slabs that have sunk by using a new product to lift the concrete slabs back to their original level. The new product used is a polyurethane foam that expands and has a high density in order to raise the concrete. The process is quite simple and is done by drilling small holes into the concrete and then inserting the foam into the holes. Also, the PolyLevel system is waterproof and long-lasting.

As water was seeping into her home, Carole sought a solution for her egress window. Carole decided to contact Ayers and set up an inspection for her home. Ayers sent out a System Design Specialist to conduct an inspection, where he determined that a new window enclosure would solve her issues! Carole decided to install a SunHouse Enclosure; it would provide a better seal and stop water from getting into her home! After working with Ayers, Carole no longer had water in her basement!

The back patio in the photos of this St. Joseph, MI home was a great place for the owners to kick back and relax at the end of the day. But as of lately, it had been causing a few headaches as well. The patio’s concrete slab was sloping towards the house, so whenever it rained water would puddle up at the door or enter the home.

The crew used TrenchDrain to give the owners the protection they were looking for. As you can see in the after photo, the drain spans across the entire doorway to keep every part of the home dry and protected. TrenchDrains can be either interior or exterior and are placed below floor level at low points or dips in the ground. The drains then act just like trenches and let gravity do the rest. These homeowners are now free to enjoy their back patio the way that they intended to. 

A customer called stating that they were experiencing a bit of a flooding problem in their crawlspace that had caused some mold to form. In order to fix this issue, the best solution was to install our Crawl Space Vapor Barrier.

This durable, white liner has a fast, clean installation. It gave the customer a dry, clean crawlspace in a day without worrying about troubling mold and water problems ever returning. 

The soil on the opposite side of this basement wall had caused the pipe to buckle and opened up a slight gap for water to enter. When it rained or snow melted, the leaks would be at their worse. As you can see in the before photo, the water would run down below the pipe and stain the wall. It was also common for the water to puddle on the floor before the owners could do anything about it. All of that was solved with the BrightWall panels in the after photo. The crew cut the panel around the shape of the pipe and placed it over the wall to create a rigid moisture barrier that won’t allow water to pass through. Instead as water leaks through the gap, it will flow down the wall behind the panel and into a drainage well at the foot of the wall. You can even see in the after photo where the fresh concrete was poured after the drainage well was installed. The BrightWall system not only stopped the leak, it also improved the look of the wall at the same time.
