Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

This home, built on sandy soil, showed significant foundation concerns, including a cracking basement window and deteriorating block joints near the bottom. With both an addition featuring a block foundation and an original stone Michigan basement, the customer was understandably worried about the stability of their home.

Ayers thoroughly inspected all joints, joists, beams, and footers, then reinforced the foundation and repaired the deteriorating joints. We also applied a clean coating to the basement walls, enhancing the structure’s integrity. Now, with a stable and secure foundation, the homeowner can rest easy knowing their home is safe and sound.

Our customer had a cold, damp, and moldy crawl space that was making his house just as cold. After installing the CleanSpace vapor barrier system, we installed SilverGlo insulation panels, which not only insulate the crawl space, but are mold and moisture resistant.

A customer in Stevensville, Michigan called about installing an egress window. The previous window was getting old, worn out and need of an upgrade. Our Egress windows provide a cleaner looking window, while also making the home more energy-efficient. This solution will last for years to come.

This customer had a wall in his basement that was starting to lean inward. The block foundation walls had multiple stair-step cracks on the outside that were sure signs of wall failure.

To stabilize the wall we used the effective carbon armor system. Specialized carbon fiber straps were adhered to the wall with a strong epoxy resin. Once applied, the system was secured into place with steel brackets and the wall was immediately stabilized. These straps also help to shift the wall back to its proper position over time.

The crawl space in the before photo had a few issues that were holding up the sale of the home. A potential buyer had recently seen the home and was willing to purchase it, but insisted that the owner permanently rid the crawl space of the water and musty smell in it. While the owners wanted the problem solved as soon as possible, they asked that we wait until August when they finished a few more of the repairs in preparation for the sale. The solution in the after photo is our CleanSpace vapor barrier system that will permanently solve the moisture issues in this crawl space for the current and future owners. Not only will the liner keep out moisture, it will also block out the odor that was causing the musty smell in the crawl space. The barrier will be the perfect selling component for the home.
