Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

This Wayland, MI homeowner had been in talks with us regarding his foundation for 4 years. When he finally decided to pull the trigger and fix his sagging floors, he thought it was as good a time as any to do something about the irregular temperatures in his home, as well. He had previously had foam injection treatments, but they hadn’t solved the problem. However, thanks to those injections, the owner knew exactly where the problem was coming from and told the system design specialist that his crawl space was in dire need of an encapsulation. The white plastic in the after photo is part of the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System. Impenetrable by moisture, CleanSpace will keep moist or cold air from entering the crawl space and subsequently rising into the home. It’s the perfect product to help better control crawl space temperatures. 

Water intrusion had become a problem Karen and Steve’s crawl space. So our team installed CleanSpace, a plastic sheet material used as a vapor barrier to restrict all moisture, outside air, and pests from entering your crawl space. Not only does this system create an energy-efficient crawl space, but it also gives your crawl space a clean finish. This material will be applied to your floors and walls to create a sleek look and an uninterrupted barrier.

Cold drafts were lingering in Karen and Steve’s home so  they called our team and we insulated their rim joists. Around rim joists small cracks and seams can exist, but after insulating them all of those cracks are sealed off. Now airflow is restricted keeping outside air out and inside air in. They will no longer have to worry about their home being cold during the long winter months in Michigan.

The homeowners in Wayland MI, noticed that their floors were sagging. Sagging floors indicate a serious structural problem that will worsen over time. These conditions can make floors unsafe, while also causing unslightly cracks in wallboards and beneath baseboard molding. 

The best solution to adress sagging floors is to install SmartJack posts beneath the beam that supports your foundation. The SmartJacks allow the floor to be raised back to its original level over time. As an added bonus all SmartJack parts are protected from rust with a thick galvanized coating. 

Thanks to SmartJacks the homeowners floor is now well on its way to being fixed! 

Unlevel concrete not only looks bad, but it is not safe. This homeowner from Wayland called us about his concrete slabs by his house that were very unlevel. As you can see the hole slab of concrete dropped 1.5 inches! We improved the safety and look of his home by installing PolyLevel technology.

PolyLevel is an advanced polymer injection foam that is injected through very small holes in the concrete. Once the foam is injected, the concrete slab rises to its original position and becomes stronger than ever before. PolyLevel worked to raise and level out the concrete slabs while dealing with the weak soils below that were no longer able to hold the weight of the home above. We drilled multiple small holes into the concrete slabs in order to inject them with a polymer material that expanded to lift and level out the concrete. Once injected, the system only needed about 15 minutes to fully cure and the slabs were then stabilized and lifted to their proper level, and stronger than ever before.
