Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

A customer in Jackson approached us with a wet crawl space that needed help before it would be invaded by mold. Luckily, we had just the fix to keep this homeowner's basement dry from the outside enviornment. We installed our moisture fighting CleanSpace system. 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. This liner should also be combined with CleanSpace vent covers to insulate and seal the air out.

Bob B. called us because the cement slab by his steps on the porch was sinking and it kept getting worse over time. He was worried that someone was going to get hurt so he wanted to see about raising the slab back to it's original height. We sent out a system design specialist to check it out and we were able to do just that with our PolyLevel system. 

PolyLevel is a simple repair to sinking concrete slabs on your porch, around your pool, your sidewalks etc. This method uses high-density, structural grade polymers to to raise slabs back to the desired level. Small holes (smaller than a penny), are drilled into the cement and and the polymers are then injected into the void. Once the void is filled the polymers expand and allow the slab to lift. The material is waterproof so it can't get washed out and it cures very quickly and is usually ready about 15 minutes after being done.

How do you think the water that comes in your basement from the walls or floor get out of your basement? I mean it can't rely solely on gravity to drain it. You need a sump pump to pump the water out and get it far enough away it can't come right back in. Sometimes sump pumps break or get old and stop working but no worries we have plenty of options for every budget and every basement. This customer in Jackson, MI had the current sump pump but during rainy seasons it ran non stop and they wanted something that didn't have to run so often but still got the job done without flooding their basement.

We were able to install our TripleSafe sump pump for them. This is our top of the line pump that has 3 pumps in 1 liner. The first pump is the main pump to get the water out, the second is there in case of a lot of water and you need back up, the third pump is battery operated in the event your power goes out. TripleSafe also comes with an airtight lid so water won't evaporate back into your basement and it even has an alarm if it can't keep up and you need to take action to prevent a flooded basement.

Oak Hill Condominium association wanted to ensure that the condo they had for sale was ready for the next owner and would be an easy sale. We did some waterproofing work to the basement and also did some concrete leveling to the sidewalks around the condo. 

There's many reasons you should fix your sinking concrete. For example, the problem will continue to get worse, it affects the resale value, it's safety hazard and let's be honest it's not very appealing. Just because your concrete is starting to crack or sink doesn't mean that you have to replace it, we offer a much simpler and less invasive solution.

PolyLevel uses high-density polymers to raise slabs back to their desired level. This is accomplished by drilling small holes in the concrete and then injecting the polymers into the void. The holes are small (about the size of a penny). The material is waterproof so it won't wash out beneath the slab and its cure time is so quick it can be driven on within 15 minutes after installation. 

Our customer Greg, from Jackson, MI had standing water in his crawlspace. Greg also admitted that he was worried about the sagging support beam below his home. He saw an Ayers Basement Systems truck on the highway and wrote down our phone number. He was hoping we were the local experts that could end all of his crawlspace struggles. Greg gave us a call one morning.

After assessing Greg’s crawlspace needs, we installed our patented CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system to address the current moisture issues being faced below his home. The CleanSpace encapsulation product is a thick plastic lining that completely seals off the crawl space from the ornery elements it faces below. The CleanSpace drainage matting we installed will allow the water to easily flow to the Super Sump. The Super Sump is a budget conscious sump pump system that contains an air tight lid, floor drain, pump stand, and a pump alarm. These are the essential features needed to help keep a basement dry.

We also determined that Greg’s foundation needed additional support. To supplement the CleanSpace and support his home we installed three Smart Jacks. The Smart Jack is a supplemental support system for crawl space applications. The Smart Jack effectively supports sagging beams and floor joists caused by, a length of span greater than spanning capability, floor load increased after construction, exceeding design values, and weakening over time due to high moisture and rot. With this completed system in place, it became evident that Greg’s cranky crawlspace was no match for our level of expertise.
