Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

The homeowners in Grand Rapids, MI had a dirt crawl space. When a home has a dirt crawl space it allows a lot of water vapor to get into the crawl space air. The earth is damp, that dampness gets into the air, that air moves up into your home causing your home to be damp and humid as well. If your home and your crawl space are damp and humid that leads to higher energy bills and could lead to structural damages. 

The homeowner in Grand Rapids was noticing that his energy bills were going up & quickly realized that it was due his crawl space's dirt floors. They were letting all the humid, damp air into his home. Our professional team installed CleanSpace encapsulation system to save this homeowner from skyrocketing energy bills.

The CleanSpace system covers the floors and walls of your crawl space with a thick, durable plastic vapor barrier that protects your home from moisture, unwanted pests, and outside air. CleanSpace saved the homeowner money and now he does not have to worry! 

This customer had a garage wall that was cracked, bowing inward and he believed it was starting to settle as well. The garage wall had been like this for almost 3 years but it was time to get it fixed before the entire garage collapsed. 

We were able to install our wall anchor system to fix this garage wall. We placed 5 anchors on the wall that will work over-time to straighten it back to its original position. Wall anchors are very versatile because they can fix bowing walls, walls that are pushing in at the botttom and even ones that are just tipping in at the top. These anchors are also not attached to the floor system so you don't have to worry about any issues there. They also really restore property value and are quick installation. 

This customer noticed a crack had formed in his garage wall over the past few years. Stairstep cracks are a telltale sign that your wall is failing. A failing wall is not good for resale value and definitley not good for the saftey of you or your family. It's a good idea to get foundation issues addressed as soon as possible so it doesn't create more a problem. 

For this wall crack in the customers garage we were able to install our Wall Anchors to fix the problem. Wall anchors are a very versatile repair method because they can fix: bowed walls, walls that are tipping, and walls that are pushing inwward. These anchros are installed independently of the floor system so they are a good choice to fix very severe problems. They can also be tightened over time to make sure your wall is getting back to its original position. Wall anchors can be installed around pipes, vanities, sinkes, toilets and so much more which make them a great minimal disturbing choice for repairing your walls.

Our wonderful client Helen from Grand Rapids, MI had water entering into her crawl space with each rain storm she endured. Living in her dream home was slowly turning into a nightmare. Helen’s worry about mold growth became an eye opener to our friend that she needed to address her neglected crawl space. Helen’s trusted friend’s Sarah & Dan told her that they knew just the right contractor to help guide her, Ayers Basement Systems. That day we received our new friend’s call for help, and the journey to a dry crawl space began.

Upon examination of the issues at hand, our professionals sat down with Helen and addressed our concerns. One key concern was the lack of a sump pump. Together Helen and our team devised a dry crawl space solution consisting of our CleanSpace encapsulation system and a Smart Sump pump. The CleanSpace is made with anti-microbial properties that prevent mold growth, so Helen could be sure mold will not form on the encapsulation system. After the first few storms with her new system, Helen went down to see if the system had solved her problems. After seeing not a single drop of water had entered her crawl space, she went back up the stairs with a smile on her face. Like Helen, you don’t have to face your crawl space issues alone.

Chad M. needed to address the leaks in his basement that eventually led to standing water in one of the basement corners. That water led to the growth of mold which concerned the family. After we installed a WaterGuard system around the perimeter of the basement to capture water entering the basement, Chad decided to also add an egress window. These windows bring light into the basement, provide a safe way to egress a basement during an emergency and they are correctly sealed to keep cold outside air out.
