Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Anna's basement wall appeared to be shifting and she was worried it would eventually cave in. She chose Ayers for our foundation repair solutions, so we set a time for a free inspection. After the inspection was complete, our team agreed that GeoLock Wall Anchors would resolve the foundation support issues. This solution consists of large steel plates that are attached to the affected wall and out to stable soil where they are anchored by a smaller plate underground. The system can be tightened over time, potentially straightening the wall to its original position. Outside soil pressures cause these walls to shift, so having these anchors secured out in stable soil will correct this issue. Anna was thankful for the professional foundation help that eased her concerns!

Scott in Freeland, MI, struggled with water pooling in his basement due to a failing sump pump that couldn’t keep up with the constant water intrusion. To solve this, Ayers upgraded his sump pump to the powerful TripleSafe® system, ensuring maximum protection against flooding. With the new system in place, Scott’s basement is now dry, secure, and protected from future water damage.

Larry noticed a musty smell in the living space of his home and wasn't sure where it originated. He searched his whole house for the source with no luck. After researching his options, he called Ayers to learn about our waterproofing solutions, and we sent a crew of professionals to his home. They evaluated the space and recommended the installation of CleanSpace, the vapor barrier designed to eliminate moisture entry and mold growth. CleanSpace is constructed of antimicrobial-lined material and applied to the crawl space floors and walls. Larry loves the fresh smell of his home! 

Aaron and Kacy suspected their unfinished Michigan basement was causing their son's severe allergies in their Akron, MI, home. Their crumbling block foundation showed clear signs of moisture intrusion, leading to mold, musty odors, and poor air quality. They called Ayers for a professional basement encapsulation to create a healthier home. Our team installed a CleanSpace® vapor barrier, drainage matting, and a SaniDry® dehumidifier to seal out moisture and allergens. Their home in the Michigan thumb area is drier, healthier, and safer, giving their son much-needed relief.

With the concrete moved away, the WaterGuard set in and the drainage stone laid down, the final step is to cover the system with a new layer of cement. The cement will cure and the basement will look good as new, but with one difference: no more unwanted water.
