Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

The concrete slab leading into this Zeeland, MI garage had sunk about 2" on one side and about 1.5" on the other. Using PolyLevel, we were able to lift the slab back into its original position. PolyLevel is the process of injecting high-density polymers into voids beneath the slab through tiny holes drilled in the slab. The voids are filled and the slab is lifted. The holes are then patched and the seams are filled with a joint sealer to help prevent further issues with sinking slabs.

This 80 year old home had foundation problems for a years but the problem was ignored. Eventually, the wall caved in. The good news is that it was fixable and we had a great solution for it. On the exterior, the wall was neatly built back up with blocks and sealed. On the interior, we used a product called Shotcrete to rebuild. Shotcrete is essentially concrete that is shot through a firehose at the wall and evenly applied. The structure is now strong and reliable once again. 

This customer in Zeeland, MI gave us a call because they wanted a solution to their cold, damp basement. After a thorough inspection, we recommended our patented CleanSpace encapsulation system. Although we normally use this for crawl spaces, when it is necessary, we also install the system in basements. CleanSpace will keep this customer's basement dry and free of any cold air by sealing air leaks, and will prevent any mold growth with its anti-microbial properties. 

Two concrete slabs meeting at an uneven level is a cause for some concern. Not only does it create an unsightly attraction, but it poses a serious tripping hazard and a popped tire waiting to happen. That's why this family in Zeeland, MI called us. Using our patented PolyLevel injection foam, we were able to raise this slab back to its original position. After the injection, the owners were able to drive on their slab in as little as 15 minutes. 

The before photo shows one of the multiple large cracks in the storage area of this basement. All of the cracks reached from the floor to ceiling, so the owner naturally related the moisture presence in the basement to the leaks. In the after photo, you can see the solution to the cracks. The crew needed to cover 3 different cracks with the FlexiSpan System. FlexiSpan is a two-layer polymer that will plug the leaks and provide a route for any seepage that does occur. The final destination for that seepage is also seen in the after photo. Below the freshly poured concrete rests a drain well that will escort water permanently out of the basement.
