Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Andrew called when he noticed that the moisture in his crawl space was causing a musty smell inside and even all around the outside of the home. We encapsulated the crawl space with CleanSpace vapor barrier and replaced the ineffective traditional fiberglass insulation with inorganic and waterproof FrothPak to ensure that the crawl space is insulated without providing food for mold growth.

Carol M. called because she received a pre-mailer from us and noticed a picture of a crawl space that was encapsulated with CleanSpace. Carol was unhappy with her dirt crawl space and wanted it to look like the one in the picture. Little did she know a dirt crawl space is more than just an eyesore, it is actually causing many unknown problems for the homeowner. The exposed earth in her space is letting a constant stream of water vapor to enter creating an excess amount of moisture, which can lead to mold and rot. Unfortunately, any mold spores and smelly, wet or humid air will flow upward into her home due to the “Stack Effect”. The installation of CleanSpace will fix both the aesthetic in the space and the actual harmful effects of a dirt crawl space. CleanSpace is durable plastic liner that is perfectly sized and fastened securely to your crawl space walls. The liner is water and vapor proof with a microbial additive to prevent mold growth. Another added bonus with this liner is the bright white color that transforms your ugly, dirty crawl space into a clean, bright space. Thanks to CleanSpace, Carol now has the crawl space of her dreams.

Sagging crawl spaces can be a big problem. Crawl spaces support the home above them, and if this structure is failing, your house could be seriously in trouble. This Rockford, MI family gave us a call because of their fear of this failure. After a complete free, professional inspection, our team decided to install our patented SmartJack crawl space stabilizer. SmartJack provides supplemental support to your failing structure and can also often lift failing floor joists or beams, taking them back to their original position. The worry of a crumbling crawl space is no longer there! Now this family can feel safe in with their crawl space, and in their home.

Alfred called us becuase his driveway was sinking in multiple spots. It casued trip hazards and with driving on it, the driveway was just getting worse. We injected PolyLevel Foam to lift up and level the concrete. PolyLevel is very lightweight but strong enough to hold up concrete with heavy loads like vehicles on it. It is also waterproof so that the rain won't wash it away. PolyLevel also has a very quick curing time so you can drive or walk on it within about 15 minutes of it being injected!

Duane called us about his retaining wall. The wall was an extension of the home and was unfortunately cracking and leaning some. He wasn't sure what that meant for the stability of the home but knew it couldn't be good. The good news is that we had a reliable fix for Duane. The answer was C-Channel wall anchors. Long steel C-channels along the retaining wall were connected to steel GeoLock earth anchors buried out in the yard, away from the wall using  long steel rods. This prevents the wall from leaning any further and creates an option for slowly tightening the system over time, potentially improving the condition of the wal. With the possibility of any further damage prevented, Duane can now breathe easy.
