Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Jeff V opted to install an Everlast egress window in his mother's basement after having the entire space waterproofed. These windows bring in more light at eye level but also prevent moisture from entering the basement. These windows also provide energy savings in the long run. 

A horizontal crack appeared in John’s foundation. So he called our team and we installed SmartJack. SmartJack is a system produced to halt sagging floors. Due to the soils and moistures in your crawl space, floors above crawl spaces are vulnerable. The Smart Jack system is a permanent fix to these issues. It uses steel columns, threaded rods, and a solid base to address any issues your crawl space may introduce to your floors. Installing this system usually takes less than a day and it provides immediate stabilization.

In addition to cracks in the walls and stairs, two of Andrew’s basement walls were bowing in. To stop these issues, he called our team for repair options. Our team installed CarbonArmor, a wall reinforcing system constructed to repair damaged and bowing foundation walls. CarbonArmor is used to fix your foundation walls by preventing inward movement and reducing the cracks in your walls. This system can easily be concealed for your basement to have a sleek, finished look.

Ed is a contractor and he was working on a house in Grand Haven, MI when he came across cracked foundation walls that needed to be addressed. He called Ayers to come out for an inspection and get it fixed before he continued with the project. Our System Design Specialists decided to install our GeoLock Anchors to fix this issue.

Our GeoLock Anchors provide a long-lasting, trustworthy solution to wall cracks as they prevent any further inward wall movement. This product consists of three parts and the first being the interior anchor plate. This will sit on the inside of the foundation wall. Then a steel cable is drilled through the plate, the wall, and the soil to a predetermined distance from the house. The next step is anchoring another plate to the other end of the cable, in stable soil. These anchors will work together to ensure the wall doesn't bow further from soil pressure. By anchoring them in the stable soil as seen in the after picture, we can tighten them over time which will help straighten the wall.

Ed was grateful to have these foundation problems corrected before continuing his home project!

Cory and his wife transformed their dark, outdated basement into a safe and comfortable living space for their son and a quiet home office. We installed two egress windows with stone escape wells and lids, bringing in natural light and meeting safety code requirements. The family was thrilled with the results - and grateful for the extra care we took to help restore their yard.
