Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Foundational issues were becoming prevalent in Cody and Jasmine’s home so they called our team. We installed SmartJack, a system produced to halt your sagging floors. Floors above crawl spaces are vulnerable due to the moisture and soils in your crawl space. The SmartJack 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.

David was looking to get better support for his crawl space to ensure his foundation's protection. After calling Ayers we sent out our System Design Specialist to examine his crawl space. It was determined he would need SmartJacks.

SmartJacks are supplemental support systems for crawl space applications. This system will support sagging beams and floor joists. The SmartJacks are installed by attaching steel support beams to your floor joists and a sturdy base at the floor. After the posts are installed they get adjusted to raise your floors to a level position.

David was pleased to have his support issues addressed with the protection of our SmartJacksS

Amy's home was built in 1930 and has a stone foundation. She desperately needed the floors and foundation to be leveled, so she called Ayers. A crew inspected the home first to ensure we made the best recommendations. We suggested SmartJacks as the solution. Before our team installed the jacks, they cleaned up the area first. The space was covered with debris, dirt, and cobwebs. Next, they began implementing our SmartJack repair system. This solution consists of steel columns that we attached to a steel beam above and rest on a solid base in the subfloor. The system will support the sagging beams, restoring stability and straightness to her unlevel floors. Amy's worries over her home's foundation support are now at ease!

Don and his wife bought this home in January to live in when they retire in 5-10 years. They are currently working on finishing the basement but have heavy water intrusion that is halting that project. They are hoping to get everything around the home done and fixed up so they have nothing to worry about once they actually retire. We installed the TripleSafe sump pump to provide 3 levels of protection and peace of mind for the homeowners. We also installed the WaterGuard drain system to send the water to the sump pump so it can be expelled outside the home. Lastly, we used BrightWall to act as a vapor barrier to prevent water vapor or humidity from passing through into the space and keeping the home safe from mold or rot!

Don and his wife are currently working on finishing their Munith, MI home that they purchased in January. The couple plans on retiring in the next 5-10 years, so they really want to make sure their home is in tip-top shape before they retire full-time. They had a sump pump, but the waterline was so high, it was making Don nervous. Ayers came out for an inspection and saw that the water intrusion was steady and the sump pump was 2 gallons too full. Our crew determined that Don and his wife would need a new TripleSafe sump pump and WaterGuard with IceGuard. 

The TripleSafe sump pump system utilizes three pumps in order to remove excess water from the basement. The second and third pumps are in case of emergencies so the basement can remain dry, even when the power goes out. 

WaterGuard is a sub-floor waterproofing system that collects water that leaks through the walls and keeps dirt away from the foundation. It is installed along the perimeter of the basement and on top of the footing of the foundation. Concrete is poured on top and regular flooring can be placed on top. Finally, IceGuard was installed in conjunction with the WaterGuard. IceGuard is a simple addition to your already existing sump pump. It allows water to escape when the discharge line is frozen and prevents your basement flooding in cold weather. IceGuard is completely automatic, meaning after the initial installation, it’s done. 

Don and his wife were ecstatic with the work completed by Ayers and our crew and cannot wait to retire full-time. The were so impressed with the level of professionalism and craftsmanship that they would be thrilled to have us back if ever the need arises.
