Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Properties with separate structures often run into similar issues with their foundations and the fact that they are not meant to be lived in can make it tempting for contractors to cut corners. These shortcuts can lead to expensive renovations if not careful. Ronald sadly had a bowing brick wall on his garage. When our foreman Blade inspected the sight he noticed the support was compromised to the point that the snow was heavy enough to bend the roof. Blade prescribed a series of SmartJacks to line the wall and restabilize the structure.

SmartJack piers are steel beams designed to reintroduce support to a wall. They are placed strategically along the support and anchored into the ground with poured concrete. The tops are fixed with load-bearing joints that are secured to a support beam. Each SmartJack is adjusted to constantly apply pressure to the initial structural support, this proves a permanent source of stabilization.

Shawn and Brad just moved in with thier daughter about a year ago, but the driveway dropped about four inches. It was separated from the house and had several cracks. They were worried about the safety of them and their daughter, as well as the wear and tear on their cars. Ayers came out for an inspection and we determined that PolyLevel and NexusPro would fix their driveway instantly. 

The PolyLevel System is used to repair sinking concrete by drilling minuscule holes into the slab and filling them with foam. The foam raises the slab and fortifies it to make it last even longer. NexusPro is a sealant that fills the cracks in the concrete. It is extremely withstanding to harsh weather so it will remain flexible for years. Shawn and Brad's concrete is back at the same level as the home, and will remain there!

Renee’s crawlspace has always let water in. She has owned the home for 11 years and recently put it up for sale. She had a buyer but the sale fell through because of the state of the crawlspace, so she called Ayers for an inspection. Our crew determined that CleanSpace would be the perfect solution. 

CleanSpace Wall System is a moisture barrier that uses a thick plastic liner along basement and crawl space walls to keep them dry and last decades longer. It also has antibacterial properties that prevent mold and bacteria growth.  Damp air takes more energy to heat and cool. Cutting down on the moisture in the crawl space, in turn, will cut down on how much it costs to heat or cool the home.

Renee was ecstatic that water is finally staying out of the crawlspace. She was so happy with Ayers, she wants another quote for other services.

Our customer called with multiple cracks in his basement wall. There wasn't much water coming in, but there was some - and that's the right time to fix the crack. Otherwise, water will degrade the concrete as it continues to leak in, further widening the crack and letting even more water in, and so on and so forth.

We used FlexiSpan to seal the crack; FlexiSpan is a flexible sealant that moves with the crack as the wall naturally shifts, keeping it sealed. A small drain in the concrete below the crack keeps water directed away from the basement floor, and the basement stays dry.

Jeff was looking to get better support structure posts in his crawl space to help support his home better, so he called up Ayers. After we conducted a free inspection at his home to pinpoint the best solution, it was decided he could use SmartJacks. This is a supplemental support system built for crawl space applications and made of steel columns that will support her failing support structures. This will lift the home back to its original position and ensure the home's weight is supported and stabilized. This also consists of a sturdy base installed in the ground and attached are these strong, steel columns that extend to maximize support. Jeff was glad he got a professional fix that will keep his home and family safe!
