Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Melanie realized moisture could seep into her crawl space walls and floors, so she called Ayers for help. Our experts assessed the issue and recommended CleanSpace. This vapor barrier is applied to the walls and floors of the crawl space and has an antimicrobial liner that reduces mold and withstands wear and tear. Melanie is ecstatic about her crawl space transformation!

Sometimes a crack in your foundation is just a crack. But more often than not, it's a sign that something much bigger is wrong.

This time, it was the latter. We were called for a foundation repair but discovered that much more work was needed, and the homeowner decided to just take care of everything in order to ensure that the basement stays dry all the time, rather than try to fix problems as they arose.

We installed WaterGuard (pictured) with LawnGuard outlets, a TripleSafe sump pump, a SaniDry dehumidifier, the WellDuct window well drainage system, and power braces to strengthen the structure of the basement.

When these Montague, MI started noticing a musty smell coming from their crawl space, they knew they needed an encapsulation. That musty smell usually comes from moisture and humidity in the crawl space. Dirt floors (like the one seen in the before photo) allow vapor and heat to rise up and into the crawl space. Luckily for the owners, the CleanSpace system in the after photo is a complete vapor barrier that won’t allow moisture to pass through. The full encapsulation also covered the walls, just in case water was leaking through them as well. With the inclusion of a Sanidry CX Dehumidifier, there shouldn’t be any more trouble for this crawl space.

William realized there was standing water and mold in his crawl space. He knew if ignored, the problem would worsen and potentially lead to further damage. After contacting Ayers for help, our team of specialists visited his home and recommended CleanSpace, an antimicrobial-lined vapor barrier. CleanSpace is secured to the floors and walls of the crawl space uninterruptedly, sealing out moisture and preventing mold growth. William is glad he called Ayers and got the job done quickly! 

This Harrison, MI home had just been put on the market when the owners were told that the crawl space would need to be dried out before the home could be sold. Looking for a solution that would satisfy both the inspector and buyers without breaking the bank, the owners gave Ayers a call.

To pump water out and keep it that way, the crew installed a SmartSump. The sump will collect any water that enters the crawl space and direct it outside for drainage. Before completing the job, the crew covered the drainage pipe seen in the after photo with gravel. The owners chose to go with the 1/3 horse power pump which is capable of pumping out 2,500 gallons per hour. With any water that passes through the dirt floor being swiftly removed, this crawl space will no longer hinder sales.
