Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Have a foundation comprised of stone or brick? Odds are, this foundation will start to give out sooner or later. When it does, like this Sherwood, MI family's did, we can repair the damage with our patented Shotcrete. Shotcrete is a sprayable, air-bubbled filled concrete that is also known as cellular concrete. Cellular concrete is resistant to freeze-thaw changes that weakens traditional concrete, is lightweight and practically self-leveling, has a fast installation process, and can easily be modified to suit multiple purposes. With Shotcrete, this family has a long-lasting solution to prevent against foundation failure. 

Quinn's concerns about her foundation support were growing. The wooden support posts in her basement were rotting. She called Ayers for our foundation repair options. We sent a team to her home for a free inspection to determine the appropriate repair option. SmartJacks are the right solution for Quinn's basement. SmartJacks provide supplemental column support. We installed this system by attaching steel support beams to the floor joists and a sturdy base in the subfloor. The steel columns are adjusted to raise the floors to a level position. Quinn's new SmartJack system will provide a permanent solution to support issues!

Ross called Ayers after he noticed a horizontal crack and slight bowing occurring in the foundation wall in his basement. We sent a crew to his home for a free inspection to determine the best products for foundation repair. Our System Design Specialists recommended our PowerBrace solution. PowerBrace is a wall repair system that uses steel beams that secure to the joists above the foundation wall. This solution offers revolutionary support and even has the potential to straighten the wall to its original position. This system will keep the walls in place and can be tightened over time. Ross will no longer have to stress over his home's safety with the bowing wall corrected permanently!

This home in Rives Junction, MI had a very damp crawl space. With leaky walls, and three sump pumps that didn't work, the moisture had nowhere to go. Our team installed CleanSpace to seal off the crawl space from the leaky walls. This plastic liner is made of many layers making it durable, and it's also antimicrobial. The water from the walls runs along the drainage matting underneath the liner to the SuperSump we installed. This sump pump captures the water and then pumps it out of the space through a discharge line in the yard.

Chuck's Rives Junction, MI home was built in 1972. The original builder tried to cut every corner that they could. There was no sump pump, no drain tile, and the block foundation was never sealed properly. The home was experiencing waterproofing and structural issues. There was only one place in the corner of the basement where water crept in, it was a miracle that the home wasn't a swimming pool. Chuck called Ayers for an inspection, and we determined that he would need WaterGuard, CleanSpace Wall System, and TripleSafe sump pump to address the waterproofing needs.

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. 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. 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.
