Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

The floor in this 400 square foot garage was sinking - well, parts of it were, and not all at the same depth. We used PolyLEVEL to restore the concrete slab floor to the proper height, and to make sure that all parts of the slab were at the SAME height.

Egress windows are an integral part of a finished basement, particularly if you want to use the space as a bedroom or other living space. By having windows installed by a basement company, you can be sure that they are water-tight and code-compliant.

This customer callled us becuase they noticed that their foundation wall was bowing and water was leaking through the cracks. You can see from the before picture that the bowing wall was pushing on the pipes and if this problem was not fixed then the pipes would burts. 

We came to the rescue and installed a GeoLock Channel Anchor System. The GeoLock Channel Anchor System consists of steel rods stabilized in solid soil in the yard. The rods are connected to a steel plate in the ground and the channel anchor that is inside the foundation wall. The channel anchor is secured to the floor, as well as the rod in the ground, for extra strength. This stops the inward movement of the wall and could return the wall to its original position.

Kathleen noticed small cracks in her block foundation walls. She realized her pump was being overworked. She contacted Ayers and we sent our Foreman Bruce to examine the issue. Bruce realized the home's drainage system was not strong enough so Bruce installed a WaterGruard drain system.

The WaterGuard system works with the sump pump to direct extra water away from the home. The outlet is underground and leads the water safely away from the home. The system is installed under the foundational floor and is completely out of sight inside and outside of the home.

After a home inspector pointed out that the crawl space in this home needed a new beam, the owners decided to give us – the crawl space experts – a call. They weren’t completely unaware. They had noticed that one of the rooms above was sloping downwards.

To fix this problem and hold together the structural integrity of the home, the crew used 4 different SmartJacks. By placing the jacks underneath the floor joists - the crawl space ceiling- - and adjusting them to the proper height, the SmartJacks were able to raise the foundation back to its original and stable level without replacing the beam. SmartJacks can support over 60,000 pounds so this repair is a permanent solution.
