Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

This basement had quite a few issues. Mold was one issue. The major issue, which caused the first, was water entering the space, mainly through wall cracks. In a small area, a little water feels like a really big issue and a large amount of water means real trouble. This homeowner took the wind right out of those worries with a perimeter drainage system called WaterGuard. We installed this system right on the footing of the home by removing a small amount of concrete around the base of the wall. The drain is put in place and the concrete is replaced aside from the small gap seen along the perimeter. We also added a sump pump to direct the water to for removal from the home. The sump pump has an airtight lid, floor drain, and an alarm to alert the homeowner if the pump fails or is not keeping up. Finally, we installed a SaniDry XP dehumidifier to help keep water vapors down and prevent musty smells in the basement.

Patricia's very old farmhouse needed some work so she called our team. We encapsulated part of the space with CleanSpace. CleanSpace is an uninterrupted vapor barrier that is applied to the walls and floor of your crawl space. It restricts all moisture, outside air, and pests from entering your crawl space. This system creates an energy-efficient crawl space, and it also gives your crawl space a clean finish.  

Greg's block foundation was cracking, causing the blocks to shift and break. After calling Ayers for a professional solution, we recommended our CleanSpace wall system. CleanSpace is a durable, white plastic liner that prevents water vapor from entering through these cracks in the walls. Not only will the space brighten substantially, he won't have to worry about water seeping through. The liner drains any leaks from the wall into a drainage system. Greg's basement appears more attractive and has protection from future wall moisture!

Leslie worried the cracks in her foundation walls would grow and deepen in the future. She didn't want structural damage to her home, so she researched and called Ayers for help. We sent a team of experts to her house, and they installed the PowerBrace repair system to secure the wall and prevent further damage. The PowerBrace system connects steel beams to joists above the wall with steel brackets. Once everything is in place and tightened, the wall will be stabilized to the desired position. Leslie is relieved her wall is supported now!

Nichole grew tired of cleaning up water in her basement and started looking for a permanent solution. She contacted us at Ayers Basement Systems, resulting in a home inspection. Our crew determined the leaks were coming from cracks in the foundation, and an internal drain should be implemented. Nichole opted for the WaterGuard system, which sits below the basement floor and above the home footing, meaning it is out of the mud zone and won't get clogged. After installing the drain, any water that may leak through the foundation will be caught by the drain and funneled out of the home!
