Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Six years ago Jess L. had concrete lifted at the meeting point between his garage and driveway. Recently he noticed that the concrete had settled about an inch around his garage door which made closing the door very difficult. We lifted the settled concrete in the garage/driveway intersection using our PolyLevel Injection. This is a great alternative to replacing cracked or settled concrete. This high-density foam fills any voids in soil particles, is waterproof and lightweight, and does not take long to cure.

Our concrete leveling specialist also recommended that Jess have the existing downspout extended to the yard to prevent water from washing out soil below the garage and driveway concrete which could lead to further settling. 

Ricardo was concerned about his damp, dirt floor crawl space. He knew a dirt floor wasn't keeping any water moisture out, so he researched his options and called Ayers for assistance. Our specialists visited his home, inspected the space, and recommended installing CleanSpace, an antimicrobial-lined vapor barrier. CleanSpace is applied uninterruptedly to the crawl space floors and walls to prevent moisture entry and is also designed to be walked and crawled on. Ricardo loves the new look of his crawl space!

Chris K. from Leslie, MI had two inches of water in his basement during the rain before calling us. He needed a solution, and we had one. 

We installed our patented WaterGuard French drain system. WaterGuard rests below the basement floor and above the foundation footing, collecting water that seeps into the basement from the walls. Once this water is in the drain, it is then redirected to the sump pump to be pumped up and out of the home.

A seemingly crumbling crawl space was making our customers in Leslie, MI uneasy. The stone walls were loose, and the area was wet and dirty. Ayers crew came in and carried out tuck point on the wall to keep any loose stones from moving any further. Then, a SuperSump was installed to keep the crawl space dry. This SuperSump can pump up to 2200 gallons of water out of the basement per hour, and has a backup pump installed for extra protection. Lastly, cleanspace was added to the crawl space to act as a vapor barrier. This white lining, shown in the after picture, works to keep moisture out of the house and is mold and pest resistant, and helped to hold the stones in place. 

Our CleanSpace system has been used in all sorts of crawl spaces for a variety of different problems. This time around the owners asked for the encapsulation to be installed in a crawl space that was typically dry beside a little moisture during the spring. Their main reason for asking was to keep out the occasional critters that would show up. As you can see in the before photo, the crawl space was made up of a dirt floor and fieldstone walls. Both of these foundations offered easy access for critters to enter. The CleanSpace system in the after photo is attached tightly to both the walls and floor, eliminating the possibility of any future crawling visitors. The final installation product was the ultra reliable TripleSafe sump pump. With two different backup pumps in the sump, water will never threaten this Leslie, MI home again.
