Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Carol realized there were deep cracks in her basement walls and didn't want them caving in. She called Ayers and we sent a team of experts to her home to examine the issue. They recommended the Supportworks GeoLock Wall Anchor System. These are heavy-duty, galvanized earth anchors designed to be placed in solid, undisturbed soil. The steel rod connecting the ground anchor to the wall anchor provides clamping pressure to stabilize the wall. Carol loves the look of her new basement wall!

We were originally contacted by Falcon for a service we did not provide but she was really keen on concrete leveling, which we did provide. She had a walkway that had some settling and wanted it lifted and leveled. PolyLevel is a lightweight foam that won't put pressure on the already unstable soil beneath the concrete. It is also waterproof and stable so it won't wash away or react with the soil. The whole process, including the curing time of the foam, is less than an hour so it is not inconvenient to the homeowner!

One look at the before picture of this crawl space, and you likely wouldn’t want to step foot in it. It’s cold, dark, and even worse—damp. The after picture shows the dramatic transformation of the space after the addition of SilverGlo insulation and a CleanSpace crawl space liner. SilverGlo comes in panels, and is manufactured with graphite particles, which makes it shiny. This isn’t just for looks, though; these particles resist heat conduction and reflect heat back into the crawl space.

CleanSpace, unlike other crawl space liners, is extremely thick and durable. Installed on the floor and even the walls of the crawl space seals of the home from the earth, keeping moisture out. Eliminating moisture in the crawl space not only keeps it dry, but prevents mold from growing, and keeps the air clean.

This dramatic transformation not only visibly brightens the space, but provides a barrier to moisture and mold, and keeps the space warm and energy efficient.

Mary noticed her kitchen floor was slanted and worried about the damage this could cause, so she called Ayers to learn about our foundation solutions. We sent our professionals to her home to evaluate and recommended installing the SmartJacks supplemental support system. SmartJacks are hot-dipped in galvanized steel and zinc plated, making them far sturdier than store-bought floor jacks. As the house moves and shifts, the jacks can be adjusted to fit the need. Mary loves the longevity of her new system!

Larry D. called because he had a floor that was sagging about 3/4”. The glass wall located in the bathroom above the floor was exerting too much pressure causing the floor to sag.

In order to support the sagging floor, we installed the effective SmartJack stabilizer system. This installation of this system starts by taking out a cube of soil in the ground and filling it with concrete or crushed stone. A structural footing is then placed in the fill to hold a galvanized steel column that is then connected to the girder above to stabilize the floor and potentially lift it back to its original position.
