Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Kim and John were concerned about the damage water in their crawl space could do, once they noticed some coming in from hairline cracks in the wall. Their crawl space was small, but after meeting with one of our system design specialists, they knew that they needed to give the issue their attention.

Our team’s first step was to repair the cracks in the wall to prevent water from seeping in. Using FlexiSpan, a three-step process using flexible sealant, foam, and an impermeable membrane, the cracks were fixed. The next step was to encapsulate the space to stop water vapor from the floor and water that may come in at other points in the future.

A specially engineered multi-layered liner, CleanSpace, was also fixed to the walls in the crawl space. This white liner not only brightens up the space, but it’s durable and provides a vapor barrier, keeping the space clean and dry.

Windows can give a basement a more homey and comfortable look while brightening up the space. But it's not all fun and games...poorly installed windows can lead to huge air leakages causing bills to skyrocket, as well as potential future water problems.

We installed a window for homeowners in Marshall, MI that is energy efficient and rot and mildew-resistant. It will keep warm air in in the winter and cool air in in the summer, something we all know is necessary for the weather conditions we get here in Michigan. Nothing like a little natural light to quickly improve a basement and make it more inviting! 

A company's sidewalk was unenven and craking in front of their building. So they called our team and we installed PolyLevel, a system that fixes settlement issues in concrete slabs. A polyurethane foam that expands and has a high density is used in order to raise the concrete. The process is quite simple and is done by drilling small holes into the concrete and then inserting the foam into the holes. Also, the PolyLevel system is waterproof and long-lasting. 

The customer experienced basement flooding and we helped the family waterproof their semi-finished basement. We installed our complete WaterGuard perimeter drainage system and a TripleSafe sump pump. The family wanted to complete the process of finishing their newly waterproofed basement. They opted for our ThermalDry Elite Plank Flooring system giving this family peace of mind that their nice flooring will not be ruined by water damage.

Water is entering Scott’s basement through his basement floor. He does not have a working sump so he called our team to help waterproof his basement. We installed TripleSafe and SaniDry and a few other systems to fully waterproof his basement. TripleSafe is a sump pump system that is battery powered which will allow Scott to not worry about his basement flooding during power outages. The SaniDry XP Basement Dehumidifier never needs to be emptied because the water drains automatically. Also, it is ten times more powerful than typical dehumidifiers. Installing these pieces will keep Scott’s basement dry no matter what weather his house encounters.
