Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Marlene was excited to move into her home until she noticed the basement windows wouldn't open. She knew she needed this fixed, so she called Ayers. A crew of experts visited her house and suggested installing an egress window. When it comes to basement safety, egress windows offer exit steps for easy evacuation and durability to withstand pressure from heavy rocks and soil. Marleen is happy to have her peace of mind back!

It’s clear to see in the first image that something’s just not right with these walls...they’re bowing! Bowed walls are often the result of hydrostatic pressure. As water saturates the backfill soil surrounding the foundation, the water exerts pressure on the foundation walls. Installing the PowerBrace system in this home was the best solution for combating the hydrostatic pressure and straightening these walls over time. 12 corrosion-resistant, zinc beams were carefully reinforced to the floor joists to distribute the load evenly preventing damage to the floor system above it. These beams can be tightened over time to continue to stabilize the walls, putting them back in their place.

Thomas and Becky called our team because of their damp crawl space. In order to prevent water intrusion, we installed CleanSpace. CleanSpace is a plastic sheet material used as a vapor barrier to restrict 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.

Thomas and Becky called our team because of their damp crawl space. In order to prevent water intrusion, we insulated their rim joists. Insulating rim joists seals off all cracks that exist around them. Now air and water vapor can no longer seep through those cracks.

Shannon realized her old sump pump was failing, causing water to leak on the floor, so she called Ayers for help. Our crew visited her home to evaluate and recommend a solution. They determined the TripleSafe sump pump system would be the best option for preventing failure. TripleSafe includes primary, backup, and battery-powered pumps in case of emergencies. Shannon is happy to have a working sump pump!
