Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

This customer was getting ready to try and sell his home, but he knew that the small crack in his basement wall would make it difficult. Another company claimed to have solved the problem using a simple seal, but whenever it rained or he washed his deck, the crack would still leak. Knowing how troublesome small leaks like these can be during a sale, our system design specialist took a trip to Eaton Rapids to offer the owner a permanent solution.

Using our FlexiSpan system, a two-layer polymer, the crew was able to seal this crack and prevent it from being noticed. The process was pretty simple. To start, the crew excavated part of the basement floor directly under where the leak to install a drainage system. You can the system in the after photo (the crew replaced the concrete after the photo was taken). Next, the first layer of polymer was put into the crack to create a flexible seal. This layer will stop almost all water from entering into the basement. Lastly, the second layer of polymer was put over this section of the wall to provide a drainage route for any water that is strong enough to penetrate the first seal. The moisture will flow behind the drainage layer and into the drainage system for discharge. With a permanent solution to his leakage issue, this house is now ready for the market.

This customer contacted us because the rooms above his crawl space were cold and so he wanted to insulate the crawl space to help this problem. By insulating the crawl space it will also help to reduce energy costs in the future. With the SilverGlo insulation, we also installed our CleanSpace system to encapsulate the crawl space so no water or other outside elements can get in. 

The homeowner wanted their crawl space to be sealed off and waterproofed. With heacy rain, they got water in their crawl space and didn't want that to happen again.We installed drainage matting to allow the movement and drainage of water uner the CleanSpace liner. We also installed the CleanSpace Liner which is a thick durable liner that looks like a pool liner. This liner keeps water out of the crawl space as well as mold and odors.

Matt had a bowing wall in his basement where pipes are and was worried they would bust from the pressure. We installed GeoLock Wall Anchors to halt further movement in the wall. These anchors are made of steel and work by extending from your wall to the stable, hard packed soil beyond your home. GeoLock Wall anchors are installed with minimal disruption to your lawn, and they won't damage the interior of your basement or take up usable space.

Basement floors are often made up of wood sub-floors. The problem with wood is if something were to start leaking in your basement, you’re in big trouble. They are easily ruined by water and are the perfect surface for mold growth.

We installed our ThermalDry flooring system, a system made with the only plastic, all inorganic subfloor in the world. It won’t be ruined by water, vapor can’t pass through, and mold won’t grow on it. There are a variety of finishes to choose from so you don’t have to compromise style for functionality.
