Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Mike realized the concrete slabs outside his home were cracked and uneven. He didn't want anyone to hurt themselves on the obstacle, so he called Ayers for help. Our team stopped by his house to recommend a solution. They suggested PolyLevel, a concrete lifting and leveling system where polymer foam is injected into voids underneath concrete slabs, expanding and raising the concrete. Mike is happy to have nice and level concrete outside his home!

The homeowner noticed uneven floors in their Lansing home and was unsure whether it was due to sagging or sloping. The Ayers team inspected the crawlspace, which had a 4-foot height and a decent-sized entry. They identified that the floors needed reinforcement to stabilize the structure. The team installed supports in the crawlspace to level the floors, providing a permanent solution to the homeowner's concerns about the unevenness. This approach helped improve the stability of the home and ensured the floors were secure.

This homeowner's decision to upgrade to the best sump pump on the market was necessary to keep water away from the items stored in the basement. The advantages of using the TripleSafe sump pump include having three separate pumps that are activated at different times (depending on the water level) and the addition of the battery backup, which automatically turns on in the event of a power outage.

This customer first called us years ago in need of a sump pump. They decided to go with another company at that time, but we heard from them again a few months ago. They didn't like the sump pump the other company had installed and were concerned that it wasn't working, putting their finished basement in danger.

We installed a TripleSafe sump pump to ensure that any incoming water would quickly be discharged, and upgraded the electrical panel so that the pump didn't interfere with the rest of the house.

Moisture and humidity were both regular visitors to this Mason, MI crawl space. Not only was the moist, humid air threatening the foundation with mold growth, the air that enters into the crawl space was also traveling throughout the home. By adding insulation and an encapsulation, the crew was able to plug up the air leaks and simultaneously improve the quality of the air inside of the home. The plastic liner used for the encapsulation in the after photo is the CleanSpace vapor barrier.   While CleanSpace protects the crawl space from any moisture that may try to rise from the crawl space floor, the SilverGlo Wall panels are the last line of defense against air flowing between cracks in the brick walls. The bright silver material reflects heat back to the source, improving the energy efficiency of the home, as well. Lastly, the crew filled in the last remaining gaps that weren’t covered by either the SilveGlo insulation or CleanSpace encapsulation. The foundation had begun to settle and cause a shift between the crawl space rim and the floor joists above. Using Froth Pack (the white spray in the after photo), the crew gave the last of the leaks a waterproof foam seal. With a full crawl space system working together, moist air won't be a problem in this crawl space again.
