Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Phil's joists in his crawl space were being ruined by water damage. He called our team because he was worried about future settlement issues. Our team installed SmartJack, a system produced to halt your sagging floors. Floors above crawl spaces are vulnerable due to the moisture and soils in your crawl space. The Smart Jack system is a permanent fix and it uses steel columns, threaded rods and a solid base to address any issues your crawl space may introduce to your floors. Installing this system usually takes less than a day and it provides immediate stabilization.

Bill has lived in his house since 2018 and the walkway leading up to the front door is uneven, becoming a major hazard. He called Ayers for an inspection, and our crew determined that a combination of PolyLevel and NexusPro would be the perfect solution for Bill’s home. 

The PolyLevel system is used to repair sinking concrete by drilling minuscule holes into the slab and filling them with foam. The foam raises the slab and fortifies it to make it last even longer. NexusPro is a sealant that fills the cracks in the concrete. It is extremely withstanding to harsh weather so it will remain intact for years.

Bill was thrilled with the service provided by Ayers. He is excited to have a more aesthetically pleasing safer home for him and his family. 

Mervin noticed water leaking into his basement after the last storm and knew there was an issue with his sump pump. After researching his options, he called Ayers to hear about our waterproofing solutions. We sent a team of experts to his home who evaluated the situation and replaced the old pump with TripleSafe. Pump failure is common, and TripleSafe aims to eliminate it by including backup and battery-powered options. Mervin is relieved to have a dry basement again!

An effort to finished this basement in Osceola, IN turned into adding in a basement bedroom. Unfortunately, the bedroom wouldn’t be too inviting the way it was. The only window was a small rectangular block high on the wall. To make the room feel more homelike and less “basementy”, not to mention meeting safety codes, the owner had decided to upgrade that rectangle to an egress window and well.

First, the crew removed the original window and filled in the hole with block wall material. Then came the installation of the egress. An egress window will benefit this basement in more than just adding light; the well and window are made of inorganic plastic material so they won’t erode or leak. The comparison between the before and after photos shows just how much of an effect a one-day installation can have for a basement.

This customer had recently finished the basement in their home. It was being used as an office space and bedroom. Unfortunately, those submarine style windows were making it unsafe. According to building codes, when using your basement as a living space, it is a requirement to have an additional exit aside from the entrance. Egress windows are the solution! They not only provide a large and safe exit, but they also allow additional light in the space, making it more lively.
