Photo Album: ShotCrete Seals Kalamazoo, MI Basement

Verbina called Ayers because her basement had cracks throughout all the walls, constantly letting dirt inside. Our crew came out for an inspection and determined Verbena would need ShotCrete to seal off her foundation. Verbina was thrilled with the work completed by Ayers Basement Systems and our crews. She was so happy she doesn’t have to deal with the dirt and dust in the basement anymore and can actually use it.

Unwanted Dirt in the Basement

The basement had cracks throughout all the walls, constantly letting dirt inside. The home was built in 1956 and was vacant for a few years.

ShotCrete Before

Metal bars are secured into the existing walls to create more structure. Shotcrete is a sprayable concrete that stabilizes basement walls and fills any holes that let in unwanted dirt, water, or air.

ShotCrete After

It's applied though a high-pressure hose. The extra air propelling the concrete out is what makes the shotcrete able to be applied to vertical and sloping surfaces.
