Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Aligning Walls in Charlotte

Jon needed help managing moisture in his home. He contacted Ayers and allowed our resident foreman Evan inspect the area. Evan saw that the basement walls were out of alignment so he added PowerBrace brackets to correct the walls. He also installed a new TripleSafe sump pump and treated the area with a dehumidifier.

PowerBrace

PowerBrace is a foundation repair system created to secure basement walls in place. Outside pressures can cause your basement walls to crack or tilt, but this foundation repair system counteracts these pressures by keeping the basement walls in place. Over time, the system can be tightened to not only secure the walls in place, but to also straighten them.

TripleSafe

TripleSafe is a trusted sump pump at Ayers due to its three levels of security. The first level is a powerful motor that has a high water capacity. The second level of security is a reserve motor that activates if the water surpasses a certain level on the initial motor. The third level of security is a backup battery that only activates if the home losses power.

Dehumidifier

Moisture in the air is a major risk to the home. Moisture can invite micro-organisms into the home that consume organic materials like the wood found in most homes' Support works. This process weakens the home's integrity risking the safety of the home. Moisture also invites mold spores that can risk the occupants' health directly as well as indirectly.
