Our Basement Waterproofing System
We use a patented interior basement waterproofing system that permanently protects the space from mold and rot. A drainage channel is installed along the perimeter of the basement. The channel sits below the concrete floor and collects any entering water. The water is channeled to a sump pump which pumps it out and away from your home. An energy-efficient basement dehumidifier is also installed to keep the relative humidity low enough to prevent mold growth. The entire system is hidden from view but keeps your basement dry.
Crawl Space Encapsulation
Not all homes have a basement, but Ayers Basement Systems also works in crawl spaces. We encapsulate the entire crawl space with a insulating matting and thick, vinyl vapor barrier. The crawl space vents are sealed and a new entryway is added. The encapsulation keeps water and moisture out of the space. A specially designed crawl space dehumidifier and sump pump is added. The whole system keeps the the space dry and mold free. It also prevents cold floors over the crawl space.
Foundation Repair & Concrete Leveling
Foundation problems need to be quick and professionally fixed. Ayers Basement Systems repairs and restores foundation and have successfully helped hundreds of homeowners and businesses throughout Michigan & Indiana, including in Gaylord. We have the right tools for your particular foundation issue.
We can fix:
- foundation wall cracks
- Separating floors
- Soil issues
- bowing walls
- Sunken concrete slabs
Professional Foundation Repair
We fix settling foundations using foundation piers that are drilled down to load bearing soil. The different piering systems include: helical piers, push piers, slab piers and helical deck piers. For bowing basement walls we offer wall anchors, wall stabilization systems and sprayed concrete. If you have a sagging floor over your crawl space our installing support jacks solve the problem. Whatever particular foundation issue you are facing we have a solution.
Updated Mudjacking Techniques
We can lift and level sunken concrete slabs around your home. This means we can fix sunken and cracked sidewalks, driveways, pool decks, garages and more. To fix sunken concrete we use and updated form of mudjacking. Traditionally mudjacking (aka slab jacking) requires a series of holes to be drilled in the concrete slab. A thick, pressurized mudslurry is pumped under the slab through the holes. The pressurized mudslurry lifts the concrete back to its original postion. We do the same thing but use PolyLEVEL, an expansive polyurethane foam, rather than mudslurry. PolyLEVEL is superior because: it is sprayed through much smaller holes, expands to fill the space, is much lighter (less stress on underlying soil) and cures in hours rather than days. If you need concrete lifting and leveling services in Gaylord, we are the trusted expert.
A new homeowner in Gaylord, MI, was eager to ensure their recently purchased home would stay safe from moisture and structural problems, but they had no experience with crawl spaces. The small, dirt-floor crawl space, covered with plastic sheeting, left them uncertain about what must be done to protect their investment. Concerns about moisture and air quality, they contacted Ayers for guidance and a solution.
System Design Specialist Robert M. recommended a full encapsulation of the crawl space, starting with a CleanSpace vapor barrier to prevent moisture from entering. We installed Rim Joist Insulation and FoamMax Crawl Space Insulation to improve energy efficiency and structural integrity, transforming the space into a conditioned, insulated environment. We added a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to protect the home further, ensuring low humidity and healthy air quality.
Throughout the process, we educated the homeowner about their crawl space, giving them the knowledge to maintain it and recognize early signs of potential issues. Now, with the crawl space sealed and protected, the homeowner can enjoy peace of mind, knowing their new home is safe, healthy, and secure for years to come.
Karen's feet are always cold during the winter months, and she tried to fix the problem several times by installing new carpeting and buying warmer, thicker socks, but nothing seemed to work. After researching online, she decided to call Ayers for some professional help. We sent a crew of professionals to her home to assess the situation and provide a solution. They recommended installing the CleanSpace vapor barrier, which is designed to block out moisture and reduce ventilation that leads to cold floors and mold growth. CleanSpace is made of antimicrobial-lined material and applied uninterruptedly to the crawl space floors and walls. Karen is happy with her warm floors and warm feet!
Theresa and Don have been residents to their home for 10 years and since they moved in they have had on and off troubles. They use their crawlspace quite often and the odors are just getting worse. They decided to get everything taken care of with our CleanSpace, SilverGlo, and SaniDry system. Each product helps keep their crawlspace completely dry ridding the area of moisture!
