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.

Robert G. contacted us because he was looking to have his sidewalks and driveway leveled. They had sunk about 3-4 inches due to a weak soil issue below the slabs, but luckily our team of experts knew the perfect solution.
We used the PolyLevel system to raise and level out the uneven slabs. We started by drilling small, penny-sized holes into the concrete. The holes were then injected with a specialized polymer material that expanded to immediately lift the slabs. This system used dense and lightweight polymers level out the slabs and deal with the weak soils below that were no longer strong enough to hold the concrete in place. To fill in any cracks or gaps between the slabs, we used the NexusPro Joint Sealant that seals off the gaps and prevents them from expanding over time.

Brian and Carla recently noticed their poured concrete foundation was letting water into the basement. The problem would typically show up after long rains. One of the bright spots was that the water only showed up in the half of the basement that was unfinished. So when our system design specialist visited Brian and Carla, he proposed a solution that would waterproof only the affected area. The crew laid a perimeter drainage system, WaterGuard, around the half side of the leaking basement. With a drainage system to catch any water that flowed through the foundation in place, they moved onto installing a sump pump system. The SuperSump is one of our more powerful sumps and is capable of pushing out over 2,000 gallons of water per hour. The water then travels through the sump discharge line to a lawnscape outlet in the yard. Along the way, the water will pass by an IceGuard protective shield that will expel the water if the lines freeze over. Brian and Carla now have a fully protected basement.
Larry had a finished basement that started to develop a wet area. A large puddle was forming consistently in an space with drywall and carpet. Not good. Larry started cutting away drywall and pulling up the carpet and found that a small amount of mold was beginning to develop. He needed the wet area to be waterproofed while the damage was minimal.
Fortunately, we had a solution for him for that would impact only a very small area of the finished basement and would be relatively simple. We pulled away the drywall over the impacted wall cavity to reveal the foundation wall crack that was leaking. We then injected the crack with a sealant as a primary defense. Next, came the backup defense because sealants are not generally a reliable fix over time, although they can help. A small area of concrete at the base of the wall beneath the crack was excavated and a drywell about 3-5 gallons in size was dug out. We then filled the drywell with stone and replaced the concrete on top all except for a small gap. This allows any incoming water to run down the wall and into the drywell beneath the foundation. To keep the finished basement from being impacted by water, the crack is covered with our durable mold and mildew-resistant CleanSpace material. Between the CleanSpace and the wall, a foam layer provides a space for the water to flow freely. The crack is permanently waterproofed. Behind the finished walls, Larry will never notice the crack again and any leaks will go unnoticed. He can rest easy knowing that his finished basement will be free of puddles in the future, at least from this pesky crack.
Maria H. of South Bend, IN has a crawlspace that was experiencing moisture. The walls are cement block and the height of the crawlspace is 3 feet. The home was made in the early 1900's and has a dirt floor and it has a smelly musty odor. This said, Maria called us.
To remedy this issue, we installed one of our favorite products: the CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system. CleanSpace is a 20mm thick plastic lining that completely seals off the crawl space from the surrounding elements. Water, dirt, moisture, and cold air do not stand a chance at getting in with this system. As a bonus, CleanSpace is made with anti-microbial properties that prevent mold growth.
Tisha M. of South Bend, IN has a home that was experiencing some water damage issues from a flood last summer. The home was built in the 1940's with cement block. There were cracks in the walls causing the basement to be flooded to the main floor. This said, Tisha gave us a call.
Our solution? BrightWall. BrightWall basement wall panels are white panels made of a rigid plastic that is completely waterproof and washable. These panels also provide a vapor barrier for the basement that blocks out water vapor and humidity.
Lan H. of South Bend, IN wanted to make sure her basement was water tight before she had it finished off and added a recreation room. This being said, she called us.
Finding small cracks in the walls, we decided the best waterproofing solution would be our FlexiSpan polyurethane sealant. FlexiSpan is 100% waterproof and is flexible enough to stretch with the natural movement of the foundation wall and keep being waterproof.
With this installment, Lan is ready to move on with her project!
Rick F. of Mishawaka, MI did not see any water in his crawl space but it was very humid before he gave us a call. This humidity is encouraging mold growth so he wanted to figure out why it is so humid and see if it could be resolved.
The answer is yes -- it could be resolved. We installed our SaniDry CX crawl space dehumidifier. The SaniDry CX is small and compact but very powerful, being able to collect up to 109 pints of water without its collection tray having to be emptied. This makes for an efficient way to rid crawl spaces of unwanted moisture -- and fast.
Todd P. of Mishawaka, MI was having foundation wall issues before he gave us a call. One of his foundation walls was cracked and tipping, creating a serious safety problem for Todd and his family.
Our solution? The PowerBrace foundation wall support system. PowerBrace stabilizes tilting, bowing, or buckling basement walls. The system uses steel I-beams that secure to the joists above the wall, offering a true, maximum support for the most important walls in your home. PowerBrace can also be installed with an adjustment/tightening kit that can be used to eventually bring the foundation wall back to its original state.
Stacie A. of South Bend, IL had water leaking into her basement from small, hairline cracks in the foundation wall. Because of the damage that can be caused by water being in a basement, Stacie reached out to us.
Our solution? FlexiSpan polyurethane crack sealant. FlexiSpan -- like expected with its title -- is very flexible and will move with the natural shifting of the basement wall. This will ensure a waterproof seal that will out live the home itself!
Kim P. of South Bend, IL has a home that was built in the 1920s out of block foundation. Over the years, water has started to get in through the cracks in the blocks, allowing for a wet basement floor, moisture in the air, and a musty odor. Thus, Kim gave us a call.
We remedied this issue by installing a favorite duo of ours: the SuperSump premier sump pump and the WaterGuard French drain system. The SuperSump is a sump pump specifically designed to keep your basement dry for long periods of time. Capable of pumping 2,220 gallons of water per hour, it is suitable for heavy water intrusion.
The WaterGuard drain rests beneath the basement floor but above the foundation footing, collecting water that seeps into the basement from the walls. Once this water is collected, it is redirected to the sump pump, the SuperSump, to be pumped up and out of the home.
This family called because for over a year every time there was a heavy rain or the snow melted, the egress windows in the basement would leak. The standing water was causing a musty smell and they didn't want mold to start growing. They also told us they were only planning on living in the house for another 5 years so it was a good idea to start fixing things to increase the resale value.
Our team of experts were able to install a new egress window that was properly sealed so that there wouldn't be anymore water making it inside. The new window can also help to keep the basement warmer in the winter and reduce energy costs.
Our customer had a leaking basement window. Unfortunately, the window well would fill up with water, leak into the basement, and then water builds up in the basement. We installed our egress basement window. Egress windows are sealed keeping moisture and water out. The windows are energy efficient and resistant to rot and mildew.
Tracey began noticing signs that her foundation was beginning to settle. At the time she did not realize that is what the signs meant. Her floor was sagging, the doors sticking, and stair step cracks on the outside of the home. Settlement can happen for various reasons including the drying and shrinking of soil and the wetting and softening of soil.
Our team of experts decided to install piers for Tracey. Piers are used to support the weight of the home and transfer the weight to more competent soils capable of supporting the home. These piers provide the greatest chance to lift the home back to its original position, is a quick installation, and requires minimal disturbance to Tracey and her family.
Marka L. of South Bend, IN had an issue with leaking water in her basement after heavy rains. The home was built in 1942 and it was starting to show.
Our professional team had a solution for the water. We installed a Triple Safe sump pump to replace the existing one. The Triple Safe sump pump has three sump pumps in one. The first pump will do most of the pumping effectively. The second pump will be there in case the first one fails. And the third pump is designed using batteries so it will be there for you if the power goes out.
We also installed our WaterGuard system which is a long lasting interior perimeter basement waterproofing system. WaterGuard sits on top of the footing along the perimeter of your basement and drains the water that is leaking from up above.
A SaniDry XP dehumidifier was also installed in the basement. The SaniDry XP is designed to keep the air dry and clean and reduces the risk of mold growth. This dehumidifier removes 10 times the amount of water from the air as compared to a typical dehumidifier while using the same energy to run. The water also drains from the unit automatically so there is no need to empty it like a typical dehumidifier.
Lastly, our team installed BrightWall basement wall panels. BrightWall panels are designed to direct the leaking water down into the WaterGuard perimeter drain lines and then that water will be carried to the TripleSafe sump pump effectively waterproofing your basement! The BrightWall panels don't only waterproof your basement, they transform your damp ugly basement walls into bright, beautiful walls that never need painting or other maintenance!
After installing all of these waterproofing systems our team effectively turned this damp, ugly basement into a thing of beauty!

The homeowners finised basement is now clean and dry thanks to the WaterGuard interior perimeter drainage system!
A customer from South Bend, Indiana had problems with water in their basement. They needed our help so they gave us a call. We drove to the house and decided to install a TripleSafe Sump Pump along with many other things. TripleSafe is a sump pump with three different pumps in one liner. The first being the 1/3 hp zoeller pump which does most of the pumping and is placed at the bottom of the liner. The second is the 1/2 hp zoeller that is placed slightly higher than the first. This pump is more powerful but will only be turned on when needed. The final pump is the battery-operated UltraSump DC which is used in case of a power outage, this pump can pump up to 24,000 gallons of water. Now this homeowner know that they will not have to worry about a wet basement ever again.
A customer from Granger, Indiana had some unlevel steps leading to her front door that she wanted to fix. She knew that we were the right people for the job so she gave us a call. We drove to her property and decided that PolyLevel would be perfect for her home. PolyLevel worked to raise and level out the concrete slabs while dealing with the weak soils below that were no longer able to hold the weight of the home above. We drilled multiple small holes into the concrete slabs in order to inject them with a polymer material that expanded to lift and level out the concrete. Once injected, the system only needed about 15 minutes to fully cure and the slabs were then stabilized and lifted to their proper level, and stronger than ever before. Now, this homeowner will not have to worry about this ever again.
Imagine a small boat is sinking, and one person in the boat is scooping out the water with a bucket however he is dumping the water right back in the boat... he isn't really helping, is he? Well, that is what you're doing with your basement when you don't lead the water from your basement far enough from the home. Luckily, at Ayers, we can fix that without having a long pipe run across your lawn. We can do this with the LawnScape Outlet. This is a water dispersion outlet that is connected to a pipe placed underneath the lawn to allow any water collected in the gutters to be dispersed away from the walls of the home. This LawnScape outlet is removable as well, this is to empty out any collected leaves or other debris that may be blocking water from exiting. This is a great discrete replacement for the rain chute that covers up part of the lawn. Also, the LawnScape Outlet won't be a tripping or mowing hazard. Now the water from your basement will not re-enter your basement.

When you first notice water leakage in your basement or crawl space, there a few things that you might do: you might panic, maybe you try to fix it yourself, or perhaps you will call an expert who specializes in these types of situations. Here at Ayers, we specialize in basement waterproofing, and we travel all throughout Michigan and even through parts of Indiana. We can assure you that if you want the best long-term solution to keeping your basement dry, Ayers is the place to call.
We received a call from a homeowner in South Bend, IN saying that water was beginning to leak into her basement. After going out for our free inspection, it was clear that her basement needed to be waterproofed in order to fix the issue, but also prevent it from happening again in the future. First and foremost, she needed a new sump pump, and luckily for her, we have the TripleSafe Sump Pump. TripleSafe is top-of-the-line when it comes to sump pumps. It has three sump pumps that fit all into one liner, and this becomes important because three pumps won’t become overwhelmed with higher pumping demands like a single pump system would. Also, if the power goes out in your home, the third pump serves as a battery-operated backup, meaning that it will take care of any business that needs to be handled until the power comes back on.
Another important piece that we installed in this home was our IceGuard Discharge Line System. This comes in handy throughout the winter months because the pipe that the sump pump in connected to can freeze up, leading it to be blocked with snow and ice. IceGuard is designed on the outside of the house and automatically removes any water from the outside wall in case the pipe freezes. We run into this issue a lot being in this region, but thanks to IceGuard, this homeowner will not fall victim to frozen pipes.
Too often we see homeowner try to take it upon themselves to waterproof their basements and crawlspaces.

With this crawlspace encapsulation system in place, Pam’s crawl space will forever be transformed.
Debra in South Bend, IN called us saying that moisture was starting to seep into her crawlspace through the walls. After going out for our free inspection, we noticed that there were a lot of cracks that had begun forming in the wall, and the bricks were beginning to shift inward. Luckily for Debra, we have multiple solutions for a situation like this. Debra decided to go with our SaniDry XP dehumidifier. The SaniDry XP Basement Air System is a powerful and effective dehumidifier that's designed to perform in extremely damp environments, like basements and crawlspaces. The SaniDry XP removes ten times the amount of water from the air as a typical dehumidifier, while using the same energy to run. The water drains from the unit automatically so there's no need to empty it like a conventional dehumidifier. An additional benefit to the SaniDry XP is that is has a built-in defrost system which is designed to operate down to 40F. Therefore, it will not freeze in basement and/or crawlspace conditions.
We also installed our CleanSpace liner in Debra’s crawlspace. This is a plastic liner that is designed to permanently keep away any moisture and air. It is placed completely over the walls and floor, creating a constant blockage to anything outside of it. Also, with anti-microbial protection called UltraFresh built right in, no mold or mildew will grow on the CleanSpace!
With the combination of the SaniDry XP and CleanSpace liner, moisture and mold stand no chance at getting into Debra’s basement and crawlspace.
Mike J., from South Bend, IN had uneven sidewalk leading up to his home. He became worried about the safety hazard this would pose to his parents when they frequently came to visit. He would often greet them in the driveway to ensure they didn’t trip on his sidewalk. Removing the concrete and re-pouring it hardly seemed like an option.
At a tradeshow near his hometown, we met Mike and he learned about Poly Level, a better option than concrete replacement. We sent one of our Concrete Leveling Specialists to his home and together we devised a plan to make his sidewalk level once again. After having estimates done by other local companies, Mike felt our solution was the most cost-efficient and effective proposal to the problem he faced. Our friend invited us back to his home and we used Poly Level to return his sidewalk to its original position.
With Poly Level being a waterproof solution, Mike was able to rest assured knowing our solution would help prevent future erosion and cracks, even in the toughest weather conditions. Since having his sidewalk leveled, Mark smiles again as his parents approach his home.
Pat & Wendy from South Bend, IN slowly watched their home’s addition begin to sink. One day while coming home from work Pat noticed a stair-step crack in one of the brick foundation walls. The couple became extremely frightened about their growing foundation problem and gave us a call.
Our expert System Design Specialists calculated a plan to lift our friend’s home addition back to its original position and permanently support its weight through customized approach using nine helical piers. These piers are long steel shafts, that are advanced deep into the ground to competent soil. The footing of the home sits on top of these shafts using a heavy-duty steel anchor. We installed these anchors by excavating soil from around the exterior of the home until we reached the footing. We advanced the helical piers from there creating a solid and permanent solution, in finishing the job we replaced the removed soil. With these piers in place, we have allowed Pat & Wendy’s addition to regain its stability.
Sheryl noticed that a spot in her kitchen was lower than the rest of the surrounding area. She knew her crawl space was under her kitchen, so she called us to see if we could identify the problem.

Kimbery had a small dirt floor crawl space that she luckily has not had any problems with. Encapsulating this space is a preventative measure so that Kimberly won't have to spend more money in the future on cleaning up mold and moisture damage in her space.
To encapsulate the space, our team installed CleanSpace, a vapor barrier to restrict all moisture, outside air, and pests from entering the crawl space. It is applied to the floors and walls creating that uninterrupted barrier to restrict air movement and control the temperature of the space. Controlling the temperature creates an energy-efficient crawl space and carefully placing the CleanSpace gives it a clean and refreshed look.
Kimberly won’t have to worry about the more expensive future problems she is at risk for and can enjoy a more finished look and lower energy bills right away.
Jim and Betty’s crawl space pillars were starting to deteriorate. The home inspector noticed and thought it was time for an upgrade. There was cracking starting upstairs and a dirt floor which can make crawl space moisture and foundation stabilization worse over time. To reinforce the deteriorating polls and stabilize the foundation, our team installed SmartJacks.
SmartJacks support sagging floor joists and beams. Floors above basements and crawl spaces are vulnerable due to the damp nature of the lowest floor. The SmartJack system is a permanent fix to these issues. It uses steel columns, threaded rods, and a solid base to address any problems your basement may have. Installing this system usually takes less than a day and it provides immediate stabilization.
This is both an immediate and permanent solution to Jim and Betty’s problem. They won't have to worry about any further cracking. The next step would be waterproofing with CleanSpace to prevent further deterioration.

As a preventative measure, she had our team come out to encapsulate the space and our team installed CleanSpace. CleanSpace is an uninterrupted vapor barrier designed to keep out any unwanted pests, moisture, and mold. This barrier restricts airflow and therefore makes controlling the temperature of the home much easier. CleanSpace is applied to the floors and walls and wrapped around pillars and piers carefully to ensure that the space looks clean and refreshed. Kimberly saved herself a lot of money by getting ahead of moisture.

The last piece of the system was a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier. The SaniDry Sedona is more powerful than any other dehumidifier and drains automatically so you don't have to worry about emptying the water yourself. It will control the humidity and make sure to stop mold growth, kill dust mites, and make your whole house healthier. Now Rose is through with all the installations and has a completed system in her home. She will be worry-free when it comes to thinking about having a waterproof home.
Phillip bought a 100 year old home about 2 years ago and is slowly working on renovating it. He recently finished the exterior and wants to start on the basement to finish it and get rid of the moisture. He noticed that the floors were starting to sag and he put up temporary jacks up to stabilize them. He wanted the floors and the home supported before he moved on to anything else so he gave us a call. We used SmartJacks to keep the floors from slopping even more and to lift the floors back to a level position. SmartJacks are attached to floor joists with steel brackets and then have a sturdy base at the floor. They are also adjustable so the home has a permanent solution to keep floors stable and level!
Nothing worse than having to hide not only unsightly repair work but also mask the smell of outside nature inside the home. For Chris, this was his reality till he called Ayers. Our foreman Evan Found slopping floors which caused exposing gaps in the crawlspace and was able to prescribe a list of treatments that Ayers specializes in to guarantee safe and clean basements.
The main treatment was a set of Helical Piers all placed on the parameter of the home. After raising the home off its base foundation, our team uses a hydraulic press that drives screw-shaped piers are driven deep in the ground. The piers are topped with concrete blocks to give the house a surface to rest on as the weight is evenly distributed amongst the piers.
Dennis had some settling foundation in his home that he wanted fixed. He said he found cracks on the outside of his home and on the inside of his garage. To fix the floors in the garage where the foundation broke the concrete, we used PolyLevel. This foam is injected under the concrete to lift and level the sunken slabs. The foam is waterproof and stable so it won't get washed out or react with soils underneath. It only takes about 15 minutes to cure so you can go about your day and not worry about avoiding the area. To keep the foundation from moving further, we installed Helical Piers. These piers anchor into the hard packed soil underneath the home to keep it from settling more. Helical Piers can help lift settled foundation back to the correct level and the installation can be done all year round.
Brandon and Jennifer have a partially finished basement that their daughter wants to move her bedroom to and they want to create another living room. They wanted an Egress Window put in to provide an easy escape in case of emergencies and to allow more natural light into the area. The window is larger in size than most so you can fit through it and the amount of light creates a space a larger, more inviting looking space.
Caroline noticed clear signs in her home that her foundation was settling. Her doors were closing improperly and a gap began to form between the walls and the flooring on the upper levels. Wanting an immediate solution, Caroline contacted Ayers to help.
Our resident foreman Blade was able to inspect the area and prescribe a treatment plan that would meet Caroline's needs. Blade ended up thinking that Helical Piers would be the best tool to stabilize the home's foundation.
Helical Piers are a tool trusted by Ayers due to their non-intrusive nature compared to other foundational repair systems. The piers are long screw-shaped drives that are driven deep under the home at an angle. The drives kee[ going till they pass the weak soil and find new firm ground. The tops of the piers are capped with load-bearing caps that provide a flat surface for the home to rest upon.
Sherridon’s home was built in 2010 but had a crack in her basement wall that went all the way through to the outside foundation. This resulted in puddles on the floor whenever there was heavy rain. She called Ayers for an inspection and our crew determined that FlexiSpan would be perfect for her home. FlexiSpan is a flexible sealant that works with the wall’s movement to ensure the cracks are constantly covered. Its waterproofing properties smoothly fill in the cracks and can be covered by a finishing product.
Sherridon was grateful to finally have this problem fixed and for not having to clean up the mess of a flood ever again.
Terry inherited his house from his parents. His parents lived there for 20 years before him and it has never been in great condition. There has been 3 to 6 inches of water in the crawlspace for years that has caused some posts holding up the foundation to rust and fall down. Terry called Ayers to finally do something about this major problem. Our crew determined that we would need to replace supports for the entire home as well as encapsulating the crawlspace. We would do this by using SmartJacks, the CleanSpace Wall System, and a Triple Safe Sump Pump.
In order to combat the water entering the home, our crew installed CleanSpace Wall System and a TripleSafe Sump Pump. CleanSpace is a is a moisture barrier that uses a thick plastic liner along basement and crawl space walls to keep them dry and last decades longer. It also has antibacterial properties that prevent mold and bacteria growth. Damp air takes more energy to heat and cool. Cutting down on the moisture in the crawl space, in turn, will cut down on how much it costs to heat or cool the home. The TripleSafe Sump Pump system utilizes three pumps in order to remove excess water from the basement. The second and third pumps are in case of emergencies so the basement can remain dry, even when the power goes out. It also utilizes an exterior discharge line that is installed leading to the low point of the property, sending water away from the home. Since the system is inside, there’s no dirt to clog it up and water is discharged effectively via the sump pump.
To make sure the home was stable for years to come, we installed SmartJacks. SmartJacks are steel supports that balance the foundation of the crawlspace, lifting it to its original position. They can be adjusted so the home will never shift out of place and are anchored into the ground with poured concrete. In 12 months, after settling has occurred, a service tech will come out to tighten smart jacks and achieve even more lift.
Terry felt blessed to have his parents’ home dried and stabilized. They lived there for 20 years with major problems, but now Terry can live there worry-free for another 20.
Lee wanted to sell their home but needed to ensure it was safe to put on the market. Contacting Ayers to inspect the foundation, our foreman Blade was happy to view the home. Blade noticed that the foundation of the home was settling and prescribed Helical Piers.
Helical Piers are a tool trusted by Ayers due to their non-intrusive nature compared to other foundational repair systems. The piers are long screw-shaped drives that are driven deep under the home at an angle. The drives keep going till they pass the weak soil and find new firm ground. The tops of the piers are capped with load-bearing caps that provide a flat surface for the home to rest upon.
Allen wanted his small basement windows replaced in his basement. He called up Ayers for a solution. Our Ayers System Design Specialist went forward with installing our Egress Windows.
Egress Windows are a great option for your basement since they are larger, they will open up your space more and let in more fresh air. These windows include a well with a step in it for a safe exit in the event of an emergency. This will give your basement a more complete, finished look as well.
Allen was ecstatic about the new windows as they made his basement space more inviting!
Trever and Shannon were looking for a window replacement in their basement because they wanted larger windows. After calling Ayers, it was decided that Egress Windows would be a great replacement for their current tiny basement window.
Egress Windows are substantially larger than the unattractive, small windows basements typically have. These windows provide a beautiful alternative as they are larger which makes the space more inviting and open. You will get more fresh air circulation in your basement and they allow for safe exits in emergency situations. A large window well with a step in it is even added outside this window as well.
Trever and Shannon couldn't be more satisfied with the new look these larger Egress Windows provide!
Tim was looking into replacing his tiny basement window and wanted to look through his options. He called Ayers to see what we could offer and we let him know our Egress Windows would be perfect for him!
The Egress Window makes a great replacement for these small basement windows as they are larger so they will let in more natural light and circulate more fresh air throughout the space. The windows also provide a safe, efficient exit option in emergency situations. A well with a step in it is placed outside of your home around the window. We even installed a cover and lid for him to ensure the window is well sealed and protected from outside factors.
Tim was pleased with the new finished look the Egress Window provided his basement!
Tim had what looked like a cracked foundation in his garage that was only getting worse. Worried this trouble would compromise the safety of his home, he called up Ayers to get it repaired. After sending out our System Design Specialists, they made Tim aware that our PolyLevel and NexusPro Crack Repair products would be the perfect solution to these pesky cracks stirring up problems.
Oftentimes with this issue the root cause comes from the combined weight of the concrete and what it supports leading to concrete settlement. The soil beneath the concrete compresses and causes these troublesome issues that can fester into something bigger. PolyLevel is an injection foam that raises this settled concrete and it is waterproof which will prevent future erosion. Then to fix the cracks in the concrete we also used our NexusPro Crack Repair which is a silicone sealant designed to withstand harsh weather so it will not dry out or crack. The sealant will also prevent water or debris from getting under the slab and degrading it from below.
Tim was over the moon to have his foundation cracks in his garage addressed with a permanent solution that will ensure his home's protection!
Cara was having some issues in her basement where water would leak from her walls. Completely annoyed with this pesky problem she called Ayers to find out possible solutions. We sent out our System Design Specialists for an inspection and it was determined she would need our WaterGuard System and our TripleSafe Sump Pump System.
The first installation we made was our WaterGuard System which is a sub-floor drainage system that will collect any dirt and water, keeping it away from your foundation. This solution was made for water leaking through the walls of your basement and is installed around the perimeter of the basement. Concrete is also poured over this system to conceal it. The next product we installed for Cara was our TripleSafe which is a three pump system that fits in one durable liner. The first pump is the main pump in charge of keeping water out but the second is there for backup. The last pump is battery-operated which means it will turn on in emergency power outages.
Cara was ecstatic to have these troublesome wall leaks handled with a permanent, trustworthy system!
Jasper was tired of the smelly odor coming from his crawl space and he knew this space needed to be sealed up for good. He came across Ayers and decided to make the much needed call. We sent out a crew for a free inspection and our professionals determined he should get CleanSpace and SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier.
With CleanSpace, the thick, durable plastic liner utilizes a vapor barrier that will fight to prevent excess water or moisture development. This is even made of inorganic material so it will prevent mold or bacteria growth which is where that musty odor was coming from. This liner is placed along the crawl space floor and walls, separating your home from the soil. Additionally we installed our SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier which will definitely rid the air of gross, damp odors by drying and filtering the air. It is the world's most efficient and high-performing dehumidifier, all while costing him less to run than regular dehumidifiers.
Now that Jasper has his crawl space sealed up and protected, he is free from those irritating odors!
Dawn was very concerned about the sinking floors in her home and she knew she had to get a new support system. She searched for possible solutions and decided to call Ayers. We sent a crew out to her home for a free inspection and it was concluded she needed our SmartJacks.
With SmartJacks, this supplemental support system for crawl spaces will support sagging beams and floor joists. This will provide a permanent solution to this serious issue. It is installed by attaching steel support beams to the floor joists and a sturdy base at the floor. Oftentimes typical support beams in your home are undersized or made from wood which can rot, shift, and settle and as a result they will sag or cause other structural problems.
Dawn was very relieved to have a permanent solution installed so she no longer has to worry about the support and safety of her home!
Steve was dealing with some occasional water leaks in his basement when heavy rains hit the house. He wanted to get this issue resolved quickly so matters wouldn't get worse.

With WaterGuard installed, this sub-floor drainage system will collect water leaking in and direct the flow to the sump and drainage system. This specially designed piping will run around the perimeter of your basement and is concealed with concrete. If you want to take it a step further you can have regular flooring installed over this even, if you're looking to have a more finished look. Then we installed our SuperSump Plus which is a horsepower pump that is designed for basements with only occasional water leaks. It will pump 2200 gallons of water an hour at an 8 foot head.
Steve was thrilled to have these systems installed so he doesn't have to worry about his home's safety being compromised during heavy rains!
Tim had a big crack in his garage foundation and wanted to get a quote from us on the repair cost. After we inspected his home for free and gave him the quote, he decided to move forward with the installation recommendations. Our System Design Specialists had recommended PolyLevel and NexusPro Crack Repair.
With PolyLevel this will repair the sinking concrete that is cracking by using high-density polymers to lift it back to its desired position. This is done by drilling small holes in the concrete and then the specially designed equipment will inject the structural grade polymer in the voids. This is a very quick and efficient method that levels out the uneven concrete. Then to fill the actual cracks in the concrete, NexusPro Crack Repair was used. This is a silicone sealant that can withstand harsh weather.
Tim was thrilled to get these big cracks in his garage sealed up so the safety of his home is ensured!
Brian and Carla came to Ayers with concerns about their foundation. A specialist at Ayers later conducted a home inspection, which concluded their foundation wall was bowing. After speaking with the team at Ayers, Brian and Carla decided to install Carbon Armor to stabilize their foundation permanently!
Carbon Armor utilizes a carbon fiber strap that attaches to the foundation wall with adhesive, and the upper portion of the strap is bolted into place near the floor joist. The glue used in the process penetrates the cement proving a super ridged connection! Carbon Armor will stop a foundation wall from bowing in its place, and Brain and Carla no longer need to worry about their foundation!
Ali was looking for a quote on sealing her crawl space after she realized this was the problem area that was causing the rooms above to be colder. She called Ayers for crawl space help and we had our customer care team set up an appointment for a free inspection first. After the inspection our System Design Specialists were able to conclude she needed CleanSpace.
CleanSpace is a thick, durable plastic liner with a vapor barrier that provides protection from excess water or moisture development. This moisture can lead to nasty mold or bacteria growth so this waterproof liner will prevent that gross issue! This will be placed on her crawl space floor and walls, protecting it from the ground moisture. Sealing up this area will keep the heat in the house better as well.
Ali was happy to get her crawl space sealed up and protected from outside pests!
Cindy was looking into Ayers for crawl space encapsulation, it was dirty and not sealed up properly! After sending a crew to her home to check it out these issues it was decided by our System Design Specialists she needed CleanSpace.
CleanSpace is perfect for crawl spaces because this is a durable, thick plastic liner made of inorganic material that holds a vapor barrier property that will prevent mold or bacteria growth. This is a waterproof solution that is much more effective then a regular tarp you can buy from the store. We also installed our Drainage Matting before CleanSpace which will collect water with its raised dimples. This gives the water leaking into the crawl space a channel underneath the crawl space liner. The water will be directed to her drain and sump pump system.
Cindy was happy to get her crawl space cleaned and sealed up!
Chris needed remedies for his dirt crawl space, so he called Ayers for our encapsulation expertise.

After sending a team of experts out to inspect the situation, we decided it was best to install the TripleSafe sump pump system. This system is designed with three separate pumps to prepare for pump failure. TripleSafe holds higher volumes of water than the average sump pump and if the first pump fails, the backup will kick in. If the power goes out, the third pump is battery-powered to ensure your home remains dry no matter what. Cindy was relieved to see her basement clean and dry once again!
Robin realized her brick-wall basement was allowing water to leak in. She wasn't sure why this was happening or how to fix the problem, so she called Ayers. We sent a team of specialists to her home to examine the condition of her basement. Following the visit, our team suggested the installation of TripleSafe, a sump pump system to prevent pump failure, and CleanSpace to eliminate moisture leakage from the basement walls. TripleSafe uses a three-pump system planning for failure ahead of time with a backup and a battery-powered pump in case of power outages.

Our professionals stopped by his home to assess the situation, and they recommended installing the TripleSafe sump pump. TripleSafe is engineered to prevent pump failure by including two backup pumps, one of which is battery-powered in case of outages. Michael is amazed at how quickly his project was completed!
Jeff's home had stone basement walls, and he worried that the voids between the stones would allow moisture entry. He needed the problem resolved quickly, so he called Ayers for assistance. Our crew of experts stopped by his home to examine the space and recommend a solution. The team suggested Shotcrete, which applies a concrete or mortar wet spray through a high-pressure hose to fill a form or repair damaged surfaces. Jeff loves the final product!
Walter aimed to secure his family home's legacy, intending to pass it down to his son. Initially, he attempted to diagnose the cause of the front porch's sagging, hoping for a straightforward DIY fix. After inspecting for visible cracks without success, he knew he could not find the source of the problem himself. Upon this realization, he reached out to Ayers for assistance. We identified the root issue: unstable foundation due to settlement, posing a threat to the home's integrity. By installing helical piers engineered to restore stability, we stabilized the foundation for future enjoyment for generations. Once the home was leveled, the porch could be restored, and aesthetic improvements made. The project was complete after just two days of work, and Walter could proudly pass the home on to his son.
