Before & After Photos

Mike and Valerie wanted to sell their home near Lake Huron but worried that sagging, creaky floors would turn buyers away. After receiving costly repair quotes elsewhere, they called Ayers for an affordable solution. Our team installed SmartJack® crawl space support posts and a new supplemental beam to lift and reinforce the floor above—restoring stability without breaking the bank. Now, their home is market-ready, and they can sell with confidence.

This historic Forestville, MI home, over a century old, faced a crumbling and severely cracked foundation, threatening its future. Our team provided expert foundation repair with a comprehensive solution. After excavating the failing foundation, we utilized SmartJacks, supplemental beams, and durable Shotcrete to stabilize and rebuild it. This foundation stabilization project has ensured this home stands strong for generations to come.

James and Donna noticed their floors shaking whenever they walked, particularly in the living room. Concerned about the stability of their home, they called Ayers Basement Systems for a free inspection. The inspection revealed that the support beams in their crawl space were sloping, which was causing the uneven floors. To fix this, we installed SmartJack support posts to level and stabilize the floors. Now, James and Donna enjoy walking on solid, stable floors, free from the noise and worry of anything breaking.

Chad and Laura have lived in their 1990s home for eight years. When they bought it, the previous owner said the basement was sealed to keep out water. After a few months, they finished the basement for their two teenage sons. Over the last few years, they noticed water seeping up between the floorboards and wall whenever it rained, prompting them to seek a fix. To keep the water intrusion under control, they used a dehumidifier. After inspecting the area, the specialist found water damage and recommended a perimeter waterproofing system to prevent water from entering the basement. This solution included WaterGuard, a French drain installed below the floor slab, and a TripleSafe sump pump to remove water from the drainage system. Now, Chad and Laura can enjoy their finished basement again, knowing it will stay dry.

Brian and Sam were looking to buy a 1920s house as an investment property. Brian, a local South Bend, IN home inspector, knew the home they were looking to purchase had some problems that needed to get fixed before allowing renters to live in the house, ensuring a safe and comfortable space. 

After evaluating the space, it was determined that there was a lot of water intrusion through the basement walls, which showed signs of damage, mold, and cracked walls.

With Ayer's providing a full-perimeter waterproofing system and CleanSpace wall protectant, Brian and Sam can feel at ease knowing their renters have a clean, waterproofed basement. The CleanSpace provides cleaner-looking walls and serves as a vapor barrier and protectant. Now, all water will flow down the walls, into the waterproofing system along the walls, and pump out of the home through a sump pump.
