Before & After Photos

The homeowner's crawlspace was a mix of dirt and concrete floors, contributing to his home's high humidity levels and unpleasant odors. These issues stemmed from improper encapsulation, leading to moisture buildup and poor air quality. To address the humidity and odor problem, Ayers encapsulated the crawlspaces by installing a vapor barrier system on the walls and floors. The joists were insulated to protect against moisture, and drainage matting was placed to help manage water under the vapor barrier. A dehumidifier system (Sanidry) was connected to the existing sump pump to control the humidity. This approach effectively reduced the moisture and improved air quality in Larry’s basement, solving the issues he was previously facing

The owners of this Decatur, MI rental home started to notice moisture in the walls and throughout the carpet in this room. They did what they could to dry out the space, including running a dehumidifier, but nothing worked. Our team came and revealed that the moisture had indeed done some damage— causing mold and mildew to grow behind the drywall. The best option to combat this was to replace the drywall along the perimeter of the room and replace it with EverLast wall panels. These cement boards have a washable, vinyl finish and are more resistant to water than traditional drywall. ThermalDry tiles, which are the only inorganic subfloors resilient to water and mold, were then installed making this room dry and mold-free. 

Melinda's crawl space needed insulated so she called our team. We installed SilverGlo, a set of waterproof foam panels. This panels are used on the walls of your crawl space in order to insulate it. Uninsulated crawl spaces cost you money each year by increasing your heating and cooling bills. SilverGlo blocks all moisture and is made of inorganic material which prevents mold, rot or mildew from forming. Overall, it will keep your crawl space dry and insulated which will save you lots of money over the years.

Our team was called because a customer needed her crawl space insulated. So our team instulated her rim joists. Seams and small cracks can exist around rim joists, but after insulating them all of those cracks are sealed off. After insulation, flow is restricted which keeps vapor and moisture out. 

Trista and Chris of Decatur, MI had dealt with basement water issues for years, but worsening conditions pushed them to take action. After a free inspection from Ayers Basement Systems, they chose a customized waterproofing solution featuring the TripleSafe™ sump pump and WaterGuard® system. Now, they’re on their way to enjoying a dry, functional space for their family once again.
