Before & After Photos

Kari and Bill of Zeeland, MI, were experiencing water intrusion in their partially finished 1918 basement. Concerned about long-term damage and stability, they reached out to Ayers. Our team designed a customized solution, starting with push piers and wall anchors to stabilize the foundation, followed by the EverBrace™ Wall Restoration System for added structural support. We then installed a WaterGuard® Drainage System to manage water intrusion and protect the space. Now, their basement is dry, secure, and ready for the future.

Jon was experiencing bowing walls in his basement and it was clear to even the untrained eye. Jon knew the job required professional help so he contacted Ayers. Our foreman Evan was able to inspect the area and found no signs of water within the home. This meant he and his team could focus on stabilizing the wall.

The wall was showing clear cracks and with a glance, anyone could tell the wall had a curve to it. Evan and his team used a GeoLock anchor to correct the wall. A GeoLock anchor is installed by excavating the ground surrounding the compromised wall and installing a base that is secured into place with deep steel drives. On the opposite side, inside the home, a large metal plate is placed directly on top of the center of the cracking and secured to the wall with screws. The two pieces are bolted together and tightened till constant pressure is present. This pressure pulls the wall back into place and provides a permanent source of stabilization for the wall.

At Ayers’ Basement Systems, making your home safe and comfortable is our top priority. That’s why when Sidney told us about her husband’s health concerns, we gladly took on the task of installing replacement egress windows that were up-to-code, beautifully crafted, and that provide a variety of benefits. 

Our egress window wells feature durable, built-in steps that allow easy access to a safe exit in case of an emergency. They are even equipped with polycarbonate window well covers that can hold up to 500 pounds of weight.

Tom called us because he wanted his rim joists insulated. Small cracks and seams can exist around rim joists, but after insulating them all of those cracks are sealed off. Now airflow is restricted keeping outside air out and inside air in.

A customer's concrete driveway needed lifted so he called our team. We installed PolyLevel, a system designed to fix concrete slabs that have sunk by using a new product to lift the concrete slabs back to their original level. The new product used is a polyurethane foam that expands and has a high density in order to raise the concrete. The process is quite simple and is done by drilling small holes into the concrete and then inserting the foam into the holes. Also, the PolyLevel system is waterproof and long-lasting.
