Before & After Photos

Bob's foundation was in trouble as it became exposed to the outside elements. He knew he needed to do something, so he contacted us at Ayers Basement Systems. Our team scheduled an inspection and arrived at his home to assess the situation. After a thorough evaluation, they determined that Bob's foundation required a combination of SmartJacks and ShotCrete to ensure stability and longevity. These solutions fixed Bob’s dilemma and strengthened the entire foundation, ensuring it could withstand the test of time!

The homeowners had owned their home for eight years, and during that time, the support structures in the crawlspace had deteriorated significantly. Traditional support options, like piering, were considered but would have required extensive and costly renovations, including ripping up their deck, floors, and kitchen subfloors, which was impractical.

Smart jacks were installed to stabilize the crawlspace effectively without invasive renovations. This solution provided solid, reliable support, meeting the homeowners' needs without disrupting their home’s interior. They now have peace of mind with a secure foundation, and the installation was completed affordably and efficiently.

The owner of this Caledonia, MI home recently noticed that water was leaking in through the corner walls of the basement. He was so concerned by the amount of water that entered, he immediately dug up the soil that was around the wall as seen in the before photo. In the after photo, you can see the Sentry Seal solution that the crew used to make sure that water didn’t leak through again. The sealant is made of a black membrane that’s attached to the walls using a sticky resin to hold them in place. Once the membrane was fully attached, the crew replaced the soil and completed the installation. 

Mike called us becuase he notcied that there were leaks in the basement walls and during heavy rain there were puddles. We installed the WaterGuard system to keep his basement dry. The WaterGuard is a French drain that is designed to be installed below the floor slab so that it is out of the "mud zone" and won't clog. The system collects water as it seems in from the walls and drains it to the sump pump. It installs quickly and has a clean finish.

One of our customers from Caledonia contacted us about his wet basement walls, he didn't know how to fix this issue so he gave us a call. We drove to his home and installed FlexiSpan technology. FlexiSpan is a crack sealer for concrete that is used often times on basement walls. First, a dry well is made in the floor below the crack on the wall. Then, the crack in the wall is ready for a FlexiSpan seal. FlexiSpan contains three layers, the first is a urethane based sealant, followed by a polyurethane ether foam strip, finished off with a polyurethane sealant. Any water drains into the dry well below the FlexiSpan seal. Now this homeowner's basement walls will be dry forever.
