Before & After Photos

Our customer called with a sinking house - but only the part over the crawl space. Which means the crawl space is the problem. Upon inspection, we found inadequate support beams and support posts, which explains the sinking and unlevel floors in the home. 

We stabilized the crawl space with SmartJack crawl space support posts as well as steel beams to reinforce the wooden support beams. With all of the added support, the crawl space should no longer be a problem and the home above it will be safe and level.

In order to get fully waterproofed, this home in Grant, MI needed our WaterGuard installed. WaterGuard is a french drain system that sits below the floor slab and rests on top of the foundation footing. What this does is keep the drainage system out of the dreaded "mud zone", where drains are susceptable to clogging.

As you can see, WaterGuard is installed around the perimeter of the basement to fully maximize its effectiveness. It's also installed with minimal invasion to the slab, and once the project is complete, new concrete is layed over the drain, making it practically invisible to you or any guests in your home. The WaterGuard also has a drain outlet directly to the sump pump and will not cause any damage to the foundation.

It's extremely important for every homeowner to have a proper drainage system in their basement, especially around this area with all of the rain and snow that we get. Thanks to WaterGuard, this Grant, MI home now has a clog-free drainage system that will help keep their basement dry all year round.

Homeowners in Newaygo, MI were looking to clean their mold and dirt filled crawl space once and for all. Mold-X was used to clean out the space and stop mold and bacteria growth on the walls and ceiling. CleanSpace, the white liner shown in the after photo, was installed to act as a vapor barrier in order to keep moisture out of the crawl space. 

Fred and Caroline have tried many DIY methods to waterproof their basement. Walking downstairs and seeing water on the floor AGAIN, was the final straw. They called Ayers for an inspection and we determined that WaterGuard would work best to waterproof their home. 

WaterGuard is a sub-floor waterproofing system that collects water that leaks through the walls and keeps dirt away from the foundation . It is installed along the perimeter of the basement and on top of the footing of the foundation. Concrete is poured on top and regular flooring can be placed on top. 

Fred and Caroline were so glad to have their lives back and grateful they never have to worry about a wet basement again. 

If water leaks into your basement, there is a good chance the walls will be damaged. Paul noticed water leaking into his space and contacted us at Ayers Basement Systems. Our team determined there were leaks in the foundation, and Paul's walls were ruined from the water. To solve the issue, Paul opted to install the EverLast finished wall restoration system. Our crew installed the system, leaving Paul thrilled with the final product!
