Before & After Photos

After a questionable foundation repair to this Cement City, MI home, the owners began to notice that they’re basement didn’t look quite right. There were cracks in the foundation and front porch. Not to mention, both the floors upstairs and porch seemed to be sagging and uneven. In other words, the foundation was starting to settle. The owners wanted to keep their basement separate from the upstairs for a little while longer, so they made a call to the basement and foundation experts, Ayers Basement Systems.

To fix this settling foundation, the crew used SmartJacks. The jacks are usually used to repair the floor above sagging crawl spaces, but thanks to their adjustability, the jacks were perfect for this low basement ceiling. Similar to the installation process for crawl spaces, the SmartJacks were attached to previously installed reinforcement beams in the ceiling and lodged into the concrete slab at floor level. The SmartJacks will reduce the amount of stress on the foundation and stabilize the ceiling back to its original position.

Homeowners in Bath, MI were experiencing water leaks in their crawl space. It's common for concrete block and cinder block walls to experience this, as they are porous, leaky, and known to have low water resistant properties. 

To block any more water from entering the crawl space, we wrapped the area and piers in CleanSpace, a liner that acts as a tough barrier making it impossible for moisture to get through. CleanSpace is durable, mold resistant and completely seals off the home from the earth. Ta-da! Crawl space transformed.

Doris gave Ayers a call when he noticed water pouring through under the small window well in the basement. The professionals at Ayers inspected the issue and decided to go ahead and install our Egress Windows. 

This is an effective solution as it consists of a large well and a safe exit passage in the case of an emergency. Another benefit being the larger window will provide better natural light, making the space seem bigger and more inviting. 

Doris now has cleaner, larger, and more inviting windows that help transform his basement into a regular living space!

This homeowner was experiencing musty smells throughout their home and mold in the basement. In addition to the Drainage Matting that allows water to flow freely to the sump pump, this homeowner added a CleanSpace vapor barrier and SaniDry dehumidifier to keep the moisture out and eliminate the mold and nasty smells. 

The customer called us with a leaking wall crack in their basement. A FlexiSpan system took care of the crack itself, but the source of the problem was the basement window. We installed a new egress window that will eliminate the leak and any future cracks.
