Before & After Photos

Mary worried moisture entering her crawl space could cause mold growth and structural damage to her home, so she called Ayers to learn about our waterproofing solutions. Our specialists stopped by her house and suggested installing EverLast doors. Crawl space doors are typically made with plywood that's not fit to prevent moisture. The EverLast door is strong, plastic, and won't crack, warp, or shrink over time. Mary is happy she called Ayers and got the job done quickly!

This crawl space in Presque Isle, MI was experiencing some issues with two walls where blocks were shifting. They had a contractor come in and lift the home but he only ended up making things worse. To paint and even more grim picture, once the problems got bigger, the contractor split. That's when the homeowner called us to fix the issue. The fix for this home was a couple of new steel beams to support the floor above. The beams were held in place by SmartJacks. SmartJacks are incredibly strong and their adjustable. They are a homeowners best option for lifting a sagging floor. Along the walls where blocks were shifting, we used wall anchors and PowerBraces. With wall anchors, large steel plates on the interior are connected to steel Geo-Lock earth anchors outside which help to hold the wall in place and possibly straighten it over time. PowerBraces work great when digging is not an option outside. PowerBraces are a sort of floor-to-ceiling zinc coated steel beam that support the home and offers a unique tightening option to possibly straighten the wall over time.

Jeff's basement had notable water damage that needed a permanent solution. Heavy rains were leading to this damage, so he called Ayers to make the best recommendation. We suggested our subfloor interior drainage system called WaterGaurd. This drain collects water seeping through the walls and reroutes it to the sump pump. We poured fresh concrete over WaterGaurd to conceal it within the space. Jeff feels relieved since he no longer has to worry about water intrusion each time it rains!

Kathy was tired of water leaking into her basement. She contacted us at Ayers Basement System to find a permanent waterproofing solution. After conducting an inspection, the team at Ayers determined that the FlexiSpan wall system would be the best solution. FlexiSpan is a three-step process where the crack is sealed, and waterproof liners are placed, creating a waterproof barrier. After the installation, Kathy no longer had issues with water leaking into her basement!

Mark decided to call Ayers after realizing water leaking from one of his basement walls. Our crew suggested our FlexiSpan solution after inspecting the problem area. The great advantage of FlexiSpan is it will treat the small cracks without forcing you into a full wall remodel that is more costly in time and money. First, we fill the cracks with a flexible sealant then we add a drainage layer. If water permeates this white panel layer, it will be directed down into the subfloor drain we installed below. Mark was thrilled to get a quick, professional fix!
