Before & After Photos

We receive a lot of calls from people as they begin trying to sell their homes. Mostly because they want to make sure that everything is as presentable as possible. The call from this listing agent was no different. The house was going up for sale, but it had two cracks in the foundation that she wanted to have taken care of first. When our team needs to repair smaller cracks in basement walls like these, we use FlexiSpan sealant. The sealant is double layered, with the first being injected into the crack to seal it up permanently - no matter how the wall shifts or moves over the years. The layer on top of that is a drainage layer. Any water that does somehow permeate the initial seal will be directed to the new drainage point that the team installed at the foot of the wall; You can see the darker shade of fresh concrete where the system was installed in the after photo.

Rosemary called ues becuase she has been having water issues during heavy rain in her basement for 25 years. The water that gets in is not a ton but there is enough to where she can not finish the basement or reso the flooring. We installed the WaterGuard system which is a drain system that is installed under the floor to collect the water seeping in. The water that is collected get sent to the sump pump to be expelled outside of the house.

The home had an unstable foundation with sloping floors, gaps in the stone walls, and moisture issues in the crawlspace, leading to potential structural damage and pest problems. The Ayers team encapsulated the crawlspace with a heavy-duty liner, sealed the walls with spray foam, and added insulation to protect against moisture, pests, and rot. This improved the home’s structural integrity and air quality, with future plans to add supports for further floor stabilization.

Jeanne's basement was old and unprotected, causing water to leak through the walls. She realized she had zero waterproofing solutions to combat the water, so she called Ayers. The inspection we completed of her home helped us determine the best recommendations. These suggestions were to have our experts install our WaterGuard System, TripleSafe Sump Pump System, and CleanSpace Wall System. WaterGuard is a subfloor drainage system installed along the perimeter of the basement. This drain will collect the water leaking through the walls and direct it to the sump pump. The next part of the installation was the addition of our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, a three-pump system there to keep water off the floor. Lastly, we added our CleanSpace Wall System to give the walls a vapor barrier, preventing excess moisture development. 

Tom had a stone-wall basement for years until he realized it allows moisture to enter his home. He wanted his basement walls encapsulated correctly the first time, so he called Ayers. We sent a team of specialists to his house to conduct an inspection who decided CleanSpace was the way to go. CleanSpace is an uninterrupted, antimicrobial liner that serves as a vapor barrier on the walls and floors of the basement. Tom was excited to finally have a clean, dry basement!
