Before & After Photos

Peter was losing a great deal of heat through his Dyrden, Michigan, crawl space. He wanted a company that could encapsulate the crawl space. After a lot of research, Peter decided to go with Ayers Basement Systems because of our stellar reputation and five-star reviews. After removing all the debris, our team will work to install CleanSpace Wall System.

CleanSpace Wall System is a moisture barrier that uses a thick plastic liner along crawl space walls to keep them dry and last decades longer. It also has antibacterial properties that prevent mold and bacteria growth. Damp air takes more energy to heat and cool. Cutting down on the moisture in the crawl space, in turn, will cut down on how much it costs to heat or cool the home. 

Peter could not have been happier with the installation. He is no longer losing heat because of the crawl space and has been saving a lot of money on his heating bills. 

The customer had water coming into her 1890s home from the northwest corner, with up to half an inch of standing water at times. Concerned about the old stone foundation, she requested a full inspection. Utilizing our full perimeter waterproofing system and our Triplesafe Sump Pump, this basement can now be dry and no longer be concerned about water intrusion.

This wasn’t the first time that these Spruce, MI customers had looked for a crawl space solution. The cinder blocks support system in the before photo are a testament to that. They were installed after the last time the crawl space shifted. The crawl space had shifted quite a few time over the years because the home was located above a natural spring, so the homeowners doubted that the cinder blocks would be their last repair to the crawl space. However, the SmartJack system and steel support beams in the after photo could be.

While the SmartJack system will essentially provide the same support as the cinderblocks, they have the unique advantage of being installed into the ground. The SmartJacks are installed into excavated portions of the ground and then backfilled with a cement and gravel mixture to keep them in place. With any luck, this crawl space won't have to worry about any more shifts or tilts for a long time. 

Phillip worried his sump pump wasn't pumping water out of his basement fast enough. He knew this project wouldn't be completed on his own, so he called Ayers for help. A team of specialists visited and decided the TripleSafe sump pump would be the best solution. TripleSafe contains three pumps: a primary, backup, and battery-powered pump for power outages. Phillip loves how dry his basement is!

Dusty was sick of his basement windows and wanted to find out his options, so he called Ayers. Our team of experts went to his home and recommended an egress window. The egress window is designed for durability against heavy soil and water and to allow for a safe escape. The one-piece structure with steps for evacuation also employs a polycarbonate cover for safety. Dusty felt so much better having his beautiful new window!
