Before & After Photos

For the past few years, Annette and Thomas have had a drafty house. Their home is especially cooler in the winter because their crawl space isn't properly sealed off. So our team insulated their rim joists. Small cracks and seams can exist around rim joists, but after insulating them all of those cracks are sealed off. Now airflow is restricted keeping outside air out and inside air in. Annette and Thomas will no longer have to worry about their home being cold during the long winter months in Michigan.

Nick and his wife moved into their 1940 Swartz Creek, Michigan, home 5 years ago. Although, they didn’t start to have water issues until a few years later. Over time it was gotten much worse but until now they haven’t had the finances to take care of the issue. Now that they do, they want to make sure it’s done right. They had a couple of other estimates, but none were as thorough as ours.   

Nick’s basement is a concrete foundation with no sump pump. It’s an unfinished basement that gets water intrusion every time there are heavy rains. A few spots have what seem like fountains coming through the walls and other areas puddle on the floor. They’ve been using a shop vac regularly for much longer than they should have been and can’t wait to get the issue taken care of. To combat this issue, we would install WaterGuard throughout the basement. 

WaterGuard is a subfloor 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.  

Nick and his wife were elated by the craftmanship of work performed by our Ayers crew and loved how kind they were with them and their home. They felt so much relief knowing they wouldn't have to spend hours in the basement cleaning up water anymore. 

Robin was alarmed by the amount of water leaking into her basement. She wasn't sure why this was happening and called Ayers for help. Our team inspected the house and decided to install the CleanSpace vapor barrier. CleanSpace is an antimicrobial lined material that attaches to the walls and floors. This forms an uninterrupted defense against pests, moisture, and mold growth. CleanSpace is also more durable and efficient than a store-bought tarp, allowing for lower energy costs. Robin won't have to worry about having a dry basement anymore!

Water was entering Lindsey and Randy’s basement through their walls. After they called our team, we installed BrightWall. Brightwall is made of white, plastic panels that provide a waterproof and stain-resistant surface. Acting as a vapor barrier, BrightWall keeps water from seeping through cracks in your basement walls. Lastly, these walls will help brighten your basement and never need painted or any other maintenance.

We've been told time and time again by building codes and officials that crawl spaces have to be vented, but why? If light can get into your crawl space so can air. Vents let in hot air in the summer, cold air in the winter and they can let water in too. These air can cause your utility bills to be more expensive than they need to be and that moisture can cause mold and no one wants that. 

We offer crawl space vent covers that work great to solve all of these issues. Our vents permanently seal the openings so no unwanted outside elements get into your crawl space. They come in black, gray and red to match almost any home.
