Before & After Photos

Adina and Terry had water issues around the perimeter of their finished basement so they had to rip up the carpet. There was no moisture found on the walls or signs of water. They didn't have a sump pump to get rid of the water and they wanted to be able to use the space again. We installed the WaterGuard which is a French drain system under the floor but above the foundation to keep it from clogging. We also installed the SuperSump Premier Pump System with the added battery back up to make sure the basement stays dry for extended periods of time even when there is heavy water intrusion, even in the event of a powere outage. Lastly we installed the SaniDry XP, a basement dehumidifier that keeps dry air circulating throughout the space to keep the area dry. It is ideal for finished basements because it can be stored in a corner or closet so it is not in the way.

Homeowners in Ada, Michigan, enlisted Ayers to update their outdated egress window to meet current code standards. After recently finishing their basement to include a kitchenette and additional living space, they wanted to enlarge the existing window to ensure proper egress and enhance the safety and functionality of the area. As a bonus, the home's value increased with the space now brought up to code.

Aliyah gave Ayers the call when she noticed her current sump pump wasn't able to keep up with the water anymore. We had a crew come take a look to determine the best solution, which was to install our TripleSafe Sump Pump System. This sump pump has three pumps total that fit in one durable liner and will effectively keep any water out of the basement. The first pump does most of this job, the second will run if more assistance is needed, the last pump is battery-operated for power failures. Aliyah was grateful to get a more efficient sump pump installed so she won't have to worry about her belongings getting soaked!

Chris noticed his basement walls had large, deep cracks in them. He knew this couldn't be good, so he called Ayers for help. We sent a team of trained specialists to his house to examine his basement and see what we could do. Our experts recommended a wet-spray concrete process called Shotcrete. Shotcreting applies a concrete or mortar wet-spray through a high-pressure hose to fill a form or repair damaged surfaces. Chris was happy to have the cracks in his basement walls sealed up for good!

Merilee called in search of an egress window for the basement she hoped to use as an office. In addition to fire code requirements, she just wanted the room to be brighter and more pleasant to spend time in.

By adding the egress window, we not only brightened the basement, but we added value to the home by creating more (legal) living space.
