Before & After Photos

Gene just recently added an addition to her home that has a separate basement area than the rest of the home. This area gets water in it during Michigan's wet seasons and then during heavy rain as well. The water enters where the floor and wall meet so it doesn't flow towards the sump pump that they already have. We installed the WaterGuard system to help with the water issue in her home. The WaterGuard is a system that contains a French drain installed under the floor to collect water that is leaking into the area. The collected water is sent to the sump pump to be discharged outside the home.

Casey and her family want to give an upgrade to the basement in their home by creating a living area as well as some extra bedrooms. Due to having rooms downstairs, she wanted to make sure that the area was safe so she called us about Egress windows and wells. We came and installed 2 Egress windows and wells to the basement. The windows are large enough to allow safe exit out of the space in case of an emergency and allow more natural light into the area. The wells The well that is around the window is made up of one piece so that it will not collapse from backfill or allow water to leak through the well walls. The wells are also engineered for safety because there ladders or sturdy steps attached to make it easy to get out!

This crawl space had suffered some minor termite damage in the past and signs of some moisture in the crawl space were evident. We were able to help remedy the issues under this home by sistering some joists to ensure the strength of the structure. We also encapsulated the crawl space using our durable CleanSpace material. This material covers the ground and is carried up the walls and around piers to create an effective moisture barrier. We also installed SilverGlo insulation on the wall to reflect heat back into the crawl space during the cold months and increase energy efficiency. Lastly, we spray foamed the rim joists which are a common entry point for humid air. This helps to create a cleaner, dryer, brighter, and healthier space under the home. 

Lucas from Grass Lake, MI was having water issues in his basement. His sump pump had been running full time the entire fall, and water was beginning to seep through the floor around where the sump pump was. In order to stop water from seeping in and preventing further damage, we decided to install our TripeSafe Sump Pump.

TripleSafe has three sump pumps that all fit into one liner. This is important because three pumps won’t become overwhelmed with higher pumping demands like a single pump would. Also, if the power goes out in your home, the third pump serves as a battery-operated backup, meaning that it will take care of any business that needs to be handled until the power comes back on. Lucas' old sump pump simply couldn't handle all of the water that was coming in, but with TripleSafe, no amount of water is ever too much for this beast.

In terms of waterproofing your basement, there simply isn't a superior option to our TripleSafe Sump Pump.

Bernie and Cathleen have lived in the house for the past 15 years and have finished off the basement over that time. This year they found water leaking in from the north wall. They want to stop that leakage as they are not sure if they are staying or not long term. They may refinish the basement, as all the kids are now grown and moved out. Wanting a plan of action that was comprehensive and fairly priced, they contacted Ayers to come to inspect the area. Our Foreman Bruce discussed the issues and concerns the couple had with them and drafted a solution plan that everyone agreed upon.

The current sump system of the home was working well so Bruce and his team installed a WaterGuard system to help control the extra water.

WaterGuard is a system of channels installed under the foundational floor, out of sight, and starts at the sump pump, directing any water the pump cannot control and leading it far away from the home.
