Tim's Pinconning, MI home was built in 1945. It had previously belonged to his mother since the 70s. Years ago, a cement trucked parked right next to the house, cracking areas of the foundation. Since then, the cracks have only gotten worse, forming a major stair-step crack throughout the basement. Water comes though whenever it rains and Tim has to be in the basement with a shop-vac for hours cleaning up the mess.
Tim was looking for peace of mind regarding the home that protected him and his family for years, so he called Ayers Basement Systems. Our crew came out for an inspection and determined Tim would need CarbonArmor to stabilize the foundation, and WaterGuard and CleanSpace to combat the water coming in.
CarbonArmor is a flexible, fabric like epoxy that is 10x stronger than steel. The epoxy adheres to your basement walls and penetrates into the surface to reinforce and stabilize the foundation.
WaterGuard is a sub-floor waterproofing system that collects water that leaks through basement 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. CleanSpace Wall System is a moisture barrier that uses a thick plastic liner along basement walls to keep them dry and last decades longer. It also has antibacterial properties that prevent mold and bacteria growth.
With all of these products combined, Tim is ensured a safe, dry, and sturdy home for years to come. He was thrilled with the professionalism of the crew and great communication throughout the project. He can't wait to start making new memories in his mother's old house!
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.
Brenda worried about water pooling into her crawl space. She knew her sump pump must have failed, so she called Ayers for help. Our crew visited her home and recommended the SmartSump sump pump. This system is designed specifically for small spaces and includes WaterWatch, the alarm system intended to alert the homeowner when water leaks past the sensor. Brenda is happy she called Ayers to get the job done!
Ayers team addressed the water and mold issues in the crawl space of a home built in 1990 with a cinderblock foundation. They installed a sump pump and encapsulated the crawlspace using CleanSpace moisture barrier and vent covers. Additionally, they used FrothPak insulation to seal gaps and prevent further moisture intrusion. This comprehensive approach ensures a dry and healthy crawlspace environment, protecting the home from structural damage and indoor air quality issues.
Dan called Ayers hoping for waterproofing systems to keep his old basement dry. This area was in rough shape, so our crew inspected the home to make the best recommendations. Our system design specialists suggested our WaterGaurd and TripleSafe sump pump systems. WaterGuard is an interior drainage system that runs along the perimeter of the basement. It collects water in the drain and directs the leaking water to the sump pump system. TripleSafe is a three-pump system that eradicates these pesky leaks outside the home. The third pump is even battery-operated to guarantee the system runs during outages. Dan is grateful for the professional solutions that keep his basement dry!
