Before & After Photos

Puddles. The only word to describe the aftermath of a water leak in this basement. When water would enter the basement it’d collect in puddles across the floor, making it an area you’d want to avoid. At Ayers, we firmly believe that no basement should have water in it, let alone puddles. To fix this problem, our team got to work installing WaterGuard around the perimeter of this basement. This specially engineered waterproofing system is designed to collect water from the floor and walls. Since the piping sits on top of the footing, it won’t get clogged with mud. The installation of WaterGuard in this basement ensures that puddles are a thing of the past, keeping these floors nice and dry.

Our customer, John C. from Saugatuck, MI, was having problems with water in his basement. Thankfully, we had a solution. Water in basements can cause serious problems over time and we had just the thing to take care of this issue.

We installed our patented SuperSump premier sump pump system for this job. The SuperSump is a sump pump specifically designed to keep your basement dry for long periods of time. Capable of pumping 2,220 gallons of water per hour, it is suitable for heavy water intrusion.

A customer called our team because he wanted his crawl space insulated, so we insualted his rim joists. Small cracks and seams can exist around rim joists, but after insulating them all of those cracks are sealed off. Now flow is restricted keeping moisture and unwanted allergens out.

A Saugatuck homeowner faced freezing floors and winter drafts caused by uninsulated basement rim joists. Ayers expertly sealed the gaps with insulation, boosting the home’s energy efficiency and comfort. Now, their floors are warmer, and the upstairs living space is cozy, even in the heart of winter. If drafts are making your home uncomfortable, contact us for a free inspection!

When a potential buyer asked if there was anything that could be done about this Edwardsburg, MI crawl space, the current owner and real estate agent called us out for help. The dirt floor in the before picture makes for an easy passageway for moisture to enter the crawl space and cause problems. However, the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier that was installed would put a stop to that. The CleanSpace barrier, seen in the after photo, is impenetrable by moisture or vapor. It’s the type of long lasting encapsulation that future owners know they can depend on. And if the vapor barrier wasn’t enough on its own, CleanSpace wasn’t the only thing added to the home. The yellow lid in the after photo is our SmartSump. Our SmartSump system is a sump pump designed specifically for crawl spaces that will discharge any water that does enter for maximum crawl space protection. Whoever ends up buying this home will be lucky enough to also receive a full crawl space encapsulation system.
