Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Lori awoke the morning after a storm and found water leaking into her basement and pooling on the floor. She didn't want her belongings ruined but wasn't sure how to fix the problem, so she called Ayers for help. We sent a team of specialists to her home to evaluate and recommend a solution. They suggested installing TripleSafe, the sump pump system designed with three pumps to prevent failure. The primary and backup pumps are accompanied by a battery-powered pump in case of power outages! Lori is glad she called and got the job done correctly!

Gary and Alice, homeowners in Lansing, MI, were worried about their pipes freezing during the winter. This concern was serious for them, as it is much more costly to deal with frozen pipes that can cause flooding in the basement and crawl space. Their worry was amplified after hearing about their son's experience with a similar issue in his larger crawl space. To address their concerns, they called Ayers about the situation. The team used CleanSpace, an encapsulation and vapor barrier product, along with Foamax to seal off the empty areas in the crawl space. This solution ensured that the crawl space remained warm during the winter months. Not only did this provide Gary and Alice with peace of mind, but it also improved energy efficiency by preventing the crawl space from becoming excessively cold.

This home in Lansing, MI was experiencing some excess water in their basement. We went through and installed our WaterGuard system to redirect the water to the proper place and a properly working sump pump. Once the more invasive work was done it was time to restore the basement. This customer had many of our inorganic and waterproof materials installed such as EverLast wall panels and Elite Plank faux wood flooring. This made the basement look fabulous while also making sure it would last a long time. 

With two inches of standing water last Spring finding its way into the basement, this property needed to keep the basement dry to attract buyers for the following year. The WaterGuard french drain system will be used to catch the water and send it straight to the sump pump before it causes any damage. Additionally, BrightWall was installed along the walls to give the basement a clean look and lighten up the space.

This Lansing, MI homeowner gave us a call when water started pooling around his drain. The owner was concerned about possible water damage because the partially finished basement included a bedroom, full bathroom, and living area. With a sump pump and lawn discharge already in place, he wasn’t sure what more needed to be done for protection. But, our system design specialist was happy to lay out the options.

Eventually, the owner decided on an upgrade to his previous system. While the new system would include a perimeter drainage system and an additional discharge line, the big upgrade was from his previous sump to our SuperSump system. The base 1/3 horsepower of SuperSump makes it one of our more reliable and economical sump pump systems. As you can see in the after photo, the sump pump also comes with an airtight lid to prevent water from pooling over and debris from falling in and causing clogs. It’s also perfect for helping this basement maintain its partially finished look. The additional power of the SuperSump, combined with the rest of their new waterproofing system will keep this basement constantly dry. For added protection, we recommend homeowners consider our optional backup pumps to keep your basement dry even during power outages.
