Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

This GR homeowner has noticed water in the corner of the basement. The water seems to be coming in where the floor and walls meet so we installed the WaterGuard French Drain System. The system is installed under the floor but above the foundation to keep it out of the "mud zone" where the drain could clog. The drain system collects the water that seeps into the basement and sends it to the sump pump to be discharged out of the home. The system installs quickly and has a clean finished appearance, meaning you don't have to worry about having an unsightly drain around the basement.

This Grand Rapids homeowner has linear cracks on the basement walls. When there is heavy rain, water enters through the cracks. He does have a perimeter drain and sump pump, but he can not finish his basement until the walls are fixed and water is not entering the area. We installed the PowerBrace Wall Repair System to stabilize the walls and possibly straighten the wall. The system is made up of steel I-beams that are secured to the joists above the wall. This system doesn't involve any exterior excavation and installs quickly with minimal disruption to your basement space.

Ben was concerned with the water leaking into his basement after storms and wasn't sure how to fix it. Towels and shovels weren't cutting it, so he researched his options and called Ayers for help. We sent our specialists to his home, and they recommended installing the TripleSafe sump pump. TripleSafe aims to eliminate sump pump failure by providing two backup pumps, one of which is battery-powered in case of outages. Ben feels much more prepared for the next storm!

One look at the first picture, and the issue is apparent: very uneven and sinking concrete. Not only was this a serious tripping hazard, but the uneven concrete was also causing draining issues outside of this Kentwood home. Our slab repair specialist knew that this uneven concrete was no match for the PolyLevel system. This state of the art approach to fixing uneven concrete works by strategically injecting high-density, waterproof polymers into the slab. After the slab injections, NexusPro joint sealant was added to direct surface water away from the joints of the home, in order to prevent any future problems. Because of PolyLevel’s quick curing time, within 15 minutes of installation, this concrete walkway not only received a quick makeover, but was also ready to be walked (not tripped) on.

We were called to Ed's house when he realized the walls in the basement were cracking. Upon inspection, we discovered that his walls were bowing due to the home settling. There were cracks on the foundation walls outisde the home as well. We installed Helical Piers to stabilize the home and even help lift the foundation back to the original level.
