Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Jane was stressed over the water leaking into her home during heavy rainfalls and she knew she had to put an end to it. She gave Ayers a call when she was on the hunt for solutions and we sent a crew out for a free inspection. After taking a look, our System Design Specialists let Jane know it would be best to have our WaterGuard System, TripleSafe Sump Pump System, and our IceGuard System installed. 

First we installed the WaterGuard System which will collect water and dirt, keeping it away from your foundation. This sub-floor drainage system is installed around the perimeter of the basement. Concrete is poured over it to conceal the system. Then with TripleSafe, this is a three pump system that fits in one durable liner and will also help in getting the water out of your basement. The first pump will do most of the work and the second is there for backup. The last pump will turn on if there is a power outage. Finally, we added IceGuard to the exterior drainage lines to prevent any clogging or freezing during cold, harsh weather. The slotted openings in it will eject water in these situations.

After these waterproofing installations, Jane is no longer stressing about water intruding into her home!

Sharon’s crawl space near Centennial Acres Golf Course was allowing moisture to seep in, threatening her family’s air quality. Concerned for her children’s health, she called Ayers for a permanent solution. Our team installed a CleanSpace® vapor barrier and a new sump pump to seal out moisture and keep her home dry. Now, Sharon has peace of mind knowing her crawl space is protected, and her kids can play safely in the basement.

Which came first: The wall crack or the leak?

It's hard to tell, since water can come in through cracked basement walls but water can also CAUSE wall cracks by weakening the structure, but either way, we can fix it.

These homeowners had a long horizontal wall crack on one of their basement walls (marked in both pictures by the gray tape), along with a leak. After we installed new discharge line and a set of LawnScape outlets to take care of the leak, we used six 8 foot PowerBraces to reinforce the failing wall.

A wet basement is no beauty -- as seen in the picture of this basement in Olivet, MI. However, we have a solution: WaterGuard. The WaterGuard French drain system rests below the floor and on top of the foundation footing, collecting the water that drains through your basement walls. The water is then filtered into your sump pump. This is a great way to avoid a water issue in your basement.

This crawl space was not an area you wanted to step foot in…even if you could. The insulation was falling and debris covered the dirt floor, but what’s worse is that it was humid and damp. After meeting with our system design specialists, the homeowners knew that CleanSpace was their best option to fixing up their crawl space. This bright white liner dramatically brightens the space, and provides a moisture barrier. It’s made of many layers of cord-reinforced material making it durable and tear resistant. CleanSpace is also manufactured with an antimicrobial additive to prevent mold from growing on the liner. Encapsulating the crawl space with our patented liner ensures that moisture stays will stay out of this crawl space and allows the homeowners to even use the space for storage!
