From Crumbling to Strong: Restoring a Historic Hillsdale, MI Foundation

This 1800s Hillsdale building has seen a lot over the years, but time has taken its toll. Its stone foundation was weakening, the dirt-floor basement was damp, and water intrusion threatened its future. With plans to transform the space into an investment firm, the owner also needed the basement to be a reliable storage area. But before that could happen, the foundation had to be stabilized, and the basement needed to be waterproofed.

 

The transformation began with reinforcing the foundation. Shotcrete strengthened the aging stone, restoring its durability and ensuring the building had a solid base for years to come. SmartJacks followed, leveling out the floors above and eliminating that “spongy” feel, creating a sturdy and secure space upstairs.

 

Once the foundation was stabilized, the owner was relieved to know the building was structurally sound and its history was preserved. With that major step complete, the focus could now shift to waterproofing the basement—making it a dry, dependable storage space for years to come!

Waterproofing Solution for Eagle, MI Home

Floyd has lived in his home built in the 50s for about 20 years. Water has been seeping in from the walls and pooling all over since he moved in. He finally called Ayers for an inspection and our crew determined that a combination of WaterGuard and the TripleSafe sump pump would solve Floyd's waterproofing needs. 

WaterGuard is a sub-floor 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. The TripleSafe sump pump utilizes three pumps in order to remove excess water from the basement. The second and third pumps are in case of emergencies so the basement can remain dry, even when the power goes out. 

Floyd was overjoyed that this problem could finally be fixed. He never has to worry about the hassle of cleaning up after a flood ever again.

SentrySeal Eliminated Water Seepage in Lake City, MI Home

These Lake City, MI homeowner was experiencing water seepage at the footing of one of the walls in the home. In order to seal off the cracks that were allowing water to leak in, we needed to install the SentrySeal system. We first had to remove two feet of soil outside of the problem wall in order to install the SentrySeal membrane around the bottom of the footing to seal the imperfect joint between the wall and footing. This specialized membrane was placed over insulation panels on the wall, which created a tight seal to prevent water from seeping into the home.
