Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

The homeowners in Lansing, MI were noticing water coming into their finished basement through the corners of their walls. Their original sump pump was not removing the water from their home effectively and they did not want the water to damage their floors, walls or belongings.

Our professional team replaced their old sump pump with our SuperSump sump pump. The SuperSump is a full-featured system that includes the best components available. It includes the SuperLiner, which is an airtight lid that looks more attractive, keeps pests out and eliminates safety hazard of an open sump pump. It has a floor drain in case an unforeseen accident puts water on your basement floor. It includes a WaterWatch Alarm, which alerts you if the water level rises above the sump pump intake. It has a cast-iron pump to prevent overheating and burnout. It has a CleanPump pump stand that elevates the sump pump to prevent clogging.  It has a check valve to prevent pumped water from re-entering.  Lastly, it has an improved float valve to ensure long-term performance.  

Amy, who recently purchased her home in Lansing, MI began experiencing water seepage through the stone walls in her crawlspace. She grew extremely concerned and called us to seek professional help. 

We installed our patented CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system in Amy’s crawlspace. The CleanSpace encapsulation product is a 20mm thick plastic lining that completely seals off the crawl space from the elements below. With this encapsulation system in place, Amy must no longer worry about water or cold air entering her crawl space.

Our nearby friend Larry from Lansing, MI was having issues with the wall in his basement bowing outward. With on-going observation, he could tell the wall was continuing to move. Larry became extremely frightened about the walls future and called us in search of professional help. We came to his home and created a solution consisting of five wall anchors. Wall anchors are perfect for returning a wall back to its original position and reinforcing the entire foundation. We stabilized the home with a steel rod that runs from the wall anchor to an anchor placed in the exterior of the home. Once we placed the plates, we had permanently stabilized his basement. With this solution in place, Larry can remain calm knowing his wall will eventually return to its original position.

Dori was having water issues in the basement when the rain was really heavy. The water is coming in from the walls and she didn't know how to stop it. We installed the WaterGuard System which is a French drain that is installed under the floor and collects water that is seeping in. The water collected in the drain is then sent to the sump pump. We also installed the TripleSafe Sump Pump System which provides 3 levels of protection for the homeowners basement. The water that is collects/sent to the sump pump is then dischraged outside the home and keeps the water out!

William noticed water pooling on his basement floor and was sick of running around with towels and a mop. After researching his options online, he called Ayers to learn about our waterproofing solutions. Our specialists visited his home and evaluated his basement to recommend a solution. They decided to install the TripleSafe sump pump, which is designed to react to pump failure, by including two primary pumps and a battery-powered backup in case of power outages. William is happy with his dry basement!
