Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

No one wants a wet basement -- this Blanchard, MI family agreed with us. Upon our professional inspection, we recommended our SuperSump sump pump to help solve their water problem. SuperSump is specifically designed to keep your basement dry for long periods of time, and is capable of pumping 2,220 gallons of water per hour. Water doesn't stand a chance.

 This home in Blanchard, MI was over 100 years old, and the basement looked like it. With a mixed stone and brick walled foundation and a dirt floor, the space was letting in some water, and was far from inviting. The homeowners contacted us to waterproof the space and make it a more pleasant area.

We first addressed the sloped wall in the basement and stabilized and smoothed it with Shotcrete. Shotcrete is concrete that is applied by spraying it through a high pressure hose. This reinforces that wall and provides stability, while also creating a nice smooth surface.

Next, we installed a perimeter drainage system connected to a sump pump in the basement. This allows water to be collected and then rerouted to the SuperSump so that water can be pumped out of the basement. The final step of adding a poured concrete floor dramatically improves this space and makes it more functional and more inviting.

We received a call from a homeowner in Lakeview who had problems with wet basement walls. She didn't know what to do so she gave us a call. We drove to her house and installed WaterGuard. WaterGuard is a pipe that runs water underneath the floors. This system runs on top of the footing instead of alongside it. The WaterGuard has a big drain outlet to the sump. It also has a built in tiny gap between the floor and the wall so that it can drain any wall leaks. This system is designed not to clog by having holes in case of debris clogging the pipe. The WaterGuard collects the water from drains in the basement.

Does your home have a crawlspace? And does that crawlspace seem safe? Well this Lakeview home had a very unsafe crawlspace, so the homeowner gave us a call. We came to their home and fully insulated their crawlspace from the outside environment. CleanSpace is the ultimate insulating technology. CleanSpace is a 20 mil thick plastic liner that fits to the crawl space to completely seal the home from the earth. Polyester cord reinforcement allows for a lot of durability, to make it last longer than the home will. This liner also contains an antimicrobial additive to prevent mold. Now this homeowner's crawlspace is so much safer and will improve his health and his energy bill.

Mold and mildew was growing in Charles and Diane’s crawl space due to heavy moisture. Our team installed CleanSpace in their crawlspace to prevent more moisture from entering. CleanSpace is a plastic sheet material used as a vapor barrier to restrict all moisture, outside air, and pests from entering your crawl space. Not only does this system create an energy-efficient crawl space, but it also gives your crawl space a clean finish. This material will be applied to your floors and walls to create a sleek look and an uninterrupted barrier. Due to the CleanSpace installation no more mold or mildew can grow because moisture can no longer enter the crawl space.
