Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

I’m sure you’ve heard the saying, “Good things come to those who wait”. In some instances that quote may be beneficial, however when you’re knees deep in water and mold is surrounding you in every direction, waiting is the last thing you should do. Instead, you should give us a call. Immediately. 

And that’s exactly what Steven did when he noticed that the longer he waited, the worse his crawl space was getting. Water had begun flooding his crawl space and after time, mold, mildew and other pests followed suit. 

Our team of System Design Specialists devised a plan to save his Mt. Pleasant, Michigan home from deteriorating by encapsulating the area with our state-of-the-art CleanSpace products. 

To ensure the integrity of Steven’s home we started by removing the water and installing CleanSpace Drainage Matting. The matting rests directly on the crawl space floor to trap moisture and direct water to your drainage system. The matting is compatible with all of our crawl space products making it cost efficient and convenient.

We then encapsulate the crawl space with CleanSpace Vapor Barrier Liner. The thick, durable, liner clings to every inch of the crawl space, guaranteeing that mold and unlikely pests stay out. When combined with the SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier, virtually no moisture will be present for years to come. 

Fred and his wife have basement walls that were cracking and starting to bow. There was one crack that went stright across the top and another was a stair step that went from one corner to the next. The bowing has been getting much worse this year and the owners are happy to finally stabilize the walls. We used the CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System to stop further movement in the walls. The system does not require excavation and installs quickly. 

Sometimes, it is not the fault of the home for a high water yield. Often because of where the home is placed, it can be susceptible to flooding. Even with strong working sump pumps there can often be times when the pumps cannot meet the demand.

WaterGuard is a great remedy to this issue. The series of channels are installed into the foundational ground and covered to keep the area sightly. The channels lead the water to an exit port that empties far away from the home.

David was on the hunt for a solution to the water intruding in his basement where the floor and wall met so he called up Ayers. After we completed a thorough inspection in his basement it was settled that our WaterGuard System would take care of the water. The WaterGuard System is a drainage system placed below the basement floor along the perimeter to ensure water is collected here and directed to the sump pump rather than ending up as puddles on the floor. This system is concealed with concrete and once it dries it will blend into the space!

Most homes come equipped with s sump pump. Without these pumps, the access flow of water would have nowhere else to go but stand still and collect on the basement floor. Instead, these pumps divert the water back outside, keeping the inner space safe and dry.

Some homes experience unavoidable flooding and need a reliable pump on standby for when it does. That's why here at Ayers our team uses a TripleSafe pump whenever a new sump pump needs to be installed. The TripleSafe comes with two extra failsafes to ensure the water level never overwork the system. Along with its initial motor, the pump also has a backup motor and batteries on reserve in case of power outages.
