Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Bob knew he had water problems in his basement but wasn't sure how to fix it. After the last storm, water leaked onto the floor and pooled in the middle. He couldn't tolerate standing water, so he called Ayers for help. A team of experts stopped by his home and recommended installing the TripleSafe sump pump. TripleSafe consists of three pumps: a primary, a backup, and a battery-powered pump for power outages. Bob is relieved to have a dry basement!

Darlene and her daughter, Carol, recently moved into a new home in Haslett, MI. After purchasing the house, they noticed some concrete areas dipped, and some ledges looked like tripping hazards. They called Ayers because they were concerned about the tripping hazards, especially Darlene's risk of falling. Carol was worried that she might be away at work for the day and her mom could trip without anyone there to help her. Instead of waiting for an accident, Carol turned to Ayers to provide a permanent solution to lift and level their concrete sidewalks so they wouldn't have to worry about it again. After using Ayers' PolyLevel and NexusPro technology, we could lift and level their concrete and seal the joints to withstand harsh weather conditions. Darlene and Carol can now fully enjoy their new home and feel safe walking on the sidewalk without worrying about falling.

The back wall of this Laingsburg, MI garage was starting to crumble. Resting on a hill, this rental property had several horizontal and vertical cracks running through it caused by expanding soil putting pressure on the walls. When walls begin to push inward due to lateral pressure, they’re referred to as bowing.

The steel beams in the after photo are a part of the PowerBrace Wall Repair System. By attaching the beams to the ceiling with a bolt attachment and bracketing them to the floor, the beams are able to push back against the wall and straighten it to its original position. Once installed, the beams can be tightened at a later date to continue to improve wall conditions. Now, any pressure put on the walls will no longer threaten the foundation.

The basement in the before photo had just been redone to stop water from leaking into the finished area. The owners wanted to complete the repairs by giving the basement a window that would highlight the finished features. As you can see in the before photo, the old window was barely visible from the outside and certainly didn’t offer a lot of sunlight on the inside. The window in the after photo is our egress replacement window. Our crew had to excavate the soil to make room for the window and its accompanying well. The larger window will allow more light to enter the basement while the well protects it from water and the elements, so leaks like before won't happen again. Note: the soil around the well was filled back in before the installation was completed.

This driveway in Laingsburg, Michigan wsa not level which made it hard to drive on. So, we solved the problem quickly with our PolyLevel technology. PolyLevel is a modern way to lift concrete that results in a more permanent result. It is done by a super tiny injection into the concrete that lifts it up and supports it better than ever before. This driveway is now smooth as silk.
