Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Duane and Joy just bought their secondary vacation home in Cadillac, MI and were worried about the humidity in the springtime. The couple wanted a clean start to the home, so they called Ayers Basement Systems for a quote for any waterproofing measures that would be needed. Our crew came out for an inspection, and determined that our TripleSafe sump pump, drainage matting, and Clean Space Wall System would be perfect for their home's crawl space. 

The TripleSafe sump pump system utilizes three pumps in order to remove excess water from the crawl space. The second and third pumps are in case of emergencies so the space can remain dry, even when the power goes out. Drainage matting is a liner for the crawl space that is placed underneath the CleanSpace plastic liner. If the crawl space ever gets wet, the dimpled mat allows water to pass below to the sump pump. CleanSpace Wall System is a moisture barrier that uses a thick plastic liner along crawl space walls to keep them dry and last decades longer. It also has antibacterial properties that prevent mold and bacteria growth. Damp air takes more energy to heat and cool. Cutting down on the moisture in the crawl space, in turn, will cut down on how much it costs to heat or cool the home. 

Duane and Joy were ecstatic with the service and products provided by Ayers. They are grateful for the peace of mind knowing their new home is safe and dry for them and their family. The couple cannot wait to start making new memories together in their Cadillac, MI home. 

After the last storm passed, Robert realized he had standing water in his basement. He knew his old sump pump must have failed and needed it replaced, so he called Ayers for help. Our crew of experts stopped by his home to evaluate the situation and recommended installing TripleSafe. Pump failure is a common problem that TripleSafe strives to combat with a three-in-one system. The first is the primary, followed by a backup and a battery-powered pump in case of outages. Robert loves having a dry basement!

Jesse set his water bottle down, and it rolled to the far side of the room. It had never been this obvious that his living room floor was slanted, so he researched and called Ayers for help. Our crew of experts stopped by his house and evaluated the situation. They recommended installing SmartJacks, a supplemental support system of top-grade floor jacks. Compared to store-bought floor jacks, SmartJacks are zinc-plated, hot dipped in galvanized steel, and placed two feet below the surface to limit load-bearing stress. Jesse loves his level floor!

The homeowners were noticing moisture and a mildew smell coming from their basement. If there is too much moisture in a basement that could lead to mold growth and unpleasant smells circulating throughout your home.

Our team installed the BrightWall paneling system to combat the moisture. The BrightWall system can easily transform ugly, damp basement walls into bright, beautiful walls that never need paint or other maintenance! BrightWall is designed to work with an interior perimeter drainage system. Once installed the panels will direct wall seepage down to the perimeter drain lines that carry water to the sump pump. The sump pump then removes the water from your home!

With expert installation and a seamless finish, David’s home is now brighter, safer, and more functional for years to come.
