Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

The homeowners in Mio, MI ran into some trouble when a heavy rain flooded their walk-in basement. They could not figure out where the water was coming from and they had no sump pump.

Our professional team took action and installed a SuperSump sump pump into the homeowner's basement. The SuperSump sump pump is a full-featured system that includes the best components available. The SuperSump removes water from the basement into a drainage system that takes the water outside your home. It includes the SuperLiner, which is an airtight lid that looks more attractive, keeps pests out and eliminates safety hazards of an open sump pump. The product also has a floor drain in case an unforeseen accident puts water on your basement floor. It includes a WaterWatch Alarm, which alerts the homeowner if the water level rises above the sump pump intake.  The SuperSump also includes a check valve to prevent pumped water from re-entering the home. 

The SuperSump sump pump can now allow the homeowners to stop worrying about their basement flooding! 

Kareen and her son want to get her home in tip top shape so if they need to sell in the next couple years, all the issues are taken care of. There has been water coming into her partially finished basement where the walls and floors meet as well as from the wall itself. There were cracks outside of the home on the foundation wall and some inside where the water was leaking through. We used PowerBraces to keeps the cracks from getting larger and to help return the wall to the original position. We then installed the WaterGuard Below Floor Drain to collect any water that seeps in and sends it to the sump pump that Kareen already had in her basement so the water could be discharged outside the home. 

Barry was having trouble with mold and cold temperatures in his crawl space. This indicates that Barry's' space is not energy efficient and susceptible to outside elements. As a remedy, our team installed CleanSpace. CleanSpace is 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. It is applied to the floors and walls to create that uninterrupted barrier to restrict air movement and control the temperature in the crawl space. With CleanSpace, Barry won't have to worry about high energy bills or any mold in his crawl space. 

Roseanne's basement has a block foundation with paneling on the walls. Water damage had caused one section of the wall to begin crumbing onto the floor from behind the paneling. She called Ayers Basement Systems for an inspection and our crew determined that Roseanne would need WaterGuard and a TripleSafe sump pump with IceGuard and an exterior discharge line to waterproof her basement and prevent further damage.  

WaterGuard is a sub-floor waterproofing system that collects water that leaks through the walls and keeps dirt away from the foundation. It is installed along the perimeter of the basement and on top of the footing of the foundation. Concrete is poured on top and regular flooring can be placed on top. The TripleSafe sump pump system utilizes three pumps to remove excess water from the basement. The second and third pumps are in case of emergencies so the basement can remain dry, even when the power goes out. IceGuard is a simple addition to your already existing sump pump. It allows water to escape when the discharge line is frozen and prevents your basement flooding in cold weather. IceGuard is completely automatic, meaning after the initial installation, it’s done. Finally, an exterior discharge line is a drain installed leading to the low point of the property, sending water away from the home. Since the system is inside, there’s no dirt to clog it up and water is discharged effectively via the sump pump. 

Roseanne was thrilled with the work done by Ayers and the professionalism of the crew. She was so excited to get her peace of mind back regarding her home. It was great feeling like she was safe and sound again in her own home now that the foundation wouldn’t continue to crumble.

Robert realized water leaked into his basement after the last snowstorm around the seams of the floor and walls. He wasn't sure how to fix the issue, so he researched his options and called Ayers for help. Our specialists stopped by his home to assess the problem and suggest a solution. They recommended and installed WaterGuard, an advanced drainage pipe system designed to prevent clogging by sitting above the home's footing rather than alongside it. Robert loves his dry basement!
