Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Due to the heavy rains in South Haven, MI homeowner Ruth R. had water coming into her basement up through the floors. The water was so bad that it had to be moped and dumped out of the basement everyday. That is too much to deal with when there is a perfect solution to the problem! 

Our professional team installed the TripleSafe sump pump to stop this unwanted water from coming in. The TripleSafe is three sump pumps in one giving you triple protection! The first sump pump removes water effectively and efficiently from your home. The second pump is more powerful and has a separate discharge line. The second pump is there for you in the rare occasions that you need it. The third pump is equipped with batteries so it is there for you if the power goes out. The TripleSafe adjusts automatically so you do not have to worry about a thing! 

The before picture shows the water on the basement floor and the after picture shows our TripleSafe sump pump. 

A cusotmer had water leaking into his crawl space causing mold growth, so our team insulated his rim joists. Small cracks and seams can exist around rim joists, but after insulating them all of those cracks are sealed off. Now flow is restricted keeping moisture and unwanted allergens out. 

When we got a call from Randy in South Haven, MI that the concrete around his swimming pool is starting to become unlevel, we knew exactly what we had to do: PolyLevel Injections. The "Before" photo that you see on the left shows a zoomed in photo of one slab of concrete, however there were multiple slabs that were in need of PolyLevel injections. One of the many advantages of our PolyLevel injections is that it is waterproof. Once cured, PolyLevel will not wash away. This is especially important being right beside a pool. Another advantage of our PolyLevel is that it cures extremely fast. Within 15-30 minutes after being raised, it will have already reached at least 90% of its strength, therefore it can be used as it normally would very shortly after the job has been completed.

Mike in South Haven noticed that there was moisture getting into his dirt crawlspace, as well as a little critter running around. After seeing both of these things, Mike knew that it was time to make a call. When we received his phone call, we knew exactly what Mike needed: CleanSpace. Inside the Basement Systems encapsulation system is the CleanSpace liner. This is a plastic liner that is designed to permanently keep away any moisture and air. It is placed completely over the walls and floor, creating a constant blockage to anything outside of it, including critters. This plastic liner comes in handy throughout the winter months because it is designed to block cold drafts. Mike will no longer have to worry about moisture and little critters sneaking into his crawlspace thanks to CleanSpace.

We received a call from Tom in South Haven saying that his driveway has been sinking. After going out to Tom's house and looking at the driveway, we knew that it was in desperate need of some PolyLevel injections. As you can see in the "Before" photo, the driveway is well below its original position.

Our PolyLevel injections harness the expansive force of a structural grade geopolymer to provide fast concrete leveling, fill voids in soil, as well as strengthening soil that has poor load-bearing qualities.

The polymer consists of two separate liquids that are combined right at the injection nozzle to create a chemical reaction that turns the blended ingredients into expanding, high-density foam. The foam then flows into any voids that are present and between loose soil particles, expanding to about 15 times its original volume. This expansive action effectively lifts settled concrete.

One thing that goes over well with our system is that the process is extremely quick. It only takes about 15 minutes to cure, and at that point it’s ready for full loading. So if Tom needed to use his driveway, he would just have to wait about 15 minutes, and after that the polylevel is cured and the driveway is ready to handly any type of weight.
