Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

We received a call from these South Haven MI, residents saying that they were having flooding issues in their basement pretty frequently. After going out for our free inspection and assessing their situation, we decided the best course of action was to install our WaterGuard Below Floor Drain.

Our WaterGuard is an interior waterproofing system that is more efficient and lasts much longer than other perimeter systems. Unlike other systems where it is placed alongside of the footing, WaterGuard is placed on top of the footing. This is important because now since it’s on top, mud will not get in the drain and clog it simply because the drain is not sitting in the mud.

The WaterGuard system collects water that seeps through basement walls and drains it to your sump pump. The system installs quickly and has a clean finished appearance, meaning you don't have to worry about having an unsightly drain around the basement.

Crawlspace protection is important and often mislooked by homeowners. To fully protect your crawlspace, Ayers recommends the combination of CleanSpace and a SaniDry dehumidifier to create a healthy environment for your crawlspace. The CleanSpace vapor barrier (white) blocks moisture coming in through the foundation while the SaniDry (not pictured) takes the moisture out of the air to prevent wood rot, mold growth and musty smells.  Together, these additions create an effective environment that will save energy bills as well as keep your home and you healthy.  

Kens unfinished basement had some drains in the floor but water keeps backing up, causing standing water. We installed the WaterGuard system which is a French drain system under the floor. The drain collects the water in the basement and sends it to the sump pump to be expelled outside the home. We also installed the TripleSafe Sump Pump System which provides 3 levels of protection to the basement in case of a power outage or pump malfunction.

After years of living with a damp basement, long-time South Haven, MI resident, Rosy B., decided to contact Ayers Basement Systems to assist in a very needed transformation. To complete Rosy’s crawl space, we began by encapsulating it with the CleanSpace encapsulation system. The CleanSpace Liner is made out of a thick, durable vapor barrier that is designed to keep moisture, mold, and pests out. 

Next, we installed a SuperSump pump. The SuperSump’s powerful cast-iron sump pump is capable of pumping 2,500 gallons of water per hour and protects your home from flooding. In addition, we installed an IceGuard system that ensures Rosy’s SuperSump will continue working even during harsh Michigan winters.

Alena's floors were sagging and her foundation was settling. She only has a crawl space under her main floor, no basement. Due to the moisture and soils in your crawl space floors above crawl spaces are vulnerable. So our team installed SmartJack, a system produced to halt your sagging floors. Floors above crawl spaces are vulnerable due to the moisture and soils in your crawl space. The Smart Jack system is a permanent fix to these issues. It uses steel columns, threaded rods and a solid base to address any issues your crawl space may introduce to your floors. Installing this system usually takes less than a day and it provides immediate stabilization.
