Foundation Repair, Waterproofing & Concrete Solutions for Detroit Homeowners

Your home is one of your biggest investments, and protecting it is especially important in a city like Detroit and the surrounding suburbs, where homes often come with a rich history and character, but also face challenges such as water intrusion, foundation settlement, and aging crawl spaces. At Ayers Basement Systems, we walk alongside homeowners in Detroit, Troy, Warren, Sterling Heights, Dearborn, Livonia, and beyond, delivering permanent solutions in foundation repair, basement waterproofing, crawl space encapsulation, egress windows, and concrete repair.



Detroit Foundation and Floor Support: Dainna’s Story
Dainna inherited her family home near Hamtramck and Highland Park, a house her parents had owned for decades. While the home meant a great deal to her, she was preparing to sell in the coming years and wanted to ensure it was structurally sound. Her basement showed signs of trouble, including a crumbling brick foundation, moisture intrusion in the basement, and sagging, uneven floors.

With budget being a top concern, Dainna appreciated that Ayers worked with her to right-size the project. We created a complete plan for Detroit foundation repair and basement waterproofing, then broke it down into manageable steps that prioritized her most urgent needs, starting with stabilizing her floors through professional floor support and crawl space repair solutions

Crawl Space Solutions Installed for Dainna:
• SmartJacks® Adjustable steel posts that stabilize and level sagging floors.
• Supplemental Beam Added to reinforce the floor system for long-term strength.

Now, her floors are supported, and her home is on track to be safe and market-ready for the next family that will love it.



Detroit Basement Waterproofing in Palmer Park: Beverly’s Historic Home
Beverly lives in a 102-year-old home in Palmer Park, near the University District and Detroit Golf Club. For months, she had noticed mold forming at the base of her basement walls and water seeping into her Detroit basement. With no sump pump in place, moisture was taking a toll on her finished space. We designed a basement waterproofing solution to protect her home from water intrusion permanently, keep her finished basement dry, and preserve the historic charm of her house, eliminating musty smells and mold.

Solutions Installed for Beverly's Detroit Home:
• WaterGuard® French Drain System Collects water at the wall-floor joint before it can seep into living areas.
• TripleSafe® Sump Pump A high-capacity sump system with three pumps for ultimate peace of mind.
• IceGuard® Discharge Line Protection Prevents backups even during Michigan’s harsh freezes.

Now Beverly’s basement is dry, her air quality is better, and her century-old home is ready for the next 100 years.



Detroit Concrete Leveling & Foundation Repair: Melissa’s Home
Melissa was planning her retirement in Southfield, MI, and wanted to enjoy a stress-free life in her home. But her garage foundation and driveway concrete had become unsafe due to settlement, tree root damage, and cracks. She couldn’t even use her garage safely. We designed a plan for Detroit-area garage foundation repair and concrete leveling that stabilized her garage, lifted her uneven driveway, and restored her concrete surfaces, allowing her to move into retirement with confidence.

Solutions Installed for Melissa's Southfield Home:
• Shotcrete Spray Concrete Strengthened deteriorated concrete around the garage foundation.
• Helical Piers Installed around the garage foundation to stabilize and lift it back into place.
• PolyLevel® High-density foam injection used to lift and level the settled garage slab.
• NexusPro® Concrete Crack Repair Long-lasting sealant to protect driveway cracks from water and further damage.

Melissa can now enjoy her retirement with peace of mind, knowing her garage and driveway are safe and usable again.
