Ingham County, MI Local Foundation Repair, Concrete Leveling & Waterproofing

East Lansing, MI resident, Donald has lived in his home for about three years. Within the past year he started noticing that water was leaking into the basement.  With intentions to live in this home for another 15 years or so, Donald decided to contact Ayers in hopes to solve this problem. 

The installation crew arrived just a few short days later to complete the job.  The crew installed CleanSpace, a SuperSump, and an UltraSump.  The number one reason for basement flooding is due to sump pump failure. The UltraSump backup battery will kick on in the event that the main pump fails for whatever reason, preventing a possible wet basement in the future. Donald was more than satisfied with the work that Ayers did to his basement and now he no longer has to live in fear of a wet basement.  

Carol’s basement in her building had cracks in the walls and water was starting to leak in. It was a clutter, damp space and the foundation was settling. She quickly called upon Ayers Basement Systems to help her excavate the water in her basement and waterproof it.

Ayers Basement Systems installed Canyon Beige basement finishing floor tiles with a section of Parquet Tiles and finished the job with BrightWall basement wall paneling to keep the space dry and bright. They also finished the ceiling to complete the whole project.

Overall, the basement was turned into a dry, usable space that Carol is able to utilize for whatever she pleases. Her basement waterproofing job was also completed in just one day, leaving her with no time constraints on being able to use her basement.

Mark had significant water coming into his basement. He scheduled an appointment with sales representative, Phil K. from Ayers Basement Systems to have his leaky basement fixed.

Ayers was able to install a 4" IceGuard and LawnScape Outlet for his basement sump pump with a brand new lid and discharge line. This effectively drained the water from his basement to the discharge line outside, keeping him protected from water damage in the future.

The waterproofing job was completed in one day, with a lasting solution to a dry, healthy, usable basement.

"I bought a house two years ago," Jonathan said. "And the biggest problem is the poorly built crawl space. I'm not in a hurry, just figuring out how much it's going to cost me to deal with this."

For something you barely ever see, crawl spaces have quite the ability to wreak havoc on our lives. And this one was quite a piece of work, as poorly built as Jonathan said. Although he had originally said he was in no hurry, after having one of our System Design Specialists out to assess the problem, he decided to go ahead and schedule the work and get it off of his plate and his mind.

We had to do a ton of debris removal in the space, as you can see from the attached photo. After we were working with a level surface, we installed not only the trusted CleanSpace vapor barrier system, but also two new sump pumps to take care of the ambient moisture problems and an EverLast crawl space door to seal the space from the elements outside.

Sometimes taking the first step to solve a problem ends up being the only step you need. 

Art called during that February thaw we had in Lansing, realizing that every time it rained or the snow melted, one corner of his basement was flooding. 

We installed WaterGuard on the affected side of the house, including marking out a space to install a sump pump in the future if the basement needed it and the homeowner decided to upgrade. Thinking ahead like this helps us avoid extra work and headaches later, so all he'll have to do is call us and the plans are already in place.

It's a good thing Art took care of the problem when he did, with all of the snowstorms and subsequent thaws we've had since February.

Jon had given us a call last year about his repeatedly flooding basement. The flooding wasn’t a surprise, especially when you consider that the flooring of the old house was cracking so much there were spots where Jon could see tree roots and dirt. After meeting with one of our system design specialists, Jon decided to wait and see if he could solve the problem on his own. When the water issues showed no sign of going away, Jon knew he needed to ask for help.

Our system design specialist took another trip out to Grand Rapids, MI and immediately saw that the current solution – an old floor drain - wasn’t going to cut it. Water that leaks down walls will usually puddle at the floor and wall joints and Jon had even seen mold growing there. Our solution to this is to install a perimeter drainage system in that exact spot. One small difference between Jon’s basement and many of our other perimeter system projects was that he had a monolithic floor, meaning the most efficient way to capture that water was with an above floor system. Our DryTrak perimeter system is exactly that. The system sits above ground, and once water is captured into the pipes, it will be directed to Jon’s new SuperSump for discharge. The SuperSump system is one of our most reliable sump pump systems and will discharge the water at a safe distance away from the foundation through a lawnscape outlet.

Jon was very pleased to finally have his basement dry and protected. 

Maria and Monell from Lansing, MI gave us a call because they had been dealing with basement issues. Other than the wet basement floor, their home was dealing with a unique problem: each room was a different temperature. All in all, Maria and Monell were looking for both a waterproofing and an energy efficiency solution.

First up for the crew was tackling the water issue on the basement floor. Maria and Monell weren’t able to locate the source of the leak when they checked the basement themselves, but they could see water puddling. Our system design specialist knows all the typical spots of water leakage and was able to determine that the water was leaking in through the walls. The typical solution for this is a perimeter drainage system that will sit in the floor and wall joint and collect water. Once inside of the drainage system, the water needs a place to go for discharge. In this case, it’s our most reliable sump pump system, the TripleSafe sump, which the crew installed. The crew was able to trace the cause of the temperature differences to humidity, most likely from the moisture leaking in.  Our SaniDry XP dehumidifier operates in temperatures much lower than most dehumidifiers, meaning it can continue to manage and control moisture when other systems could not. With better control over humidity comes better control over temperature. Thanks to the wide range of the SaniDry the temperatures of these rooms won’t only be even, they’ll be ideal. 

After Bob noticed a few cracks and a little water on his walls where the discharge line exited the basement, he started to get concerned about his sump pump system. He knew that the system ran to the front to his home and thought there was a possibility that the line had disconnected. To put his mind at ease, he asked if one of the crews could come out to East Lansing, MI, dig up the line, and check it out.

The crew was more than happy to be of service. Luckily, the excavation revealed no problems with the sump or the line. Unfortunately, that meant something else would have to be done to help Bob out. For smaller interior wall cracks like these, we’ve found that the best solution is our FlexiSpan Sealant System. The two-layer sealant works by first plugging up the crack and then providing a drainage route for any water that does penetrate the seal. Bob doesn’t need to worry about the drainage, though. Before the FlexiSpan polymer was used, the crew installed a drainage system at the foot of the wall, underneath the foundation floor. Any leakage that does happen will take place behind the second layer of FlexiSpan and will enter into the drainage system out of sight.  Bob’s leaky crack problem is now a thing of the past.

When Deb and Craig saw that their garage floor was settling, they were immediately concerned. Of course, for their sinking garage but more for the home’s foundation that was resting on the soil nearby. Since the house was only 18 years old, they weren’t expecting or prepared for any major foundation issues. Hoping to find out once and for all if their home was slipping away, the couple gave us a call asking for an inspection and quote.

After taking a trip to Schoolcraft, MI and looking around the area, our system design specialist informed Craig and Deb that home was safe. The settling soil hadn’t affected their foundation. Unfortunately, they were still in no position to celebrate. After all, their garage was sinking away and the inspection revealed another problem. The slope of their concrete slabs was pushing water into the garage under the door. Luckily, our PolyLevel system could be used to treat both of these problems with just one installation. Injecting the waterproof foam under the concrete raised the slabs back to their original height and create a much more stable base that won’t sink away again. After slightly adjusting the height of the garage floor to guarantee that water flowed back down towards the outside of Craig and Deb’s garage, the crew installed a trench drain across the opening to the garage. Any ice that melts or rain water that flows down the gutters will be directed into the drain before it has a chance to reach the inside of the garage. With a leveled garage and a drainage system in place, Craig and Deb’s home shouldn’t have to worry about waterproofing or foundation work again.

Matt was regularly dealing with 2 or 3 inches of water flooding his crawl space. Water was even puddling in the East Lansing, MI property during the dry season. When he first purchased the house, the inspector had mentioned looking into installing a basement sump pump. Tired of dealing with the constant floods, Matt gave us a call to follow up on that suggestion.

The cement crawl space was turning into a giant tank. Water would flow in through the cracks and fill up the space because there was nowhere else to go. That made providing a place of escape the biggest concern for the crew. They agreed with the original inspector that the home needed a sump pump and installed the ever reliable SuperSump to discharge the water. They even included a water watch alarm for Matt, designed to keep him from playing the guessing game by alerting him if there is ever water in the crawl space. A newly installed drainage matting will make sure that water doesn’t have the chance to puddle up and will direct the flow of any leakage to the SuperSump for discharge.

Thanks to a great job by the Ayers crew, Matt won’t have to worry about crawl space floods again.

Colleen recently noticed that her Lansing, MI home had water coming through the basement walls and her floor was damp. She gave us a call to hear about her options, and we sent out a system design specialist to help her out.

The most efficient fix for leaking walls in multiple places is a perimeter drainage system. Once in place, the system will collect any water that leaks down the walls and discharge it outside. When our crew arrived, they found out that there would need to be a slight tweak to the perimeter drainage system. For most basement perimeter systems, we use the below ground WaterGuard system. However, since Colleen’s floor was monolithic (the footing and floor were poured together), attempting to install a WaterGuard system would be lengthy and create quite a mess. Instead, they put in a DryTrak system, which is a perimeter drainage system that sits above the floor but acts the same way. The system was then connected to a newly installed SuperSump. It’s one of our most reliable sump pump systems, capable of discharging over 2,000 gallons of water an hour. Colleen’s basement is now permanently protected from leaks and dampness.

This East Lansing, MI homeowner gave us a call after he noticed that water was puddling on the floor of his basement. Ali, the owner, was eager to repair the leaks and solve the issue. The only problem was the existing wall finish hid the cracks, so he didn’t know where to begin.

Our crew was willing to do whatever it would take to fix Ali’s problem. Since the cracks couldn’t be found, they installed a WaterGuard perimeter drainage system that would collect water no matter where it was leaking in. WaterGuard sits under the footing of the foundation, so any water that would normally puddle on the floor will enter the system instead. The crew also connected the drainage system to a TripleSafe sump pump. The TripleSafe is our most reliable model, so Ali won’t have to worry no matter how much water comes leaking into the basement.

Carol’s basement was a disaster. It was damp, smelly,  and she was pretty sure she there was mold down there, as well. It had become too much to deal with. Not that anyone wants to live above a moldy basement, but Carol’s grandchildren would regularly visit the home, and the last thing she wanted was for the mold to affect them, too. She originally called us back in September of last year for a solution but decided to back out before the installation took place. After a few months passed and the basement’s conditions continued to worsen, she knew that she had to do something about the problem.

One of our system design specialist met with Carol at her Lansing, MI home and spent the day going over the possible solutions to eradicate the mold from her home and keep it out. What they settled on was a full waterproofing system. The system would include DryTrak, a perimeter drainage system, to collect water that ran through the cracks, the very reliable SuperSump sump pump system to discharge water, and lastly, an IceGuard protective shield and lawnscape outlet to give the water somewhere to go. The water that was causing the dampness and mold in the basement was leaking through Carol’s walls and then flowing down to the floor. DryTrak sits around the perimeter of the basement and will catch any water that follows this pattern. Once water is in the system, it will flow to the SuperSump, capable of discharging over 2,000 gallons of water per hour, and be pumped out. As the water flows through the discharge line, it will have 2 options for disposal. The goal is for all water to make it to Carol’s lawnscape outlet and be deposited into the yard. But if the lines freeze over during one of those Michigan winters, the IceGuard protective shield will spray the water away from the foundation as soon as it exits the basement. The complete system took two days to install, but it will protect Carol and her grandchildren for years to come. 

Victoria’s basement windows had been leaking water down to her carpet floor. Water can dampen and destroy carpet floors, sometimes even causing mold. All the damage couldn’t be traced back to the windows, though. The poured concrete walls below the windows were also leaking. Our system design specialist went out to Lansing, MI to create a plan that would help do away with Victoria’s leaking water and protect her finished basement.

First up for the crew was cutting away the damaged and leaky drywall. Once the crew had access to the drywall, they attached the ducts to the wall below the windows. The ducts will then funnel the leaking water to the drainage system below the foundation floor. For the other cracks in the walls, the crew installed our FlexiSpan system. With two flexible layers of polyurethane that stand up to water, wall leaks won’t threaten Victoria’s home anymore. The first layer plugs up the leaks and the other creates a drainage layer that leads to the perimeter drainage system just like the window well duct. The perimeter drainage system the crew used was our WaterGuard. It sits in the floor and wall joint around the entire basement and collects any water that runs down. Once all of the water is in the WaterGuard system, it will then be pumped out by one of our most reliable sump pump systems, the SuperSump. Victoria’s finished basement is now fully protected from leaks and floods.

Not long ago, Karen and Raymond began getting whiffs of a strong smell whenever they went into their basement. Eventually, they were able to trace the smell to their crawl space. Karen and Raymond knew that it was pretty common for crawl spaces to omit strange smells, so they weren’t overly concerned. But soon enough, they discovered the smell was rising upstairs. It became even worse whenever they turned on the air or heat. The ventilation systems would push the musty smell upstairs. Essentially, their options were to live without air and heat or embrace a house that smelled like a gym. Desperate for an alternative, they gave us a call.

Raymond and Karen made a good choice. Our crews deal with musty crawl spaces all the time and knew exactly how to handle the problem. Most smelly crawl spaces can be traced back to unwanted moisture and humidity. Raymond and Karen were at a high risk of this already because their crawl space had a dirt floor and porous block walls. The moisture was the crew’s first concern. To dispose of any water that may leak in, the crew installed a SmartSump. The SmartSump system is the perfect sump pump option for crawl spaces. It is small enough to be installed without a hassle, but it contains a pump capable of draining 2,500 gallons of water per hour. While the pump will push out water, the goal for Raymond and Karen was to keep water from coming in at all. The CleanSpace moisture barrier will keep out moisture that tries to enter through the floor or walls. Lastly, the crew tackled the humidity issue. With the addition a SaniDry CX dehumidifier and a FrothPak seal around the rim of the crawl space, humid air won’t be welcome in this crawl space.

Raymond and Karen’s crawl space is now smell free and fully protected.

When Jann had a perimeter drainage system put into her East Lansing, MI basement back in the 90s, she thought she would never have to deal with water issues again. As the years progressed, it seemed like she was right. But after some heavy rainstorms a few months back, the basement started leaking ground water through the walls and floor. To make matters worse, the company who originally installed the perimeter system had gone out of business and wouldn’t be able to troubleshoot the issue. With nowhere else to turn, Jann sought out help from the basement waterproofing experts.

After our system design specialist explored Jann’s basement, he found that the problem wasn’t as bad as she originally thought. Only one wall had leaked during the storms, and the crew wouldn’t need to replace the entire perimeter system, only about 30 feet of it. For the leaking wall, the crew installed our BrightWall system. The BrightWall panels were snapped in front of the old wall, and due to their rigid plastic material, they won’t be affected by rains or leaking water. In fact, the leaking water will flow down the walls behind the panel and into the perimeter drainage system at the foot of the wall. Neither Jann nor anyone else in the basement will have any idea that the wall is leaking. The crew upgraded the previous perimeter system to the WaterGuard drainage system. WaterGuard behaves like most drainage systems, but the crew included several inspection ports to go along with it. If the WaterGuard ever begins to act up like Jann’s previous systems, she can use the inspection ports to find and solve the problem quickly.

Jann’s new waterproof system will keep her basement safe for years to come. 

Steve had noticed water seeping in through the floor of his basement. Once it seeped in, the water would typically flow to the perimeter of the room around the edges. To go along with the leaking floor, the windows had also started leaking and causing problems. Hoping for a complete basement waterproofing, Steve turned to Ayers for help.

The first step to waterproofing the basement was the installation of a perimeter drainage system, WaterGuard. The WaterGuard system was placed in the joint where the floor and wall meet to collect the water as it rushes to the edges of Steve's basement. To install WaterGuard, the crew excavated the foundation floor and made room for the system. Since part of the concrete was already excavated, the crew also took the time to install our most reliable sump pump - the TripleSafe system. The system features two different backup pumps that will keep out all running water. With the floor leaks handled, they moved on to replacing the leaking windows. They added in new glass block windows and used our EverLast waterproof frames to fully protect them. The frames and the glass block will work together to ensure that water never leaks through the windows again. Steve's basement is now fully protected from the floor to the ceiling.

Mike had a considerable amount of water coming into his basement. He had so much water that it created a stream from one side to the other. The water had a way of eventually flowing into his sump pump. His hope, however, was that he could get the water to the sump pump without the stream. That's when he called Ayers to come take a look.

The situation was just as Mike described when one of our system design specialists came by to check it out. Fortunately, we had an easy solution. Our WaterGuard perimeter drainage system could collect that water along the base of the wall and direct it to the sump pump, all without being noticed or even seen. The WaterGuard system sits on the home's footing beneath the concrete and only needed to be installed along the problem wall and along the wall leading to the sump pump. We started by removing a small area of concrete in these areas. The drainage system was put in place, covered with stone, and then the concrete was replaced, all aside from a small gap at the base of the wall where the Waterguard creates that opening to collect water. In addition to helping stop the stream of water through the basement, we wanted to make sure that the basement would continue to stay dry all the time, meaning even when the power went out. We were speaking Mike's language when we suggested adding an Ultra Sump system at the same time. The Ultra Sump is a battery operated pump that will kick on when the power goes out to make sure that Mike doesn't end up with any more streams, ponds, lakes, or anything of the sort in the basement in the years to come. We enjoyed working with Mike to help solve his problem for good. He gained some usable space in only one day of work.

Many years after waterproofing this basement, we got a call to add a little extra oomph before our customers put the house on the market. One section of the basement seemed to be taking longer to drain water from than the rest, which can happen when a basement has multiple low spots or the foundation settles to create such spots. 

We installed a SuperSump sump pump in the affected area, along with IceGuard and a Lawnscape outlet on the discharge line, to add some extra power to the basement's draining capability.

If you've ever bought or sold a home, you know there's a ten day inspection period in which the buyer gets any needed inspections in order to address problems and decide whether or not to proceed with the purchase. We often receive calls when a wet basement is discovered in this inspection period, and we make sure to get someone to the house in the required timeframe.

This home's basement was huge - and wet. We installed over 200 feet of WaterGuard below-floor drain to collect the water and keep it from flooding the basement, and tied in two SuperSump sump pumps to actively discharge that water. IceGuard, which keeps water from backing up in the event of a frozen discharge line in the winter, and Lawnscape outlets, which allow the water to discharge from a buried line for convenience, were installed on both pumps' discharge lines..

Jenna called about her basement. She told us that they were experiencing significant water issues since they had moved into their home six years ago. Whenever there were heavy rains or thawing, standing water became present in the basement. There was no sump pump to drain the water. The walls were dry so the water seemed to be coming in at the base of the walls. The answer for Jenna was a WaterGuard drainage system. WaterGuard is a french drain system that is installed below the slab along the perimeter of the basement. The system creates a small gap at the base of the walls allowing water to enter the system and direct it to a sump pump system which we also installed to remove the water from the home. Now Jenna is protected from the water that had been plaguing them for years and she can enjoy the sound of summer rain rather than stressing out over it. 

Margaret had water coming into her basement. The walls were covered with a white moisture blocking paint but it seemed like everywhere you looked, the white walls were stained along the bottom couple of feet from water intrusion despite the barrier. In one corner the paint was bubbling and falling off the wall, leaving paint flakes scattered all over the floor. Margaret needed a reliable solution. What we were able to do for her for no small transformation. Along the perimeter walls, we installed our WaterGuard drainage system by removing some concrete at the base of the walls to expose the footer. The drain sits right on the footer where it's able to collect moisture from wall cracks or from the seam between the walls and the floor where moisture commonly enters. Concrete was replaced over top of the drain so that it almost wasn't even noticeable. The drain directs water to her new TripleSafe sump pump which has a series of 3 pumps. One pump handles most of the work. A second pump acts as a backup to that pump. A third pump operates on a battery backup in the event of a power outage. Finally, Margaret opted to add a SaniDry XP dehumidifier to remove harmful water vapors from the air, improving the quality of the air she is breathing and preventing the growth of mold. Her basement is thoroughly protected and she will no longer have to worry about unreliable and inconsistent diy repairs.

Sheila K. has a 1960 home built with block wall foundation. Her basement is finished and an unfortunate water leak coming from one of her walls had been happening for about a year. The leak was coming in through the foundation wall creating several puddles of water on the tile floor. The home has a sump pump, although water was still an issue.  Sheila was looking for a way to waterproof her basement before the problem worsens. 

To begin this installation, we needed to install the WaterGuard French Drain System. We first excavated parts of the floor a few inches away from the walls. A specialized pipe was then placed in the trench and the remaining space was filled with crushed stone. The system was then covered with poured concrete to restore the floor, leaving about an inch of the system closest to the wall uncovered to allow water to enter the pipes. A WaterGuard inspection port was also installed to give us easy access to the system if needed for any reason.

Next, we needed to update the sump pump the home currently had. To do this we installed the SuperSump liner that will ensure water is properly collected from the WaterGuard system and will prevent the pump from clogging with dirt and other debris. We also installed the UltraSump back up battery to the sump pump that will automatically begin pumping water out of the home even if the power goes out.

This project left Sheila with a fully protected house she never has to worry about.

This East Lansing basement was covered with water after a large snowmelt. Without an effective system to gather intruding water and filter it outside of the home, the problem would continue to persist and cause problems for the homeowner. 

In order to collect water that was entering the home we installed the WaterGuard system. For this installation we excavated the flooring around the perimeter of the basement in order to place piping. These pipes work protect the home from water intrusion by collecting incoming water and directing it into the sump pump to be discarded outside of the home. The remaining area left in the dug out trench was filled with crushed stone and then cement was poured over top of the system to restore the floors, leaving a small section of the system uncovered to allow water to enter. The WaterGuard inspection port was used for this project as well in order to give the homeowner and our team access to system if needed.

Next we installed a SuperSump sump pump for the water to drain into. This sump pump has an effective Zoeller pump to efficiently discharge water outside of the home and a sturdy liner with holes that accept water from the ground and from the WaterGuard System. 

Lastly, we installed IceGuard and a LawnScape outlet to ensure water from the sump pump leaves the home effectively. We installed the IceGuard system on the home’s discharge line to make sure water can leave the home even if the pipes are frozen. The specialized holes on the system help water flow out automatically to prevent it from re-entering the home and causing a flood. The LawnScape outlet was installed underneath the ground to lead water away from the property. This product ensures water will not flow back toward the home and cause further issues. 

Jean S. from Lansing, MI used to deal with her basement leaking when it rained. This can lead to mold growth in the basement and humidity downstairs as well as upstairs.

Our solution? Well, we first started by installing our WaterGuard French drain system. WaterGuard rests below the floor and above the foundation footing, collecting water that comes in through the walls. WaterGuard then directs the water to the sump pump. 

After that, we installed our patented TripleSafe sump pump system. TripleSafe provides three levels of protection against water leakage. Normal water supply, heavy volumes of water, or in the case of a power outage, this sump pump will keep a basement dry.

Herschel R. from Lansing, MI had his basement fully finished -- or so he thought. He noticed mold and mildew in one corner of the basement. He holds weekly pool games in the basement and he wanted to resolve the problem so he could continue to hold pool games at his home. Another company has done work at his home in the past but he was very dissatisfied with them.

We first installed our patented WaterGuard French drain system. WaterGuard rests below the basement floor and above the foundation footing, collecting water that seeps in through the walls. WaterGuard then redirects the water to the basement's sump pump. 

Following that, we installed our EverLast finished wall restoration system. EverLast adds insulation to the basement and works perfectly with WaterGuard, keeping the basement a dry, clean, finished environment.

Richard M. from Lansing, MI had water and mold issues in his basement before he called us. These things can be very bad for a home -- sticking doors and windows and an increased chance to develop asthma. 

Our solution? WaterGuard. Our WaterGuard French drain system was installed by jackhammering out the perimeter of the basement for the WaterGuard to rest in. WaterGuard sits below the floor and above the foundation footing, collecting water that drains in from the wall. No water, no mold. 

Breanna E. of Lansing, MI had a bowing foundation wall that was presenting a danger to the home and its residents. If the wall collapsed, it could destroy the home and injure the people within it.

To remedy this issue, we installed our PowerBrace foundation wall repair system. PowerBrace is made of steel I-beams that secure to the joists above the wall. They are built to stabilize bowing, tilting, or buckling foundation walls. PowerBrace are so strong that they may even be able to return foundation walls to their original position. 

Nate and Pat L. were interesting in a crawl space solution that would eliminate the cold floors within their home. We didn’t find any major water issues, although the space was humid and a section underneath the poured wall had rotted out, which was contributing to their issue even more. 

For this project we first filled the rotted out void with crushed stone and capped it off with hydraulic cement. 

Next we needed to take care of the crawl space that was contributing to the home’s cold floors. First we installed CleanSpace vent covers to seal the space off from the outside. Our team first sized and cut the covers to fit the dimensions of the vents and then securely attached them to the home, which immediately created an airtight bond. 

To prevent moisture from entering the crawl space through the floors, we installed the CleanSpace liner. This plastic liner is made of a waterproof and vapor proof material that is used to keep the outside environment from getting in through leaks or evaporation. The liner was cut to fit the dimensions of the crawl space, laid out to cover the floor and then fastened to ensure it will stay in place.

After the moisture in the space was taken care of we installed SilverGlo and FrothPak to ensure the space was properly insulated. SilverGlo is an insulation paneling that we sized to perfectly fit the crawl space and then adhered it to the wall. The panels are vapor proof to keep water vapor from entering the space, which prevents high humidity levels, mold and rot. SilverGlo also has a radiant heat barrier surface to reflect heat back into the crawl space, which saves the homeowner in energy bills. FrothPak is a spray foam insulation that seals off all of the small spaces air or moisture could enter through. This insulation does not absorb ambient moisture like traditional insulations and it is made from inorganic materials that will not mold or rot. 

Jennifer W. of Lansing, MI had water coming in at the corners of her basement. She had some cracks in the corners, as well.

To fix this problem, we installed our patented WaterGuard system. The WaterGuard French drain system rests below the floor and above the foundation footing, collecting water that seeps in through the walls. WaterGuard then directs the water to the sump pump. 

For a sump pump, we installed our TripleSafe sump pump system. TripleSafe offers three levels of protection against water leakage. Normal water supply, heavy volumes of water, or in the case of a power outage, this sump pump will keep your basement dry.

Sheila K. from Leslie, MI called us because one of her basement wall was leaking. She reported that the very last row of brick was full of water, and that she had puddles of water on her tile floor. The home was built in 1960 out of block walls, but she had her basement finished. 

To remedy this issue, we first installed our WaterGuard French drain system. WaterGuard rests below the basement floor and above the foundation footing, collecting water than seeps in through the walls. The water is then redirected to the home's sump pump. No more water!

Chris K. of Leslie, MI had a water problem in his basement before he called us. Water was seeping in from between the concrete wall and the floor, usually around 2 inches. 

Our fix? WaterGuard and TripleSafe. We started by installing WaterGuard. WaterGuard is a French drain system that rests below the basement floor and above the foundation footing, collecting the water that seeps in from the walls. 

After installing that, we next put in our patented TripleSafe sump pump system. TripleSafe provides three levels of protection against water leakage -- normal water supply, heavy volumes of water, or in the case of a power outage, this sump pump will keep your basement dry.

These homeowners called because they had a beam that was sagging in their basement. This caused the floors in their living room to start sagging toward the middle of the house. There were no wall cracks found in the basement or other levels of the home, although the bedroom doors were sticking.

To stabilize the sagging beam and lift the floors, we installed the SmartJack system. To begin, we removed cubes of soil at the location of each jack. We then filled the hole with crushed stone and placed a specially designed structural footing that will hold the columns. Next we sized and cut galvanized steel columns and assembled them within the footing and connected them to the sagging beams above. The system was tightened and the floors and beams above were immediately stabilized.

Ralph's addition was about 14 years old and was supported by wood posts, however, the structure had seen some water damage and the wood supports were no longer doing their job all that well. Upon inspection, we determined that the structure would be best supported using helical piers. Our crew dug down to the footing and drilled a series of helical piers deep into the ground along the addition until they reached competent soil. The piers were able to lift the addition towards its original position as many times these piers are able to to. The additon will now be permanently supported and settlement concerns will be a distant memory.

These homeowners had a crack in their basement wall facing the backyard. Water was entering the home during times of heavy rain. The basement was partially finished and the leak was in the unfinished portion. Coeta and Ken H. wanted to get the problem fixed before it started to cause further problems in the finished part of their basement. The home had an existing sump pump and they liked the idea of a perimeter system that will capture water and run it to the sump pump.

For this project we installed WaterGuard, which is an effective perimeter waterproofing system. To begin, we removed sections of the flooring closest to the wall around the perimeter of the basement. Next we placed specially designed pipes into the dug out trench that will capture intruding water. Next we filled the void in the floor with crushed stone and topped it off with cement to restore the flooring. A section of system closest to the wall was left uncovered to give incoming water room to filter into the pipes. The water from the pipes drains directly into the sump pump, and then exits the home. 

In order to address the crack in the wall, we installed the FlexiSpan sealant. This product seals the crack and helps water easily drain into the WaterGuard system. For this installation we removed a section of the flooring right under the crack to place crushed stone with a floor drain on top of it. The water will filter into the drain and then exit into the WaterGuard system to be discarded from the home. 

Royce D. from Mason, MI was dealing with heavy amounts of water "pouring into [his] basement." That doesn't sound like fun. Water in a basement can obviously ruin the items you have stored there, but it can also cause problems in the home itself. Doors and windows can start to stick, paint can start to peel, and the humidity can make it an uncomfortable living space. That's why Royce gave us a call.

Upon a professional inspection, we decided to install our patented WaterGuard system. The WaterGuard French drain system is normally installed around the perimeter of the basement. It rests below the floor and above the foundation footing, collecting water that enters in from the basement walls. The water is then filtered into the sump pump and out through a discharge line. 

Royce no longer has to worry about a flooded basement, thanks to WaterGuard.

Kyle H. of Mason, MI reported that he had water coming into his basement from between the floor and the 1st cinder block of his basement. He also stated that there was a decent amount of water that would pool in the middle of the basement, and that the water was coming from the west side of the house from the floor. 

Our fix? Well, we began by installing one of our customer favorites -- the WaterGuard French drain system. WaterGuard rests below the floor and above the foundation footing, collecting all the water that comes in from basement walls. That water is then directed to the basement's sump pump. 

For a sump pump, we installed the SuperSump premier sump pump system. SuperSump was designed to handle heavy amounts of water and is sure to keep Kyle's basement dry. It attaches seamlessly with the WaterGuard system, providing the finishing touch to a revolutionizing project.

No more water issues for Kyle!

Matthew W. of Mason, MI was dealing with water issues in his basement before he gave us a call. Little puddles of water would form around the cove after hard rain. Some cracks were visible on the floor, as well.

We first installed our patented WaterGuard French drain system. WaterGuard rests below the floor and above the foundation footing, collecting water that enters in through the basement walls. That water is then redirected to the sump pump in Matt's basement.

For a sump pump, we installed the SuperSump premier sump pump. SuperSump is engineered to help keep the basement dry and healthy for extended periods of time, even when there are times of extreme water intrusion. This complete system provides total protection and works perfectly with our drainage systems -- like in this situation, the WaterGuard system.

No need for Matthew to worry about water in his basement with these two systems working together!

Darla F. of Mason, MI called us saying that there was water coming into her basement through a crack in the concrete. The home was built in 1987 and the basement used to be finished, but now it is unfinished after some flooding that happened after the back up sump pump failed previously. 

Our solution? We started by installing our patented TripleSafe sump pump system. TripleSafe is a sump pump that provides three levels of protection against water leakage. Normal water supply, heavy volumes of water, or in the case of a power outage, this sump pump will keep your basement dry. For normal water supply, the Zoeller ⅓ horsepower pump functions. At a heavier level, the Zoeller ½ horsepower pump activates. In the case of a power outage, the UltraSump backup sump pump will pump water on a backup battery. 

Following that, we installed our FlexiSpan cracked-cement sealant. FlexiSpan moves with your basement wall and is waterproof and flexible, preventing the entry of any water. 

Renee K. has a split-level home that was built in the 1950s. The lower level of the home had water leaking in even though she had a sump pump that was running. On the day that she called us she had to clean up about 20 gallons of water from the lower level. 

Our solution? The WaterGuard French drain system. WaterGuard rests below the floor and above the foundation footing, collecting all the water that enters into the home's basement through the foundation walls. After the water is collected by WaterGuard, it is redirected to the sump pump and pumped outside. 

With this installment, Renee no longer needs to worry about water in her basement!

Robin T. lives in a quad level home. The lowest level has a low clearance and is not finished. She had sump pump, but water seemed to be coming up through the floor. Because of all these reasons, Robin gave us a call. 

For this project, we installed two of our favorite products: WaterGuard and TripleSafe. We first installed the TripleSafe sump pump system. TripleSafe provides three levels of protection against water leakage. Whether it be normal water supply, heavy volumes of water, or in the case of a power outage, this sump pump is going to keep Robin's basement dry. 

Next, we installed the WaterGuard French drain system. WaterGuard rests below the basement floor but above the foundation footing, capturing all the water that tries to enter the basement from the outside-in. Once the water lands in the system, the water is then redirected to the sump pump -- in this case, the TripleSafe.

In the end, these two systems working together are a perfect team for defending against water leakage. 

This homeowner called because his 70 year old home had a block wall crawl space that he wanted to get encapsulated. He didn’t find any specific issues in the past with the crawl space but he wanted to clean it up a bit. 

To begin this installation we installed CleanSpace drainage matting that has a dimpled surface to prevent water located underneath a crawl space liner from getting trapped and unable to make its way to the perimeter drain. We first cut the matting to fit the dimensions of the crawl space floor and then laid it out right on top of the ground.

Next we installed the CleanSpace liner to encapsulate the crawl space. This liner is waterproof and vapor proof to prevent moisture from entering through the walls or floors, which drastically lowers humidity levels in the space. The liner is made of inorganic materials that prevent mold growth from occurring and is extremely durable to prevent ware and tare over time. The homeowner was looking to clean up the space and this liner did just that. The bright white color transformed the look of the crawl space and kept any dirt, debris, animals and insects out. We sized the liner and covered the crawl space from head to toe and then securely fastened it to the walls.

Deven U. from Okemos, MI had water coming in from a hole in his foundation floor. On top of that, he stated that there was water coming from a hole in a tile. There was also water coming from the walls underneath one of the shelves. The basement is finished, so he didn't want to tear apart everything to find exactly where the leak was. To sum up, Deven needed our help to live comfortably in his home.

Our fix? The WaterGuard French drain system. WaterGuard rests below the basement floor but above the foundation footing, collecting water that seeps into the basement from the walls. Once that water is caught, WaterGuard redirects it to the home's sump pump to be pumped outside. 

With this installment, Deven need not worry about water in his basement!

Paul S. of Okemos, MI had a sinking driveway, garage and walkway. This created a serious tripping hazard as well as an unattractive sight. After dealing with this for some time, he gave us a call. 

Our solution for Paul was to use our patented PolyLevel injection foam. When we use PolyLevel, we drill very small holes the size of a penny in the slabs that need to be lifted and inject the PolyLevel foam. Afterward, we fill the holes back in, making them practically invisible. The process in itself is normally fairly quick, and following the injection, the slab can be driven on in 15 minutes.

This home’s basement had block wall foundation that was allowing a small amount of water to seep through into the home. The homeowner wanted an effective system that would collect and eliminate intruding water before the issue worsened and ruined the partially finished basement. 

WaterGuard drainage pipes were installed underneath the flooring, up against the basement walls in order to collect water coming in through the wall and guide it directly to the sump pump. The pipes in this system were placed on top of the footing to prevent them from getting clogged with dirt and although minimal excavation was done, the floors were completely restored so its like it was never even installed.

To combat humidity in the basement we installed a SaniDry XP, which is a powerful and effective dehumidifier that wrings the basement air dry and discards collected water directly into the sump pump. Unlike traditional dehumidifiers, this one has a large cold coil, air filtration system and a powerful blower to ensure the whole basement is filled with dry air. 

Creg L. from Portland, MI experienced his basement walls leaking water during heavy rains -- water would puddle on the floor. The home was built in 2005 with poured concrete walls. Where the down spouts are, in the corners of the basement, there was some mold due to moisture. 

Our fix? The SaniDry XP standing dehumidifier. The SaniDry XP can be stored in a closet or corner as not to take up space and still function at full capacity. It can collect up to 109 liters of water per day has the capability of removing particles as small as 2 microns.

Moisture no more.

Tracy P. had water seeping into her home where the wall and floor meet. The partially finished basement had no noticeable cracks and no mold or mildew issues. The home also had two sump pumps that were not working effectively to remove water from the space. 

To collect water that was entering the home we installed WaterGuard, which is a perimeter drainage system that uses specialized pipes to collect and drain water into the home’s sump pump. The pipes were installed underneath the flooring around the interior perimeter of the basement with concrete fill poured on top to restore the excavated flooring. A small section of the system was left uncovered, closest to the wall, to leave room for water to drain into the pipes. We installed an inspection port in this system as well to give us access to the pipes if an issue ever occurs.

To replace the two ineffective sump pumps we installed the SuperSump sump pump system. This system has an effective Zoeller pump and sturdy liner that collects water from the ground and from the WaterGuard system to ensure the house is fully protected. The airtight lid on this system prevents water in the sump from evaporating into the basement and creating high humidity levels to further protect the home from moisture issues.

In the cold winter months discharge lines can be blocked by snow or ice. When this happens, water from the sump pump is unable to exit, causing the pipes to freeze. The IceGuard system was installed on the home’s discharge line to ensure water trying to exit from frozen pipes will be able to flow out of specially designed holes, which prevents the water from re-entering the home and causing a flood. The LawnScape outlet was installed on the end of the discharge line out away from the home to guide water away and prevent it from flowing back toward the property.  

Chuck H. contacted us because he had a crack in his basement wall that he wanted taken care of. The crack was not allowing any water to enter the home, but it was a sure sign of foundation failure that needed to be handled before the problem worsened. 

For this project we installed the PowerBrace system to stabilize the wall and prevent it from shifting or cracking any further. We used steel I-beams that were installed in the flooring at the base of the failing wall and then connected to joists above the wall with strong steel brackets that hold the beams in place. The beams have a zinc coating to prevent corrosion and the system uses a joist reinforcement method that evenly transfers the bearing weight across the ceiling to make sure the system doesn’t affect the floors above. 

We also provided this homeowner with a tightening kit. This kit can be used to tighten the beams over time to potentially straighten out the wall completely. 

This homeowner had a small part of his cement slab walkaway to his home that had settled and he wanted a permanent fix that would cause little disruption to his landscaping.

The PolyLevel system was the perfect option for this homeowner’s problem because is addressed the root cause of the settlement and provided a solution that would level the slab in an efficient and effective manner. For this installation we first needed to drill small, penny-sized holes into the sunken slab. Next we injected the holes with a specialized polymer material that expanded to lift the slab back to its original position. The slab originally settled because the soil underneath was not strong enough to hold the cement any longer. Because the polymers are so dense and lightweight, they combat the weak soils to permanently level the slab without having to worry about the problem reoccurring. The polymers are also waterproof and eco-friendly, so that’s a bonus!

The slab on one side of this homeowner’s house had shifted down a few inches and he wanted to know what the best option was for fixing the settlement.

For this project we installed push piers to permanently fix the settlement issue. We first excavated sections of soil at the base of the home where the slab was settling. The piers were installed at the footing of the home, attached with steel brackets and driven down into the ground far enough to reach stable soil. Once the system was tightened into place, the home was fully lifted and stabilized and the excavated landscaping was restored.

Rose H. had stair step cracking in her basement and she wanted to know what her options were to handle the issue. She noted that you can see light entering through the cracks from across the room and she was worried that the crack was only getting bigger over time. Our team of experts visited the home and found that in addition to the cracking, the wall was also bowing inward.

To save the failing wall we installed the Geo-Lock wall anchor system and the PowerBrace system.

The wall anchors were installed by excavating the ground outside of the foundation wall to place steel earth anchors in stable soil that would be able to hold the weight of the wall. The earth anchors were then connected to the inside of the wall with steel wall anchors and secured in place with steel rods. We tightened the system, which immediately stabilized the wall and the landscaping outside was restored.

The PowerBrace system was also installed for extra protection against pressure on the home that could cause further problems for the wall. For this installation we removed a small section of the flooring at each brace location to place a steel column. The column was installed directly on the failing wall and connected to the joists above the wall with steel brackets to hold them in place. Once the system was tightened into place, the wall was stabilized and unable to shift any further. We also reinforced the joists in the home to alleviate some of the pressure that was being put on the wall.

Denver D. of Stockbridge, MI had some water coming into the basement on the east side of his home. With this being said, he gave us a call for a professional opion on how to rememdy this issue. 

Our fix? FlexiSpan sealant. FlexiSpan is a polyurethane sealant that seals cracks in foundation walls. This flexible sealant will never dry or crack and can flex to the natural movement of your foundation wall, ensuring a completely waterproofing seal.

Water problem? That's a good one!

John B. of Stockbridge, MI had a sagging crawl space before he gave us a call. A sagging crawl space can be a serious problem, and he wanted to have it take care of before it could get any worse. 

Our solution? The SmartJack crawl space support system. SmartJack provides solid support for sagging and undersized beams, restoring stability and straightness to sagging floor joists in a crawl space. No more worrying about how that sagging can affect your home with this installment!

George K. of Leslie, MI had a bowed foundation wall and and had been that way for 5 years. He did not have any water issues, but lots of moisture was entering into the home. Mortar was loose and falling out and there were cracks all over. Thus, George gave us a call. 

Our fix? The PowerBrace foundation wall repair system. PowerBrace is a wall repair system that stabilizes tilting, bowing, or buckling basement walls. The system uses steel I-beams that secure to the joists above the wall to offer maximum strength. PowerBrace is adjustable and can often bring back a foundation wall to its original position on top of supporting it. 

George, rest easy with PowerBrace.

Mary B. of Leslie, MI Wall had a dirt crawl space underneath her home. A dirt crawl space can cause all sorts of problems for a home, so Mary gave us a call for a professional solution.

Our fix? The CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system. CleanSpace is a 20mm thick plastic lining that seals off the crawl space entirely from the surrounding elements. No cold air, water, dirt, or moisture can pass through this material. And as an added bonus, CleanSpace is developed with anti-microbial components that prevent mold growth. 

James and Greeta K. had water seeping into their basement and they were looking for an effective solution to keep the space dry. The basement did have a sump pump, although an inch of water was still found on the floor when we visited the home.

In order to collect all sources of water entering the home through the basement walls, we installed the WaterGuard system. This system uses specialized pipes that were placed around the interior perimeter of the basement walls in order to collect intruding water and filter it into the sump pump to exit the home. The floor was first excavated at the base of the wall to place the piping. Next we filled the excess space with crushed stone and topped it off cement to restore the flooring. 

These homeowners can now be sure any unwanted water is filtered directly into the pipes rather than flowing out onto the floor.

Mike H. of Mason, MI gave us a call when he had had enough of the water problem in his basement. The west side of his basement (the side with the sump pump) would regularly take in water and create a stream down that side of basement.

Our fix? The WaterGuard French drain system. WaterGuard rests below the basement floor and above the foundation footing collecting water that seeps into the basement from the walls. This water is then directed to the sump pump to be pumped up and out of the home. 

With this installment Mike and his family can be comfortable in their water-free basement.

Jason B. of Mattawan, MI had a sunken cement sidewalk that was creating a tripping hazard before he reached out to us. 

Our fix? PolyLevel foam injection. PolyLevel is proven to provide a better solution than mudjacking and is far less intrusive. We begin by making penny-sized holes in the slab and then inject the PolyLevel foam. Once the PolyLevel is in place, we refill the holes, making them nearly invisible.

Joe and Susie C. had water seeping into their basement through the foundation walls and the sump pump in the home was completely open so you could look right in and see the iron ocher. They were looking for an effective solution to keep their basement dry and we knew just what to do.

We first installed the WaterGuard system around the interior perimeter of the basement to collect and discard water into the sump pump. The specialized pipes were installed underneath the flooring at the base of each wall to collect intruding water. Water entering the home is filtered into the system and then discarded into the sump pump to be pumped outside of the home.

Next we installed the TripleSafe liner and lid to the already existing sump pump. The TripleSafe liner is designed to collect water from the WaterGuard system and prevents the pump from getting clogged with dirt and debris. The TripleSafe airtight lid prevents water in the sump from evaporating into the basement, which would further contribute to the moisture issue the homeowners were already dealing with.

Carrie H. called because she discovered two cracks in her foundation basement wall that appeared to be growing. The cracks seemed to be getting worse over the years and she was looking for a solution to fix the problem once and for all.

The reason the foundation started to crack in the first place was because the wall was shifting, which is why we decided to install the effective CarbonArmor system to stabilize the failing wall. We started the process by painting a strong epoxy resin on the wall at each CarbonArmor strap location. The straps were then adhered and secured into place to prevent the wall from shifting or cracking any further.

Dave and Linda B. contacted us because they wanted to upgrade to a bigger, more efficient sump pump system that also included a battery back up.

The TripleSafe sump pump system was installed to give these homeowners just what they were looking for. This system includes a sturdy liner that holds three powerful pumps. The first pump handles the majority of the work and the second pump automatically turns on if the first pump is unable to keep up with the amount of water entering the system. The final pump is a battery backup that makes sure the system continues working even if the power goes out.

We also wanted to make sure that the water exiting the sump pump had an efficient route, which is why we installed the IceGuard system and a LawnScape outlet. IceGuard was installed on the home’s discharge lines to ensure water is able to easily exit the sump pump even if the lines freeze during the cold winter months. This is extremely important because if water is unable to exit the sump, it will re-enter the home and cause a flood. A LawnScape outlet was also installed at the end of the discharge line to drain exiting water out away from the property, which prevents it from flowing back toward the home and causing more issues for the homeowners.

This homeowner had water seeping into the basement and needed an effective solution to keep the space dry.

Our team of experts knew the WaterGuard system would do just the trick. WaterGuard is a perimeter drainage system that collects intruding water and drains it into the home’s sump pump to be pumped outside of the home. We started the installation by removing sections of the flooring around the interior perimeter of the basement in order to place specialized drainage pipes. The pipes were set in the trench and the remaining space was filled with crushed stone and topped off with cement fill to restore the flooring. A small section of the system at the base of each wall was left uncovered so water entering through the wall can flow down into the pipes and then exit into the sump pump.

Thanks to the WaterGuard system, this homeowner now has a dry basement.

Greg G. had water entering his basement through the cove joint and he was looking for an effective waterproofing solution to protect his home from intruding water.

The WaterGuard system was first installed to gather and discard water entering the home where the wall met the floor. Flooring at the base of each wall was excavated to place specialized drainage pipes that collected intruding water, rather than allowing it to flow out onto the floor. Water that was collected in the pipes was directed to the sump pump and then pumped outside of the home. We also made sure to install inspection ports that give us access to the system if needed since it is located underneath the flooring.

The SuperSump sump pump system was installed next to ensure water from the WaterGuard system was efficiently pumped outside of the home. This system included a powerful Zoeller pump, a sturdy liner and an airtight lid that prevented water in the sump pump from evaporating into the basement, which would further contribute to the unwanted moisture issue.

An additional discharge line was also installed to give exiting water a direct pathway outside of the home. During the wintertime, drainage pipes can freeze, which prevents water in the sump pump from exiting the home. If water is unable to exit, it will re-enter the home and potentially cause the basement to flood. The IceGuard system was installed on the line to help water exit the lines through specialized holes, even if the pipes are frozen. A LawnScape outlet was installed on the end of the discharge line to guide water away from the home and prevent it from flowing back toward the basement walls.

Janeen G. of Okemos, MI had standing water in her basement before she gave us a call. Standing water can lead to humidity and moisture in the home, so Janeen wanted this taken care of as soon as possible.

Our solution? The SuperSump premier sump pump system and the WaterGuard French drain system. The SuperSump is a sump pump specifically designed to keep your basement dry for long periods of time. Capable of pumping 2,220 gallons of water per hour, it is suitable for heavy water intrusion.

The WaterGuard French drain system rests below the basement floor but above the foundation footing, collecting water that seeps into the basement from the walls. Once this water is collected, it is filtered into the sump pump -- the SuperSump -- to be pumped up and out of the home. 

These customers had bought a bank-owned property that was vacant for about a year. They were in the process of remodeling the area and although there was no water present in the basement, there was still a bad, musty smell.

The reason the basement had was damp and had a musty smell was because of the high humidity levels in the space. We decided to install a SaniDry XP dehumidifier to fix the issue. This dehumidification system wringed the basement air dry, filtered the air to remove unwanted particles and then distributed dry air throughout the entire basement with its powerful blower.

John and Kay R. of Rodney, MI had water all over their basement floor before they gave us a call. This can obviously damage the items resting on the floor, but can also cause mold growth, sticking windows and doors, and asthma.

Our solution to rid this basement of standing water? The WaterGuard French drain system. WaterGuard rests below the basement floor and above the foundation footing, collecting the water that has seeped or is seeping into the basement. When this water is collected it is directed to the sump pump to be pumped up and out of the home.

Connie L. has a home in Leslie, MI that suffered from a large tree rooting through her foundation wall. This caused rippling cracks that let in water when it rained. Connie needed a solution -- so, she called us.

We used out patented FlexiSpan polyurethane foundation wall crack sealant. FlexiSpan is exactly what it sounds like: flexible. This crack sealant locks the crack to provide a longterm, waterproof seal. FlexiSpan is even flexible enough to stretch with the natural movement of the basement wall. 

Trees don't stand a chance a breaking open this seal with FlexiSpan.

Norma M. of Rapid City, MI was having terrible problems with her basement: water was seeping in from the outside. Having water is your basement leaves lots of room for problems upstairs, as well. Doors and windows can start to stick and paint can begin to peel. This said, Norma gave us a call.

We installed our TripleSafe sump pump system to remedy this issue. The TripleSafe is a sump pump that provides three levels of protection against water leakage. Whether it be normal water supply, heavy volumes of water, or in the case of a power outage, this sump pump will keep your basement dry. For normal water supply, the Zoeller ⅓ horsepower pump functions. At a heavier level, the Zoeller ½ horsepower pump activates. In the case of a power outage, the UltraSump backup sump pump will pump water on a backup battery.

No longer will water seepage bother Norma in Rapid City.

This Haslett, MI home had water entering the basement through its cinder block walls. There was a sump pump present, but water was unable to reach the system to be discarded from the home.

We installed the WaterGuard perimeter drainage system to collect intruding water and discard it into the home’s sump pump. The specialized pipes were installed underneath the flooring at the base of each wall. As water entered the home, it drained down into the pipes and was directed to the sump pump, rather than flowing out onto the floor. We also installed inspection ports to ensure we have access to the system if needed, since it is installed underneath the flooring.

We also installed a FloodRing around the water heater to protect the home from a potential leak in the heater.

This Bellevue, MI home had several minor cracks in one of its foundation walls that were a sure sign of future wall failure. Moisture was also able to make its way into the home and the owners contacted us for a reliable solution.

To stabilize the wall, we installed the CarbonArmor system. This system utilizes fiber-reinforced polymers that are 10x stronger than steel to hold the basement wall in place. A strong apoxy resin was first painted onto the wall at each carbon strap location. The straps were then adhered to the wall and secured into place with steel brackets.

To improve the look of the basement walls and block out water and water vapor, we installed the BrightWall wall system. The plastic sheeting was cut to fit the dimensions of the basement and then attached to the wall with plastic fasteners. This wall system was waterproof and vapor proof to keep moisture and humidity out of the home.

Caitlyn and Nick B. contacted us because they wanted to fix their bowing basement wall before the issue worsened. Thankfully, our team of experts knew just what to do.

We used the PowerBrace system to completely stabilize the wall and potentially shift it back to its proper position. The system used a joist reinforcement method to transfer the weight of the wall evenly across the basement ceiling, which prevented unintended damage to other areas in the home. We installed steel I-Beams at the base of the wall and connected them to the joists above the wall. The system was secured in place with steel brackets and once tightened into place, the wall would no longer continue to bow. We also provided the homeowners with a kit that can be used to tighten the beams over time to potentially push the wall back to its original position.

This homeowner called us because he wanted to figure out a way to level his cracked and settled porch.

We installed the PolyLevel system to lift and level the settled cement. We first drilled multiple small holes in the concrete that were then injected with a specialized polymer material. The polymers expanded to lift the settled slab and had a quick cure time of about 15 minutes. The polymer material was also made to match most colors of cement, which ensured the look of the home was not compromised.

This homeowner contacted us because she wanted to fix her sunken garage floor and cracked driveway. The customer needed a reliable solution that would repair the unleveled concrete slabs and prevent them from continuing to settle in the future.

We installed the effective PolyLevel system to immediately level the slabs and prevent them from sinking or cracking any further. Multiple small holes were drilled into the concrete slabs, which were then injected with a specialized polymer material. The polymers expanded, which lifted the slabs back to their proper position. The dense and lightweight polymers in this system helped to hold the slabs up and addressed the weak soil issue that originally caused the sinking.

Rhonda W. was preparing to buy a house and ran into an unpleasant surprise. Unfortunately, the home had a waterproofing issue. There was no major standing water but she wanted to address the issue before it became more serious. This customer needed a solution she knew she could count on. 

During our inspection of the home we found that there was no outlet for the water to escape, only a hole in the basement floor for the water to seep into. We installed a TripleSafe Sump Pump, to effectively pump the water out of Rhonda's basement that also inlcudes a back up battery in case of a power outage.  In addition to the TripleSafe, we installed WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement so the water drains right into the sump pump. 

The combination of Waterguard and TripleSafe sump pump addresses Rhonda's wet basement issues by ensuring the water is being pumped out of her basement and any additional water entering is guided to the drain outlet in the sump pump.

Karen T. contacted us because her block basement wall was beginning to bow inward. She was looking for an effective solution that would stabilize the wall and prevent any further shifting. For this project we installed the PowerBrace system to hold the wall in place and prevent it from bowing inward any further. We removed a small section of the flooring at the base of the wall to install the steel I-beams. The beams stretched the length of the wall and were then securely attached to the floor joists above. This system acts as a brace to hold the wall in place while possibly aiding in the overall straightening of the wall. The owner also received a tightening kit that is used to tighten the braces as the wall begins to shift back to its proper position.

This Mason, MI home had water entering the basement through the block foundation walls. The home had a sump pump in the space, but water was not being collected and discarded efficiently. Our team of experts installed the WaterGuard system around the interior perimeter of the basement to collect and discard water into the sump pump. Small sections of the flooring were removed at the base of each wall in order to place specialized drainage pipes that collect and immediately carry intruding water into the sump pump to exit the home. This underground system required a small amount of excavation, but the floors were properly restored with concrete fill, so its like we were never even there! We also installed an inspection port in the WaterGuard system that gives us access to the drainage pipes if ever needed.

This customer had water leaking out of his cement block basement walls. The water was beginning to puddle on the ground and the homeowner was looking for a reliable fix. We used WaterGuard, an effective perimeter drainage system to collect and discard water into the home’s sump pump to prevent it from leaking out onto the floor. The specialized pipes were installed underneath the flooring with a small opening that allowed water to easily enter the system.

This customer contacted us because he was concerned with some blocks that were leaning in his basement foundation wall. He was looking for a solution that would make the home’s foundation more structurally sound. Thankfully, our team of experts knew that the PowerBrace system would be the perfect solution. Strong steel I-beams were installed on the joists above the wall and in the floor at the base of the wall. Once secured into place with steel brackets, the wall was immediately stabilized. The joists in the home were also reinforced to further support the wall and the rest of the home above.

Michele S. of Williamston, MI had a crack in her basement wall – and a crack in a basement wall can let water into the basement. Mold can grow, paint can peel, and other problems are sure to follow if a crack like this is not remedied and water is prevented from entering the basement. Thankfully for Michele, we had a solution.

We used our patented FlexiSpan cracked-cement sealant. FlexiSpan is flexible and moves with the natural shift of the foundation wall to provide an everlasting waterproof seal. This simple yet effective system is the perfect fix for a cracked wall.

When several weeks had passed by with water leaking into her basement, Janet P. from Lansing, MI gave us a call. She wanted to fix this problem because not only does water destroy belongings in a basement, but it also causes humidity, congestion, peeling paint, and sticking doors and windows. Thankfully for Janet, we have a foolproof solution.

We installed our patented and customer favorite: the WaterGuard French drain system. WaterGuard rests below the basement floor and above the foundation footing, catching water seepage that enters in from the walls of the basement. After this water is in the drain, it is transported to the sump pump to be pumped up and out of the home.

When Donna S. from Lansing, MI gave us a call we knew she had a serious problem. She had a bowing foundation wall that could pose a threat to the structure of the home as a whole. A bowed wall could collapse and bring the house down with it, so we were determined to get this job done right.

We installed our patented PowerBrace foundation wall repair system that stabilizes tilting, bowing, or buckling basement walls. The system uses steel I-beams that secure to the joists above the wall. This offers the best protection against any structural failure, and can even be tightened by the homeowners over time to bring the wall back to its original position.

With this installment, Donna can rest easily. 

We got a call from Donna R. of Lansing, MI – and she needed our help. Water was leaking into her basement, discoloring the walls and peeling the paint. The water was leaking in through the walls and the floor. We had a solution for this problem.

We installed two of our favorite patented products: the WaterGuard French drain system and the TripleSafe sump pump system. The WaterGuard drain rests below the basement floor and above the foundation footing, collecting water that seeps into the basement from the walls and floor. After this water is in the drain, it is redirected to the sump pump (the SuperSump, in this case) to be pumped up and out of the home.

The TripleSafe is a sump pump that provides three levels of protection against water leakage. Whether it be normal water supply, heavy volumes of water, or in the case of a power outage, the sump pump will keep your basement dry. For normal water supply, the Zoeller ⅓ horsepower pump functions. At a heavier level, the Zoeller ½ horsepower pump activates. In the case of a power outage, the UltraSump backup sump pump will pump water on a backup battery. 

These two systems work in perfect harmony to provide a waterproofing system like never before.

Tracy G. from Lansing, MI had a vertical crack in her foundation wall at the time that she called us. The crack was seeping water, and Tracy needed a fix – fast.

We installed our patented FlexiSpan cracked-cement sealant. FlexiSpan is flexible enough to move with the natural shift of your basement wall, providing a long-term waterproof seal. 

Say goodbye to the huge vertical crack, and say hello to FlexiSpan.

This customer had a block wall in her basement on the outside wall that needed to be addresses before further damage occurred. The foundation looked like someone tried to repair it in the past, but the wall continued to shift over time.

We installed the PowerBrace system that supported the basement wall and works to eventually straighten it over time. Strong steel I-beams were installed vertically on the wall, which acted as braces to hold the wall securely in place. The beams were coated in zinc to prevent corrosion and they used a joist reinforcement method that transferred the weight of the wall evenly across the ceiling to ensure the system did not interfere with the floors above.

This homeowner contacted us because he was concerned with the musty smell coming from his dirt floor crawl space. The walls of the space were cement block and there was a sump pump to control any water issues in the area, although moisture was still an issue.

Our team of experts decided to install the CleanSpace system to encapsulate and seal the crawl space off from unwanted moisture. We first installed drainage matting on the base of space to help water easily make its way to the sump pump. Next we covered the entire area with the waterproof and vapor proof CleanSpace liner to ensure the space was sealed off from the outside environment. The last step in this installation was using FrothPak spray foam to seal and insulate the porous concrete walls. This insulation does not absorb ambient moisture and is resistant to mold growth, unlike traditional fiberglass insulations.

During a heavy rain, this customer experienced 12 inches of water in their home.The water was coming in from both the floor and the walls. They were devastated and wanted it taken care of immediately. Our team of experts came in and helped waterproof their basement. We installed our WaterGuard System, Super Sump, Iceguard, and Lawnscape Outlet.

Our Waterguard system is drainage system installed around the perimeter of the basement so any water that may enter through those block walls is directed to  the Super Sump sump pump. The Super Sump is used to effectively pump water out of your basement keeping it dry. The Lawnscape Outlet is used to hide those ugly discharge lines we usually install in our yard. It provides the opportunity to bury those lines and still be able to discharge the water away from the home. Iceguard is specifically designed to still have place to discharge the water being pumped out if your basement when those Michigan winters arrive and the discharge line freezes. We want to make sure in any conditions your basement stays dry and comfortable.

Bob P. was having issues with water coming in his basement from one of the corners. Unfortunately, every time it rained it left the family with an unwelcome surprise, a basement filled with water. Bob used to clear the water as it came in but he decided enough was enough. Our team of experts came in and waterproofed his basement. We installed a SuperSump sump pump to pump out any water coming into the basement and the Waterguard system. Waterguard is a perimeter waterproofing system that guides any water that seeps into the basement to gather in the SuperSump and be pumped out.

In addition to our interior products we installed the Lawnscape Outlet and Iceguard. Lawnscape allows us to hide those ugly discharge lines underground. It provides an opening at the end of the line for the water to escape from your basement. Not only does it help the way your yard looks, it also prevents tripping hazards that usually occur from discharge lines just laying around. Lastly, for those winter months, we install Iceguard. We do not want that water that’s pumped out to be backed up due to freezing lines. Iceguard is prepared and gives the water a secondary location yo escape keeping your basement dry all winter.

Scott W. was experiencing foundation settlement in his home. One of the signs he noticed was his chimney beginning to come away from the home. Scott’s home was built in 1959 and had troubled soils under his home. Our team decided to install piers to address those troubled soils. The piers take on the weight of the home and transfer it to competent soils that can support the home. Piering can help to lift the home back to its original position and causes minimal disturbance during installation.

Patricia and TJ contacted us because their basement had puddles of water. You could see where the water was coming in through the floor and walls. They had tried using small heaters to dry up the water but this was only causing the electric bill to go up not fix the standing water. 

We helped them with their problem by installing our WaterGuard system around the perimeter of the basement. The system is proven to work and direct water to the sump pump and out of the basement. Since the intruding water had also ruined some of the walls we installed EverLast wall panels. These really cleaned up the look of the basement and are waterproof so they won't get ruined. 

Jon K. got in contact with us because his basement walls were leaking water causing quite the issue in his basement. He really wanted a better sump pump installed and a better drainage system. After discussing what Jon wanted and what we knew would work we installed our TrenchGuard system with a new, working sump pump as well. 

The TrenchGuard perimeter system is going to work great for this situation because it will collect all the water leaking in through the walls and direct it to the sump pump. We work hard to ensure your basement stays dry and looks great when we leave.

Ryan B. from Edwardsburg, MI was having water come into his basement from the corners of the walls every time it rained. This water would form puddles, making his basement more than unpleasant. Thankfully, we had a solution.

We installed three of our patented waterproofing products: the WaterGuard French drain system, the SuperSump premier sump pump system. and the SaniDry XP standing dehumidifier. The WaterGuard drain rests below the basement floor and above the foundation footing, collecting water that seeps into the basement from the walls (and the corners of the walls). Once this water is collected, it is redirected to the sump pump (the SuperSump, in this case). 

The SuperSump is a sump pump specifically designed to keep your basement dry for long periods of time. Capable of pumping 2,220 gallons of water per hour, it is suitable for heavy water intrusion.

Finally, the SaniDry XP is a standing dehumidifier that creates dry, clean air, reduces the risk of mold growth, never needs to be emptied, and is 10 times more powerful than traditional dehumidifiers.

With these three installations, Ryan can once again be comfortable in his home. You can be, too.

The homeowners had a spot in their basement where water was seeping through.  The home was built in 1960 and there was no existing sump pump, leaving the homeowners with a mess.

Our professional team installed our TripleSafe sump pump to keep the water out of the homeowners basement. The TripleSafe has three sump pumps in one giving you triple protection! The first pump will remove water effectively. The second pump has a seperate discharge line and is more powerful.  The second pump is only needed if the first pump fails. Lastly, the third pump has batteries so it is there for you if the power goes out.

Next, our team installed the WaterGuard long lasting interior perimeter drainage system. The WaterGuard drainage system sits on the top of the footing in your basement so mud does not clog the system. WaterGuard collects water seepage from the floor and walls and directs that water to the sump pump. The sump pump then effectively removes the water from the home keeping your basement nice and dry.

Lastly, our team installed IceGuard on the sump pump discharge line on the outside of the home. The IceGuard system allows water to escape from the sump pump discharge line if it freezes or becomes blocked for any reason. Even if the pipe outlet is buried under a foot of ice and snow, the water can escape, allowing your sump pump to keep your basement clean and dry. 

Thanks to our TripleSafe sump pump, WaterGuard drainage system, and IceGuard the homeowners basement is now clean and dry! 

The owner of this home contacted us because there was water in the crawl space and that it was very cold. A cold and wet crawl space can transfer to the living areas above it. By installing our CleanSpace system you can save on energy bills over time. CleanSpace can be installed with SilverGlo insulation so make sure the space stays warm from the outside elements such as wind and snow. 

The homeowners had water seeping into their basements through the corners of their walls. Their basement was finished and they did not want any of the water damaging their walls and floors or any of their belongings. 

Our professional team knew what needed to be done. Our team installed the WaterGuard interior perimeter drainage system. The WaterGuard system goes along the perimeter of your basement and catches all water and floor seepage. The system sits on top of the footing so not to get clogged. The water that the WaterGuard system catches drains to the sump pump and the sump pump removes the water from the home! 

Our professional team also installed the SuperSump sump pump. The SuperSump is a full-featured system that includes the best components available. It includes the SuperLiner, which is an airtight lid that looks more attractive, keeps pests out and eliminates safety hazard of an open sump pump. It has a floor drain in case an unforeseen accident puts water on your basement floor. It includes a WaterWatch Alarm, which alerts you if the water level rises above the sump pump intake. It has a cast-iron pump to prevent overheating and burnout. It has a CleanPump pump stand that elevates the sump pump to prevent clogging.  It has a check valve to prevent pumped water from re-entering.  Lastly, it has an improved float valve to ensure long-term performance.  

Thanks to WaterGuard and the SuperSump the homeowners finished basement is clean and dry! 

Our customer, Rodney P. of Lansing, Michigan dealt with a bowing basement wall before he reached out to us. A bowing wall becomes more dangerous day after day in a home, and Rodney needed a solution. 

We installed our patented PowerBrace wall repair system for this job. PowerBrace is a wall repair system that stabilizes tilting, bowing, or buckling basement walls. The system uses steel I-beams that secure to the joists above the wall. A tightening system can also we used to bring the wall back to its original position over time.

Erika E. from Lansing, MI was having trouble with water in her basement before she reached out t us. Heavy rains would lead to watering running into her basement and her sump pump would become backed up every time. This said, we had a solution. 

For this project, we installed our patented WaterGuard French drain system. WaterGuard rests below the basement floor and above the foundation footing, collecting water that seeps into the basement from the walls. After this water is collected by the drain, it is redirected to the sump pump to be pumped up and out of the home. 

This installment keeps Erika's basement dry and livable, once again. 

Our customer, Michelle A. of Lansing, Michigan, was having trouble with leaks in her basement. Water leaking into the basement was creating puddles on the floor for years until Michelle had had enough – and she reached out for our help. Thankfully, we had a solution.

We installed several of our patented waterproofing products for this job: the WaterGuard French drain system, the TripleSafe sump pump system, and the SaniDry XP standing dehumidifier. 

The WaterGuard drain rests below the basement floor and above the foundation footing in order to collect the water that seeps into the basement fro the walls. Once this water is collected in the drain, it is redirected to the sump pump to be pumped up and out of the basement.

The sump pump, in this case, is the TripleSafe sump pump. The TripleSafe is a sump pump that provides three levels of protection against water leakage. Whether it be normal water supply, heavy volumes of water, or in the case of a power outage, this sump pump will keep your basement dry. For normal water supply, the Zoeller ⅓ horsepower pump functions. At a heavier level, the Zoeller ½ horsepower pump activates. In the case of a power outage, the UltraSump backup sump pump will pump water on a backup battery.

Robert J. from Lansing, MI was experiencing water flooding into his basement and needed a fix – fast. He believed that sinking driveway was the reason that water was able to seep into the basement, filling the basement with one inch of water. 

We solved this issue with our patented WaterGuard French drain system and our SuperSump premier sump pump system. The WaterGuard drain sits below the basement floor, collecting all the water that seeps into the basement from the walls. After the water is caught by the drain, it is redirected to the SuperSump to be pumped out of the home.

The SuperSump is a sump pump specifically designed to keep your basement dry for long periods of time. Capable of pumping 2,220 gallons of water per hour, it is suitable for heavy water intrusion.

The homeowners in Mason, MI had water and mud seeping into their basement through their egress window. The water was damaging the walls and the mud seeping in was dirty and unsanitary for the homeowners children. 

Our professtional team knew this mud and water needed to be stopped. We started by installing our WaterGuard long lasting interior perimeter drainage system. WaterGuard works by sitting on the top of the footing inside your basement so it does not get clogged. The system traps water seepage from the floors and walls through its drainage grates. The system then carries that water directly to the sump pump where it is then removed effectively from the home. 

Next, we installed a window WellDuct drain. The WellDuct system is a low profile drainage channel that connects the base of the window well to an interior drainage system. In this case, the WellDuct is attached to our WaterGuard interior drainage system. The WellDuct system traps seepage from the window well and directs that water directly to the perimeter drainage system. The water is then directed to the sump pump and removed from the home. Once the system is installed you will never have to worry about a wall of water building up against your basement windows. 

Lastly, our professional team installed the BrightWall basement wall panels. The BrightWall panels easily tansform your damp, ugly basement walls into bright, beautiful walls that never need paint or other maintenance. The BrightWall panels are designed to work with our other waterproofing systems, like WaterGuard. The panels direct wall seepage down to the perimeter drain lines that carry water to the sump pump. 

Thanks to our professional team, the homeowners basment is now waterproofed and beautiful! 

The homeowners in Lansing, MI had water seeping into their basement through where the floor and the wall meet. The home was built in 1950 and had no existing sump pump, so the water that was getting in could not escape leaving puddles around the homeowners basement. The incoming water was causing damage and needed to be stopped. 

Our professional team installed the SuperSump sump pump in the homeowners basement. The SuperSump system is a full-featured system that includes the best components available. The SuperSump removes water from your 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 hazard of an open sump pump. It has a floor drain in case an unforeseen accident puts water on your basement floor. It includes a WaterWatch Alarm, which alerts you if the water level rises above the sump pump intake. It has a cast-iron pump to prevent overheating and burnout. It has a CleanPump pump stand that elevates the sump pump to prevent clogging.  It has a check valve to prevent pumped water from re-entering.  Lastly, it has an improved float valve to ensure long term performance.  

The team also installed the IceGuard system. The IceGuard system allows water to escape from a sump pump discharge line if the pipe freezes or becomes blocked for any reason. Even if the pipe outlet is buried under a foot of ice and snow, the water can escape, allowing your sump pump to keep your basement dry. 

The homeowners basement is now dry thanks to the SuperSump sump pump and IceGuard! 

The homeowners in Williamston, MI had horizontal cracking on the top of their block walls in their basement. Horizontal cracking is the first sign that the wall is beginning to bow. It is very important to note that if horizontal cracking is found on your walls it needs to be taken care of right away because although the cracks usually start out small, they will increase in width over time as the soil outside continues to put pressure on the wall. The longer you wait, the harder the wall will be to repair and the more expensive it will be to repair. 

To fix this problem our professional team installed the GeoLock wall anchor system. The GeoLock system is designed to stabalize the bowing and cracked wall and eventually get the wall back to being straight again. The wall anchor system works by embedding galvanized steel earth anchors  into the soil out away from the foundation wall. Wall plates are installed on the problem wall located inside the home. The earth anchors and the wall plates are then attached using a galvanized steel rod. Once installed, wall anchors will hold walls in their current position without any further adjustment. They can be tightened during dry periods allowing for improvement and straightening of the wall over time

The homeowners in Lansing, MI had water coming into their basement, through their floor, everytime there was a heavy rain. The drain in the homeowners basement kept backing up and the sump pump just could not work fast enough to remove all the backed up water from the home. 

Our professional team at Ayers Basement Systems knew they had to find these homeowners a solution to their water problem. The team decided that they should install WaterGuard long lasting interior perimeter drainage system. The WaterGuard drainage system sits on the top of the footing in the basement to make sure that the drain does not get clogged. The product works by capturing floor and wall seepage before it has a chance to to reach your basement floor. The water enters the system via inlet holes and flows through the drainage pipes directly to your sump pump. The sump pump then does its job and effectively removes the water from the home. 

Our team also installed the IceGuard anti freeze system. The IceGuard system is connected to your sump pumps discharge line outside of the home. The IceGuard system allows water to escape from a sump pump discharge line if the pipe freezes or becomes blocked for any reason. Even if the pipe outlet is buried under a foot of ice and snow, the water can escape, allowing your sump pump to keep your basement dry.

Thanks to WaterGuard interior perimeter drainage system and IceGuard anti freeze system, the homeowners basement is clean and dry!

The homeowners in Lansing, MI had a vertical crack going down the length of their basement wall. These vertical cracks can occur because of poor construction practice or when foundation concrete shrinks or cures. Vertical cracks can cause water to leak from the foundation outside into the home. Right when the crack is noticed it should be taken care of to prevent further damage to the home. 

To take care of this vertical crack out professional team installed FlexiSpan basement wall crack repair. Quick fixes and do it yourself repairs for wall cracks almost never work. If you have a wall crack you will want to get it right the first time and make a single repair that will last. The FlexiSpan crack repair is actually a three-part process that begins with the application of a flexible sealant along the full length of the crack. Next, a strip of flexible and porous foam is installed over the crack. Finally, an impermeable membrane is adhered to the wall on both sides of the foam strip. This fail-safe treatment allows any future seepage of water through the crack to move invisibly down the wall and into the basement’s perimeter drainage system.The product moves with the basement wall so it will last a long time. 

A customer in Williamston came to us with issues in his driveway. He kept hitting bumps that made getting into the garage an annoying task. Unlevel slabs of concrete are a red flag that that surface needs some concrete repair. We can fix unlevel concrete through PolyLevel.

PolyLevel is a polymer injection that is injected into the concrete to level it and make it stronger. PolyLevel worked to raise and level out the concrete slabs while dealing with the weak soils below that were no longer able to hold the weight of the home above. We drilled multiple small holes into the concrete slabs in order to inject them with a polymer material that expanded to lift and level out the concrete. Once injected, the system only needed about 15 minutes to fully cure and the slabs were then stabilized and lifted to their proper level, and stronger than ever before. Now, this homeowner will not have to worry about this ever again.

We recieved a call from a customer in Okemos about their basement that was having some water issues. Well, of course they were having issues because they did not have sump pump. Without a sump pump, the water has no way to leave. So we installed our best sump pump that we have, the TripleSafe sump pump.

TripleSafe is a sump pump with three different pumps in one liner. The first being the 1/3 hp zoeller pump which does most of the pumping and is placed at the bottom of the liner. The second is the 1/2 hp zoeller that is placed slightly higher than the first. This pump is more powerful but will only be turned on when needed. The final pump is the battery-operated UltraSump DC which is used in case of a power outage, this pump can pump up to 24,000 gallons of water.  Now this homeowner will be able to enjoy their basement, water-free.

A Lansing, MI homeowner was experiencing water seepage in his basement, where the wall meets the floor. In seeking professional help, Kevin called us. We installed the WaterGuard in his home. The WaterGuard will protect the home from water leaking near foundation walls. It is designed to catch water seepage through walls and leaks along the wall/floor joint. This product will provide a quality solution and is cost effective as an added bonus. With this new system in place, Kevin’s basement will now be a dry usable space again.

We received a concerned call from Janice about the large horizontal and stair-like cracks that were beginning to form in her basement walls. When cracks begin to form in the walls of your home, it can become a very stressful time. Many homeowners may not know what their next step should be. Luckily, we do. The first step any homeowner should take when noticing cracks in their walls is to give us a call and we can send a crew member out for a free inspection. In this particular Holt, MI home, we decided the best way to go about this specific wall was to install our CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System. Being ten times stronger than steel, the fiber reinforced polymer that makes up the CarbonArmor strips offer top notch and long-lasting foundation support. When it comes to cracks in the foundation and preventing any further damage from occurring, it doesn’t get any better than the CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System.

Our customer, Jenna, called us with a couple concrete slabs sinking and cracking in front of her house.  Fixing concrete slabs is a very simple and minimally invasive process.  We use a combination of products called PolyLevel and NexusPro Joint Sealer.  Starting the project with PolyLevel, we make a tiny hole in the concrete slab and squeeze a liquid into the soil that's under the slab causing the slab to sink.  This liquid hardens after time and raises the slab back to where it's supposed to be.  Next, with NexusPro Joint Sealer we will be closing all of the cracks and spaces between the slabs to combat water, ice, and dirt from entering the concrete joints.  Now, we have fixed the slab movement and made the concrete even better to look at, all while using a quick and clean process!

Robin & Steve, homeowners in the local Lansing, MI area noticed that their porch had begun to sink and pull away from the house. There were cracks in the front of the home where an area was separating from the rest of the home. Our experts calculated a plan to lift the home back to its original position and permanently support its weight, to do this we used a series of six helical piers. These piers are long steel shafts, that are advanced deep into the ground to competent soil. The footing of the home sits on top of these shafts using a heavy-duty steel anchor. We installed these anchors by excavating soil from around the exterior of the home until we reached the footing. We advanced the helical piers from there creating a solid and permanent solution, in finishing the job we replaced the removed soil. With these piers in place, we have allowed Robin & Steve’s home to regain its stability.

Deb called us with some bad news...her partially finished basement developed a water leak.  This leak was coming from one of the basement walls.  Leakage in walls is very common, cement and concrete tends to easily crack due to factors such as humidity and freezing.  Luckily, with the help of a product called Flexispan, we are able to eliminate leakage, as well as prevent future leakage.  Flexispan is able to not only provide a fix to the current leaking, but also prevents future leaking by creating a water well at the bottom of the wall that is able to drain water.  

Betty in Holt, MI called us with a classic crawlspace concern. Practically everything inside her dirt crawlspace was damp, and that there was mold growing in multiple spots. It didn’t take us more than a couple of seconds to know what we had to do: Install CleanSpace.

CleanSpace is a plastic liner that can cover virtually every square inch of your crawlspace. It is placed completely overt the floor and walls to permanently keep away any moisture and air from entering the crawlspace. Moisture and damp air can sneak in through the tiniest of holes and cracks, and this is why CleanSpace is the superior option, because there simply won’t be any small holes or cracks that are still uncovered once the liner is fully installed.

Despite how rough of shape Betty's crawlspace was in when we first went out for inspection, she will no longer have to worry about moisture creeping into her home thanks to CleanSpace.

When walls start to move around, it can be a scary thought.  Bending or bowing walls is actually common in a lot of Michigan homes due to factors like soil movement, freezing, and hydrostatic pressure.  To help prevent and fix wall bowing, we use a product called CarbonArmor.  CarbonArmor is a high tensile strength carbon fiber composite that attaches to both the wall, and the foundation, to add support and stability.  Another benefit to this technique is that installation is quick and minimally invasive.  If you're having issues with wall movement, just give us a call for more info! 

As the weather starts to get more cold and rainy heading into winter, it becomes more and more important to have the correct insulation for your home.  Crawl space insulation is often overlooked by a lot of homeowners as it is not something that they look at very often.  Our customers, Robert and Catherine chose to upgrade their crawl space using CleanSpace, SilverGlo and FrothPak insulation.  CleanSpace is a vapor barrier that goes along the floor of the area, helping seal the house from humidity.  SilverGlo acts as insulation on the walls to keep your house warm and reduce humidity.  FrothPak fills in the gaps between panels and rim joists sealing your house completely.  All of these additions will work together to reduce your energy bill as well as make your home healthier to live in!

Our good neighbor Leo, right here in Lansing, MI, began growing irritated when he would pull his car into the garage and hit a large bump. He noticed his driveway had sunk away from the garage. Leo quickly knew he needed to call the local driveway leveling experts, us! We used our unique product offering Poly Level to return Leo’s cement to its original position. PolyLevel raises concrete through unique qualities of expanding polyurethane foam, making it: environmentally safe, affordable, waterproof to prevent future erosion, quick and mess free, and a permanent solution. Poly Level not only results in a solution that looks better and lasts longer, it is also less destructive to the applied surface. Thanks, Leo, for the opportunity to enhance your home!

We received a call from Rick in Holt, MI saying that he needed his foundation wall stabilized. For this particular situation, the best course of action was to install our PowerBrace Foundation Wall Repair System. This is the most ideal situation if you are dealing with a failing foundation. If you have walls that are bowing, buckling, or tilting inwards, installing a PowerBrace system can stop any further damage and potentially straighten the wall. A great thing about this system is that it can be adjusted at any time, therefore the brace can be tightened when need be to attempt to raise the wall back to its original position. What’s the best part about PowerBrace? It doesn’t require any exterior excavation and it’s a very quick installation.

Naman from Holt, MI needed his driveway and a couple of slabs on his walkway to be leveled. Fortunately for him, we have the perfect solution for this: PolyLevel injections. 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 also extremely quick. It only takes about 15 minutes to cure, and at that point it’s ready for full loading. This is especially important for Naman’s situation, because his driveway received PolyLevel injection, so if he needed to leave soon after we finished, he would be able to because he wouldn’t have to worry about curing taking more than 15 minutes.

Kathryn J. inherited her father’s home in Higgins Lake, MI. She soon became unhappy with the damp musty smell rising up from the crawl space. One day Kathryn saw an Ayers truck at a home in her neighborhood. She stopped and talked to our team member about getting someone out to inspect her crawl space.

When Kathryn’s appointment date arrived, we sent Senior System Design Specialist Roger Powell to her rescue. Roger went to our new friends’ home and created an individualized solution proposal consisting of our CleanSpace crawlspace encapsulation system and the SaniDry Sedona dehumidification system. Kathryn had several other proposals drawn up by other local companies, but ultimately, she felt Ayers could best meet her needs. We returned to our new friends’ home and put our proposed plan into action. Since the transformation Kathryn has said she can definitely feel the difference, the musty smell is gone, and her energy cost have dropped. Like Kathryn, if you are tired of the musty smell in your crawl space, give us a call to see what the CleanSpace can do for you.

Nancy had an unsightly crawl space that had lots of moisture and effloresence on the concrete walls.  Effloresence is the white powder you see on concrete, which is a clear sign that water has began to wash some of the minerals and salt out of the concrete. This is not healthy to have in your home because the moisture is a homebase for mold and could eventually compromise the whole home if the damage advanced.

Our team fixed the unsightly crawl space by insulating it with SilverGlo wall and rim joist insulation to keep moisture out and heat inside. The SilverGlo wall helps by keeping heat inside and moisture outside and it also makes your crawl space look like more than just some scary hole.

We took a look and installed the PowerBrace Wall Repair System to stabilize the wall. The PowerBrace consists of steel beams that are secured to the joists above the wall with steel brackets. This system doesn't involve any exterior excavation and installs quickly with minimal disruption to your basement space.

Clarks front porch steps had fallen 3 inches and wanted it raised back up as to not cause an injury. We used PolyLevel to lift the steps back up to the original position. PolyLevel is an inject-able foam that is waterproof and stable so it won't wash away or react with soil. The best part is it cures in about 15 minutes so it won't disrupt the homeowners.

This homeowner did not have water issues but he wanted to mak sure that he wouldn't so he called us. We installed the TripleSafe Sump Pump System which provides your basement or crawlspace with three levels of protection. The TripleSafe has three levels of pumps and if the first one goes out, the second one turns on and same for the third. This makes sure that water will be discharged out of the home on the event of one pump malfunctioning or a power outage.

Mark had some cracks in his basement walls that could be seen on the outside. The walls were also starting to bow and there are a lot of pipes on the wall. He called us to save his home and we had just the product. We installed the GeoLock Wall Anchors to help stabilize the wall. This system is made of galvanized steel that provide a long-lasting solution in preventing wall movement. The anchors work by extending from your wall to the stable, hard packed soil beyond the home. They anchor into the stronger soils and brace the foundation wall. This system is installed with minimal disruption to your lawn and won't damage the interior of your basement or take up usable space. 

Cliff has noticed that his foundation has separated from his porch and was unsure if the porch was settling or if it was his home. He called us to get it fixed so no other problems could arise. We used PolyLevel inject-able foam to lift the porch back up and return it to the correct position. The foam is waterproof, stable, and very strong. It also cures in only 15 minutes so it does not disrupt the homeowner.

This Holt family has water in their partially finished basement from where the floor meets the wall. We installed the WaterGuard system to keep the water out of the basement. The WaterGuard is a French drain that is installed under the floor but above the foundation to keep it out of the area where it could clog. It collects the water and drains it to the sump pump. We also installed the CleanSpace Wall System that keeps water vapor from passing through your foundation walls. With anti-microbial protection called UltraFresh built right in, no mold or mildew will grow on the CleanSpace!

This Holt homeowner wanted his crawl space encapsulated to keep the water and pests out. We first laid down drainage matting which had dimples in it to allow water to move under and flow to the sump pump. We then installed the CleanSpace Liner which is a thick durable liner similar to that of a pool liner. This liner prevents water vapor and humidity from passing into the space. It has a mold-resistant additive built in that will never support mildew or mold growth on its surface. A dry crawl space is a inhospitable environment for termites, cockroaches, ants, crickets, and many other pests. The white liner also deters mice and rats. Lastly, we installed the SmartSump Crawl Space Sump Pump System which is specifically designed for crawl spaces and can provide all the protection you need from leaks and floods.  

This homeowner had a very noisy sump pump as well as getting a lot of iron bacteria in the pump and discharge lines. Eric recently moved into the home but the lines and pump have backed up before causing a flood in the basement. Eric wanted to avoid the possibility altogether so he called us for a solution. We installed the TripleSafe sump pump system which will provide 3 levels of protection to the home in case of pump malfunction or a power outage. The TripleSafe also allows for a second discharge line which provides the water a secondary escape route. 

This East Lansing home had some water intrusion in the basement. We installed the WaterGuard to keep the space dry. The WaterGuard is a French drain system that is under the floor but above the foundation to keep it out of the "mud zone" where the drain could clog. The drain collects water that seeps into the basement and sends it to the sump pump where it is discharged outside of the home.

This family has uneven concrete on their back porch and in the winter the rain pools which turns into ice. It is unsafe and they wanted it fixed. We used PolyLevel to lift up the sunken slabs and keep the water from pooling. PolyLevel is a strong injectable foam that is waterproof so it won't get washed away. It also cures in a very short amount of time so that it won't disrupt the homeowners. They can be back on it and using it in 15 minutes.

Tovah has standing water in the basement. The basement drain in his older house floods and he thinks he needs a sump pump to make sure the water won't flood his area. We installed the TripleSafe sump pump system for him. This sump pump provides 3 levels of protection in case of pump malfunction or a power outage. We also installed the IceGuard Discharge Line System. In the winter, water in the discharge line can freeze which causes back ups that could lead to flooding. With the IceGuard, the water has a secondary escape route through the slotted openings in the drain pipe. This ensures that any water your sump pump is removing from your basement is safely cleared away outside your home, preventing any backed up or frozen lines.

This Okemos homeowner has a sidewalk near the front door that has sunk about 2 inches. He wanted it lifted so the concrete was level and no one would trip. We used PolyLevel to lift the fallen concrete to ensure the homeowner had peace of mind. PolyLevel is a light weight injectable foam that is injected under the concrete slab. It is waterproof and stable so it won't wash away or react with the soil. The best part about PolyLevel is that it cures in about 15 minutes so that it won't disrupt the owner or guests.

This Williamston home had an addition added recently that has a basement. A wall to the area under the addition leaks constantly during wet seasons as well as during heavy rain. There is a sump pump but the water enters where the floor and wall meet and doesn't flow to the pump. We installed the WaterGuard system to keep water out of that basement. WaterGuard is a French drain system that is installed under the floor but above foundation to keep it out of the area where the drain could clog. The drain collects the water that leaks into the basement and sends it to the sump pump to be expelled out of the basement.

This Williamston family wants to redo their basement to create a living space and some bedrooms. They want the basement to be safe for the growing family and wanted to get Egress windows. We installed the Egress windows which are large enough to allow safe exit out of the space in case of an emergency and allow more natural light into the basement to make the space feel larger and more inviting. The well that is around the window is made up of one piece so that it will not collapse from backfill or allow water to leak through the well walls. The wells are also engineered for safety because there is a ladder attached so there is a direct escape in case of an emergency.

This Williamston home owner didn't really have a ton of water issues but wanted to upgrade his sump pump system. We installed the TripleSafe for him which provides 3 levels of protection to the basement in case of a power outage or pump malfunction.

Dan W's crawl space had water seepage during heavy rains. Water entered the space through the walls, floor and foundation causing ongoing issues for the family. Customer is looking to sell home and wanted to have the crawl space encapsulated correctly for new owners. We installed CleanSpace crawl space waterproof liner complete with the a perimeter drainage system that captures the water from the walls and floor and funnels it to the newly installed SuperSump pump. We also added a SaniDry dehumidifier to reduces ongoing moisture in the crawl space that is often the cause of mold or mildew. Encapsulating the crawl space also sets the family up to finish their basement because as long as there is moisture, the dampness will prevail. 

Pat was having a problem with moisture in his crawlspace. This can happen when a crawlspace is exposed somewhere to outside elements. Pat's crawlspace happens to also have dirt floors which can cause increased water vapor and moisture in the air. Pat was right to worry about these two problems, as they cause mold which is bad for your overall health, and can start to really stink up your house. 

Our team came out and installed multiple different systems to help Pat with his crawlspace. We installed the SmartSump Sump Pump system that is built to work in tandem with CleanSpace and the SaniDry Sedona. CleanSpace is a nonstop vapor barrier that will keep outside elements, water, critters, and debris from getting inside your crawlspace. The SaniDry Sedona is more powerful than any other dehumidifier and drains automatically so you don’t have to empty out any water from the system. It will control humidity and make sure to stop mold growth, kill off dust mites, and make your whole house drier and healthier. All of this will drain outside through the barely visible LawnScape Outlet and IceGuard outlet where water can exit even in freezing temperatures. 

After a successful installation, Pat no longer has to worry about any moisture, mold, or smells in his crawlspace. He can confidently use his crawlspace as storage without worrying about his personal belongings being ruined by moisture and dirt. 

Sarah and Anthony were having some foundation wall issues in their basement. There were two walls that were bowing and one that seemed to be crumbling to the point you could see sunlight through the crack. We used PoweBraces to stabilize the wall. This system stops further damage and can potentially straighten the wall. The PowerBraces are steel I-beams that are secured to the joists above the wall with steel brackets. 

Jose and Jennifer were having trouble with pooling water in their home in East Lansing. Pooling water usually happens with heavy rain/snowmelt and can cause significant damage to a home. Jose and Jennifer noticed the start of damage and called our team to help them prevent any further harm to their basement. 

Our team installed the WaterGuard system along with TripleSafe. The WaterGuard drain will catch any leakage from higher walls or floors before it reaches your basement floor. Other perks are that this system is almost invisible after it is set up and has a quicker and easier installation process than outdoor drains. The TripleSafe system is unique in that it is a battery-operated sump pump system with three pumps. One pump is for everyday use, one pump is for larger than average volumes of water, and one pump is for when the power goes out to ensure drainage even in the dark.

This gives Jose and Jennifer a foolproof system to keep water out of their basement, preventing any further damage and pooling water. 

Lyle called us to check about a water issue in his crawl space and the possibility of encapsulating the space. We first installed Drainage Matting which has dimples in it to allow the flow of water to the sump pump. Due to the crawl space having a dirt floor we used TerraBlock to insulate the space and keep moisture from coming in through the ground. Next, we installed the CleanSpace Liner which prevents water vapor and humidity from passing through. It also has a mold resistant additive so your crawl space will not support mold growth or mildew. Lastly, we installed the DoubleSafe sump pump to keep any water out of the area to maintain a dry, useable space. 

Michelle’s floors squeaked with every step anyone took around her house. The sound was unbearable to Michelle. Along with the squeak, her crawl space was in need of a serious upgrade. The dirt floor space was causing moisture, which is most definitely contributing to the squeak, and looked dirty and unkempt in contrast to the rest of her nice home. 

To help with the moisture our team installed CleanSpace, an uninterrupted vapor barrier that restricts all moisture, outside air, and pests from entering your crawl space. This system creates an energy-efficient space by restricting air movement and controlling the temperature and also gives it a clean finish.

To help with the squeaking our team installed SmartJacks, a system produced to halt your sagging floors. Floors above basements and crawl spaces are vulnerable due to the damp nature of the lowest floor. The Smart Jack system is a permanent fix to these issues. It uses steel columns, threaded rods, and a solid base to address any problems your basement may have. Installing this system usually takes less than a day and it provides immediate stabilization. 

Michelle can walk on her floors with no sign of any squeaking and won’t have to look at any dirt floors in her basement. Her space can be repurposed for storage now that there are no signs of any dampness, moisture, or dirt. 

Kristina was having trouble with iron ochre deposits in her basement, as well as just unwanted moisture in her space. Iron Ochre is a byproduct of iron bacteria and is commonly found in Michigan basements with unwanted moisture. 

Our team came out and installed our WaterGuard Iron Ochre System. The WaterGuard drain will catch any leakage from higher walls or floors before it reaches her basement floor. The drain is installed inside and has a removable cover making it easy to clean out or flush out any deposits of Iron Ochre. Our team also installed CarbonArmor, a wall reinforcing system. CarbonArmor fixes damaged, cracked, or bowing walls which are all very serious problems and can cause even more serious problems if they aren't fixed properly. CarbonArmor prevents the inward movement of your walls and reduces their cracks. In addition, this system can easily be concealed in order to give Kristina’s basement a finished, sleek look. 

Chris was having trouble with moisture in his crawl space. Moisture can cause unwanted smells, mold growth, and decreased overall home health. Our team installed CleanSpace, a vapor barrier to restrict all moisture, outside air, and pests from entering the crawl space. It is applied to the floors and walls to create that uninterrupted barrier to restrict air movement and control the temperature of the space, which is helpful for controlling the temperature of the whole house. Controlling the temperature creates an energy-efficient crawl space and carefully placing the CleanSpace gives it a clean and refreshed look. The installation will ensure that Chris will no longer have to worry about moisture and the future problems moisture may cause.

Ella had water intruding into her basement from the floors. She suspected that it comes back up from the drain since their yard isn’t graded. They have a sump pump but in the spring it can’t keep up and they get up to 4 inches of standing water. In addition to water damage, Ella’s basement is presenting signs of bowing walls which can become a serious foundation problem in the future. 

To waterproof Ella’s basement, our team installed the TripleSafe Sump Pump, the WaterGuard Drain, and the IceGuard systems. WaterGuard is a drainage system that is installed inside the home that catches water that falls from higher up on the walls and elsewhere in the basement. Waterguard is easily installed and is nearly invisible once the concrete is replaced and dries. This drains into the TripleSafe Sump Pump system that will pump the water out to the barely visible LawnScape Outlet and away from the house. As a secondary measure, the IceGuard system was also installed so that water can be expelled from the house even in freezing temperatures. The TripleSafe system is unique in that it is a battery-operated system with three pumps, one for everyday use, one for larger than average volumes of water, and one for when the power goes out to ensure drainage even in the dark. 

In order to stabilize the walls, our team installed CarbonArmor, a wall reinforcing system. CarbonArmor fixes damaged, cracked, or bowing walls which are all very serious problems and can cause even more serious problems if they aren't fixed properly. CarbonArmor prevents the inward movement of your walls and reduces their cracks. In addition, this system can easily be concealed in order to give Ella's basement a finished, sleek look. 

Ella will be protected in her basement for a long time. Her walls will be secure and stable and even in the springtime, she won’t have to worry about flooding or standing water.

Kelly was having seepage through her basement walls and needed to get it waterproofed. There was already plenty of evidence of water damage and Kelly knew that if it continued further, there would probably be mold growth and the risk of other foundation problems. Our team came out and installed the Double Safe sump pump, the WaterGuard drainage system, IceGuard, and CleanSpace in Kelly’s Basement.

The DoubleSafe sump pump has two pumps one for normal everyday, round the clock pumping and one for when there is a higher incoming level of water.  WaterGuard is a drainage system that is installed inside the home that catches water that falls from higher up on the walls and elsewhere in the basement. It is easily installed and is nearly invisible once the concrete is replaced and dries. All of this water is pumped out through the nearly invisible LawnScape Outlet that leaves no obstacle in the yard making lawn mowing and use of the yard much easier than having an above ground drain. They also installed IceGuard which will ensure that water gets pumped out of the house even in the freezing Michigan Winter. 

CleanSpace is a vapor barrier to restrict all moisture, outside air, and pests from entering the crawl space. It is applied to the floors and walls creating that uninterrupted barrier to restrict air movement and control the temperature of the space. Controlling the temperature creates an energy-efficient crawl space and carefully placing the CleanSpace gives it a clean and refreshed look. 

Kelly’s basement is now fully waterproofed and will be dry for years to come. This will save Kelly from further water damage and flooding. She now also has an encapsulated crawl space to help with temperature control and insulation of the house.

Ryan and Andrea had some flooding in their basement and were starting to see significant water damage. On top of that they had bowing in their walls which is a sign they are not entirely stable. Our team came out and installed CarbonArmor and WaterGuard.

Sharon was looking to have the entrance to her crawl space sealed off and protected from the outside elements. On top of that her home, especially above the crawl space, was cold and felt poorly insulated. Our team came and installed the EverLast Crawl Space Door, CleanSpace, and SilverGlo Insulation to tackle the problems in Sharon's CrawlSpace. 

Typical wood crawl space doors  can deteriorate over time and can allow insects and other pests to get in your crawl space. Not to mention, wood leaves room for outside air which makes the space cold and damp. Everlast doors are made from thick PVC Plastic and secured with weatherproof knobs. Unlike wood it won't shrink or deteriorate over time and it won't require any maintenance. Once installed, the door will ensure that your space is sealed off from outside intrusions and keeps the space warm. SilverGlo insulation are rigid foam insulation boards. They do not provide a home for any pests, they do not support mold, and they never lose insulating value. SilverGlo boards are easily cut and installed in any space and taping between the boards creates an effective air barrier. These boards ensure that any space they are placed will be warm and insulated long term. SilverGlo is applied first and then CleanSpace on top. CleanSpace is an uninterrupted vapor barrier designed to keep out any unwanted pests, moisture, and mold. This barrier restricts airflow and therefore makes controlling the temperature of the home much easier. CleanSpace is applied to the floors and walls and wrapped around pillars and piers carefully to ensure that the space looks clean and refreshed. 

Sharon will now have a sealed and insulated space built to last. She will no longer worry about pests, moisture, or unwanted outside air.

Ellen was having some issues with water intrusion through cracks in the basement wall near her water heater. She also had a discharge line for her sump pump but wanted it redirected and properly buried. We were able to redirect it and make sure there were not any issues with the sump pump or discharge line anymore. To fix the water issue in the basement we installed FlexiSpan. FlexiSpan Wall Crack Repair is made of open cell foam and waterproof sealant so it is deigned to move with the wall. Being able to move with the wall ensures that the crack is always sealed even when there is a change in the wall. The best part is that it installs smoothly over a wall and its neutral color will fit with a concrete wall.

Bob was having trouble with moisture in and outside of his home. The moisture inside the home consisted of some water leaking through a crack in the wall causing water damage both around the crack and on the floor. The moisture in the soil underneath the home caused settling which could be the source of the cracking and other foundation issues. To solve both the indoor and outdoor moisture our team installed Helical Piers, CleanSpace, and the WaterGuard Drain System. 

Sometimes after homes are built they can experience foundation settling if the soil under them expands and contracts substantially with weather conditions. This can cause a plethora of foundation problems including cracking and bowing walls, foundation shrinkage or expansion, and water in the basement. Helical Piers stabilize settling foundations by connecting the foundation of a home to load-bearing soil by drilling long piers into the ground under a home. The permanent solution is less invasive than it sounds and lasts a lifetime and more. CleanSpace is an uninterrupted vapor barrier designed to keep out any unwanted pests, moisture, and mold. This barrier restricts airflow and therefore makes controlling the temperature of the home much easier. CleanSpace is applied to the floors and walls and wrapped around pillars and piers carefully to ensure that the space looks clean and refreshed. Finally, the WaterGuard drain is designed to capture water seepage through the walls and any leaks along where the floor and the wall meet. It’s large in diameter and is easy to get into making clogging extremely unlikely. On top of that, it is faster, easier, and less expensive than outdoor drains and will be nearly invisible once the concrete is replaced and dried. 

The three of these systems combined will work to ensure that the damage that has already been done is repaired and that no future damage will occur. Bob can live stress-free in his home knowing the foundation is dry and stable. 

Evita, like many homeowners, experienced flooding her basement during heavy springtime rains. Even if the flooding only exists for a month or two out of the year, unwanted water in your home can lead to a lot of lasting damage over time. To put the flooding and any lasting water to a stop, our team installed WaterGuard, TripleSafe, and IceGuard. 

The WaterGuard drain is designed to capture water seepage through the walls and any leaks along where the floor and the wall meet. It’s large in diameter and is easy to get into making clogging extremely unlikely. On top of that, it is faster, easier, and less expensive than outdoor drains and will be nearly invisible once the concrete is replaced and dried. This water drains right into the TripleSafe Sump Pump. The TripleSafe sump pump system offers three different levels of support when it comes to pumping water out of your basement. There is one pump for everyday normal levels of water, one, more powerful, pump for heavier volumes of water, and one battery-operated pump that will keep you protected in power outages. The IceGuard System makes sure water is expelled from the house in freezing temperatures like the ones we have in Michigan winters. This ensures homeowners do not have to worry about frozen water blocking the pipes and drainage system. 

Even in times of heavy rainfall Evita can be confident that her home is protected against floods. She can also live stress free knowing that her home won't experience any lasting water damage. 

Cindy and David had unwanted water flowing into their basement. This was causing damage to their floor and their walls. Our team came out and installed WaterGuard and the WaterGuard Discharge Port, as well as an exterior discharge line. 

The WaterGuard drain is designed to capture water seepage through the walls and any leaks along where the floor and the wall meet. It’s large in diameter and is easy to get into making clogging extremely unlikely. On top of that, it is faster, easier, and less expensive than outdoor drains and will be nearly invisible once the concrete is replaced and dried. The WaterGuard Port is also nearly invisible in your lawn when installed and isn’t an obstruction while mowing the lawn or hanging out in the yard. 

We love our teams because they always go the extra mile. They noticed that where the new sod was laid, the lawn and the sod were splitting a little bit. They came back with grass seed and made sure to liberally apply it so come summer there will be no noticeable difference. Cindy and David were very happy and now enjoy their home without worry of water intrusion. 

Maria has some leftover waterproofing systems in her house from the previous owner, but she's not so sure they are enough for what she needs now in her home. Our specialist came out to assess and agreed she definitely needed an upgrade so our team came out and installed the SuperSump Plus sump pump, IceGuard, the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, and SmartJacks for both waterproofing and foundation support. 

The SuperSump Plus sump pump has a unique lid design so that water can drain down but the damp air will not sneak back up into your space. When there is an indication of flooding an alarm will sound to alert you so you have plenty of time to take action. The plus part means that Maria got a battery powered backup so that she is still protected during power outages. The IceGuard System makes sure water is expelled from the house in freezing temperatures like the ones we have in Michigan winters. This ensures homeowners do not have to worry about frozen water blocking the pipes and drainage system. The SaniDry Sedona is more powerful than any other dehumidifier and drains automatically so you don't have to worry about emptying the water yourself. It will control the humidity and make sure to stop mold growth, kill dust mites, and make your whole house healthier. 

SmartJacks support sagging floor joists and beams.  Floors above basements and crawl spaces are vulnerable due to the damp nature of the lowest floor. The SmartJack system is a permanent fix to these issues. It uses steel columns, threaded rods, and a solid base to address any problems your basement may have. Installing this system usually takes less than a day and it provides immediate stabilization.

The best part about this job is that Ayers does their gift baskets through Maria’s store! We love having local connections and being able to help out when we can. With a stabilized and dry foundation, Maria can now go back to focusing on her local business. 

Pamela called us previously to come waterproof her basement. She wasn’t ready to push forward with the full waterproofing system but ended up calling us back a few years later. We are honored that she trusted us a second time with the rest of her system. This time our team came back and installed CleanSpace, the SmartSump sump pump, and IceGuard. 

Clean space is an uninterrupted vapor barrier designed to keep out any unwanted pests, moisture, and mold. This barrier restricts airflow and therefore makes controlling the temperature of the home much easier. CleanSpace is applied to the floors and walls and wrapped around pillars and piers carefully to ensure that the space looks clean and refreshed. 

The SmartSump Sump Pump has a unique lid design so that water can drain down but the damp air will not sneak back up into your space. When there is an indication of flooding an alarm will sound to alert you so you have plenty of time to take action and additionally you can also have a battery-powered backup installed so your pump will work in power outages. The IceGuard System makes sure water is expelled from the house in freezing temperatures like the ones we have in Michigan winters. This ensures homeowners do not have to worry about frozen water blocking the pipes and drainage system. 

Pamela’s basement is now completely waterproofed and she will not have to worry about any water sneaking in. Thanks Pamela for trusting Ayers!

We are Michigan-made, Michigan-local, and passionate about the people in our community. That being said, when people call us about flooding in their basement or foundation problems, they are rightfully under a lot of stress. It’s usually not a happy day when you have to call our team to come out to your home. Sara and Anthony were really good sports when they called us about their bowing walls, mold problem, And cracking foundation. We were able to install the PowerBrace Wall Reinforcing System and SmartJack Beams.

SmartJacks support sagging floor joists and beams.  Floors above basements and crawl spaces are vulnerable due to the damp nature of the lowest floor. The SmartJack system is a permanent fix to these issues. It uses steel columns, threaded rods, and a solid base to address any problems your basement may have. Installing this system usually takes less than a day and it provides immediate stabilization.

PowerBrace puts any bowing, buckling, or tilting walls back in their place. The system will stop any further damage. The steel I-beams are secured to the joists with steel brackets above the wall. This system is installed quickly with no exterior excavation and installs quickly with minimal disruption in your home. 

Thank you to Sara and Anthony for being such fun customers. We are glad that we could be there in your time of need and that now you will have straight and supportive walls for years and years to come. 

Brad and Stephanie had a crawl space that had a dirt floor and they wanted it sealed off. We used Drainage Matting and CleanSpace to encapsulate the crawl space. Drainage Matting has dimples in it to allow the flow of water under the liner and directs it to a sump pump or drain system to be expelled out of the home. The CleanSpace Liner is a thick, durable liner similar to a pool liner. It keeps humidity and water vapor out of crawl space. By keeping the space dry, you are helping to prevent mold and rot as well as pests from the crawl space. 

Jose has intermittent pooling water in his basement during snowmelt or heavy rain.  He wanted to take preventative measures to get ahead of any permanent water damage by installing a waterproofing system right away and boy is that smart. Jose is saving himself thousands of dollars in the future by waterproofing now and not waiting until future damage occurs. Our team came out and installed WaterGuard, IceGuard, and the SuperSump Plus. 

The SuperSump Sump Pump has a unique lid design so that water can drain down but the damp air will not sneak back up into your space. When there is an indication of flooding an alarm will sound to alert you so you have plenty of time to take action and additionally you can also have a battery-powered backup installed so your pump will work in power outages. The IceGuard System makes sure water is expelled from the house in freezing temperatures like the ones we have in Michigan winters. This ensures homeowners do not have to worry about frozen water blocking the pipes and drainage system. The WaterGuard drain is designed to capture water seepage through the walls and any leaks along where the floor and the wall meet. It’s large in diameter and is easy to get into making clogging extremely unlikely. On top of that, it is faster, easier, and less expensive than outdoor drains and will be nearly invisible once the concrete is replaced and dried. 

Jose’s basement will now be dry and he won’t have to worry about any future water damage thanks to his smart thinking. If you think your home might be vulnerable to water damage, get ahead of it now before it’s visible and causes structural damage that will cost you much more money than the waterproofing system.

Charles and Agnes had water coming into their basement in a corner when rain was heavy. They wanted to fix the home so when it gets passed on to the kids, it is easier to sell and they don't want to spend all their time vacuuming up the water. We installed a waterproofing system to keep the home dry and allow the family to enjoy their time together. We started with the WaterGuard which is a French drain system that collects water coming into the basement and sending it to the sump pump. We also installed the TripleSafe Sump Pump System which provides three levels of protection in case of pump malfunction or a power outage and gives the homeowner peace of mind. Lastly, we installed the SaniDry XP, a basement dehumidifier that keeps dry air circulating throughout to keep the basement dry. This model is small in size and can be easily stored in a corner or closet so it won't interfere with a finished basement. 

Taylor and Tyler were looking for encapsulation for their crawl space. They couldn’t see any moisture but there were water stains indicating that there had been some intruding water. This is not a good sign so she called our team. Our team came out and installed CleanSpace. Clean space is an uninterrupted vapor barrier designed to keep out any unwanted pests, moisture, and mold. This barrier restricts airflow and therefore makes controlling the temperature of the home much easier. CleanSpace is applied to the floors and walls and wrapped around pillars and piers carefully to ensure that the space looks clean and refreshed. Now they don't have to worry about looking for the source of the moisture, they are protected everywhere. 

Ralph and Alice had water coming into their home during heavy rain. To get rid of the water, they had to squeegee it to the drain since the water was coming in where the floor and foundation met in several paces. They also had stair step cracks in the walls that were just starting to separate. We had solutions to fix both of the home issues.

To stabilize the wall and keep it from cracking any more, we used CarbonArmor which are flexible carbon fiber straps that are secured to the wall using a high strength epoxy resin. They install quickly and won't impact future basement finishing. For the water intrusion, we installed the WaterGuard which is a French drain system that collects water that seeps into the area and sends it to the sump pump to be expelled out of the home. The drain is installed under the floor but above the foundation so that it won't clog, it installs quickly, and all concrete is restored after installation so you don't have to worry about an unsightly drain. Lastly we installed the DoubleSafe Sump Pump to keep the water out of the basement and the area dry!

Jeff had water standing in his crawl space. This was not ideal as he was in the middle of selling his home. Water entered the crawl spce through an unsealed downspout every time it rained. The 70-year-old home had a dirt crawl space and so we installed our complete French drain perimeter system called WaterGuard which captures instrusive water and channels it to the newly installed sump pump. We added drainage matting to the dirt floor to capture any other water that may enter the space and then applied a waterproof, antimicrobial plastic liner called CleanSpace to the floors and wall of the crawl space. We also recommend adding a dehumidifier to your crawl space to control moisture caused by humidity or other water issues.

This Holt home had a three season room where one corner was lower than the rest and it was causing the windows to stick and the floors to be uneven. We installed SmartJacks to stabilize the foundation and keep it from sinking further. This system consists of steel support beams that are attached to your floor joists and a sturdy base at the floor. Once all posts are installed, they are adjusted to raise your floors back to a level position. These ensure that the home will have a permeant solution to the sticking windows, sinking corner, and uneven floors.

This Lansing building is used as a church but as you approach the front doors, the concrete is sinking and cracked all over. We used PolyLevel to lift and level the concrete and then NexusPro Crack Repair. PolyLevel is a strong foam that is injected under the sunken concrete to lift it back to level position. It is waterproof so it won't get washed away and cures in about 15 minutes. NexusPro is a silicone-based filler that prevents water and debris from degrading the concrete from below. It can withstand harsh weather, won't crack, won't dry out, and like PolyLevel it dries in a short amount of time- about an hour. 

Jessica had some cracking in her foundation slab. She was noticing some moisture coming up through the cracks and needed a product to ensure the moisture wasn't affecting her foundation so our team came out and installed PolyLevel. PolyLevel injections are designed to fix sinking and cracking concrete slabs by bringing them back to their original level. This is achieved by using a polyurethane foam. The foam expands and has a high density in order to raise the concrete. The process is simple and done by drilling small holes into the concrete and then inserting the foam into the holes. The foam is completely waterproof, minimally invasive and lasts forever. Now Jessica will have an even foundation and after the cracks get sealed she won't have to worry about any moisture coming up through the cracks.

Deonne previously had an issue with iron ochre that we helped take care of for her. Part of clearing up and keeping away iron ochre is taking preventative measures for the future so we came back to install the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier so that any and all humidity that could be contributing to the problem is taken care of. Deonna also noticed that her window well was collecting water and debris so we installed a SunHouse Window Well and cover and an Everlast Egress Window. 

The SaniDry Sedona is more powerful than any other dehumidifier and drains automatically so you don't have to worry about emptying the water yourself. It will control the humidity and make sure to stop mold growth, kill dust mites, and make your whole house healthier. 

Typically window wells are dreary and full of debris, pests and water. SunHouse Window Wells are designed to bring light and brightness into your space. Not only will the well bring light, it won't deteriorate or rust over time. This maintenance free option can also come with a cover to keep all the debris out making it a no brainer purchase for your home. 

With these products Deonne’s crawl space will be completely waterproofed, bright, and airy. Most of all, Deonne will have peace of mind knowing that no further foundation problems or damage will occur because of the previous moisture she had coming in. 

The new owner of this East Lansing company was not sure how long water issues had been happening but wanted it fixed when the property was undergoing renovations. Water had been coming in through patches in the basement floor as well as where the wall and floor met. To resolve the issue, we started with installing the TripleSafe Sump Pump to keep the water out of the business. It provides three levels of protection to keep the water out in case of any power outage or pump malfunction. We then installed the WaterGuard which is a drain that goes under the floor but atop the foundation to keep it from clogging. It collects the water that seeps into the basement and sends it to the sump pump to be expelled outside of the business.

Stewart suspected he had a sagging floor so he called our team to come and take a look. Our team came and took a look and agreed Stewart was right, his floor was sagging and needed a system to stabilize it before the problem grew any worse. To do this our team came out and installed SmartJacks. SmartJacks support sagging floor joists and beams.  Floors above basements and crawl spaces are vulnerable due to the damp nature of the lowest floor. The SmartJack system is a permanent fix to these issues. It uses steel columns, threaded rods, and a solid base to address any problems your basement may have. Installing this system usually takes less than a day and it provides immediate stabilization. Now Stewart won't have to worry about walking on his own floor at home, he can walk around assured that his foundation is stable. 

Shawn’s walkway has settled quite a bit since he moved into his home causing the concrete slabs to become increasingly uneven and in need of repair. To bring them back to the original level our team came out and installed PolyLevel. PolyLevel injections are designed to fix sinking and cracking concrete slabs by bringing them back to their original level. This is achieved by using polyurethane foam. The foam expands and has a high density in order to raise the concrete. The process is simple and done by drilling small holes into the concrete and then inserting the foam into the holes. The foam is completely waterproof, minimally invasive, and lasts forever. This system puts an end to any problems Shawn was having or might have in the future, and makes his walkway look good as new. 

Pearl and her husband had a wall in the basement that was starting to bow/buckle. This was their forever home so they wanted to fix everything that needed to be fixed for the home to last. We used CarbonArmor to stabilize the wall. CarbonArmor is made up of flexible carbon fiber fabric straps that are adhered to the wall using a high strength epoxy resin. This system installs quickly and does not impact any suture basement finishing’s.

This Muskegon couple was referred to us by a family member who had a similar issue and needed a fix soon. The front porch had a section that was sinking, cracked, and dropped quite a bit. The homeowners were worried as there are support beams for an overhanging roof on the porch and they wanted their home to be safe. We used PolyLevel to lift and level the front porch to make sure the roof was stabilized. PolyLevel is an injectable foam that goes under the concrete slab. It is waterproof so it won't get washed away and it cures in about 15 minutes. To seal the crack, we used NexusPro which keeps things from getting under the concrete and degrading it from below. It can stand harsh weather, won't dry out, and it cures in about an hour.

Robert and Susan had water coming into their basement where the wall and floor meet. The area where the water was coming in was close to the sump pump crock so it drained into there but the owners still wanted the basement to be waterproofed. We installed the WaterGuard system to collect the water that seeps in and drains it directly to the sump pump. The WaterGuard is installed below the floor but above the foundation to keep it out of the "mud zone" where the drain could clog. After installation, all concrete is restored so it won't impact future basement finishings! 

Monica and Chris have a basement that they would like to finish and use as a playroom for their kids. They want this space to be safe and they know that a finished basement has to have an egress window. An Egress window allows for a safe exit in case of emergencies due to the larger size and the window well that contains a ladder or stairs. The larger sized window also allows more natural light into the basement making the room appear larger and more welcoming! 

Donald wanted his basement to be waterproofed. Part of the basement was finished but he was getting some water in and wanted that addressed as soon as possible. We installed the WaterGuard drain system to collect the water and send it to the sump pump. The drain is installed under the floor so you do not have an unsightly drain in the finished space. We then installed the TripleSafe sump pump to send the water outside of the home and provide protection to the basement even in events of a pump malfunction or power outage. Lastly, we added the SaniDry XP to keep the basement dry by blowing dry air throughout the space and filtering the air for mold and dust particles. 

Jerry called on behalf of his church that really needed a new walkway. The old one had settled about 4 inches and had a large crack in it. It needed to be raised to its original level so people could come to church and not worry about tripping and falling on the way in. Our team came out and installed PolyLevel. PolyLevel injections are designed to fix sinking and cracking concrete slabs by bringing them back to their original level. This is achieved by using polyurethane foam. The foam expands and has a high density in order to raise the concrete. The process is simple and done by drilling small holes into the concrete and then inserting the foam into the holes. The foam is completely waterproof, minimally invasive, and lasts forever. Now Jerry and his church community can be assured that they are safe walking in the building.

This Okemos couple has been in their home for about 2 years and started to notice water coming in a couple of months ago. The water only comes in during heavy rain and they have just been putting towels down to soak up the water. They need the space for storage so they need it to be dry and clean. We installed the WaterGuard drain system to collect the water that leaks in and send it to the sump pump to be expelled outside the home. The system is installed under the floor but above the foundation so that it doesn't clog. After installation, the concrete is restored so you won't have an unsightly drain in your space!

Erin's step on the front porch was sinking as well as some cracks in the porch. We used PolyLevel and NexusPro to lift the concrete and seal the cracks. PolyLevel is a foam that is injected under concrete to lift it and level it where it was settled. The foam is waterproof and stable so it won't wash away or react with the soils. NexusPro seals the cracks and joints of the concrete to keep out debris or things that get under concrete to degrade it from below. The sealant is made to withstand harsh weather so it won't crack, dry out, or bubble. Both cure in a short amount of time so the process is not inconvenient for the homeowner.

Alyssa had a considerable amount of settling in parts of the driveway and walkway. Some areas have settled 5-6 inches while the others were about 4 inches. We used PolyLevel to raise the concrete slabs that had fallen and make them level with the others. PolyLevel is a waterproof foam that cures in about 15 minutes so the area can be full load-bearing in a short amount of time!

Gary, the general contractor of a commercial building in East Lansing called our team because he noticed water coming up through cracks in the floor. There was enough water to make a stream towards the drain on the floor. He isn't sure how long this has been going on, but the water damage is pretty significant so our team came out and installed the WaterGuard drainage system and TripleSafe sump pump. 

The WaterGuard drain is designed to capture water seepage through the walls and any leaks along where the floor and the wall meet. It’s large in diameter and is easy to get into making clogging extremely unlikely. On top of that, it is faster, easier, and less expensive than outdoor drains and will be nearly invisible once the concrete is replaced and dried. The TripleSafe sump pump system offers three different levels of support when it comes to pumping water out of your basement. There is one pump for everyday normal levels of water, one, more powerful, pump for heavier volumes of water, and one battery-operated pump that will keep you protected in power outages. 

Now Gary can continue his renovations and sell the building to a prospective business knowing he isn't passing on any problems.

This Lansing home had some basement walls that were bowing and allowing water to enter the space. When there is heavy rain, water intrusion is very noticeable in some of the corners. The family just had a baby and they want to keep the home clean and safe as well as maintain the property value. We used WaterGuard, TripleSafe, IceGuard, and the SaniDry XP to waterproof their home. 

The WaterGuard is a French drain system that is installed under the floor but above the foundation to keep it from clogging. The drain collects water that seeps into the space and sends it to the sump pump. The concrete is restored afterward so you don't have an unsightly drain in your space. The TripleSafe is a sump pump that will protect the home from water even in cases of pump malfunction or a power outage. The SaniDry XP is a basement air system that can be stored in a corner or closet so it does not take up usable space. This system keeps blows dry air throughout the space to dry out the basement. It also filters the air to remove very small particles to keep the air in the home clean. Lastly, the IceGuard is a discharge line system that provides water a secondary escape route in the winter so you don't have backed up discharged line which could lead to floods. 

Diane called us since she was concerned about the crack and settled concrete slab leading to her front door. She was pretty sure that the concrete sunk due to the rain and the downspout pipes underneath are no longer connected. Her in laws and and parents could trip so she needed it fixed as soon as possible. We replaced the buried downspout and used PolyLevel to lift the concrete slab. PolyLevel is a foam that is injected underneath to lift the slab back up and level out the walk way. It is waterproof so it won't get washed out and it cures in only 15 minutes so it is not an inconvenience. 

Fred’s back patio concrete slab was sinking down and becoming more and more uneven. He likes to have people over to enjoy the fire pit and backyard so having an uneven patio is not ideal. He was worried that someone may trip and fall and that the crack may extend and keep traveling throughout different parts of his patio. To solve this problem, our team came out and installed PolyLevel. PolyLevel injections are designed to fix sinking and cracking concrete slabs by bringing them back to their original level. This is achieved by using polyurethane foam. The foam expands and has a high density in order to raise the concrete. The process is simple and done by drilling small holes into the concrete and then inserting the foam into the holes. The foam is completely waterproof, minimally invasive, and lasts forever. Now Fred can entertain people in his backyard without worrying about the extra risk of the uneven concrete.

Victoria had mice issues in her crawl space so she wanted it to be encapsulated and doors added. We first laid down Drainage Matting to prevent water getting trapped under the liner if water got into the area. The raised dimples in the mat give the water that flood in a channel to be directed to the sump pump. We also installed the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier to prevent humidity, mice, and water vapor from entering the crawl space. By keeping the area dry, it helps to prevent the home and structure from mold or rot. Lastly we used the CleanSpace Crawl Space Vent Covers to keep out pests, cold winter weather, and moisture. These vent covers install quickly and create an airtight seal to protect your crawl space and home! 

An East Lansing sorority house was having problems in the basement due to moisture. The paint was starting to bubble and there was some worries about mold growing from the presence of water. We installed the WaterGuard drain system to collect the water that seeps in and send it to the sump pump to be expelled outside of the home. The drain goes under the floor but above the foundation to keep it from clogging and flooring is restored after installation. The installation is quickly and has a clean finished appearance. We also installed the SuperSump Plus Sump Pump which is the ideal solution if you have some water issues but not severe flooding problems. This sump pump works with the drain system to provide total protection for the house!

This Holt MI home is starting to settle on one side and causing cracks in and around the home. The house is in the process of being sold but the home needs to be safe and supported. We used Helical Piers to stabilize the home. These piers have fast and effective installation year-round so there is no need to worry about the home sinking further until it gets warmer outside. The best part about the Helical Piers is that they can all help to return the foundation back to the original level!  

Ben has a rental property in Lansing that was starting to settle. He needed it fixed to be able to rent it out and keep the people inside safe as well as the home standing. We used Helical Piers to stabilize the home and help to lift the foundation back up. These have quick, year-round installation so the home can be safe no matter the time of year!

Donald had water dripping into his home that was causing noticeable damage. There was discoloration on floors and walls especially in the corners. There was constant water so our team came out and installed a full waterproofing system including a WaterGuard Drain, IceGuard, a TripleSafe sump pump, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. 

The WaterGuard drain is designed to capture water seepage through the walls and any leaks along where the floor and the wall meet. It’s large in diameter and is easy to get into making clogging extremely unlikely. On top of that, it is faster, easier, and less expensive than outdoor drains and will be nearly invisible once the concrete is replaced and dried. The WaterGuard Port is also nearly invisible in your lawn when installed and isn’t an obstruction while mowing the lawn or hanging out in the yard. 

The TripleSafe sump pump system offers three different levels of support when it comes to pumping water out of your basement. There is one pump for everyday normal levels of water, one, more powerful, pump for heavier volumes of water, and one battery-operated pump that will keep you protected in power outages. The IceGuard System makes sure water is expelled from the house in freezing temperatures like the ones we have in Michigan winters. This ensures homeowners do not have to worry about frozen water blocking the pipes and drainage system.

The SaniDry Sedona is more powerful than any other dehumidifier and drains automatically so you don't have to worry about emptying the water yourself. It will control the humidity and make sure to stop mold growth, kill dust mites, and make your whole house healthier. 

Now Donald will have a completely dry basement and if he chooses, he can repaint and repair water damage without worrying about any repeat damage.

The area under the addition of Paul's home needs a cover for an entrance and to be sealed off. There was also a washout on the exterior of the home, exposing the foundation, and Paul could see a crack that is widening where the old and new foundation meet. He likes the area he lives and doesn't want the home to fall in when the wall collapses so he needed a fix soon.

We started with the wall and used PowerBraces to stabilize it. This system can also potentially straighten the wall back so the home is safe! The repair does not require exterior excavation and installs quickly. We also used the CleanSpace liner to seal off the area and keep out the water vapor, pests, and humidity. The liner has an additive that prevents mold growth and keeps the space dry. Lastly to seal the opening, we used CleanSpace Crawl Space Vent Covers. These keep outside air, winter cold, moisture, pests, and summer heat out of the area. The covers create an airtight seal and can be installed with the rest of the system!

Doug and his wife have had some water issues in the past and are getting nervous leading up to this coming winter. Last winter, their discharge line froze which caused a back up in the pipes and their basement flooded. To keep the sump pump working properly and the basement safe, we installed the IceGuard Discharge Line System. The IceGuard fits over the top of the discharge line and gives the water a secondary escape route through slotted openings in the drain pipe.

Falcon contacted us for flooring in her basement but then asked about our other services while we were on the floor. We did not offer the exact service she was looking for originally but she liked the idea of PolyLevel. She wanted us to level her walkway which had some areas that settled. PolyLevel is a foam that is injected under the concrete to lift it up and level out the area. The foam is waterproof so it won't wash away and light weight so that the weight on the concrete won't add pressure to the unstable soil. The best part is that the foam cures in about 15 minutes so it can be full load bearing in no time!

Shirley and her husband had a wet carpet smell in the basement a couple months ago and recently noticed wet carpet from water intrusion where the floor and wall meet. The basement is finished and Shirley and her husband have their son and grandchild coming to visit soon. They would be staying in a room in the basement but the water issue is making that less of a possibility. Shirley really wants the basement dry so that her family will stay.

We used the WaterGuard drain system to send water that comes in to the sump pump to be discharged. The drain is installed under the floor but above the foundation so it won't clog. The concrete is restored after the install so there is not an unsightly drain in the area. We also installed the DoubleSafe sump pump system to keep the water out of the basement. Lastly, we installed the SaniDry XP dehumidifier. This dehumidifier continuously blows dry air throughout the space to dry it out. It stands upright and can be stored in a corner or closet to not take up usable space. The dehumidifier not only helps to keep the basement dry but it also filters the air!

Taylor and her husband have had some water issues in their basement for about a year. The water was coming in through a horizontal crack in the wall that had been getting bigger over time. They had a sump pump which failed so the little amount of water that came in was collecting on the floor. We also found that the front porch was pushing down on the basement. Taylor dislikes all basements- the smell, the look, the creepy crawlies, the wet feeling, everything about them. She and her husband wanted a waterproofing and support system to make the basement better- more tolerable. 

We started with supporting the ceiling of the basement with SmartJacks. These steel support beams are attached to the floor joists and can be adjusted anytime if the home needs it. We then installed a new sump pump, the TripleSafe, to keep the water out of the basement even in case of power outage or a pump failure. To go along with the sump pump, we installed the WaterGuard drain system. This perimeter drain collects water that seeps in and send its to the sump pump to be expelled outside the home. The drain is installed under the floor to keep an ugly drain out of sight and the installation is quick. Lastly, we used the SaniDry XP to get rid of excess moisture and filter the air. The dehumidifier keeps the area dry, mold free, and takes away smells if there are any.

All of these together provide a better, usable basement that would make Taylor happier about the space!

Willing to work on a variety of jobs, we also work with a similar variety of clients. Not just independent homeowners, a Sales Manager looking to do heavy foundational repair on a residential for sale reached out and we were happy to help. The structure needed full foundational stabilization that would be permanent to ensure not only our business would stay in good faith, but so his would do the same. The structure was intact and the customer desired minimal intrusion so our foreman Patrick prescribed concrete topped Helical Piers to line the perimeter and give the home the support it needed.

By excavating the parameter of the home, we are able to use hydraulic equipment to drive drill-shaped piers into the ground. Reinforced with steel, concrete pillars are secured at the top to prove a system that permanently corrects and reinforces the structure. The faulty soil that cause the issue is replaced with competent dirt.

With the location posted on house hunting sites, our team continues to complete projects that are market-ready.

Grayson has a cement patio in his backyard that was cracked and sloping towards his home. He wanted to put a deck over the cement but needed it to be leveled so water wouldn't pool under the deck. He also wanted the cracks resealed since the sinking of the slab caused the cracks to reopen. We used PolyLevel to lift and level the concrete slab. This foam is installed under the concrete slab, waterproof, and stable so it won't wash out or react with the soils. PolyLevel cures in about 15 minutes so the process is not inconvenient to the homeowners. We used NexusPro to seal the cracks which keeps out water or debris from getting under and degrading the concrete from below. The sealant, like PolyLevel, dries in a short amount of time compared to other sealants.

Anne and Richard had water coming in around the unfinished basement. They travel quite a bit so they wanted to be sure their home would be safe while they are gone. We installed the WaterGuard Below Drain System and 2 SuperSump Plus sump pumps. The WaterGuard is a perimeter drain that is installed under the floor but above the foundation footing. It collects the water that leaks into the basement and send it to the sump pump to be expelled outside of the home. The SuperSump Plus is great if you have some water issues but not severe flooding. It was installed with the UltraSump battery backup to make sure water was staying out the space even during a power outage. 

Employees of a fellow Michigan-based construction company were in need of stabilization work that needed to be done on one of their commercial business locations. Knowing how important it is to maintain appearances and how crucial picking contractors can be, the company chose Ayers as the best option to handle their basement-specific needs.

After a quick inspection, the shifting and settling of the dirt directly beneath the home was a clear sign to our resident foreman Brian that Helical Piles are the best remedy. Driven by hydraulic tools 25ft into the ground, these screw-shaped steel beams are placed all along the parameter of the home. the home then rests on concrete-block tops on the piles allowing the weight to be distributed evenly. In order to gain access to the strategic locations excavation was required.

Once the initial installation was completed, our team made easy work out of the landscaping, giving the owners the peace of mind to continue their business.

Mr. Swartz was lucky, finding only a horizontal crack in his basement block foundation and no moisture or water damage. He was also lucky enough to have been referred to Ayers. Upon inspection, our foreman Evan made sure no mold or foundational problems were present and prescribed a wall stabilization method that would be the least intrusive and the most effective.

The wall stabilization system used is known as a Geo-Lock Anchor system. The Geo-locks are placed underground, through excavation, on the outside of the problematic basement wall. the anchor is secured into the ground and on the other side of the wall, inside of the basement, is a large plate secured to the cracked wall with drills. The anchor points are tightened, creating a constant source of pressure to the affected area.

The plate is relatively inconspicuous, easy to hide, and provides safety and peace of mind.

Todd was remodeling his basement to create more room for his family of 4 since they all have zoom meetings throughout the day. Due to the time some of the family will be spending in the basement, they wanted to install an egress window. Egress windows have a large size and a window well with steps in it to allow for a safe, easy exit in case of emergencies. They also allow for more natural light to enter the space making it appear larger, cleaner, and more welcoming.

Mr. Peterson was at his wit's end when it came to the flooding of his basement. With no obvious cracks, a solid foundation and a working sump pump, there was not much more a homeowner could do to solve the issue. Needing a trustworthy opinion, Mr. Peterson called Ayers and received an inspection from our foreman Randy.

Randy found no obvious issues like Mr. Peterson so inspected the surrounding area. The location of the home allowed high volumes of water to permeate through the ground surrounding the foundation. To stop this problem Randy and his team installed a WaterGuard system that works with the home's sump pump to divert excess water away from the home.

Not every issue can be seen with the naked eye but Ayers Basements can find the perfect long-lasting solution. 

Victoria and Josh were excited to put a large home up for sale but had to halt when they ran into crawl space issues. Seeing the water come from the crawl space they knew they should call professionals like themselves. When Evan, our foreman here at Ayers, arrived he was able to identify the source of the water inside the home. Luckily the water was a recent issue, so there was no structural or foundational damage to assess.

Evan discovered that the pumps in the home were not equipped to handle the level of water entering the home. Even though the unit is equipped with a sump pump, the positioning of the home makes a high water yield inevitable. The solution he proposed and used was to install a WaterGuard system and an IceGuard modification for the winter months. Due to the location of the water, Evan also insulated the rim joist.

The WaterGuard system is installed with the ground of the foundation, creating channels that siphon water the pumps could not handle outside of the home. IceGuard modifications go above the pumps, preventing ice from blocking the pumps and causing an overflow. As a final touch, Evan and his team insulated the wood support of the home. With water inside the home, it is important to prevent mold from forming. The best way is to seal away anything mold could use as a food source.

Arthur just closed on a house, knowing that it needed work on its support. Wanting to enter the next steps as a new homeowner, he decided to contact Ayers. Our foreman Bruce was able to identify structural and foundational problems on his inspection. Some of the problems included a wall sliding from its base and gaps between the first floor and its doors and walls.

To fix the issues, Bruce used a SmartJack system to treat the drifting of the walls and a set of Helical Piers to stabilize the foundation. The SmartJacks are steel supports that line a drifting wall and fix to the ceiling. The apparatus is adjusted to provide a constant force that corrects the wall and provides support. The Helical Piers are screw-shaped steel beams that are driven deep into firm soil on the outside of the home's perimeter and topped with concrete blocks that provide a flat surface for the house to rest on. The house was originally resting on weak soil, but the piers permanently stabilize the foundation. To finish the job, Bruce and our team lined the area with an antimicrobial lining called CleanSpace. CleanSpace prevents water and moisture from building up which causes mold and more damage to form.

Debra regularly encountered flooding in her basement but could not find the source. Her home was equipped with a strong working pump so she called Ayers to find a solution. During his inspection, our foreman Randy could not find anything wrong with the home that would invite water like cracks or obvious leaks. The terrain around the home did allow heavy amounts of water to collect near the house but the landscape was not able to be altered. Cases like these arrive more often than not so Randy decided he and his team would treat the basement with a WaterGuard system.

WaterGuard is a simple network of metal channels that direct water out of the home. The channels are placed under the foundational floor of the home (and out of sight). When too much water overwhelms the pump system, the water is directed into the channels which lead far from the base of the home, preventing a build up of water.

Virginia wants to add an extra bedroom to her home. In order to do so, she needs to make sure the semi-regular flooding is taken care of before she can stay laying wood paneling. When inspecting the area our foreman Randy realized the issue came down to an overworked pump.

Randy replaced the home's pumps with a TripleSafe pump and installed an egress window to make sure Virginia's future bedroom would be up to code.

The Triple Safe pump has 3 levels of security to ensure it never gets overworked. Equipped with a powerful motor, a back up motor, and a reserve battery, the TripleSafe pump can handle all conditions.

Brian and Genia are getting ready to retire. In order to do so with peace of mind, they had to first get their home ready. Wanting the best in quality, they contacted Ayers. When our resident foreman Bruce arrived he was able to listen to the homeowners' concerns and diagnose the issues causing the couple their problems.

The home had high amounts of moisture in the air which caused the home to look as though the water was leaking from outside. After careful inspection, Bruce deducted that the water was an internal issue and that he should prep the home should the issue arise again,

He fitted the home's crawl space with a CleanSpace lining. CleanSpace goes on every flat surface and acts as an antimicrobial barrier that repels water that would otherwise jeopardize the home's health.

Mike grew up in his house and when his father passed, it became his. He's lived there for over 60 years and his engineer father tried many DIY methods to control the flooding in the basement whenever it rained, but none lasted more than a few years. Water would seep in along the whole perimeter of the foundation. Mike finally decided to call Ayers for a long-term professional fix. Our crew came out and determined that a combination of WaterGuard and TripleSafe would be the perfect solution.

WaterGuard is a sub-floor waterproofing system that collects water that leaks through the walls and keeps water away from the foundation. It is installed on top of the foundation footing. Concrete is poured on top and regular flooring can be placed on top. TripleSafe sump pump system utilizes three pumps in order 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. An exterior discharge line was also 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 and water is discharged via the sump pump. Mike was grateful his legacy could be revitalized through his home an he no longer has to worry about cleaning up after a flood ever again. 

Dean and Dianne love their home but had a few concerns regarding their crawl space. Energy costs were extremely high, floors were cold, and it was taking on moisture. This constantly moist state of their crawl space is the reason why they are having these issues. They called Ayers for an inspection and we determined that a combination of our CleanSpace Wall System as well as the SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier would promptly fix Dean and Dianne's problems. 

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 crawlspace, in turn, will cut down on how much it costs to heat or cool the home. The SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier automatically removes up to 100 pints of water a day from the air in the home's crawlspace. This system circulates the now dry air through the space and automatically removes the leftover water so you don't have to. 

Dean and Dianne have already saved a fortune on energy bills since the installation, and they no longer have to worry about breathing in moldy wet air. They even got to stay in their home while we installed the products in one day. The couple was so grateful for Ayers' quick work to save their home. 

Pam noticed her system failure light on when her pump failed to remove water from her home. Confused, she contacted Ayers. Our resident foreman Randy was able to inspect the area and noticed the pump was not the issue. The discharge line that the home had was not installed by Ayers and was not equipped for the winter months. To solve the issue, Randy did light maintenance on the home's initial pump and installed an IceGuard modification.

IceGuard is a modification that attaches to the pipes of the home's sump pump. Without the mod ice can build up when the pump pushes water through the system, risking buildups and ruptures. IceGuard is a simple attachment that requires no energy to function year-round.

Mike and Catherine have a well in their old farm home and were tired of having to constantly empty water from it. Sometimes it would accumulate up to 20 gallons of ground water, rising so high that the basement flooded. The couple called Ayers for a permanent solution. After we emptied the excess water out, our crew determined that CleanSpace Wall System and an Exterior Discharge Line is a drain installed leading to the low point of the property, sending water away from the home. 

Mike and Catherine were overjoyed not to have to work so hard to remove excess water and excited that they finally had a permanent water control solution. 

Shyam was having an inspection performed on their home for nonrelated reasons when cracks in the home were discovered. Needing the problem solved in a timely manner, they contacted Ayers for help.

Our resident foreman Blade was able to inspect the area himself and did not find any obvious sources of the damage. Blade deducted that the home must have been damaged during the winter months. To fix this issue Blade installed an IceGuard modification to the home's drainage system.

Mitch was concerned when he noticed water in his home during the winter months. By the time he was able to do something about the problem the water disappeared. Not wanting to take risks, he contacted Ayers to see if someone could inspect the area.

Our foreman Randy was able to listen to Mitch's concerns and draft a plan to give him peace of mind. Randy noticed that the irregular flooding was a sign that the home was not equipped to handle water during different temperatures. Randy decided to install an IceGuard modification to give the drainage system extra support.

Sherry's home was built in the 1940s and had water coming in her basement from underneath the stairs for years. Whenever it rained, the water that came in was directed to the floor drain so it never flooded, but the moisture can create major problems. She's leaving the home to her grandson so she wants to get everything in working order. Sherry called Ayers for an inspection and our crew determined her home would need WaterGuard and a TripleSafe sump pump. 

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 in top and regular flooring can be placed on top. The TripleSafe sump pump system utilizes three pumps in order 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. 

The job went off without a hitch, and Sherry was even home during the entire installation. She was able to see what both systems looked liked before the concrete was poured. She was happy with the work completed and excited that the home is now in perfect shape for her grandson! 

Gary noticed a large unsightly crack in his home's crawl space walls and did not want to take risks so he contacted Ayers. After our resident foreman Blade could inspect the area he realized the issue was from the foundation settling.

To remedy the issue Blade decided to have his team install Helical Piers on the home.

Helical Piers are a tool trusted by Ayers due to their non-intrusive nature compared to other foundational repair systems. The piers are long screw-shaped drives that are driven deep under the home at an angle. The drives keep going till they pass the weak soil and find new firm ground. The tops of the piers are capped with load-bearing caps that provide a flat surface for the home to rest upon.

We met Peter at one of the home shows we attended, and he loved the work we displayed. Water was coming into his basement mainly from the corners where the floor meets the wall. The flooding has reached as high as 6 inches and has ruined many of his belongings. Peter wanted to reclaim his basement and make the space useable again. He called Ayers out for an inspection and we determined that Peter’s home would need a full foundation stabilization and waterproofing solution. We would install CarbonArmor to strengthen the areas of the foundation that were allowing water in, as well as WaterGuard, a TripleSafe sump pump, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to combat the water intrusion. 

CarbonArmor is a flexible, fabric like epoxy that is 10x stronger than steel. The epoxy adheres to your basement walls and penetrates into the surface to reinforce and stabilize. WaterGuard  a flexible, fabric like epoxy that is 10x stronger than steel. The epoxy adheres to your basement walls and penetrates into the surface to reinforce and stabilize. The TripleSafe sump pump system utilizes three pumps in order 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. Finally, the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier automatically removes up to 100 pints of water a day from the air in the home’s basement. This system circulates the now dry air through the basement and automatically removes the leftover water so you don’t have to.

Peter was so grateful to have run into our booth at his local home and garden show. He was more than satisfied with the work we did to stabilize his foundation and waterproof his basement. Peter can now reclaim his basement, turning it into the living space of his dreams. 

Zul noticed that water was collecting in the corner of their basement. Unsure of where the water came from, she contacted Ayers to help find a solution. Our resident foreman Randy was happy to inspect the area and listen to Zul's concerns.

Randy realized the home's drainage system was not up to handle the amount of water that naturally surrounds the home. Randy decided to install a TripleSafe sump pump to manage the water, a WaterGuard system to control any water that the pump cannot handle, and a CleanSpace lining to protect the home from further water damage.

Scott called Ayers when he realized his basement in his Mason, MI home had a water leak due to his clogged drainage system. With the help of Ayers System Design Specialists, it was concluded that the installation of our WaterGuard and IceGuard would be the perfect solution to his issues.

The WaterGuard was installed under the basement floor to ensure it directs water the pump can't handle away from the home. It will collect any water that leaks through the walls and will keep dirt away from the foundation. This waterproofing system is installed along the basement perimeter and concrete is poured over top. Regular flooring of their choice would then be installed over this concrete layer. The IceGuard was also a good call to install as it will prevent the buildup of ice on the home pipes.

Scott was relieved to have this waterproofing system installed so he doesn't have to worry anymore about water leaking into his basement that could potentially damage their precious belongings!

Andy and his wife bought their Holt, MI home in 2007 and plan on staying in it forever. They have a new driver in the home and  there's about a three to four inch drop leading into the driveway, making it unsafe. The couple called Ayers for an inspection and our crew determined they would need PolyLevel and NexusPro to correct the driveway. 

The PolyLevel system is used to repair sinking concrete by drilling minuscule holes into the slab and filling them with foam. The foam raises the slab and fortifies it to make it last even longer. NexusPro is a sealant that fills the cracks in the concrete. It is extremely withstanding to harsh weather so it will remain intact for years.  

Andy and his wife loved the work Ayers did to their driveway. Not only does it look much better, it is completely safe for their new driver!

Scott gave us a call when he noticed his front porch settled about 4 inches, offsetting the leveling of the concrete. Our crew at Ayers decided our PolyLeveling System would be the best course of action to level out his concrete.

The PolyLevel System is used to even concrete levels and consists of a spray foam polymer that expands under this cracked concrete. The foam raises the slab and fortifies it to ensure it lasts longer. It's crucial to call right away when you notice this problem since PolyLevel can only be sprayed in temperatures above 40 degrees. Cold weather will only make these damages worse.

Scott was relieved to have his front porch at an even level to ensure the safety of his family.

Jennifer decided to call the professionals at Ayers to install a trustworthy waterproofing system to protect her home's basement. After an inspection, our crew went ahead and decided the WaterGuard System and the WaterGuard Port would do the trick.

The WaterGuard System is a drainage system that is installed in the sub-floor of your basement in order to collect water and keep dirt away from your foundation. Concrete is then poured over top and you can have regular flooring installed over this to complete the new look you're going for. Next, the WaterGuard Port was installed to allow for this water caught to be expelled through the port in the yard. The line is installed in the yard and then buried to disguise it. 

Jennifer is satisfied with her new waterproofing system she has in place. She is now worry-free when it comes to water leaks!

Jim was looking to complete the finished basement look he desired by adding an Egress Window. He called up Ayers professionals to go forward with the installation

Egress Windows are larger which open up your basement space more, making it more inviting. It is a great addition to your basement as it allows for a safe exit in the case of an emergency and makes your basement space appear as a regular living space. 

Jim is happy with his new window as it looks cleaner and lets in much needed natural light to his basement!

Anthony's Michigan basement inside his home became a nightmare. After first buying his house, Anthony began seeing multiple problems. From waterproofing issues to structural issues. Anthony decided to call Ayers to explore solutions for his home.

The team at Ayers suggested that Anthony gets a complete waterproofing job done with the addition of SmartJacks. The waterproofing job would consist of WaterGuard and a Triple Safe. WaterGuard is an interior french drain system that sits just below the floor slab and above the house's footing. The drain placement is not in the mud zone meaning the drain won't clog. The drain is designed to catch water seeping from the walls and funnel it to a sump pump. 

While Anthony had a sump pump present, it wasn't getting the job done. Thus, Ayers suggested and installed the TripleSafe sump pump. The TripleSafe is a three-pump system housed in the same sump lining. The bottom pump in the lining usually runs all the time. If there is a problem with the first pump, the second one will kick on and begin pumping water through a secondary discharge line. In the case of a total failure, the third pump, connected to an external battery, will turn on and save the day. The TripleSafe is a powerhouse unit that eliminates the worry of flooding issues. 

From a foundational side, Anthony's floor was sagging, and the floor joists needed to be supported. Thus, Anthony opted for SmarkJacks. The SmartJack system utilizes steel columns, threaded rods, and a concrete base. The jack is attached to the ground and support beam. Once the jacks are set up and tight, the SmartJacks can lift and level the sagging floor to bring it level and stabilize the house.

Combining these products and services will be perfect for Anthony as it will eliminate water issues in the basement and stabilize and level his home!

Jolene and her husband recently moved into their 1919 Lansing, MI home. They called Ayers for an inspection because the stairs in their home are sloping and the home shakes whenever someone walks. Our crew determined that the couple would need SmartJacks and Helical Piers to permanently stabilize the foundation. 

SmartJacks are steel supports that balance the foundation of the crawlspace, lifting it to its original position. They can be adjusted so the home will never shift out of place and are anchored into the ground with poured concrete. Helical Piers are made of steel helix-shaped blades that are screwed into the soil and the piers that can be extended to the appropriate depth. They're attached to the foundation’s footing, so the weight is evenly distributed and the home is permanently stabilized.

Jolene and her husband were so grateful to have seen Ayers’ commercial on TV! They were thrilled with the work completed by our crews and are so excited to sleep soundly knowing they are safe in their new home.

Adam noticed cracks in his block foundation and found water seeping through. Wanting a permanent fix, he contacted Ayers. Our resident foreman Blade was happy to inspect the area and draft a treatment plan.

Blade decided to install a PowerBrace set to correct the walls, a new TripleSafe sump pump to help manage water, and a WaterGuard drainage system to manage the flow.

Jack’s home was built in 1917, and the walls in his basement were crumbling caused by extreme water damage. He called Ayers for an inspection and our crew determined his home would need WaterGuard and a TripleSafe sump pump with exterior discharge line. 

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. 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.

Jack was thrilled with the work done by Ayers. He was ecstatic that he never has to worry about flooding in the basement or damaged walls ever again!

Bruce had water leaking into his crawl space after heavy rains so he decided to take action and call Ayers. After our crew inspected the crawl space they determined CleanSpace, our TripleSafe Sump Pump, and our SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier would be the perfect solution to his issues.

CleanSpace is perfect for crawl spaces as it has a thick, durable, plastic liner that will be placed along the crawl space. The liner protects against excess moisture that leads to mold or bacteria with its vapor barrier property. Next, the TripleSafe has three sump pumps that fit in one liner that remove water. The first pump does the most work and the second is there in the event the first fails or needs more help. The last sump pump is a battery-operated backup that will turn on if the others fail to run in emergency power outages. Then we have the SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier which is a good addition in protecting against these water issues. This will remove water from the air and circulate the now dry air throughout the crawl space.

Bruce is thrilled with these waterproofing systems in place, ensuring his crawl space remains dry for decades!

Rob Gave Ayers a call because he was interested in getting Egress Windows installed for his basement. Ayers gladly accepted and went forward with the installation.

Egress Windows are perfect for basements as they open up the space more because they allow more natural light to shine through. They are larger and include a safe exit option in the case of an emergency. These windows will help give your basement a more finished look as well.

Rob is happy with his new Egress Windows that let in more light and fresh air!

James had just bought his new home in Okemos, MI and was looking to have an Egress Window installed in his basement to replace the small window there at the time. He gave Ayers a call and we gladly accepted and went forward with the installation.

Egress Windows are a great option for basement windows because they are larger which means they will allow more natural light in. With this window, the space will open up more, seeming larger and more inviting. This is a nice addition if you want to give your basement a more finished look. These windows even provide a safe exit option in the case of an emergency. 

James was thrilled with the finished look his Egress Windows gave his basement in his new home!

Mike recently purchased a home and wanted to have the basement inspected, knowing there were already issues with the sump pump. He contacted Ayers and allowed our resident foreman Bruce inspect the area. Bruce found that the home's drainage system was in need of improvements that Mike agreed upon.

Bruce replaced the sump pump with an Ayers trusted model, a new drainage system to help the pump, and a modification to help the water flow during the winter. Finally, he added an egress window to allow more light into the home. sacrificing heat

James just bought his new house and was looking to fix up the basement a bit by having bigger windows installed. He called Ayers and our crew decided our Egress Windows would be perfect for his basement!

Egress Windows are larger which allows more natural light into your basement. With these installed, more fresh air will circulate and the space will feel more open and inviting. This is a great idea for your basement if you desire the finished look. This window even provides a safe way to exit in the event of an emergency. 

James was happy with the finished look the Egress Windows gave his basement!

Thom was having issues with water leaks after heavy rainfalls so he decided to give our professionals a call. Our Ayers System Design Specialist came out for an inspection and determined that our WaterGuard System and WaterGuard Port would be a good solution. 

WaterGuard is a sub-floor drainage system that runs along the perimeter of your basement. This system will keep water and dirt away from your foundation. The water leaking in would be carried to the drainage pipes rather than your floor and will then be directed to your sump pump system. The WaterGuard Port is there for inspections so our crew can easily access the system if necessary in the future.

Thom is relieved to have these water leaks taken care of with our WaterGuard System!

Matthew called up Ayers looking to have his crawl space renovated. He needed a professional to assess the area and give their professional suggestions. Our Ayers System Design Specialist decided that installing CleanSpace would be the perfect fit.

CleanSpace utilizes a thick, durable, long-lasting plastic liner that will run along the crawl space. The liner has a vapor barrier that protects against harmful excess moisture that can lead to mold or bacteria development. This trusty system not only tidies up your crawl space and keeps it clean, but it also will last for decades.

Matthew is happy with the results of his crawl space renovation!

Darrel wanted to start some renovations that would give his partially done basement a more finished look. He gave Ayers a call as he was looking into larger basement windows. Our Ayers System Design Specialist decided that installing our Egress Windows would be perfect. 

Egress Windows are larger which opens up your basement space as it lets in more natural light and fresh air. This will make your basement more inviting for guests. These windows even consist of a window well with a step in it to ensure you have a safe exit option in the event of an emergency.

Darrell was happy to have these larger Egress Windows installed that open up his basement space!

Brandon realized that water was leaking into his basement in two locations. One was behind the electrical box, which raised significant concerns. Quickly springing into action, Brandon called Ayers to get an inspection. Once a Specialist with Ayers inspected the home, the team at Ayers suggested installing WaterGuard, CleanSpace, and a SuperSump Plus.

While Brandon had a sump pump in his home before, the inspection determined that the water was not draining correctly. Thus, WaterGuard was installed, a french drain system that sits between the home's footing and the basement floor. This drain system catches water from the basement walls and funnels it toward a sump pump. As the previous sump pump was not in a good location, the SuperSump pump was installed. The SuperSump houses a powerful pump that can efficiently pump thousands of gallons of water out of the home.

For extra waterproofing measures, Brandon decided to install CleanSpace. This heavy, durable plastic liner lines the walls and creates a moisture barrier, thus, stopping any water from leaking through the walls. In return, the water funnels behind the liner and towards the WaterGuard drain on the floor. These products were perfect for Brandon's basement, and he will no longer need to worry about water issues!

Amy's home would flood during heavy rains, and it appeared that with each flood, it got worse. While she had a sump pump present, she wasn't sure it was working, and she grew tired of countless problems. Amy decided to call Ayers to figure out what would be best for her home. After a thorough inspection of her home, the team at Ayers concluded she needed TripleSafe ad WaterGuard. 

WaterGuard is installed along the walls inside of the basement and will sit between the basement floor and the home's footing. Any water leaking into the basement will be caught by the drain system and funneled directly to TripleSafe. Since Amy's prior sump pump was not working, the Ayers team installed TripleSafe, which provides three layers of protection! The bottom pump will efficiently run all the time with no worries. If the bottom pump has a problem or is overloaded, the secondary pump will kick on and begin pumping water out of the home. In the case of a power outage, the secondary pump is connected to an external battery and will still run! After installing WaterGuard and TripleSafe, Amy no longer needed to worry about her basement flooding!

Emily was looking into getting a replacement for her tiny basement window. She found out Ayers sells larger waterproof windows and decided to give us a call. We let her know our Egress Window would be the perfect replacement window for her basement.

We installed an Egress Window for her as these are much larger which allow for more natural light and fresh air to fill the basement. This will open up her space more, making it much more inviting for when she has guests over. This window is a great option for when you want to finish your basement. Egress Windows are waterproof and allow for a safe exit option in the case of emergencies. 

Emily was thrilled with the new, finished look this Egress Window gave her basement!

Melissa and Robert's Okemos, MI home has a cinderblock foundation with a finished basement. The couple were looking to invest in an egress window to make the basement safer for their new child. They immediately called Ayers Basement Systems for the job. 

Egress windows from Ayers bring together safety and beauty in one. Building codes require that basement living spaces must have a large enough window to safely evacuate in case of emergency. Our windows have built-in steps and durable covers that hold up to 500 pounds. Because adding an egress window requires cutting a hole in the foundation, a window installation company is not the safest option. Ayers knows foundations and knows how to install an egress window properly.  

Melissa and Robert were thrilled with the installation! They feel like their child now has the perfect space to grow, learn, and play safely. 

Sarah and Ian were looking to purchase a replacement window for the small basement window they had. After scanning around for options they decided to give Ayers a call. After our professionals took a look at their current situation it was decided they would love our Egress Windows. 

The benefit of Egress Windows being they are larger which will open up your space giving it a more finished, attractive look. If you're looking for a window that allows for a safe exit in an emergency situation, this window is perfect for this scenario as well. With these windows being larger this will also allow for more natural light to come in as well as fresh air to fill the space. 

Sarah and Ian were very happy with the new appealing look this Egress Window brought to their basement space!

Gina was hoping to seal up her crawl space and get rid of the musty smell coming from there that was making her sick. On her search for a company that would resolve these issues she found Ayers and gave us a call. We sent a crew for an inspection and our System Design Specialists let her know CleanSpace and SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier would be the best option. 

First, with CleanSpace, this thick and durable plastic liner is made to stop water vapor from entering through the soil and the crawl space. This liner is much more efficient than regular tarps you can buy from the store as this specially designed liner is made from inorganic material that prevents that nasty mold or bacteria growth. This will protect Gina and her family from illnesses related to mold. The next measure of protection we added was our SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier which is the world's most efficient, high-performance dehumidifier and filtration system. This will eliminate damp, musty odors Gina was dealing with by drying and filtering the air. It will even cost less to run than other dehumidifiers.

Gina was over the moon to get these musty odors taken care of and have her crawl space sealed up with a trustworthy system!

Tracy was concerned over her family's safety due to the cracks in her concrete garage floor. She saw that Ayers had solutions for concrete cracks so she decided to give us a call. We sent out a crew to inspect these cracks and our System Design Specialists let her know that our PolyLevel and NexusPro Crack Repair solution would be perfect. 

We use PolyLevel to lift and level these spots with cracks in the concrete. This is an injectable, lightweight foam that won't cause added pressure on already unstable soil. This solution is stable and waterproof so it won't react with the soil or wash away. Then to fix the cracks in the concrete we use NexusPro Crack Repair which is a silicone sealant that is engineered to withstand harsh weather so it won't dry out or crack. It will even keep water or debris from getting under the concrete which could degrade it from below. This process is much more convenient and quick for homeowners than other solutions. 

With these concrete repair solutions in place, Tracy doesn't have to worry now about these cracks spreading into something worse!

Milton was in need of a serious waterproofing job to keep his home dry and clean! Water was leaking in due to the crack in the wall. He was on the search for possible solutions and came across Ayers. He noticed we had several solutions for the problems he was having so he gave us a call. We had a crew come out to his home for a free inspection and it was decided by our System Design Specialists that he could use our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, IceGuard, LawnScape Outlet, and FlexiSpan. 

Our first waterproofing product for the job was TripleSafe which is a three pump system that fits in one durable liner that works to keep water out of basements. The first pump will do most of this work while the second will run if backup is needed, and the final pump is battery-operated, meant for power outages. We then installed IceGuard and our LawnScape Outlet. IceGuard is a good addition to have for your exterior drainage lines as it will keep them from clogging or freezing in cold weather since the slotted openings will eject water. Next, with LawnScape this is an underground extension to the drainage line that enables downspout water to escape. To address the wall crack we installed FlexiSpan as well which is a crack repair system that consists of a two-layer sealant. This sealant both plugs the crack and creates a drainage route for any water leaks. Underneath the white panel, polyurethane was used to seal the seam and any water that pushes its way through this sealant will flow down the wall into a drainage well at the foot of the wall.

Milton was grateful to get this crack sealed up and protected with a full waterproofing system in action that keeps his home safe!

Brad began to realize problems with the cement in the front of his house and around the porch. Brad decided to contact Ayers to determine the issues and find a solution. An Ayers System Design Specialist inspection concluded that the cement in the front of the house had dropped toward the foundation. Thus, the team at Ayers suggested PolyLevel as it would be the best application for Brad's situation.

PolyLevel utilizes a foam injected through tiny holes under the cement to raise the level. The foam used in PolyLevel is lightweight but very durable, allowing it to support immense weights. In addition, the foam is waterproofing, eliminating any worries of water eroding it. PolyLevel was an excellent option for Brad as his cement was leveled and cleaned up, leaving it looking way better than before!

Mike was trying to replace his previous sump pump system that was failing at its job and simply not doing the trick anymore. He looked into Ayers and decided to hand over these issues to our professionals so he wouldn't have to stress over it anymore. After an inspection was conducted, our System Design Specialists determined that our TripleSafe Sump Pump System along with IceGuard and our LawnScape Outlet would be the perfect waterproofing solutions for his home.

The TripleSafe offers triple protection with its three pumps that fit in one trusty liner that help keep water out of the basement. The first pump will get most of the water out, the second is there for the rare case that the first fails or needs backup, and the last pump is there for Mike in case his power goes out since it is battery-operated. We decided he could use IceGuard as well to protect his exterior discharge lines from harsh weather. The slotted openings will eject water, preventing the lines from freezing or clogging. Last of all we installed our LawnScape Outlet to the end of this discharge line which will not only enable downspout water to escape but it will also prevent tripping hazards in your yard since it is buried into the ground. 

Mike was ecstatic to have not only his sump pump replaced with a top notch system but also have exterior waterproofing products installed that further protect his home!

Steve was having issues with his foundation and began to see cracks forming. Steve contacted Ayers and set up a home inspection to look over his home. The team at Ayers concluded his foundation was settling. The team at Ayers suggested installing CarbonArmor, as it would be perfect for the job!

CarbonArmor utilizes carbon fiber straps that are stuck to the foundation wall with adhesive and then attached to the floor joist at the top of the wall. The glue, in the process, penetrates the cement, causing the bond to be embedded in the cement! Steve was ecstatic that his foundation was now permanently stabilized, and he no longer needed to worry about it!

MaryLou and Roland called Ayers Basement Systems because their 1968 Okemos, MI basement had some cracking between the blocks of the foundation. The couple recently retired and want to spend their time traveling but need to make sure the home is safe and secure while they're gone. They don't want to worry about coming home to a partially collapsed home. Our crew came out to do an inspection and determined that MaryLou and Roland would need us to install Carbon Armor. 

Carbon Armor is a flexible, fabric like epoxy that is 10x stronger than steel. The epoxy adheres to your basement walls and penetrates into the surface to reinforce and stabilize the home. MaryLou and Roland were thrilled with the work done by the Ayers crew! They cannot wait to enjoy retired life and travel in peace without worrying if their home would be there when they return. 

Glenn's old sump pump was not doing the trick anymore, it was time for a replacement. She looked into options for basement waterproofing solutions and decided on Ayers. She gave us a call and we had a crew come to her home to inspect her current system. From there it was decided she needed TripleSafe Sump Pump System, IceGuard, and our LawnScape Outlet.

First with TripleSafe, this is a three pump system that fits in one sturdy liner and works to keep water out of your basement. The first pump will get most of the water out but the second pump will run if assistance is needed. Then the last pump is there in case the power fails since it is battery-operated. Next we added IceGuard to her exterior drainage lines to protect them from cold or harsh weather. Oftentimes these lines can freeze or clog in bad weather so the slotted openings will eject water, preventing this from happening. Last of all we installed our LawnScape Outlet for this exterior line as well. This is an underground extension that enables downspout water to escape and is better hidden in the ground which reduces tripping hazards in your yard.

Glenn was happy with these new waterproofing installations that keep her home well protected and safe!

Greg's home is over 100 years old and so new foundation support was definitely needed, so he called Ayers. We sent a crew to inspect his home so we could come up with an efficient solution. After this was conducted our System Design Specialists were able to recommend SmartJacks.

SmartJacks are the right answer for Greg's problems as they are supplemental support systems that effectively support sagging beams and floor joists. This consists of steel columns, threaded rods, and a solid base for support help. These steel columns then get adjusted in order to raise the floors to a level position.

Greg was grateful to have his old home supported properly so he no longer has to worry about his family’s safety!

Alicia noticed her block foundation walls were cracking and moving inward so she knew it was time for professional help. She decided on calling Ayers and we had our customer care team set up a time for a crew to come out to check out these issues. After the free inspection our System Design Specialists concluded she needed PowerBrace.

PowerBrace is designed to permanently stabilize the foundation walls. The braces can be tightened over time as well to straighten the wall, shifting it back to its original position. These braces are zinc coated to prevent any rusting and this is a quick solution, usually taking less than a day to install. Outside pressures are the typical culprit for bowing walls so this will secure the walls in place so she no longer has to worry. 

Alicia was happy she made the call to get this serious issue addressed and corrected once and for all!

Sue and Fred were having work done by Ayers to waterproof their home. After living in their home for 47 years, water appeared to start seeping into the basement. The couple had tried to work on their own, but nothing seemed to work, so they called Ayers. When the team at Ayers were installing waterproofing products, new discharge lines had to be installed. The team suggested installing IceGuard as they live in a cold state! IceGuard allows water to drain even if the pipes freeze; the fitting allows water out through the holes if a pipe freezes. IceGuard provides great winter precautions for those living in the cold! 

Jeff had some water intrusion issues in his basement where water was seeping in through his walls. He made the call to Ayers so our professionals could come out to his home and give our recommendations for solutions. From this our System Design Specialists decided our WaterGuard System and TripleSafe Sump Pump System would be the best fix. 

WaterGuard is a below-floor drainage system that works by collecting water or dirt that seeps in, especially through the walls. It is installed along the perimeter of the basement and is concealed with concrete. If he is looking to finish his basement in the future, regular flooring can be installed over this system as well. TripleSafe is a three pump system that fits in one durable liner. The first pump will get most of the water out of his basement, the second will run if backup is needed, and the last pump is battery-operated for power outages.

Jeff was thrilled to get this irritating water issue tackled permanently!

Krystal was looking into getting waterproofing solutions to take care of the irritating puddles that would form in her basement after heavy rain or snow. We had a crew come out to her home to check out this problem area. From this free inspection our System Design Specialists were able to recommend installing our WaterGuard System, TripleSafe Sump Pump System, and our SaniDry XP Basement Dehumidifier.

WaterGuard is a sub-floor drainage system that is placed along the perimeter of the basement to catch wall leaks and direct the water to the sump system. This will be concealed with concrete. The sump system we installed for her is TripleSafe which is a three pump system that fits in one durable liner, working to keep water out and off her belongings. The first pump gets most of the job done, the second pump is there for assistance when needed, and the last pump is battery-operated so it will turn on if the power fails. Lastly, we took extra steps to keep her basement dry with the SaniDry XP Dehumidifier which creates dry, clean air and reduces the risk of mold growth.

Krystal was glad she finally got these puddles in her home taken care of permanently!

After seeing cracks had formed in his foundation, Paul grew worried and contacted Ayers for a professional opinion. The team at Ayers determined from an inspection that Paul's foundation was settling, causing the walls to crack and bow. The group suggested installing CarbonArmor to stop the foundation from bowing, thus, permanently stabilizing it! CarbonArmor utilizes carbon fiber strips that connect to the wall with a powerful adhesive. CarbonArmor was a perfect solution for Paul, as his foundation was permanently supported!

Angela was hoping to get a repair solution for her cracked basement wall as it was leaking water. She didn't want a full wall remodel so she was hoping to get something that would just put an end to these small yet pesky leaks. After deciding to call Ayers we sent a crew to take a look and decipher the best solution. Our team then recommended FlexiSpan to her. This is a solution that will not only fill the cracks in the wall with a watertight, flexible sealant but it will also add a drainage layer for the water to be directed. Below the FlexiSpan this drainage system is placed in the sub-floor so if water does permeate, then it will be directed here. This way her basement will stay dry and Angela won't have to stress over her belongings getting soaked!

Phillip was looking into repair options for his concrete driveway that was starting to separate and crack, so he decided to call up Ayers for professional assistance. After we checked out the driveway our System Design Specialists were able to conclude that he needed PolyLevel and NexusPro Crack Repair. We start by making small injections in the concrete slabs with our lightweight, foam, polymer injections that expand to raise the slabs to a level position. This is a quick solution that will make his driveway smooth and level once again. It is much more convenient as well since he will be able to drive on it after 15 minutes. Next we use NexusPro Crack Repair as a silicone sealant to actually fill the cracks in the driveway. This is made tough and flexible in order to withstand any harsh weather that comes his way. Phillip was over the moon to get this problem area smoothed out in record time for his convenience!

Kashara didn't want a full wall remodel but was in serious need of a repair option for the water intrusion coming through her basement wall. She saw that Ayers had waterproofing solutions that would cover this so she gave us a call. After sending a crew to her home for a free inspection it was settled that FlexiSpan would do the trick. FlexiSpan will treat the small crack causing these leaks as we first fill the cracks with a flexible sealant. Then we add another drainage layer so that if water permeated this area it would be directed down the original wall, out of sight. This water will then be directed to the drain we install below the floor and concealed with concrete. This faster solution will keep Kashara's basement dry all while making it look more attractive!

Vickie was hoping to get some waterproofing installations for her home to ensure her home stays safe and dry. She knew Ayers had the proper remedies so she gave us a call. We told her we would send one of our crews to her home to conduct a free inspection. After this was complete our System Design Specialists were able to make their recommendations to have us install our WaterGuard System and TripleSafe Sump Pump System. Now that she has WaterGuard, this sub-floor drainage system will collect any water that leaks through her walls in the basement. It is placed on top of the footing of the foundation so it won't clog and lays along the basement's perimeter. We hooked this system to our TripleSafe Sump Pump System so the water would be directed there. This consists of three pumps that work to keep water off the floor. The first pump does the main job but the second is there if backup is needed. The final pump is battery-operated, meaning it will turn on if the power goes out. Vickie was glad she got waterproofing solutions so she will no longer have to stress about leaks!

Robert noticed a crack within his basement wall followed by puddling on the floor below it. So he decided to call our professionals at Ayers to get a professional fix to address this small crack. After our crew took a look at the wall it was determined he needed FlexiSpan. This solution is made exactly for smaller wall cracks and will treat it without the hassle of a full wall remodel. First our crew will fill the actual crack with a flexible sealant and then they will add a drainage layer so if water did permeate, it would be directed down the original wall out of sight. The water would instead end up in the drainage system which we install below the floor underneath the freshly sealed wall. This will now keep Robert's basement from puddling!

Stan was in need of a concrete repair job for his cracking driveway. He saw that Ayers offered exactly what he was looking for so he gave us a call. After our crew headed out to his home for a free inspection, it was concluded that PolyLevel and NexusPro Crack Repair would repair his driveway perfectly. PolyLevel is a lightweight foam injection that will raise and level the concrete slabs. With this solution being lightweight, this will prevent the addition of pressure on the already unstable soil. This is also a fix that is waterproof and stable, preventing any reaction with the soil. It will not just wash away in heavy rains either.  Next we use our NexusPro Crack Repair to actually seal the cracks in the concrete. This consists of a silicone sealant that is made to withstand harsh weather so it won't crack or dry out. This repair job will prevent water or debris from permeating the slab which would cause it to degrade from below. The other great advantage to choosing this concrete repair option is that it will smooth his driveway in a fraction of the time compared to a full driveway remodel. He will be able to drive on it again in 15 minutes, making this a more convenient option for Stan!

Brennan needed to have the small cracks in his basement wall addressed quickly without a full wall remodel before it spread. He decided to call Ayers to see if we had the solutions he was looking for. We had a crew inspect the area to figure out a plan for Brennan. From this inspection it was determined that FlexiSpan would do the trick. We first fill the small cracks with a flexible sealant and then we add a drainage layer. This is added so that in the event water does leak through it will flow down the original wall and down into the drain we install in the sub-floor below. This is a great option if you are looking for a less expensive and quicker fix than a full wall remodel. Brennan knew he made the right call now that his basement walls are no longer a leak hazard!

Jeffrey wanted to replace his small basement window with an Egress Window. He discovered that Ayers sells these windows so he gave us a call. With Egress Windows he not only will have a safe exit option in the event an emergency occurs and he needs to make a quick escape, but these windows are also waterproof. An exterior well is added around the window which will protect it during harsh weather or from outside critters. These windows are larger than the typical tiny basement window which opens up the space more and allows natural light to shine through better. Most basements are dark and uninviting so this will transform the space. With the new Egress Window, Jeffrey's basement has never been safer and brighter!

Edward had previously worked with Ayers to waterproof his home after a flood. While his house had no water issues, a problem arose from the first flood. The basement had grown musky, and an inspection by the team at Ayers concluded mold was forming in various spots. Mold is nasty for several reasons, mainly because it contaminates the air in the entire house! Edward opted to use Mold-X after speaking with the team at Ayers. Mold-X is designed to kill, clean, and inhibit mold growth, leaving Edward's home free of mold!

CleanSpace and Drainage matting will transform your crawlspace and provide every benefit you can think of.

She knew she needed to find the culprit and get it fixed, so she researched and called Ayers for help. We sent a team of specialists to her home to inspect the situation and recommend a solution. They found a damp crawl space beneath her home and suggested installing the CleanSpace vapor barrier. CleanSpace is lined with antimicrobial material to prevent mold growth and is applied entirely to the crawl space floors and walls to eliminate moisture. Margaret feels much better about hosting now that her home smells fresh!

Amy noticed the cracks in her driveway and sidewalk were growing and deepening. She didn't want anyone to get hurt by the obstacle, so she researched her options and called Ayers to learn about our concrete solutions. Our team of experts visited her home to assess the issue and recommended a PolyLevel injection. PolyLevel is an advanced system of mud-jacking where polymer foam is injected into voids beneath the slabs and then expands to raise the concrete. After a brief drying period, the concrete will be stable enough to walk and drive on. Amy feels much safer in her driveway!

Linda's floor was freezing since the weather changed, and she couldn't stand dealing with cold feet. She needed the issue resolved, so she researched her options and called Ayers for help. Our professionals visited her home to evaluate and realized the vents in her crawl space allowed cold air underneath her house. They installed the CleanSpace vapor barrier, a highly durable and antimicrobial-lined material. CleanSpace deters moisture and cold air entry and consequently prevents cold feet. Linda loves her warm floor!

Tammie was concerned the water leaking into her basement would lead to more serious issues, so she researched her options and called Ayers for help.

Most drainage pipes sit alongside the home's footing, while WaterGuard is placed on top to reduce mud and rock entry. Sheri is happy to have a dry basement!

Steve was concerned the cracks in his basement walls would continue to grow if left untreated. He knew he needed help, so he called Ayers, and we sent a team of specialists to his home. The crew evaluated the situation and suggested the installation of GeoLock wall anchors. These anchors are made of galvanized steel, secured to the basement wall, and connected to ground anchors by steel rods. The ground anchors are installed in solid, undisturbed soil a few feet from the home to solidify the connection. Steve is happy to have a sturdy basement wall!

In East Lansing, homeowners had significant flooding issues, halting their plans to renovate their unfinished basement. Janan, envisioning a new home office and wet bar in the basement, found the project would have to wait because rainwater was inundating the space. Seeking a solution, she contacted Ayers to address any underlying foundation issues causing the flooding and to facilitate the installation of a new egress window for her basement remodel.

Ayers promptly assessed the situation, identifying poor drainage surrounding the home's perimeter and a crack in the existing egress window as the culprits. The proposed remedy involved installing a WaterGuard system along the house's perimeter and enhancing the home's Well Duct to redirect water away from the property. Additionally, the team installed a new egress window and stone escape well from our Rockwell line.

The homeowners can now enjoy a dry basement, primed for renovation, and enhanced livability. We look forward to the possibility of assisting them with their basement finishing project in the future. As Ayers does refinishing work as well.

Kenan and Zerrin moved into their new home in East Lansing a month ago to be closer to their son, who attends Michigan State University. The house already had a partially installed waterproofing system and some foundation work completed by local businesses. Initially, Kenan and Zerrin believed that all necessary repairs had been completed before they purchased the home, allowing them to begin a basement renovation. 

However, as they started their project, they discovered that the waterproofing system began to leak and that there were untreated areas. This forced them to pause their plans, which in turn caused delays for the flooring company scheduled to install new flooring. Kenan and Zerrin dream of having a clean, tidy, and dry basement where they can store their belongings and officially unpack as they settle into their new home. Unfortunately, these issues have left them feeling uneasy, especially after finding out that the previous owner did not disclose some of the problems that the house was still experiencing. 

Rick Pike, the design specialist assigned to their case, communicated effectively with Kenan and Zerrin throughout the three-month process. He helped them understand the best solutions for their future. After several discussions and with Rick demonstrating persistence and patience—including additional visits to their home—Kenan and Zerrin decided to move forward with Ayers to install a complete perimeter waterproofing system to address their water issues permanently. 

Nick Mireles and his crew were scheduled the week before Christmas to install the waterproofing system, providing Kenan and Zerrin the gift of peace of mind in their new home this holiday season. They are excited to resume their basement finishing project in the new year, finally transforming their house into a home.

Sani and her husband are first-time homebuyers. They purchased their Lansing, MI home last May and noticed strange bumps on their basement walls, though there were no visible water leaks. Concerned about potential mold—especially since their partially finished basement doubled as a play area for their daughter and housed their laundry—they worried about the health risks of mold exposure.

Initially, they focused on addressing other issues flagged by the home inspector, but as their daughter spent more time in the basement, their concerns grew. MoldX and a SaniDry dehumidifier system were used to protect their home and family. Now, with moisture under control and mold no longer spreading, their basement is a safe, usable space again. Best of all, they have peace of mind knowing their daughter is safe from potential health risks!

Kim and Matt, proud owners of a 1940s home in Webberville, MI, grew increasingly concerned when they noticed bowing walls, a clear sign of foundation deterioration and potential safety risks. Adding to their worries, Kim was frustrated with the uneven bathroom floors, feeling that their beloved home was no longer the comfortable, secure space it once was. Determined to address these issues, they reached out to Ayers Basement Systems for help.

During the free inspection, our System Design Specialist identified not only foundation concerns but also signs of water intrusion in the crawl space. To resolve these issues, he recommended encapsulating the crawl space to improve moisture control and energy efficiency. Recognizing the long-term benefits, Kim and Matt decided to include this solution in their project. The comprehensive plan also featured Shotcrete to reinforce the bowing walls, SmartJacks to stabilize the uneven floors, and a TripleSafe™ Sump Pump for reliable water management.

With their home now stabilized, dry, and protected from future issues, Kim and Matt can once again enjoy the peace of mind and comfort they deserve. Their house has been restored to the safe, welcoming haven it was always meant to be.

Our free inspection revealed significant moisture from water intrusion and poor insulation. To resolve this, we installed a CleanSpace® vapor barrier, preventing moisture buildup, and a TripleSafe™ Sump Pump with an extended discharge line to keep water out. We also air-sealed and insulated the rim joist, eliminating drafts and maintaining a stable indoor environment.

Now, Chris and Stacy can enjoy a dry, healthy home without worrying about musty air affecting their family's well-being. Their home is safer, more energy-efficient, and ready for years of happy memories.

Chris and Stacy’s crawl space was damp and uninsulated, leading to musty air and health concerns for their family. Ayers installed CleanSpace® encapsulation, a TripleSafe™ Sump Pump, and rim joist insulation to keep moisture out and maintain a healthy environment.

Robert and Nancy from Leslie, MI, were eager to improve the comfort and air quality in their home after noticing a persistent dust problem and musty odors. Despite adding insulation and sealing windows and doors, the issues continued—especially affecting their new cat, who had already started sneezing from the airborne particles. They met with our System Design Specialist, Matt, at a local home show to find a lasting solution.

After a thorough inspection, we discovered the root cause: their unsealed crawl space was allowing dust, allergens, and moisture to enter the living space above. To fix this, we recommended a full crawl space encapsulation along with a SaniDry™ dehumidifier to control humidity and improve air quality.

Now, with the crawl space fully sealed and the dehumidifier in place, Robert and Nancy are already noticing a big difference. The musty smell is gone, the air feels cleaner, and their cat is more comfortable. Plus, their floors are warmer and their home is healthier overall—making a huge impact on their everyday life.

Gary and Alice, homeowners in Lansing, MI, recognized the potential issue of frozen pipes during the winter months. This concern was heightened by their son’s recent experience with a similar problem in a larger crawl space not too far from them. To alleviate their worries, Gary and Alice reached out to Ayers for a complimentary estimate and inspection to assess the conditions in their crawl space. They suspected that unsealed areas were allowing cold air to make it's way in, resulting in excessively cold temperatures and contributing to the chill in their home. After a comprehensive presentation of the proposed solution, they decided to proceed with Ayers. The production crew installed CleanSpace, an encapsulation and vapor barrier product, and utilized Foamax to seal the vacant spaces within the crawl space. This effective solution ensured that the crawl space would maintain a stable temperature throughout the winter months. As a result, Gary and Alice achieved peace of mind and enhanced energy efficiency in their home by preventing extreme cold from affecting their living space or bursting a pipe.

When three sisters purchased this 1926 home in Lansing, Michigan, they skipped the inspection, eager to take on a new project together. But before investing more time and money, they wanted to ensure the foundation was solid. They had noticed minor cracks in the basement walls and needed a professional assessment to confirm there were no major structural concerns or hidden safety issues.

Since they planned to flip the home, affordability was a key factor in their decision-making. They wanted to make smart, necessary improvements without unnecessary costs. After an inspection with one of our System Design Specialists, they decided to encapsulate the crawl space—a cost-effective way to prevent moisture issues, mold growth, and wood rot, all of which could threaten the foundation and long-term stability of the home.

Now, with the crawl space sealed and the foundation in great shape, the homeowners can move forward with confidence. Their home is protected from excess humidity, musty odors, and potential structural damage, making it a safer and more valuable property when it’s time to sell.

Tom’s driveway in Lansing, Michigan, was uneven, causing water to flow toward his home. Since he plans to move south in the next few years, he wanted to make sure the problem didn’t get worse or lead to water damage.

We used PolyLevel to lift and level the driveway, redirecting water away from the home, and applied NexusPro sealant to fill the cracks, preventing water and debris from causing further damage.

Now, Tom has peace of mind knowing his home is protected, and his driveway won’t be an issue when it’s time to sell!

Farid, a dedicated member of a 1950s church in East Lansing, MI, was determined to protect his place of worship from persistent water intrusion. During heavy rains, water would flood the courtyard, seep through the church doors, and spread into the basement. Inside, additional water entered where the floor met the poured concrete walls, creating ongoing concerns for the congregation.

Wanting a lasting solution, Farid reached out to Ayers Basement Systems for help. Our Systems Design Specialist, Matt, conducted a thorough inspection and tailored a plan that balanced effectiveness with the church’s budget constraints. To focus on the most critical areas, we installed an exterior crock along with two grate lids for the corrugated culvert. Where necessary, we removed and repoured concrete and installed a bubbler pot to prevent overflow by allowing excess water to escape to the surface.

Ayers Foreman, Caleb, led the installation, keeping Farid informed throughout the process to ensure every detail met the church’s needs. With the project completed, the congregation can now worship in a dry, protected space, free from the worries of water damage. This historic church is sure to remain a safe and welcoming sanctuary for years to come.

Tonya initially reached out to Ayers Basement Systems for an egress window installation. Her goals were to increase safety, bring natural light into her Okemos, MI, basement, and add value to her home as she planned to convert the space into a home office. After discussing the project with her family, they encouraged her to waterproof the basement first to avoid any future issues before finishing the space. It was a smart move; one that set the foundation for a much more durable and enjoyable basement transformation.

Our System Design Specialist, Matt, worked with Tonya to develop a comprehensive solution that addressed both her immediate and long-term needs. To ensure a dry, energy-efficient space, we installed a SuperSump® Premier Sump Pump System, a WaterGuard® drainage system, rim joist insulation, and an egress window with an integrated drainage solution. Foreman Caleb listened carefully to Tonya’s concerns throughout the project and made sure to accommodate her requests, including caulking around the new window well and keeping her informed about plant removal so she could preserve her garden.

Now that her basement is protected from water intrusion and filled with natural light, Tonya couldn’t be happier with the transformation. She especially loves the added brightness and the peace of mind that the new egress window provides. With the waterproofing complete and her vision coming to life, Tonya is ready to create the safe, comfortable, and beautifully lit finished basement she has always dreamed about.
