Innovative Foundation Repair & Basement Waterproofing Company in La Porte County

Walter and Christy S. had water seeping into one of the bedrooms in their home. They were looking for a solution that would properly collect and discard intruding water before the situation continued to worsen.

Our team of experts installed the WaterGuard system, which used drainage pipes located underneath the flooring to collect and discard intruding water into the home’s sump pump.

Moisture was gathering in one of Sam's basement walls. It was causing his walls to bow and crack, so he called our team. In order to keep water out, we installed WaterGuard. WaterGuard is a basement drainage system that is unlike many other drains. Instead of being installed outside, it is installed inside your basement in order to avoid it being clogged. This 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.

There were cracks and sunken parts in a customer's concrete basement flooring, so he called our team. We installed PolyLevel, a system designed to fix concrete slabs that have sunk by using polyurethane foam that expands and has a high density in order to raise the concrete. The process is quite simple and is done by drilling small holes into the concrete and then inserting the foam into the holes. Also, the PolyLevel system is waterproof and long-lasting. 

Ron and Sandra's addition to their house was sinking and their windows were sticking. So they called our team and we installed SmartJack. SmartJack is a system produced to halt your settlement issues. Floors above crawl spaces are vulnerable due to the moisture and soils in your crawl space and the SmartJack system is a permanent fix to these issues. It uses steel columns, threaded rods and a solid base to address any issues your crawl space may introduce to your home. Installing this system usually takes less than a day and it provides immediate stabilization.

Kathy called our team about the bowing wall in her basement. So our team installed the GeoLock Anchor System which permanently stabilized Kathy's wall. In most cases it can eventually straighten the wall back to its original position. It is done by putting heavy anchors in stable soil away from your foundation wall. This system is ideal because it involves minimal disturbance to Kathy's lawn and home. 

Water was entering a customer’s basement through his window. So he called our team and we installed an Egress Window. Most windows offer minimal protection against outside air and moisture entering the home due to poor insulation around the window. Egress windows help ventilate your indoor areas and prevent unwanted allergens from entering your house.

Dana and Brian's floor was sagging so they called our team. The sagging was most noticeable over their crawl space so our team installed SmartJack. SmartJack is a system produced to halt your sagging floors. Floors above crawl spaces are vulnerable due to the moisture and soils in your crawl space. The SmartJack system is a permanent fix to these issues. It uses steel columns, threaded rods and a solid base to address any issues your crawl space may introduce to your floors. Installing this system usually takes less than a day and it provides immediate stabilization.

James had water seeping into his basement where the floor and wall meet. So he called our team and we installed WaterGuard and IceGuard in his home. WaterGuard is a basement drainage system created to keep your basement dry. Unlike many other drains, WaterGuard is installed inside your basement in order to avoid it being clogged. This drain will catch any leakage from higher walls or floors before it reaches your basement floor. IceGuard is a sump pump discharge line system. Even when frozen, this system allows water to leave. Therefore, this system prevents flooding even in freezing temperatures.

Water was seeping into James's basement where the floor and the wall meet so our team installed TripleSafe. TripleSafe is a sump pump system that’s main goal is to keep your basement dry. This system has three pumps so that it can handle the highest pumping demands. In addition, one of the pumps is battery powered which allows it to continue to pump water even during power outages.

A customer had heavy water intrusion in his basement so he called our team for help. We installed WaterGuard, a basement drainage system that unlike many other drains, is installed inside your basement in order to avoid it being clogged. This drainage system 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. 

A customer needed help repairing his walls after water had severely damaged them. So our team installed CarbonArmor, a wall reinforcing system constructed to repair damaged and bowing foundation walls. Both of these problems are serious and will only get worse over time. Therefore CarbonArmor is used to fix your foundation walls by preventing inward movement and reducing the cracks in your walls. This system can easily be concealed for your basement to have a sleek, finished look.

Denise and John are living in Denise's childhood home but were noticing some water in the basement. There was a crack in the wall that was allowing water to seep into the home as well as water that was coming in where the wall and floor met. To fix the crack, we installed CarbonArmor which is made from flexible carbon fiber straps. These straps are stronger in tension than steel and are attached to the wall using a high strength resin which won't affect basement finishing. Once the crack was sealed, we had to deal with the water issue so we installed the WaterGuard. 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 has seeped into the area and sends it to the sump pump to be discharged outside of the home. 

This Michigan City home had some sagging floors, cracking in the kitchen, and had some bending in the support posts that were already installed in the home. We installed the SmartJack Support System. This system is installed by attaching steel support beams to your floor joists and a sturdy base at the floor. Once all posts are installed, they are adjusted to raise your floors to a level position. These posts keep the floor from sagging and keep the cracks from getting worse.

Mary called us and wanted to add an egress window to her finished basement. We gladly installed one for safety and to create a nice atmosphere in the area. Egress windows allow for a safe exit in case of emergencies due to the larger window and the well that contains steps. The large window also lets a lot of natural light into the basement which makes the room look brighter, larger, and more welcoming! 

Cynthia was dealing with leftover water that melted from the winter inside her home. Not sure how to approach the problem, she contacted Ayers for a solution.

Our resident foreman Bruce was able to inspect the area and see what the home was working with. Bruce noticed that there was little in the way of protective care so he fitted the home's crawlspace with a CleanSpace lining
