Reputable Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair Experts in Marshall, MI

Jeff found his basement flooded. He contacted Ayers and had our resident foreman Randy inspect the area. Randy found that the home's sump pump was over worked and needed a new one. Randy replaced the old pump with an Ayers trusted model, the TripleSafe sump pump.

TripleSafe is a trusted sump pump at Ayers due to its three levels of security. The first level is a powerful motor that has a high water capacity. The second level of security is a reserve motor that activates if the water surpasses a certain level on the initial motor. The third level of security is a backup battery that only activates if the home losses power.

The Wells have lived in their home since the 60s and do not plan on moving anytime soon. Their "forever home" is as lovely as their long-standing marriage so when their crawlspace was showing signs of moisture damage and sloping floors they needed a team to treat their home with the same care they have for the past 60 years. After some colorful conversation with our foreman Blade, he got straight to work inspecting the home and diagnosing the issue.

The home suffered from overworked sump pumps, so much so that the smell from the burning motors was present. The home's crawl space was too big for just one pump and what few supports were present. Blade and his team fitted the crawl space with PowerBrace supports and a CleanSpace lining all while treating the moisture with a powerful dehumidifier.

The PowerBrace supports are steel beams anchored into the floor of the basement with concrete blocks and fixed to the rim joist with a load baring joint at the top. The PowerBraces are strategically placed and prived a constant source of corrective pressure so that the problem will not return. The CleanSpace lining is placed on the walls and ceiling of the crawlspace, providing an antimicrobial lining to fight the effects of water exposure. These treatments were being done all while using a dehumidifier as a means of removing the moisture in the air that could cause mold spores and wood rot.

In Marshall, Michigan a customer informed us about her unlevel concrete steps that lead into her house from the backyard pool. Unlevel steps are super hazardous, and the last place that anybody would like to land when falling is on concrete steps. So, we decided to fix those steps permanently by adding our PolyLevel technology. PolyLevel is a polymer injection foam that is blasted into the concrete to make the concrete level and stronger than ever before.

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.

Our customer from Marshall, Michigan was cursed with a problem-causing crawl space, and needed an encapsulation system. Good thing, we had a great product for them.

We installed our patented CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system for this job. CleanSpace is a crawl space encapsulation system that keeps crawl spaces dry and free of elements surrounding it. CleanSpace also seals air leaks to guard your home against cold air coming in through your floor. And as an added bonus, this system is manufactured with anti-microbial properties that prevent mold growth.

Dennis W. of Marshall, MI had water coming up through the floor of his basement. His home was built in 1915 and it was starting to show. Thankfully, we had a solution.

We installed our patented SuperSump sump pump 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.

With this installment, Dennis can now live in his home comfortably. 

These homeowners had a 1996 poured concrete foundation basement that had water entering the basement where the floor and walls met. There was also a small crack on one of the walls that was further contributing to the issue. In order to collect water that was entering the home, we installed the effective WaterGuard system. This drainage system was installed underneath the flooring around the interior perimeter of the basement. Water that flows down into the drainage pipes is immediately discarded into the home’s sump pump to prevent it from leaking out onto the floor. An additional discharge line was installed to carry intruding water out of the home and a LawnScape outlet was attached to the end of the line to efficiently discard and lead exiting water away from the home. To seal off the crack in the wall, we installed the FlexiSpan system, which is a flexible, waterproof sealant. Once applied, water would no longer make its way into the home and the flexible material allowed the wall to shift while keeping to sealant in tact.

Nathan V. of Marshall, MI has a home that was built in 1996 with a poured concrete foundation. Water was coming in where concrete slabs meet, so Nathan gave us a call.

Our fix? The FlexiSpan polyurethane sealant. FlexiSpan moves with the natural shift of a foundation wall, guaranteeing a waterproof seal. 

Roger Q. of Marshall, MI has a home that was built in the 1930s with no basement. An addition was built in 1993 with a full unfinished basement. However, when it would rain, the basement would flood, leaving the basement filled with up to 5 inches of water. 

Our solution? The WaterGuard French drain system. WaterGuard rests below the basement floor and above the foundation footing, collecting water that seeps into the basement (especially when it rains). This water is then directed to the basement's sump pump to be pumped up and out of the home.

Dusttina C. of Marshall, MI had a basement that got wet when it rained. There were two smalls area on a wall in the basement where most of the water leaked in from. The foundation walls are cement blocks. The original part of the home was a ranch, and then was added on to in 1971. 

To fix the water issue in Dusttina's home, we started by installing our patented WaterGuard system. WaterGuard is a French drain system that rests below the basement floor and above the foundation footing, collecting water and redirecting it to the sump pump. WaterGuard is covered by cement during installation so that it is hardly noticible when the project is finished,

We then installed the SaniDry XP upright dehumidifier. SaniDry is powerful enough that it can remove up to 109 pints of water per day and has an air filter so refined that it removes particles as small as 2 microns. With the SaniDry XP, humidity will no longer be a problem in this basement. 

Woody H. of Marshall, MI was a first time homeowner who had block foundation walls. The foundation was in bad shape and needed support, so he called us. 

We did a couple of things to remedy this issue for Woody. First, we installed our PowerBrace foundation wall repair system. PowerBrace is made of steel I-beams that secure to the joists above the foundation wall to offer maximum support. Bowing, tilting, or buckling walls do not stand a a chance with this system. PowerBrace is even strong enough that upon adjusting the system over time, the foundation walls can be taken back to their original position. 

What we did next was install CarbonArmor wall reinforcing system. CarbonArmor are strips made from reinforced polymer, pulling a foundation wall back to its original position. 

This winning combination is what saved Woody's basement -- and it can save yours too.

Pam D. from Marshall, MI used to deal with a leaky basement. She considered it a short, Michigan basement made over 100 years ago with poured concrete. She experienced water coming into the basement at one corner where the wall and floors meet. The water entering into the petite basement could have caused mold growth and general humidity in Pam's home, leaving lasting effects like allergies and sticking doors and windows.

What we did to fix this problem was install our patented CleanSpace encapsulation system. CleanSpace is generally used for crawl spaces, but is versatile enough that it was perfect for this basement. CleanSpace is a 20mm thick plastic lining that when installed, sealed off Pam's basement from the elements, completely. No dirt, water, or moisture will be coming into her home, now. CleanSpace is also developed with anti-microbial components, preventing the growth of mold. 

Now Pam can be happy to have a Michigan basement, knowing it is clean and dry.
