Your Trusted, Local Wayne County, MI Wet Basement & Structural Repair Company

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.

Brian W's basement and crawlspace was in dire need of waterproofing and presented many of the issues crawl spaces in Michigan have; it was moist, leaking and filled with critters. All these factors cost Brian as air leaked outside through his vented crawl space making his energy bill a nightmare.

Our system design specialist Ron N designed a solution to seal and insulate Brain's entire crawl space with our CleanSpace system. CleanSpace stops water vapor from entering through the soil and the crawl space walls. Before we installed the bright white CleanSpace liner, we laid out drainage matting to provide a waterproof barrier between the exposed soil floor and Brain's basement. This matting allows water to flow up under the liner to a sump in the crawlspace floor. The liner we installed is engineered with inorganic material that prevents mold and bacteria growth which will protect Brian and his family from illnesses like asthma or allergies.

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!

Gabriella and Josh got their Dearborn, MI crawl space encapsulated by another company years ago. The previous company did not properly complete the job, they just laid down a sheet of plastic. She is a repeat customer of Ayers, so called us back to fix the job. Our crew came out for an inspection and determined that the couple would need drainage matting with CleanSpace would be the perfect solution for them. 

Drainage matting is a liner for the crawl space that is placed underneath the CleanSpace plastic liner. If the crawlspace ever floods, the dimpled mat allows water to pass underneath to the drain and sump pump. CleanSpace is a moisture barrier that uses a thick plastic liner along basement and 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 crawl space, in turn, will cut down on how much it costs to heat or cool the home. 

Gabriella and Josh were thrilled that Ayers could come in and get the job done properly. They never have to worry about water, dirt, or animals coming into the crawl space ever again.
