Wyoming Basement Waterproofing Services

An interior drainage channel collects water that's coming in along your basement floor or through cracks in the walls. The collected water is directed to a sump pump, which pumps the water out of your home. The award-winning WaterGuard system is designed to resist clogging and is hidden beneath the floor. We can also install a powerful, high-performance sump pump, battery backup pump, and energy-efficient basement dehumidifier to give you a basement that's dry and comfortable.

What are the common wet basement issues you fix?
  • Basement flooding
  • Wet basements
  • Damp or moldy basements
  • Leaking foundation cracks
  • High basement humidity
  • Uncomfortable temperatures
Can a wet basement affect the rest of my home?

Moisture intrusion problems, such as basement flooding and leaks, can cause mold growth. Eventually, mold can lead to poor indoor air quality, foundation problems, decaying beams and joists, and structural failure.

How to waterproof a basement?

Whether your basement has leaking wall cracks, leaking basement windows, high water table, or burst pipes, Ayers Basement Systems provides guaranteed solutions to keep the basement dry, including:

  • Hidden drainage systems are installed along the perimeter of the basement floor to collect water and direct it to a sump pump.
  • Sump pumps move water out of the home and away from the foundation.
  • Dehumidifiers control basement humidity, which prevents mold and wood rot.
  • Replacement windows for better energy efficiency and to prevent leaks around damaged components.

Crawl Space Encapsulation & Waterproofing in Wyoming

If not properly sealed, moisture and pests can enter your crawl space and cause damage. If you have mold, moisture, or water problems in your crawl space, then you are wasting valuable storage space. The CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation can seal out moisture and prevent mold and rot in the crawl space. Our system has been trusted by hundreds of homeowners in the Wyoming, MI area.

What causes water in my crawl space?

These are just some of the factors that can cause flooding and moisture intrusion in the crawl space:

  • Poor exterior grading
  • Faulty gutters and downspouts
  • Freeze-thaw cycles leading to expanding and contracting
  • Snowmelt oversaturating soil
  • Hydrostatic pressure
  • High humidity
  • Soil shrinkage and foundation settlement
  • Plumbing leaks
  • High groundwater levels
How does a wet crawl space affect a home's structure?
  • Wood rot can deteriorate floor joists and beams and lead to sagging floors. Crawl space water can erode the soil around the foundation and cause settling and floor and wall cracks.
  • Moisture causes nails, fasteners, and ductwork to rust and corrode, which compromises the foundation’s strength.
  • Dampness creates the perfect environment for mold, which can spread to wooden beams, eventually causing decay.
  • Moisture can attract termites, carpenter ants, and other pests that may feed and burrow into wood and weaken structural elements.
How can I prevent water intrusion in my crawl Space?

Ayers Basement Systems uses the crawl space encapsulation system by CleanSpace to prevent flooding and moisture intrusion. Here's how it works:

  • We will install a thick, vinyl moisture barrier on the crawl space floor and walls.
  • We seal vents to keep moisture and outside air from entering the space. 
  • We may also install a drainage system and sump pump to take care of any standing water or flooding problems. 
  • We will install a dehumidifier to condition the space.

Foundation Repair in Wyoming

Foundation problems can affect the safety and value of your home. We have repaired hundreds of foundations in and around Wyoming. We repair basement, crawl space, and slab foundations. Whether you're dealing with foundation cracks, bowing basement walls, a sunken concrete slab, or soil issues, we have a solution to repair and restore your home's foundation.

What are common foundation problems in Wyoming?
  • Frequent freezing and thawing cycles when going from summer to winter cause soil expansion, leading to foundation cracks, bowing walls, and settling.
  • The lake-effect snow from the proximity to Lake Michigan and heavy spring rains can lead to water seeping into the basement or crawl space, causing flooding and structural damage.
  • The moisture issues combined with the warm, humid summer temperatures create the perfect environment for mold growth, musty odors, wood rot, and efflorescence.
How to repair foundation problems?

Some foundation problems, like minor cracks, might not affect the structural integrity of your home. As a foundation specialist, we will evaluate the situation and recommend the best solution. We offer a wide range of foundation repair solutions, including:

  • Wall Anchors stabilize leaning and bowing walls while preventing further movement.
  • Wall Braces will hold leaning or bowing walls in place and prevent further movement.
  • Foundation & slab piers are driven into the ground into stable load-bearing soil to lift and stabilize settling foundations.
  • Pier & beam jacks are adjustable house jacks meant for crawl space or pier and beam foundations. They correct sagging floors by being placed under beams to provide permanent support.
  • Concrete leveling using innovative solutions to stabilize sinking concrete slabs.
  • Whatever structural problem you have, Ayers Basement Systems can fix it. Give us a call to schedule a foundation inspection and free cost estimate.

Concrete Leveling & Repair in Wyoming

Ayers Basement Systems uses specialized systems to repair cracked concrete and level sunken or uneven concrete slabs, including foundations, driveways, sidewalks, and patios. Plus, we even offer concrete sealing to extend your slabs' lifespans by 3 to 5 times overall in just one quick application! We are the trained concrete repair contractor in Wyoming, MI.

How does PolyLevel work?

Here's how PolyLevel® works: We first drill penny-sized holes in the slab to access the voided areas underneath. An expanding foam is pumped into the holes, filling the voids, and raising the sunken concrete slab to its original level. Finally, the holes are filled and patched. Depending on the size of the slab, full use of the slab can begin just 15 minutes after the process is complete!

How is PolyLevel different from mudjacking?
  • The lightweight polyurethane foam in PolyLevel expands and hardens for an accurate lift while mudjacking uses a heavy water, soil, sand, and cement slurry mixture.
  • Non-invasive, quick-to-install PolyLevel uses an expanding foam injected through small 5/8 inch holes to fill voids and raise slabs. Mudjacking requires larger holes, 1 to 2 inches, with the slurry being pumped under. The weight and consistency of this slurry are often messier.
  • PolyLevel cures in under an hour while mudjacking can take up to 24 hours or more.
  • Since PolyLevel is lightweight, it ensures more precise lifting because it won't add unnecessary weight to the slab. The heavy slurry from mudjacking adds extra weight, which is a problem where soil contraction is a concern.
  • PolyLevel is resistant to moisture and has less risk of re-settlement over time, making it the more durable option. The slurry from mudjacking can absorb moisture, which can lead to more settling and less stability.
How does concrete repair prolong the lifespan of slabs?

When you address damaged concrete quickly, you prevent future damage by:

  • Eliminating water infiltration that can lead to expansion and additional damage through cracked concrete repairs.
  • Protecting against wear, freeze-thaw cycles, moisture, chemicals, UV rays, abrasions, and more by adding a barrier to the surface of slabs with concrete sealing.
What types of concrete can be repaired?

The types of concrete surfaces we repair include:

  • Driveways
  • Patios
  • Walkways
  • Garage floors
  • Interior floors
  • Warehouse floors
  • And more!

How much does an egress window installation cost?

Egress Window Installation in Wyoming, MI

Larry's daughter and granddaughter were moving in with him. He wanted to make sure they had a safe place to stay and decided to finished his basement. As a result, he wanted an Egress window installed. The basement bedroom codes require that there are two exits out of the basement, being the door and the window, and unfortunately people can't fit through those small submarine windows. Egress windows are energy efficient and mildew-resistant.
