Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

When a potential buyer asked if there was anything that could be done about this Edwardsburg, MI crawl space, the current owner and real estate agent called us out for help. The dirt floor in the before picture makes for an easy passageway for moisture to enter the crawl space and cause problems. However, the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier that was installed would put a stop to that. The CleanSpace barrier, seen in the after photo, is impenetrable by moisture or vapor. It’s the type of long lasting encapsulation that future owners know they can depend on. And if the vapor barrier wasn’t enough on its own, CleanSpace wasn’t the only thing added to the home. The yellow lid in the after photo is our SmartSump. Our SmartSump system is a sump pump designed specifically for crawl spaces that will discharge any water that does enter for maximum crawl space protection. Whoever ends up buying this home will be lucky enough to also receive a full crawl space encapsulation system.

It's pretty obvious that you have to have a way for your gutters to drain water away from your house. However, most discharge lines are bulky, not very appealing and can be a pain to mow around and can even be a tripping hazard. We have the perfect solution to this. The LawnScape outlet work great if you want to bury those unwanted discharge lines. This works well even if you have virutally no pitch. It's designed so it won't clog and it's barely noticable in your yard, which is a win in our book.

The homeowners were noticing puddles of water on the floor in their basement. The water was coming in from the corners of their basement and their existing sump pump was not removing water effectively. Our team knew something had to be done!

Our professional team installed the SuperSump premier sump pump system. 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.   

The homeowners had water coming into their basement every time it rained. The water would seep in through the basement corners causing damage to the homeowners walls and floors.

Our professional team installed WaterGuard long lasting interior perimeter drainage system to combat this seeping water! The WaterGuard system is designed to capture water seepage from the floors and walls and direct that water to the sump pump so it can be effectively removed from the home. The WaterGuard system is the best interior drainage system around because it sits on the top of the footing in your basement so it does not get clogged and it does not cause any damage to your basements foundation. The system is nearly invisible when installed and is less expensive to install compared to exterior perimeter drainage systems. 

The homeowners space is now clean and dry! 

Some sump pump manufacturers will sell you their sump pump by saying that you get free replacements or a lifetime warranty but how true is that? But think about it, how will you know when your pump needs to be replaced? Probably once it has already flooded your entire basement which is what we're trying to prevent. So basically your lifetime warranty of free replacements are going to be no help. 

We have the best pumps on the market. There is literally a pump to suit everyones basement needs. The SuperSump installed here comes with an airtight lid to prevent water from evaporating back into your basement and to prevent unwanted debris from clogging your pump.  There is also a pump stand to elevate the pump above the sump liner a little bit so no clogging and keep everything clean. The best part too is that it comes equipped with a pump alarm to alert you if its failing or your basement is in danger of being flooded.
