Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

A sump pump is essentially a pump that sits in a hole collecting water and pumping it out of your basement. While most homes have one, few have an effective one. Often times they can sit in a muddy hole, getting clogged the second the water and dirt mix, which defeats the whole purpose of the pump!

TripleSafe is a sump pump that contains 3 sumps all in one sturdy liner. The liner has holes in it to accept water from the ground and a larger hole to accept water from the perimeter drainage system. 1 of the pumps allow it to function in the event that the first one can't keep up or fails. The 3rd pump is battery operated, and will kick in in case the power goes out. TripleSafe ensures that no matter what, water is always being emptied from your home.

These Charlotte, MI residents were experiencing water seepage through the poured walls in their crawlspace and were concerned about mold growth.

We installed our patented CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system. CleanSpace is a 20mm thick plastic lining that completely seals off the crawl space from the elements below. No more water or cold air can enter the crawl space with this installment. CleanSpace is made with anti-microbial properties that prevent mold growth, so these residents can rest assured that their basement will not fall victim to mold.

This home built in the 1800’s never had issues with water in their basement until recently. The old stone walls on one end of the basement started to leak just below the ledge in the wall. The perfect solution for this was WaterGuard. This drainage system consists of specially designed piping that is laid on top of the footing of the foundation with the purpose of catching wall leaks. The water that’s collected is then rerouted along the perimeter of the room to the sump pump where it’s pumped out of the basement. Who knows how many more years this house can stick around now that its basement is dry!

First things first, you will not be able to fix a bowing wall without the help of professionals. Your basement is the foundation of your home and if that wall falls your entire home could fall with it, so it's important to take care of a bowing or leaning wall as soon as possible. 

For this home in Charlotte, MI we were able to use our Wall Anchor's to fix this wall that was leaning from the pressure of the soil outside of it. These are the best option to bring a wall back to its original position over time. The installation is also fairly quick but you must have room outside of your house so if you have neighbors very close we can discuss other options with you. 

Ron's walkway to the front porch was sinking and causing a tripping hazard with the unlevel concrete slabs. We used PolyLevel to even the slabs and remove the trip hazard. PolyLevel is a light weight foam injectable that is very strong. It is waterproof so it wont wash away and it is stable so it wont react with the soil. PolyLevel foam has a quick curing time so it wont inconvenience you, the concrete can be full load bearing in just 15 minutes.
