Angela called Ayers for help sealing up the wall crack in her basement that was causing water intrusion. We sent a team to inspect this problem area and from this it was decided that FlexiSpan would resolve this pesky issue. For this installation process first the wall cracks are filled with a watertight, flexible sealant and then another drainage layer is added for the case that water does permeate the membrane it would flow down the original wall. The water is directed to the drainage system we install below. Angela was happy with this quicker and more efficient fix rather than a full wall remodel!
Chelsea realized the crawl space beneath her home had a dirt floor. She was concerned this could allow pests inside her home or extra water during a storm, so she called Ayers for help. Our team of experts visited her home to evaluate the issue and provide a solution. They recommended the CleanSpace vapor barrier, an antimicrobial material designed to last alongside the house, far stronger than a store-bought tarp. The vapor barrier is uninterrupted, covering the walls and floors of the crawl space and keeping moisture, pests, and mold out. Chelsea is relieved to have a clean crawl space!
Chris and Stacy’s crawl space was damp and uninsulated in their Lansing house, leading to musty air and health concerns for their family. Ayers installed CleanSpace® encapsulation, a TripleSafe™ Sump Pump, and rim joist insulation to keep moisture out and maintain a healthy environment. Now, their home is dry, comfortable, and safe for years to come.
Signs of water damage led this couple to call us. The buildup of iron ochre bacteria had rendered their current drainage system ineffective and the entire setup needed to be replaced.
We installed a new TripleSafe sump pump system with IceGuard and a LawnScape outlet, and due to the presence of the iron ochre, we used the WaterGuard IOS Perimeter Drain Channel, which features a wider design and removable lid for easy access and maintenance.
The new WaterGuard system will direct water to the sump pump, and with its easy access lid it will be easier to maintain the iron ochre problem and stop the buildup from recurring.
Think of this as more of a "before" and "during," so you can see what WaterGuard installation looks like in progress.
The owners of the building that was once O'Rafferty High School in Lansing called us because the sump pump wasn't able to keep up with the water (and had a pretty nasty iron ochre problem) and the basement had a steadily increasing water problem.
After installing a new TripleSafe sump pump, it took almost 600 feet of WaterGuard, and another 100 feet of cross drainage and 200 feet of extra discharge line, to properly drain the water in this huge basement.
When WaterGuard is installed, it's necessary to take out some of the concrete floor, as well as cut back the walls at floor level in order to properly install it. This, along with the cross tile drainage, is what is pictured in the after. Post-installation, it's just a matter of pouring new concrete and replacing the removed sections of wall, and the basement is good as new.
