Scott worried about the water pooling on his basement floor after every storm. He knew his sump pump wasn't working and wanted to replace it, so he researched his options and called Ayers to learn about our waterproofing solutions. We sent a team of experts to his home to assess the situation and recommend a solution. They suggested the TripleSafe sump pump designed to prevent pump failure with three separate pumps. The first is the primary, followed by a backup, and finally a battery-powered backup pump in case of outages. Scott is relieved to have a dry basement!
Jose really needed to tackle the water intrusion in his basement that would occur during heavy rains so he gave Ayers a call. We had a crew inspect his basement in order to develop a plan with the best solutions for his situation. From this inspection it was decided that our WaterGuard System and TripleSafe Sump Pump System will provide the best fix. The WaterGuard is a sub-floor drainage system that collects water that leaks in through the walls and directs it to the sump pump rather than gathering on the floor. We conceal the system with concrete when finished. Then for a more efficient sump pump we added TripleSafe as this is a three pump system that fits in one durable liner and keeps water out of the home. Jose was relieved that he no longer has to worry about puddles ruining his belongings!
Jessica's historic home was facing foundation issues, with a sinking footer causing cracks to reappear in the plaster walls. Concerned for her mother’s safety, she sought a second opinion from Ayers Basement Systems. Our team installed a helical pier foundation support system to stabilize and lift the affected area, providing a lasting and cost-effective solution. Now, Jessica has peace of mind knowing her home is secure, allowing her to focus on preserving its historic charm.
After discovering a large horizontal foundation crack and worsening basement leaks, Jessie and her mother Gina turned to Ayers Basement Systems for help. With a PowerBrace™ Wall Repair System and WaterGuard® waterproofing solution, their Lansing, MI home is now stable, dry, and protected for years to come.
This customer gave us a call after noticing long cracks across the walls and ceiling in their sun room. The room was held up by wood pillars installed into the deck area outside. The weight of the room became too much for the pillars to hold and the room began to shift. This was evident to both the homeowner and our crew because of the uneven floor and cracked walls. It was a different problem, but not out of our wheelhouse.
Lifting failing foundations and floor joists is nothing new to us over at Ayers. In fact, it’s pretty common. To treat this problem and ensure that it won’t return, we use SmartJacks. The great benefit of using SmartJacks for this job, instead of the already in place wood pillars, is that they were designed for heavy duty use. The support system is mostly used to repair crawl spaces and raise the above floors back to their original position, so there was no doubt that the SmartJacks could handle the weight. The team used 6 steel SmartJacks and installed them deep into the soil with a concrete fill. This way the homeowner can rest assured that the support system won’t fail, even if the ground does. If you’re looking for an expert solution to your sagging floor and a team that will have fun while installing it, then give us a call and ask if the SmartJack support system could help you.
