Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Courtney has had water issues in her basement for the past year she has been in her home. Water was coming in where the wall meets the floor but also seeped in through the cinder block wall. The water that enters the basement pools in the middle of the room but there is no sump pump. We installed the WaterGuard system to keep the water out of the basement. The system is made up of a French drain that is installed under the floor but above the foundation so it won't clog. It collects water that seeps into the basement and sends it to the sump pump to get discharged. We also installed the TripleSafe Sump Pump System to provide her with three levels of protection to her basement. It makes sure that water is getting expelled out of the home even in the event of a power outage or a pump malfunctioning. 

Terri had some water intrusion in her basement during and after heavy rains. There was one spot in her basement where water collects behind her wall, leaving the spot wet, and excess water gets pushed out through a crack. She did not know where the water was coming from but it could have been an issue with the window right above the leak. 

We installed a new basement window to prevent leaks and make sure the seals are safe. We also installed FlexiSpan Wall Crack Repair to cover the cracks where water was getting behind the wall and where the water leaked out. This sealant is flexible so it can move with the wall and ensures that the crack is sealed. It installs smoothly over the wall so it can easily be covered with basement finishings!

Duane had no sump pump in his Kalamazoo, MI basement and had recently noticed that one of the walls was a bit damp. He called Ayers for an inspection and our crew determined that Duane would need WaterGuard, the TripleSafe sump pump, and a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to correct the water intrusion. Duane also requested our BrightWall paneling to make the basement look nice. 

WaterGuard is a sub-floor waterproofing system that collects water that leaks through the walls and keeps dirt away from the foundation. It is installed along the perimeter of the basement and on top of the footing of the foundation. Concrete is poured on top and regular flooring can be placed on top. The TripleSafe sump pump system utilizes three pumps in order to remove excess water from the basement. The second and third pumps are in case of emergencies so the basement can remain dry, even when the power goes out. The SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier automatically removes up to 100 pints of water a day from the air in the home’s basement. This system circulates the now dry air through the basement and automatically removes the leftover water so you don’t have to.   

Duane was thrilled with the work done by Ayers to accurately correct his water intrusion in the basement. He was so happy to have caught the problem early before it could cause major damage. Before we were done with the installation, Duane requested BrightWall panels for the walls. BrightWall panels are the perfect solution for those who want to combine beauty and practicality in one. It is a rigid plastic covering that is completely waterproof and made of inorganic materials. This keeps the walls from becoming waterlogged and moldy like wood. The bright white panels reflect the light, maximizing lighting in the basement. 

Lisa and her mother have lived in their Kalamazoo, MI home for a while and have been monitoring the condition of the driveway for about 2 years. Recently, they noticed it has gotten much worse. Multiple slabs in the concrete driveway were sinking and water was flowing underneath. They want to live in the home forever, so they want to take care of it the best they can. Ayers was more than willing to be the one to take care of the problem. After our crew came out for an inspection, they determined that the driveway would need a combination of NexusPro and PolyLevel. 

NexusPro is a sealant that fills the cracks in the concrete. It is extremely withstanding to harsh weather so it will remain intact for years. The PolyLevel system is used to repair sinking concrete by drilling minuscule holes into the slab and filling them with foam. The foam raises the slab and fortifies it to make it last even longer.  

Lisa and her mother were ecstatic with the work done by the Ayers crew. They are so happy they took care of the driveway now, before the winter freeze comes through and makes it worse. They were thrilled with how the driveway looked after the installation.

Verbina called Ayers because her basement had cracks throughout all the walls, constantly letting dirt inside. The home was built in 1956 and was vacant for a few years. Our crew came out for an inspection and determined Verbena would need ShotCrete to seal off her foundation. 

Shotcrete is a sprayable concrete that stabilizes basement walls and fills any holes that let in unwanted dirt, water, or air. It’s applied though a high-pressure hose. The extra air propelling the concrete out is what makes the shotcrete able to be applied to vertical and sloping surfaces.  

Verbina was thrilled with the work completed by Ayers Basement Systems and our crews. She was so happy she doesn’t have to deal with the dirt and dust in the basement anymore and can actually use it.
