Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Homeowners in Kalamazoo, MI were experiencing several inches of water throughout their entire basement. The problem? No sump pump!

We installed the TripleSafe sump pump system. TripleSafe is a safeguard feature that includes the use of three pumps to ensure this basement will stay dry, even in power outages and severe weather events. In the case of heavy water or primary pump failure, the second and more powerful pump will kick in, if there is a power outage the battery powered UltraSump will take over.

Pathways to the front door see a lot of foot traffic and it can be dangerous if the cement is unlevel. This sidewalk could be a tripping hazard, it's not very appealing and it can pool water especially in those cold winter months with all the snow. 

We used PolyLevel to inject structural grade polymers beneath the cement which will lift it back up to its desired height. PolyLevel cures quickly and can be driven on about 15 minutes after the material cures. The material is also waterproof so there's no worries that it will wash out. 

This homeowner called us because he wanted to get a crack in his basement wall fixed. The walls are poured concrete and the crack that is present allows water to enter with heavy rain. Basement walls tend to move due to concrete shrinking/expanding and because of the pressure given off from the soil surrounding the wall.

Considering these problems, we installed the FlexiSpan sealant, which repairs water leaks due to a cracks in a wall. The sealant is flexible and specially made to move with the wall to make sure the crack is sufficiently sealed and doesn’t re-crack as the wall continues to shift. This system also includes the installation of a drain at the base of the seal to make sure any water leakage can drain easily. 

This customer had a front porch slab that was sinking. The homeowner was looking for a solution that would permanently raise the slab and prevent it from settling again in the future.

The effective PolyLevel system was installed to raise the slab while dealing with the weak soils below that caused it sink in the first place. We drilled a few small holes into the concrete slab, deep enough to reach the soil below. We then injected specialized polymers underneath the concrete that expanded to immediately raise the slabs back to their proper levels. Once installed, the system only needed about 15 minutes to cure and the homeowner was left with the leveled porch he was looking for.

A basement wall in Kalamazoo, MI had vertical cracks going all the way down the length of it. Our professional team took one look at the wall and knew something had to be done. In the before picture, you can see what the vertical cracks going all the way down the wall look like.

We decided that out CarbonArmor system would be the best option! The flexible, fabric straps our team installed on the wall are stronger than concrete, 10 times stronger than steel and are specifically designed to be used on basement walls. The unique flexible design allows the CarbonArmor system to contour tightly to the cracks in the wall. In the after picture, you can see the fixed wall with the CarbonArmor system installed. The wall is now as strong as ever and the cracks are fixed!
