Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Discharge lines from your sump pump are inevitable, you have to have them to get water out of your basement. BUT...what if we told you we can bury them. We know how big of a pain they are to mow around or having to worry about people tripping over them and they aren't the most appealing landscape. Once the system is installed and we have all these discharge lines running through the yard to make sure the water is getting far enough away from your house we will bury them so you can't see them. This probably makes you wonder how the water is going to exit then, but at the end of the discharge line we will put on a LawnScape outlet. This will still drain the water and it's almost impossible to see in your yard.  

One afternoon we received a call from Dave, a homeowner in Grand Ledge, MI. He informed us that he was experiencing water seepage through the foundation walls in his crawlspace. This became a major concern for Dave as it led to significant moisture issues throughout his home. Dave had seen Ayers Basement Systems commercials on TV and had personally seen crawlspaces encapsulated by our crawl space experts! This made him very motivated to have his crawlspace encapsulated by us. After assessing Dave’s crawlspace needs, we installed our patented CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system to address the current issues being faced below his home. The CleanSpace encapsulation product is a 20mm thick plastic lining that completely seals off the crawl space from the harsh elements it faces below. To supplement the CleanSpace, we also installed FrothPak rim joist foam insulation. This will increase the energy efficiency of Dave’s home and help lower his energy costs. With this CleanSpace encapsulation system in place, we were able to turn this wet crawlspace into a healthy, dry and usable space.

This Grand Ledge home had a large amount of water coming into the basement where the wall meets the floor. The father has asthma but with all the moisture in the home, the parents are worried the children will get asthma too. We had just the products to keep their home dry and free of water. First we installed the WaterGuard system which consists of a French drain. The drain is installed under the floor and collects water that seeps into the home. The water is then sent to the sump pump to be discharged out of the house. We installed the TripleSafe sump pump which provides three levels of protection for the home in case of a pump not working or a power outage and peace of mind for the family. Lastly, we installed the SaniDry XP. The SaniDry is a dehumidifier that keeps dry air circulating throughout the space to dry it out. 

Eric and his wife get water in their basement 2-3 times a year during heavy rain. They want to eventually finish their basement but they need it to be dry to do that. There was a waterproofing system in place already but it was not doing it's job so they needed a different solution.

We installed the WaterGuard drain which goes below the floor to collect the water that comes into the basement and drain it to the sump pump. The TripleSafe sump pump provides three levels of protection and peace of mind even in cases of power outages or a pump malfunction. The BrightWall creates a clean looking space and also acts as a vapor barrier for the basement to protect against mold. 

Eric and his wife want to stay in this home for a while and raise their family in it. They had some water issues that needed to be addressed and now some sinking concrete. We waterproofed their basement earlier this year but now they are ready to move onto the sidewalk. This sidewalk had fallen about 5 inches and is becoming a trip hazard. We used PolyLevel to lift and level the sidewalk so that it was safe to walk on. This lightweight foam does not add pressure to soil that is already unstable so the concrete will remain lifted. It is also waterproof so the homeowners do not have to worry about it being washed away. The foam only takes about 15 minutes to cure so the sidewalk is usable in no time!
