Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Many people assume that a full crawl space encapsulation is their only option to keeping the area dry. While that’s probably the most fool-proof way to keep the crawlspace free of moisture and mold, it’s also possible to only install the CleanSpace system on the sections that need it most. As the second photo shows, our team installed the durable plastic liner and drainage matting only over the shelf areas to form a moisture barrier. A TripleSafe sump pump was also installed to eliminate groundwater in the space, as well as an energy efficient SaniDry dehumidifier to keep it dry. 

Following the storm, Brian realized water flooded into his basement. He knew the standing water couldn't stay, so he called Ayers for assistance. We sent our professionals to his house, who recommended WaterGuard, a drainage piping system designed to be placed on top of the footing rather than alongside it. This prevents drainage pipe clogging by catching water and avoiding soil. Brian loves having a dry basement!

Patrick was having trouble with water leaking in his basement and decided he needed to get this repeated issue he was having checked out. After calling Ayers out for inspection, our crew determined his basement could use our TripleSafe Sump Pump System along with our UltraSump 4 Battery Backup Sump Pump System.  

The TripleSafe consists of three sump pumps that fit in one liner. The primary pump does the main job of keeping water out. The second pump is there in case the other fails. Lastly, if there is a power outage, this is where the need for the UltraSump comes in. This is a great system to have in the event your sump pump stops working, as it gives additional protection against water damage if your primary sump pump fails. It has an automatic switch that turns on the battery-operated pump if water rises above the AC pump operating range. This system can remove up to 12,000 gallons of water with a fully charged battery. An alarm is even in place if the backup pump turns on. 

Patrick is now content with this new system in place, keeping his basement dry!

Rich noticed mold growing in his crawl space and worried it would cause structural damage. After researching his options, he called Ayers to learn about our waterproofing solutions. We sent a team of professionals to his house who recommended the installation of the CleanSpace vapor barrier. CleanSpace is constructed of antimicrobial-lined material and designed to be walked and crawled upon. Rich loves how clean his crawl space is!

A family in Bridgman, MI, struggled with moisture issues in their basement, preventing them from creating additional living space. Ayers removed the outdated sump pump and installed a WaterGuard® drainage system and TripleSafe™ sump pump to redirect water and eliminate the musty odor. Now with a dry, odor-free basement, the family can move forward with their plans for a functional, worry-free living area.
