Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

 The owners of this Benton Harbor, MI home were more than annoyed when they would have to spend hours cleaning up water in their basement, only to have more enter once the job was supposedly finished. Luckily Ayers was able to take a load off of their back and help them waterproof their basement, saving them hours of unproductive work.

To collect the water from the leaks in the walls, Ayers installed the WaterGuard drainage system. This specially designed piping is placed on top of the footing around the perimeter of the room, collecting water and draining it to the TripleSafe sump pump before it can make its way to the rest of the room. TripleSafe is a one-of-a-kind sump pump system with three sump pumps in one liner. One of these pumps is battery operated, so the pump can still operate in the event the power goes out, and the other pump is located higher in sump hole and works in case the first pump fails or can’t keep up. The sump pumps water out of the basement and reroutes it away from the home through a discharge line.

WaterGuard and TripleSafe work well in this Benton Harbor, MI basement to continually keep water out, giving the homeowners a dry basement and a break from their mopping sessions.

Our customer was experiencing standing water in their crawl space. After clearing the water out we installed our drainage matting and CleanSpace Liner. Our goal is to isolate the space from the earth using the liner and to direct any water coming into the Smart Sump sump pump using the drainage matting. The Smart Sump will pump out the water that drains into it and the CleanSpace Liner gives the space a clean more appealing look. The liner even makes it possible for your crawl space to be used as an additional storage space.

The homeowners had mold and moisture in there basement and crawl space areas. Controlling what goes into your crawl space begins with your crawl space door. Crawl space doors that are simply cut from plywood and loosely fitted allow pests, moisture and outside air to get into the space. To make matters worse, wood will crack and warp over time requiring repainting or even replacement. Our team saw this problem and knew the homeowners needed a solution.  

The EverLast crawl space door is made of plastic that is just about indestructible. There are several different door colors available so you can match your homes color scheme. EverLast doors will never warp, shrink, crack or require maintenance or painting. The air and water seal on the door ensures that your crawl space is protected from pests, moisture and outside air.

There was cracking in the concrete of Alice’s back patio. She was worried water was seeping into the cracks. So we installed PolyLevel, a waterproof and long-lasting system designed to fix concrete slabs that have sunk by using a polyurethane foam. This foam expands and has a high density in order to raise the concrete. The process is quite simple and is done by drilling small holes into the concrete and then inserting the foam into the holes.

There was a bowed wall in John's basement so our team installed CarbonArmor. CarbonArmor repairs damaged and bowing foundation walls by preventing inward movement and reducing the cracks in your walls. This system can easily be concealed for your basement to have a sleek, finished look.
