Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Mike had a water issue in his basement and wanted it fixed. The water was coming in where the wall met the floor so we installed the WaterGuard. The WaterGuard is a French drain system that is installed under the floor but above the foundation so that it won't clog in 'mud zone.' It collects the water that seeps into the basement through the walls and drains it to the sump pump. The WaterGuard installs quickly and is the ideal choice for waterproofing.

The homeowners in Wyoming, MI had water flooding into their basement. Their basement was finished and the water was damaging everything it touched. 

Our team decided to install the WaterGuard long lasting interior perimeter drainage system to combat this flooding water. The system sits on the top of the footing in the basement in order to prevent clogging from mud or other debris. The system works by capturing floor and wall seepage before it has time to damage the basement. Once the water is trapped in the drain it is immediately taken to the sump pump. Once it gets to the sump pump the water will be removed from the home ensuring that you have a dry basement!

Jen was moving but during the first open house, there were concerns about the foundation of the house. She wanted to fix the problem before the house was sold. We found that the foundation was settling in one corner of the home and we had the perfect solution. We installed Helical Piers to not only support the sinking home but also iift it back to the original position. The piers have have a quick, year-round installation so we can save your home in any season!

Near the end of last year, our call center received a call from Joshua, a local homeowner in Wyoming, MI. He told us that he had a feeling the cold moist air in his crawlspace might be affecting the temperature throughout his home. Joshua also admitted that he was pondering the idea of selling his current home in the future. He knew our crawlspace work would increase the value of his home. Joshua had been seeing Ayers Basement Systems commercials on TV and knew as the local crawlspace experts we could likely provide effective solutions for his home.

After assessing Joshua’s crawlspace needs, we prescribed our patented CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system to address the cold moist air concerns below his home. The CleanSpace encapsulation product is a 20mm thick plastic lining that completely seals off the crawl space from the grim elements it faces below. To supplement the CleanSpace, additionally we installed spray foam insulation and SilverGlo wall paneling. SilverGlo panels are constructed very differently than other types of insulation. These panels contain tiny graphite particles that permeate its foam insulation, this is what gives the panel that silver shine. These tiny particles serve a functional purpose besides just looks, they reflect heat and lower the material's conductivity for superior R-value insulation.  This will increase the energy efficiency of Joshua’s home and help lower his energy costs. With this dynamic system in place, it became evident that Joshua’s cranky crawlspace was no match for our level of expertise.

Mike has a partially finished basement that has water leaking where the floor and wall meet. He is looking to put the home up for sale so he needed the water issue fixed. We installed the WaterGuard French drain system to keep the water out of the home. The drain is under the floor but out of the "mud zone" where it could get clogged and collects the water that seeps into the area. The water that gets collected goes to the sump pump to be expelled outside of the home.
