Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

This window well was a real problem area for this home. Water kept getting into the basement from around the window. The homeowner had put sand bags around the well to try to keep water from getting in it. Soaked towels on the floor inside captured anything that got into the house. It was time to figure this problem out once and for all. Our crew came out and added a WaterGuard french drain system inside the basement along the wall. WaterGuard sits along the footing of the home below the concrete. As water comes in at the walls, floor, or the joint where the two meet, the moisture is directed into the drain and is carried safely to the sump pump for removal from the home. To help drain the window well properly, a window well drain was placed in the bottom of the well. As moisture enters the drain, it passes through a pvc pipe into the basement and down a channel along the wall, where it then enters the WaterGuard system to be directed a safe distance away from the home by the sump system. The window well should no longer be a problem. The proper drainage will ensure that the homeowner no longer has puddles on his basement floor and his possessions won't be ruined by moisture.

The homeowners had water leaking into their basement. They had an existing sump pump, but it was not effectively removing water from the home causing water damage on their floors. 

Our professional team replaced the old sump pump with the TripleSafe sump pump.  The TripleSafe pump keeps your basement dry with triple protection! The first sump pump will remove water effectively handling up to 2,600 gallons of water per hour. The second pump is more powerful and has a second drainage line that is there for you if the first pump fails. Finally, the third pump is equipped with batteries so it is there for you if the power goes out! 

The homeowners in Grand Rapids, MI noticed that during the winter months their sump pump would become flooded with water. Their sump pump discharge line was freezing and trapping water in it. Once that ice thawed, it would all spill back into the home causing the sump pump to flood and getting water on their basement floor. 

To combat this problem, our professional team installed IceGuard anti freeze system. The IceGuard system attaches to the sump pump discharge line on the outside of the home. The system works by allowing water to escape from the discharge line even if it freezes or becomes blocked for any reason. Even if your discharge line is buried under a foot of ice and snow, water can still escape allowing your sump pump to keep your basement dry. Water will automatically run along its normal route once the pipe thaws, the homeowners do not need to do anything! 

The homeowners in Grand Rapids, MI had vertical cracks going down one of their walls in their basement. Vertical cracks on your basement walls are a sign of foundation and structural failure. Weakened foundation walls can have a significant impact on your home's stability and value, and it's essential to address these problems quickly and effectively.

Our professional team installed the GeoLock Wall Anchors system to fix this homes foundation. Wall anchors work by extending from your wall to the stable, hard packed soil beyond your home. They anchor into these stronger soils and brace the foundation wall, preventing further movement. Wall anchors are installed with minimal disruption to your lawn, and they won't damage the interior of your basement or take up usable space. These wall anchors are made of galvanized steel for a long-lasting solution that will prevent any further inward movement of your walls.

We got a call from a business in Grand Rapids that needed help leveling their concrete, because they didnt want to break the bank getting a new walkway. We drove to grand rapids and decided to install our PolyLevel technology, which is an advanced polymer injection foam that we blast into the concrete to re-level it and reinforce it stronger than ever before. PolyLevel worked to raise and level out the concrete slabs while dealing with the weak soils below that were no longer able to hold the weight of the home above. We drilled multiple small holes into the concrete slabs in order to inject them with a polymer material that expanded to lift and level out the concrete. Once injected, the system only needed about 15 minutes to fully cure and the slabs were then stabilized and lifted to their proper level, and stronger than ever before. Now, this homeowner will not have to worry about this ever again.
