Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

The walkway to this home in Grand Rapids, MI was sinking, proving to be not only an eyesore, but a tripping hazard. Luckily, there’s a quick and effective solution to fix this: PolyLevel. The PolyLevel systems works to raise concrete slabs by injecting high-density polymers into the slabs. This material is lightweight and dries quickly, so the sidewalk can be walked on in 15 minutes. PolyLevel dramatically improves the appearance of the sidewalk, eliminating a tripping hazard, too.

A customer from Grand Rapids noticed that his basement was overly affected by the temperature outside. So, he called us for our professional help. We gave him a free estimate and decided that the best thing for this basement would be CleanSpace technology. CleanSpace is a 20 mil thick plastic liner that fits to the crawl space to completely seal the home from the earth. Polyester cord reinforcement allows for a lot of durability, to make it last longer than the home will. This liner also contains an antimicrobial additive to prevent mold. Now, this homeowner won't have to worry about a basement that changes temperature all of the time again.

This GR homeowner has noticed water in the corner of the basement. The water seems to be coming in where the floor and walls meet so we installed the WaterGuard French Drain System. The system is installed under the floor but above the foundation to keep it out of the "mud zone" where the drain could clog. The drain system collects the water that seeps into the basement and sends it to the sump pump to be discharged out of the home. The system installs quickly and has a clean finished appearance, meaning you don't have to worry about having an unsightly drain around the basement.

This Grand Rapids homeowner has linear cracks on the basement walls. When there is heavy rain, water enters through the cracks. He does have a perimeter drain and sump pump, but he can not finish his basement until the walls are fixed and water is not entering the area. We installed the PowerBrace Wall Repair System to stabilize the walls and possibly straighten the wall. The system is made up of steel I-beams that are secured to the joists above the wall. This system doesn't involve any exterior excavation and installs quickly with minimal disruption to your basement space.

Ben was concerned with the water leaking into his basement after storms and wasn't sure how to fix it. Towels and shovels weren't cutting it, so he researched his options and called Ayers for help. We sent our specialists to his home, and they recommended installing the TripleSafe sump pump. TripleSafe aims to eliminate sump pump failure by providing two backup pumps, one of which is battery-powered in case of outages. Ben feels much more prepared for the next storm!
