For almost thirty years, Gary has been struggling with water intrusion in his 1800s basement in Custer, Michigan. During heavy rainfall, water seeps into the basement mainly from the opposite direction of the sump pump. The basement has a fieldstone foundation, and Gary is tired of constantly using a shop vac to get rid of the water. Despite trying to fix it with hydraulic cement, he realized that it was time to seek professional help. He found Ayers Basement Systems, confident that they were the right company for the job. Following our initial inspection, our team recommended shotcrete as the ideal solution for Gary.
Gary was ecstatic that he no longer had to deal with the tedious task of using a shop vac every time it rained. He was deeply impressed by the exceptional quality of work delivered by our team and the professionalism displayed by everyone at the company.
Before
Severe water damage is what finally compelled Gary to deal with the situation professionally.
During Shotcrete Installation
Steel rebar is secured to the walls prior to the shotcrete installation to provide extra support.
Shotcrete Applied
Shotcrete is a sprayable concrete that stabilizes basement walls and fills any holes that let in unwanted water or air. It's applied through a high-pressure hose. The extra air propelling the concrete out is what makes the shotcrete able to be applied to vertical and sloping surfaces.
