Respected Wet Basement & Structural Repair Professionals in Barry County, MI

You may think that because you don't have a "traditional" stick-built home, we can't help you. But you're wrong. It doesn't matter how the home is structured; if there's a basement or crawl space involved, we're in.

Donna called because her double-wide mobile home sat on a basement that was half-finished, and on the finished side, the ceiling was collapsing and paneling was buckled, while the unfinished side had horizontal cracking. 

We installed Geo-Lock Wall Anchors to stabilize and straighten the bowed wall that was causing the problems on the finished side, which will solve that problem.

The unfinished side threw up signals that there was a water problem, and upon further investigation, our suspicions were confirmed. We installed a full perimeter of WaterGuard below-floor drain system, with Lawnscape outlets and IceGuard covers, as well as a new TripleSafe sump pump to proactively remove the water from the basement rather than waiting for it to evaporate or drain.

This Hastings, MI couple thought they were done finishing their basement— until they noticed water seeping in through the walls. With no sump pump in the basement, any water that leaked in the space had nowhere to go. Our system design specialist emphasized that not only was it necessary to install a drainage system, but a sump pump, too.

The crew installed DryTrak, an interior drainage system, along the perimeter of the room. The narrow opening at the top edge of the drain allows any water seepage from the wall to flow into the drainage channel. The next order of business was connecting the drainage system to the TripleSafe sump pump. The only one of its kind, TripleSafe contains 3 sumps in one liner, allowing water collected by the DryTrak system to be pumped out of the basement fast and effectively. Once the waterproofing was done in the basement, the last order of business was sprucing up the walls. The wood paneling in several areas of the basement was upgraded to EverLast wall panels.

Not only are these aesthetically pleasing, they’re made of washable cement board so they’re more durable than regular drywall. With a new drainage system, sump pump and wall panels, this basement is sure to be as dry as it is beautiful!

This homeowner called because water was entering where the wall meets the floor in a basement bedroom. The room was finished, but after removing the bottom section of the drywall, we found two specific areas where water was leaking in. 

To solve this problem, we first installed the WaterGuard system to two of the walls in the bedroom where the water was entering. This system involved taking out a portion of the flooring to install specially designed pipes on top of the footing. The pipes were placed slightly away from the wall to make sure any water leaks will have room to filter into the pipe and exit into the sump pump. The drilled portion of the flooring was then restored with concrete fill. A WaterGuard inspection port was also installed to make sure we have easy access to the system if needed.

Next we installed cross tile, which involved drilling out a portion of the floor to place a pipe that will direct water from the WaterGuard system directly to the sump pump. After the pipe was placed, we filled the trench with gravel that will allow the water to move easily toward the sump. After the pipe and gravel were installed, concrete was poured to fill the drilled trench. 

The final installation for this project was the SuperSump system. This sump pump is both extremely efficient and cost effective. Because this home experienced occasional water issues and not any severe floods, this pump is a perfect option. A Zoeller pump is placed in a sturdy liner that accepts water from the WaterGuard and cross tile systems and can pump 2,220 gallons of water per hour!

This Delton, MI crawl space was dealing with structural issues that the homeowner wanted to address ASAP. The floors above the crawl space were sagging due to ineffective and deteriorating floor joists that were unable to hold the weight of the home above. 

For this job, we installed the SmartJack system that is used to stabilize the ceiling of the crawl space. We first installed new beams in the crawl space to replace the old deteriorating ones. Next we cut out a small cube of soil that we filled with concrete and a specifically designed structural footing was leveled on top. A steel column was then sized and cut to fit the crawl space height and was attached to the girder above. The system was then tightened, which stabilized and lifted the floors back to its original position. 

Joyce C. called because the foundation in her lake home was sinking about 7 inches. To lift the foundation walls back to their original position we installed steel push piers.

To install this system, we first removed soil from the areas we wanted to install the piers. A steel bracket was then placed underneath the foundation and a pier was pushed through the bracket into stable soil. Next the weight of the home was transferred through the pier to the stable soil and the system was lifted to raise the foundation. Lastly, the soil surrounding the home was replaced and the home is stable from now on!

Janean L. contacted Ayers to find a solution for her settling foundation. The foundation in the crawl space was wood, and the girders and floor joists in the space were no longer able to hold the home above.

To stabilize the foundation, we installed the SmartJack system, which helps to support the girders and floor joists in the home. To complete this installation we first excavated several cubes of soil and filled them with crushed stone. Next structural footing was placed in the stone to hold the steel columns. The galvanized steel columns were then fitted to the height of the crawl space and then connected to the girders above. The system was then tightened to immediately lift the foundation.

SmartJacks can hold more 60,000 lbs and works well even with weak soul. The steel columns are coated in zinc to prevent mold and deterioration. 

This homeowner needed our help with her leaky, wet basement. They originally thought the water was coming in from the furnace, although it was actually entering the home through a crack in the basement wall, behind the furnace.  The reoccurring leak left the home with a damp, mildew-like smell and these homeowners were looking for an effective way to waterproof their space.

To collect and drain water coming in through the crack, we installed the WaterGuard system. We started the installation by taking out portions of the floor around the interior perimeter of the basement. The trench was then filled with gravel and a pipe was placed on top of the footing to allow water to drain into the system and prevent it from clogging with dirt. The pipe was also placed away from the wall to make sure water coming in through the wall has room to enter the pipe and drain into the sump pump. 

The water from the WaterGuard system needed a place to exit in order to be pumped outside of the home, so we installed the effective SuperSump sump pump system. This system has a sturdy liner that accepts water from the ground and from the WaterGuard system. An airtight lid is included to prevent water in the sump from evaporating into the basement air and a pump stand to make sure the system does not clog with dirt or other debris.

To ensure water from the home has an efficient way to exit, we installed the IceGuard system and a LawnScape outlet. IceGuard was installed on the home’s discharge line to help water move through the pipes and exit the home even if they are frozen. Specially designed holes in the system automatically lead water out of the pipes, which prevents the water from reentering the home and causing a flood. The LawnScape outlet was attached to the end of the discharge line away from the property to lead water away from the home and prevent it from coming back.

After we got the leaks in the basement under control, we needed a way to eliminate moisture in the air. To do this we installed the SaniDry XP dehumidifier, which wrings the air dry and uses a powerful blower to circulate dry air through the basement. 

This block wall crawl space allowed water to leak in, causing problems for the homeowner. There were two sump pumps and a dehumidifier in the crawl space, but water was still an issue. To update this space and eliminate water, we installed CleanSpace, drainage matting, a SmartSump, and the IceGuard system. 

For the first part of this project, we installed drainage matting on the floor of the crawl space. This matting has a dimpled surface that helps water on the floor easily make its way to the sump pump. The matting was sized and cut for the crawl space and was put in place before the CleanSpace liner was installed.

Next, we installed the CleanSpace liner that is used to encapsulate the crawl space with its waterproof and vapor-proof material. The liner was sized to fit the dimensions of the space and was installed on the floors and walls. The system was securely attached to the walls, keeping it in place, and the material is extremely durable to protect it from any type of damage. This liner was used to keep water or moisture from coming in through the ground or block walls.

To update the ineffective sump pumps in the space, we installed one powerful SmartSump sump pump. A SmartSump is designed for crawl spaces and provides the homeowner with full protection from water. The system has a sturdy liner that collects water and a cast-iron Zoeller pump to effectively pump water out of the space. 

To combat potential frozen pipes, we installed the IceGuard system. We installed this on the home’s discharge line to help water from the sump pump immediately exit the home through specially designed holes, even if the pipe is frozen. This will prevent the water from re-entering the home and causing a flood or large leak. 

Ryan J. now has a dry crawl space that is protected from any type of water leakage.

Kayla from Middleville, MI used to get water in her basement when it would rain or when the snow would start to thaw. Then, she called us.

We first installed our patented WaterGuard French drain system. WaterGuard rests below the floor and above the foundation footing, collecting water and redirecting it to the sump pump. WaterGuard is covered with a new layer of cement after it is completely installed, disguising the drain altogether. 

Next, we installed the SuperSump premier sump pump system. The SuperSump is perfect for keeping a basement completely dry even in times of heavy water intrusion. It includes a powerful Zoeller ⅓ horsepower cast-iron sump pump, capable of pumping 2,220 gallons of water per hour at an 8-foot head out of your basement. 

Kayla, you're good to go!

Wayne W. of Middleville, MI had a crawl space that was always dusty and dirty, and he wanted a fix. 

Our solution was to install our patented CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system. CleanSpace completely seals off crawl spaces from the surrounding elements, leaving the space clean and dry. No water, cold air, dirt, or moisture has a chance of entering the crawl space. Plus, as an added bonus, CleanSpace is made with anti-microbial components that prevent against any type of mold growth.

Wayne can now enjoy a clean crawl space that can be used for storage. 

Rob and Carol M. called because they needed a solution for their bowed foundation wall. Horizontal and stair-step cracks were found on the basement wall, which are both sure signs of wall failure that needed to be addressed before the problem worsened.

To stabilize the wall and potentially pull it back to its original position, we installed the CarbonArmor system. The fiber-reinforced polymers that make up the straps in this system are 10 times stronger than steel to ensure this home was properly stabilized. We first coated sections of the wall with a strong apoxy resin at the location of each CarbonArmor strap. We then adhered the strap to the resin on the wall and secured it with steel brackets to permanently hold the wall in place. 

This homeowner was trying to sell his home but the settled, cracked corner of his garage was turning off buyers. The former tenants had a hot tub in the corner of the garage that caused the slab to sink and the block walls to crack.

In order to stabilize the settled foundation slab we used helical piers. For this installation we excavated the soil just outside of the garage to place the piers. The piers were installed at the base of the slab and securely fastened with steel brackets. The piers were then screwed down into the soil, deep enough to reach stable soil that would be able to hold the weight of the slab and anything on top of it. After the system was tightened into place, the slab was completely stabilized and the weight was transferred directly to the pier to sufficiently hold the garage floor and prevent it from sinking again.   

This homeowner called because he was looking for a solution that would fix his bowing foundation wall that also had multiple stair-step cracks that were continuing to worsen over time. The homeowner had another company come out to fix the issue, although the wall continued to bow and crack.

To provide this homeowner with a system that would permanently stabilize his failing wall, we installed the Geo-Lock wall anchor system. We began by removing the soil outside of the property, directly outside of the foundation wall. We then placed steel earth anchors into the ground, making sure to embed them in stable soil that would be able to hold the weight of the wall. Next the earth anchors were attached to the foundation wall with interior earth anchors and then secured with strong steel rods. We tightened the system into place and the wall was immediately held in place to prevent it from shifting. The anchors can also be tightened over time to potentially pull the wall back to its original position.

Lisa B. called because she was looking for solution for her wet crawl space. The space had a dirt floor base that sloped to a V and was always wet, even though water was constantly being pumped out through the sump pump in the space.

The first thing we installed was a SmartSump sump pump to replace the ineffective sump pump that was previously located in the space. SmartSump is an effective sump pump system that was designed specifically for wet crawl space needs. This system includes a sturdy liner, airtight lid and a pump alarm.

Next, we installed drainage matting directly on top of the dirt floor. The matting has a dimpled surface that helps water underneath a liner easily flow into the sump pump. The CleanSpace liner was installed on top of the drainage matting and on the walls of the space and is both a waterproof and vapor proof plastic liner used to seal the crawl space off from unawnted water and moisture.

In order to combat humidity in the crawl space, we installed the SaniDry dehumidification system. This dehumidifier wrings the crawl space air dry and distributes filtered, dry air throughout the space. 

To ensure collected water is able to easily exit the sump pump, we installed the IceGuard system and a LawnScape outlet. IceGuard is installed on the home’s discharge lines and has specialized holes that discharge water outside of the home even if the lines become frozen in the winter. IceGuard is installed at the end of the discharge lines and is used to direct water out away from the home. 

Jennifer B. had a Michigan basement with block walls that were falling apart. The area was also extremely damp and had a musty smell due to moisture being able to enter through the walls.

To prevent moisture from being able to enter the home, we installed the CleanSpace wall system. This wall liner is vapor proof to stop water vapor from entering through the walls and has an antimicrobial additive that prevents mold growth. This was both an economical solution to keep moisture out and it spruced up the look of the basement walls as well.

To further remove humidity from the space we installed a SaniDry CX dehumidifier. This effective dehumidification system works hard to remove moisture from the air and keeps the space dry by distributing dry, filtered air throughout the entire basement with its powerful blower.

Beth K. of Middleville, MI had a musty odor coming from her basement. That said, she did not have any standing water or dampness anywhere. Thus, she faces a humidity problem.

And we had a solution: the SaniDry XP dehumidifier. The SaniDry XP can collect up to 109 liters of water per day, keeping your basement as dry as ever. On top of that, the SaniDry XP is compact enough that it can be placed in a closet or against the wall to avoid taking up living space.

A cracked, leaky basement wall can put a real downer on a home. Lindsey H. from Middleville, MI had a cracked wall that allowed for water to enter into the basement and needed a solution. So, she called us.

We used our patented FlexiSpan polyurethane sealant. FlexiSpan is, like it sounds, very flexible, and will move with the nautral shift of the basement wall. This ensures a total waterproof seal for the long haul. 

Lindsey, you can now rest easy with this product. 

Rick S. from Middleville, MI dealt with a sunken front porch before he reached out to us. The loose soil underneath the porch had caused a wash out, leading to a falling slab. 

Our solution? PolyLevel foam injection. PolyLevel is a lightweight foam that raises slabs for the long-term. We start by drilling penny-sized holes in the slab and inject the foam through them. When the PolyLevel is in place, we reseal the holes, making the project very non-invasive. 

Woo-hoo! Go PolyLevel!

The garage in this Delton, MI summer home was uneven due to settlement issues. The homeowner wanted the issue resolved before the cement slabs started to crack and we knew just what to do.

The PolyLevel system was installed to lift the garage floor and deal with the weak soils below that originally caused the settlement. Lightweight, high-density polymers were injected into the slab through drilled holes in the concrete. After the holes were filled, the polymers began to expand and lifted the garage floor back to its original position. The 15-minute cure time and minimal disruption to home makes this an extremely efficient solution!

These customers had bought a bank-owned property that was vacant for about a year. They were in the process of remodeling the area and although there was no water present in the basement, there was still a bad, musty smell.

The reason the basement had was damp and had a musty smell was because of the high humidity levels in the space. We decided to install a SaniDry XP dehumidifier to fix the issue. This dehumidification system wringed the basement air dry, filtered the air to remove unwanted particles and then distributed dry air throughout the entire basement with its powerful blower.

Mark G. of Watervliet, MI has had three different floor drains installed over the years to try and rid his basement of the water that always leaks in after a rainfall -- and none of them have done their job. The water would come into the basement form the corners and puddle, creating a musty, uncomfortable environment. So, Mark gave us a call.

To remedy this situation, we installed our patented WaterGuard French drain system. WaterGuard rests below the basement floor and above the foundation footing -- in a perfect position to catch all the water that leaks into the basement form corners and walls. Once this water is collected, it is redirected to the sump pump to be pumped up and out of the basement. 

David and Stephanie D. contacted us because their home had a void underneath the foundation slab that caused the floor to sink and become unleveled.

To lift the slab and fill the void underneath, we installed the effective PolyLevel system. We started by drilling multiple small holes into the slab, which were then injected with lightweight, high-density polymers. These polymers expanded to fill the void and lift the slab back to its proper level. The installation caused little disruption to the home and had a fast cure time of about 15 minutes.

Caitlyn and Nick B. contacted us because they wanted to fix their bowing basement wall before the issue worsened. Thankfully, our team of experts knew just what to do.

We used the PowerBrace system to completely stabilize the wall and potentially shift it back to its proper position. The system used a joist reinforcement method to transfer the weight of the wall evenly across the basement ceiling, which prevented unintended damage to other areas in the home. We installed steel I-Beams at the base of the wall and connected them to the joists above the wall. The system was secured in place with steel brackets and once tightened into place, the wall would no longer continue to bow. We also provided the homeowners with a kit that can be used to tighten the beams over time to potentially push the wall back to its original position.

This home was built in the 1940's and the customer believed that the foundation was sinking. There were cracks on the outside and inside walls and the doors and windows were sticking. These are all signs that the foundation is in fact sinking. A sinking foundation is not something to wait and fix. It makes it almost impossible to resell your home, the foundation holds up your entire house and if it were to fall it could be dangerous. 

We installed our SmartJack crawl space stabilizers to fix this foundation. SmartJacks are made of steel and have been tested to support loads of more than 60,000 pounds. The SmartJacks work so that after they are installed the weight of the home is transferred to the jacks.

David was having problems with his foundation and thought it may be sinking. After evaluating his issue, we found his floors were sagging. His sagging floors were caused by weakened floor joists. Other elements that can cause sagging floors are columns, block or brick, are spaced too far apart or beginning to settle.

Common resolutions to sagging floors are to install concrete columns. Concrete seems strong but it is time-consuming to wait for the concrete to cure and the columns can later settle into the soil again. If the columns begin to settle, you would, unfortunately, have the same issue again. We installed our SmartJack stabilizing system. SmartJacks are steel support systems we use to stabilize and level the floor joists. They are capable of holding more than 60,000 pounds and address weak foundation soils so they will not settle in the future. SmartJacks provide the best opportunity to lift your floors and walls back to their original position.

Joyce S. had water coming through her basement through a crack in poured concrete walls. We used FlexiSpan to fill the cracks in the walls. FlexiSpan seals the crack and provides a built-in secondary repair strategy in case the first one fails.It is made of a flexible material so that as the concrete walls move over time the crack stays sealed.

Our customer called with a basement that never had full on leaks or standing water, but was constantly damp. It was easy to ignore until he realized that the dampness in the basement was actually starting to ruin the hardwood floors on the first floor of the home.

We installed a full perimeter of our WaterGuard below-floor drain system to take care of the water issues. Then, to control the mildew that he just couldn't keep up with from the pervasive humidity, we covered the walls in CleanSpace vapor barrier and installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to control the ambient moisture.

Now the basement - and the home - are safe and dry.

Dale B. called us because he had a huge crack, almost 4 feet long, in his basement wall below the egress window. The walls are made of poured concrete and the home was built in 2006. There was a puddle where the water leaked in and it needed to get fixed. 

Since there was only 1 crack that was allowing water to come in, we were able to use our FlexiSpan system to seal the crack in the concrete wall. FlexiSpan is designed to move with the wall unlike other solutions. FlexiSpan is a permanent solution and is a neutral color that will blend in with your concrete wall or you can choose to use a finiishing product over it. 

This customer had two stone wall and sand base crawl spaces that the homeowner wanted us to look at. There was no standing water, mold or wood rot at the time, but we wanted to seal of the space before these issues occurred.

We started by installing the CleanSpace plastic liner, which is a waterproof and vapor proof liner that keeps all moisture out of the space. Next, we installed FrothPak insulation to the crawlspace walls to seal and insulate the area. This insulation is made of inorganic materials and doesn’t absorb ambient moisture, which prevents rot and mold growth. Lastly, we installed the SaniDry dehumidification system to wring the damp air dry and circulate dry, filtered air throughout the space.

This home was built around the 1940's and was showing some major signs of age and the soil around the foundation had settled. Some of the block foundation walls had actually fallen and needed to be completely replaced. The homeowner also noticed that the doors and windows in the home were sticking which is a sign of the foundation settling. The floor on the first level needed to be lifted back up to its original position. There were also some very old windows that needed to be replaced as they were allowing moisture and unwanted outside elements into the basement. 

This home needed some of its foundation and other problems taken care of and they definitely called the right people for the job. We installed SmartJacks to lift the foundation back it's original position. We also replaced the block wall that had fallen and sprayed foam insulation where the ceiling and walls meet to make sure this basement is completely sealed off. Lastly, we were able to replace all three of the windows in the basement with our Everlast Slider windows.

A homeowner in Delton Michigan was having problems with his foundation and he wanted professional help, so he gave us a call.  We drove to his property and installed SamrtJacks in his basement. The SmartJack is a support system used to stabilize and level the floor joists in a crawl space. This system can support up to 60,000 pounds. The SmartJack system is placed on strong concrete fillings that have replaced the soil in that small location underneath the SmartJack. Now, this homeowner has a very strong foundation so he won't have to worry any longer.

Sven's garage corners are settling and sinking. He wants to convert the garage into a living room and then add a second story but the outside corners are cracked and broken. We installed Helical piers to stabilize the failing foundation. The piers have easy, year-round installation so you never have to worry about pushing off the work due to the season. The piers can also help lift the foundation back to the original position!

Lynda was experiencing water intrusion and high humidity in her basement. In addition to installing the WaterGuard System to drain liquid water from the basement, our team installed the SaniDry XP Basement Dehumidifier. This dehumidifier never needs to be emptied because the water drains automatically. In addition, it is ten times more powerful than typical dehumidifiers. Lynda’s conditions in her basement will greatly improve by removing water vapor because it will prevent the growth of mold and decrease the humidity.

Tim and Carol noticed a musty smell wafting through their house. It was coming from heavy moisture in their crawl space. Our team installed CleanSpace, a plastic sheet material used as a vapor barrier to restrict all moisture, outside air, and pests from entering your crawl space. In addition, we installed the SaniDry XP Basement Dehumidifier. This dehumidifier never needs to be emptied because the water drains automatically and it is ten times more powerful than typical dehumidifiers.

Gary purchased his home about a year ago and everything was great. He recently noticed a crack 3/4 the length of the basement wall and it was bowing inward. We installed the CarbonAmor Wall Reinforcing System to stabilize the wall. This system includes flexible carbon fiber fabric straps that are up to 10 times stronger in tension than steel. These straps are bonded to the wall using a high strength epoxy resin. This system requires no exterior excavation, installs quickly, and won't impact future basement finishing.

Sandra had unwanted animals entering her crawl space so she called our team to discuss encapsulation options. We installed CleanSpace, a plastic sheet material used as a vapor barrier. It restricts all moisture, outside air, and pests from entering your crawl space. Not only does this system create an energy-efficient crawl space, but it also gives your crawl space a clean finish. This material will be applied to your floors and walls to create a sleek look and an uninterrupted barrier. Sandra will no longer have to worry about what is entering her crawl space and can finally have peace of mind.

Sandra called our team because she wanted her crawl space completely encapsulated. In addition to installing other systems, our team insulated her rim joists. Small cracks and seams can exist around rim joists, but after insulating them all of those cracks are sealed off. Now flow is restricted keeping vapor and moisture out. 

Scott's basement has been leaking when it rains, so he called our team and asked us to waterproof his basement. We installed WaterGuard, TripleSafe and IceGuard. These three items will each play a large role in keeping Scott’s basement dry. The WaterGuard system will catch any leakage from higher walls and floors. TripleSafe is a sump pump system that is battery powered so Scott won't need to worry about his basement flooding during power outages. Lastly, the IceGuard Sump Pump Discharge Line System allows water to leave even when it is frozen. Installing these three pieces will keep Scott's basement dry no matter what weather his house encounters.

It prevents flooding by reducing moisture in the crawl space and by removing any water quickly. The IceGuard Sump Pump Discharge Line System allows water to leave even when the discharge line is frozen. Therefore, this system prevents flooding even in freezing temperatures or when the snow is piled up high. Lastly, this system is totally automatic so Joan and Richard won’t have to worry about when they should turn it on or off. 

A stoop in front of Pat's house was pulling away and pulling the foundation wall with it. So our team was called and we installed PolyLevel in order to stabilize the concrete steps in front of Pat's house. PolyLevel is a waterproof and long-lasting system designed to fix concrete slabs that have sunk. It uses a polyurethane foam that expands and has a high density in order to lift the concrete slabs back to their original level. The process is quite simple and is done by drilling small holes into the concrete and then inserting the foam into the holes.

Terry's basement had water leaking into it after it rained, so he called our team for help. We installed WaterGuard, TripleSafe and IceGuard in order to waterproof his basement. Each of these three items play a large role in keeping basements dry. The WaterGuard system catches any water leakage from higher walls and floors. TripleSafe is a sump pump system that is battery powered to prevent flooding even during power outages. Lastly, the IceGuard Sump Pump Discharge Line System allows water to leave even when it is frozen.

Nicholas's basement was flooding.  The water was coming in through the floor and so he called our team to prevent future water intrusion. We installed WaterGuard, a basement drainage system that unlike many other drains, is installed inside your basement in order to avoid it being clogged. This drainage system will catch any leakage from higher walls or floors before it reaches your basement floor. Other perks are that this system is almost invisible after it is set up and has a quicker and easier installation process than outdoor drains.

Sandra wasn't experiencing any water intrusion in her crawl spaces, but she did want them encapsulated in order to keep out unwanted critters. So she called our team and we installed CleanSpace. CleanSpace is a plastic sheet material used as a vapor barrier to restrict all moisture, outside air, and pests from entering your crawl space. Not only does this system create an energy-efficient crawl space, but it also gives your crawl space a clean finish. This material will be applied to your floors and walls to create a sleek look and an uninterrupted barrier.

A customer needed help sealing off her entire crawl space so she called our team and we insulated her rim joists. Small cracks and seams can exist around rim joists, but after insulating them all of those cracks are sealed off. Now airflow is restricted keeping outside air out and inside air in. Therefore, her crawl space will be properly insulated which will reduce her heating and cooling bills.

A customer had water leaking into her crawl space so she called our team for waterproofing help. We installed the SmartSump Crawl Space Sump Pump which was perfectly designed for crawl spaces. It prevents flooding by reducing moisture in the crawl space and by removing any water quickly. The drain connected to the pump takes the water out of your crawl space while not allowing any damp air to enter.

Hal and Ruth had water entering their home and so they called our team for waterproofing options. We installed WaterGuard, a basement drainage system that unlike many other drains, is installed inside your basement in order to avoid it being clogged. This drainage system will catch any leakage from higher walls or floors before it reaches your basement floor. Other perks are that this system is almost invisible after it is set up and has a quicker and easier installation process than outdoor drains. 

After heavy rain, Bill and Bonnie would have heavy water intrusion enter their partially finished basement. So they called our team to discuss waterproofing solutions. In order to avoid these issues in the future, our team installed the WaterGuard system along with TripleSafe. WaterGuard is an indoor drainage system that protects your basement from water by catching any water leakage from higher walls or floors before it reaches your basement floor. TripleSafe is a Sump Pump system that’s main goal is to keep your basement dry. It is powered by batteries which even prevents flooding during power outages.

A customer had water entering his basement after heavy rains so he called our team. We installed IceGuard, along with a few other systems in order to prevent any further water intrusion. The IceGuard Sump Pump Discharge Line System allows water to leave even when the discharge line is frozen. Therefore, this system prevents flooding even in freezing temperatures or when the snow is piled up high.

A customer had heavy humidity in his basement so he called our team for help. We installed the SaniDry XP Basement Dehumidifier. The biggest perk of this humidifier is that it never needs to be emptied because the water drains automatically. In addition, it is ten times more powerful than typical dehumidifiers. This dehumidifier will greatly improve your conditions in your basement by removing water vapor which will prevent the growth of mold.

This couple just recently purchased their home and the basement is so humid. There is no standing water just humid and moldy, they are having to change the dehumidifier often. We installed the CleanSpace Wall System which keeps water vapor from passing through your foundation walls. It also has an anti-microbial protection called UltraFresh built right in so no mold or mildew will grow on the CleanSpace! We also installed the SaniDry XP for them. The SaniDry can easily be stored in a corner or closet so it doesn't interfere with a finished basement. The dehumidifier keeps dry air circulating throughout the space which dries out your basement. The collected water can be drained into a sump pump pit, a section of your perimeter drain, or away via a condensation pump. 

Mike wants a fix for an area on the driveway where it meets the garage and had settled a little. We used PolyLevel which is an inject able foam to raise the concrete slab back to the original position. PolyLevel is waterproof and stable so it will not wash away or react with soils. The foam cures in about 15 minutes so you can be back in the garage and on the driveway in no time!

Tim and his wife were having some water into the basement from the seam where the wall and floor meet. They have a partially finished basement, no standing water but enough coming in to where the grand kids can not go downstairs to play anymore. We had the perfect solution to their problem and started by installing the WaterGuard system which is made up of a French drain that is under the floor to collect the water that seeps into the basement. The water that is collected in the drain will be sent to the TripleSafe Sump Pump that we installed for them. The TripleSafe provides three levels of protection to the basement in cases of pump malfunction or a power outage. We then installed the SaniDry XP which is a dehumidifier that constantly blows dry air through the area and is the ideal choice because it can easily be stored in a corner or closet so it doesn't interfere with a finished basement. Lastly, we installed the IceGuard Discharge Line System. Sump pump discharge lines are fed outside the home, meaning it's possible they could freeze during the cold winter months. A backed up discharge line means your sump pump won't work properly in the event of water in your basement, which will make the flooding much worse. The IceGuard fits over the top of your discharge line to provide water with a secondary escape route. If the discharge line is frozen water can escape through slotted openings in the drain pipe to keep water out and away from your home.

Lindsey and her husband have a new baby and are concerned about the basement in their home for safety. They have cracks in the walls and have some water coming into the basement from the floor as well as the walls. We first installed the CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System to stabilize the cracking walls. The system is made up of flexible carbon fiber fabric straps that are up to 10 times stronger in tension than steel. The carbon straps are attached to the walls using a very strong resin. It also does not require no exterior excavation, installs quickly, and won't impact future basement finishing. To help with their water issues we installed the WaterGuard system. This system is installed under the floor but above the foundation so it will not clog. The drain collects the water and sends it to the sump pump to be expelled outside their home. 

Bruce has some unlevel concrete in driveway. He called for a solution to the unevenness. We used PolyLevel to raise up the fallen slabs. PolyLevel is a strong but light weight foam which is waterproof and stable so it won't wash away or react with soils. It cures in about 15 minutes so the homeowner can be on it and park there in a short period of time. We also used NexusPro Crack Repair to seal with cracks that formed from the falling of the driveway slabs. NexusPro prevents water and debris from degrading the slab from below. It is a silicone-based filler and specifically designed to withstand harsh weather. Like PolyLevel, its drying time is quick and it dries in about an hour.

These Hastings homeowners had some cracks inside and out side of the home. There was a floor joist where the cracks were starting and it was starting to bow. There is no moisture because they caught the cracking at the beginning but they are hearing cracking noises and are worried it will get worse. We installed Push Piers to stabilize and lift the home to the original position. These piers are installed next to the footings and attached with a heavy duty steel bracket and are the best option when soil conditions are unknown to permanently stabilize the home.

Patrick has been in his home for 14 years and is just now experiencing water intrusion. He just noticed the issue so he has been getting rid of water with a shop vac that is pulling about 20 gallons a day. The basement is finished but he pulled drywall out to get the water and needs a fix asap so they can utilize the area again. We installed the WaterGuard system which is made up of a French drain. The drain is installed under the floor but above the foundation as to keep it out of the "mud zone" where the drain could clog and water would back up. The system collects water that seeps into the basement and will send it to the sump pump to be expelled outside of the home, keeping the home dry.

The mud and water below their crawl space concerned Mark and Carie A. They worried that rot would eventually develop and cause further damage. Upon a thorough inspection of the home, our system design specialist found significant foundation settlement as a result of saturated and shifting soil. He recommended that the couple first stabilize their foundation walls before attempting any waterproofing of the crawl space. We installed a set of piers to stabilize the foundation by drilling down into stable soil. The piers are anchored at a depth that can withstand the weigh of the home. We then applied an application of Shotcrete to create a new foundation wall without pouring new concrete but through an innovative process where liquid concrete is sprayed on top of a crumbling wall using a hydraulic sprayer.

Annette has cracks in her basement that are letting water seep in. She wants to be able to rent the house out in the future so to prevent any further intrusions our team came out and installed a waterproofing system. The system comprised of the WaterGuard Drainage System, the SuperSump Plus sump pump, and IceGuard. 

The WaterGuard drain is designed to capture water seepage through the walls and any leaks along where the floor and the wall meet. It’s large in diameter and is easy to get into making clogging extremely unlikely. On top of that, it is faster, easier, and less expensive than outdoor drains and will be nearly invisible once the concrete is replaced and dried. The SuperSump Sump Pump has a unique lid design so that water can drain down but the damp air will not sneak back up into your space. When there is an indication of flooding an alarm will sound to alert you so you have plenty of time to take action and additionally you can also have a battery-powered backup installed so your pump will work in power outages. The IceGuard System makes sure water is expelled from the house in freezing temperatures like the ones we have in Michigan winters. This ensures homeowners do not have to worry about frozen water blocking the pipes and drainage system. 

Annette will now have a dry basement with no water intrusions. She can rent the house reliably knowing that there won’t be any issues in the basement. 

Janice had a small trickle of water dripping into her home. It didn’t bother her very much until storms rolled through and the trickle turned into a stream. With water coming in she also noticed mold starting to grow. Mold is a health hazard for all people in the home and not to mention, it starts to smell. To get rid of the water which will stop the growth of the mold, our team installed WaterGuard, TripleSafe, and IceGuard. 

The WaterGuard drain is designed to capture water seepage through the walls and any leaks along where the floor and the wall meet. It’s large in diameter and is easy to get into making clogging extremely unlikely. On top of that, it is faster, easier, and less expensive than outdoor drains and will be nearly invisible once the concrete is replaced and dried. The TripleSafe sump pump system offers three different levels of support when it comes to pumping water out of your basement. There is one pump for everyday normal levels of water, one, more powerful, pump for heavier volumes of water, and one battery-operated pump that will keep you protected in power outages. The IceGuard System makes sure water is expelled from the house in freezing temperatures like the ones we have in Michigan winters. This ensures homeowners do not have to worry about frozen water blocking the pipes and drainage system. 

 Now Janice doesn’t have to worry about her or her family’s health and can live in her home stress-free. 

This homeowner in Woodland MI has a dirt crawl space that did not have the best support so the floors of the first floor were sagging. We installed SmartJacks to stabilize the floors and lift them back up to a level position. SmartJacks can easily be adjusted any time, if the home needs it, to ensure that you have a permanent solution to the problems!

Doug is waiting to finish his basement and wants to add an egress window in the area that is not finished. An egress window is not only required for a finished basement because it provides a safe exit in case of emergencies but it also allows more natural light to enter the space. The light makes the room look more welcoming, cleaner, and larger!

Lynda is trying to keep up the maintenance of her home and she recently found several areas that had sunken concrete. She wanted all the cracks to be filled and the concrete to be lifted so we used PolyLevel and NexusPro. PolyLevel is an injectable foam that is used to lift the concrete back to the original level. It is waterproof and stable so it won't wash away or react with the soils below. NexusPro seals the cracks and joints of the concrete to keep things from getting under neath and degrading the slab from below. The sealant is made to withstand harsh weather so it will remain intact and won't bubble or dry out. The best part is that both the PolyLevel and NexusPro have a shorter drying time than other solutions!

Bill had some sunken concrete around his pool and he was nervous about it becoming a trip/fall hazard. We used an injectable foam, PolyLevel, to lift the concrete back up and level the pool deck. It is waterproof so the pool water or rain won't wash the foam away. The installation is also quick and easy with a curing time of about 15 minutes so the process won't be inconvenient for the homeowners!

Joe and Laura lived in a 1930's farm house that had some leaks coming in from under the stone. They were out of ideas on how to keep the water out of the home. They have a sump pump installed but are worried it failed since they were still getting water. We installed the WaterGuard system to collect the water that seeps in and send it off to the sump pump to be expelled outside the home. It is installed under the floor so you do not have an unsightly drain in your space and it installs quickly! 

Ms. Corner is a proud new owner of a beautiful home built in the early 20th century. Wanting to make the most of her new purchase, her sloping floors were the first issue she decided to get fixed. By contacting Ayers she was able to receive a full assessment by our foreman Evan. After the assessment, Evan prescribed a foundation wall treatment system that would correct the issue and prevent new ones from arising.

The system used by Evan and his team on Ms. Corner's home is called a SmartJack system. SmartJacks are steel posts placed along the affected basement walls and anchored into the basement floor with concrete blocks. The tops of the SmartJacks are fixed with load-bearing joints that attach to the rim joist. This system creates a new source of support and gentle force that pushes the steeled walls back into place.

Bonnie lives with little help and her condition makes housework taxing. When she notice moisture in her home her son recommended Ayers Basements. After calling, our foreman Bruce met with Bonnie and listened to her concerns. After he inspected the home and gave her a comprehensive plan for treating her home.

Bruce prescribed a set of SmartJack piers and covered the area in CleanSpace. SmartJacks are steel beams placed along the home's supportive rim joist. The bottoms are secured into the foundational floor with poured concrete and fixed at the top with loadbearing joints. The entire system is adjusted till constant force is being applied, creating a permanent solution to the home's settlement problems.

The area was fitted with an antimicrobial CleanSpace lining. The lining acts as a barrier between any potential moisture and the home's supportive structures. This prevents any mold spores from forming and makes it easy to identify any potential new leaks.

Often times the change in weather sets off issues with a home that would otherwise not be an immediate problem. The issue that Holly and Matt ran into with their home was the fact that their sump pumps draining system was not equipped for the winter at all. After contacting Ayers, our foreman Bruce was able to find the products that would give the home the exact tools it needed to keep water out year-round.

Bruce fitted the drainage system with a modification known as IceGurad. IceGuard is placed on the piping that leads to the sump pump, creating a barrier that prevents ice from forming and blocking the entire system.

As a final measure, Bruce covered the entire crawl space with CleanSpace antimicrobial lining. The lining acts as a barrier that protects the home's support structures from moisture that could invite mold and other complications.

Ryan did not have a sufficient support system in his basement and was on the lookout for better options. He found that Ayers had solutions for what he was looking for so he made the call. We had our System Design Specialists come out to his home for a free inspection and to let Ryan know the best course of action. From there it was decided that SmartJacks would be the best option to correct these serious support issues.

The benefits of SmartJacks are plentiful. These will provide solid support for sagging and undersized beams which restores stability and straightness to any sagging floor joists in the crawl space. It is installed by attaching steel support beams to the floor joists and a sturdy base at the floor. This foundation repair product will ensure Ryan has a permanent solution to these support issues.

Now that Ryan has a durable, sturdy support system he no longer has to stress about the safety of his home!

Ryan was hoping to get a better support system in his basement to ensure his foundation remains secure. He realized that Ayers sold foundation support solutions so he gave us a call. We sent a crew to inspect his basement for free and it was settled that he would need SmartJacks.

SmartJacks are the perfect solution for Ryan since they are a supplemental support system that supports sagging beams and floor joists. His existing column had failed and settled so he needed a more sufficient, long-lasting solution. These are much stronger as well since they are made of steel columns, threaded rods, and a solid base. SmartJacks are even manufactured with a triple-layer, in-line galvanized coating. Not to mention this is a permanent, proven solution that surpasses any DUI fixes that could've been applied by Ryan himself.

With SmartJacks taking the place of the weak support column he had previously, Ryan doesn't have to worry about the safety of his home being compromised!

Jim noticed there was cracking in his concrete foundation wall that he knew had to be addressed immediately. He called Ayers for foundation repair options. We had a crew come out to his home to inspect these issues and from there our System Design Specialists were able to determine he needed our GeoLock Anchors.

These anchors will work to prevent further wall bowing which is caused from soil pressure. This solution will anchor them in stable soil and we can tighten the cable over time, potentially straightening the wall as well. They work on poured and block walls and provide a great solution. These anchors will ensure the stabilization of his critical foundation wall without having to worry about entirely rebuilding the walls. Each anchor is connected by a steel rod to a wall plate that provides clamping pressure against the inside of the foundation wall.

Jim was grateful to have his bowing foundation wall corrected before it turned into an even more serious issue!

Clair was searching for a fix that would take care of her water intrusion issues that were permeating the wall in her basement. She decided to go with Ayers for solutions and we sent a crew to her home for a free inspection. After the crew took a look at this area our System Design Specialists let Clair know that FlexiSpan would provide the perfect remedy. FlexiSpan is made exactly for small wall cracks leaking water. The cracks first get filled with a watertight, flexible sealant and then another drainage layer is added so that in the case water permeates the membrane, it would flow down the original wall. The water then is directed to the drainage system below. This will provide a much quicker and less pricey fix then a full wall remodel. It was important for Clair to get this tackled right away before the cracks spread to something worse!

Becky knew her crawl space was in danger of damage caused by outside pests and moisture since this area was not encapsulated. She called Ayers for crawl space repair, so a team was sent to her home. After an inspection, our system design specialists determined CleanSpace would protect this space. CleanSpace is a heavy-duty waterproof liner installed on the crawl space floor and walls. The vapor barrier it provides will prevent moisture from the ground from causing havoc in the crawl space. Mold and bacteria thrive in these moist areas. This barrier will prevent critters and mold. Now Becky's crawl space will remain protected and in much better shape!

Christopher's unfinished basement had water leaking through a couple of his walls. Heavy rains were a huge concern. Our Ayers crew was glad to help waterproof this troublesome area. Christopher didn't want to mop up these frustrating leaks anymore, so we recommended our WaterGuard and TripleSafe sump pump systems. WaterGuard is an interior drainage system placed in the subfloor of the basement around the perimeter. We poured concrete over the drain to conceal the solution within the ground. Next, we installed TripleSafe, a three-pump system where leaks get sent from WaterGuard. Each pump can handle heavy volumes of water. The third pump is battery-operated, ensuring it stays on during power failures. Christopher won't have to get out his mop again for those pesky wall leaks!

Mary's home had stone basement walls, and she worried that the voids between the stones would allow moisture entry. She needed the problem resolved quickly, so she called Ayers for assistance. Our crew of experts stopped by her home to examine the space and recommend a solution. The team suggested Shotcrete, a solution that applies a concrete or mortar wet spray through a high-pressure hose to fill a form or repair damaged surfaces. Mary is happy to be rid of unwanted moisture!

Randy realized there was standing water moisture in his crawl space and knew it could lead to more severe damage. He wasn't sure what to do about the problem, so he researched his options and called Ayers to learn about our waterproofing solutions. Our experts stopped by his house and evaluated the situation, then suggested the installation of the CleanSpace vapor barrier. CleanSpace is durable and constructed of antimicrobial-lined material to prevent mold growth and moisture entry. Randy is happy to have a dry crawl space!

Helen recently noticed the floor in her dining room was sagging and a little bouncy. She was unsure what caused the issue and how to fix it, so she researched her options and called Ayers for help. We sent a crew of specialists to her home to evaluate the situation and recommend a solution. They suggested the installation of SmartJacks, a system of floor jacks built with longevity to last alongside the house. Each SmartJack is hot-dipped in galvanized steel, zinc plated, and has a two-foot-deep base to increase load-bearing capability. Helen is happy with her balanced floor!

Homeowners in Hastings, Michigan, cherished their summers spent at their family retreat by the lake. Unfortunately, the home began to show signs of shifting due to the soft nature of the lakeside soil. Concerned about the stability of their beloved retreat, the family called Ayers for help. Our team recommended the installation of helical piers around the home to lift and stabilize the foundation. Helical piers can be drilled deep into the ground, ensuring they remain unaffected by the soft soil near the lake. With this solution, the family can once again enjoy their summer home with peace of mind, knowing it is secure and stable for years to come.

When this homeowner noticed a large crack running from top to bottom on their retaining wall, they knew action was needed to prevent further damage. Built in 2000, the home relied on the wall for structural support, making its stability critical. Concerned about safety, they contacted Ayers for a solution.

System Design Specialist Caleb recommended GeoLock Earth Anchors to stabilize the wall and gradually restore its position. Our crew installed the anchors by connecting heavy-duty steel plates on the wall to earth anchors embedded in stable soil using steel rods. This system counteracts the pressure causing the crack and allows tightening to straighten the wall over time.

The homeowner now has peace of mind knowing their retaining wall is secure, protecting their home for years to come.
