Protecting Elmira, MI, Basement from Leaking Water with TripleSafe

Jackie went into her basement and was shocked at how much water was on the floor. Knowing she didn't know how to fix it, she figured it was time to call Ayers. We sent a team of specialists to Jackie's house to inspect her basement and recommend the best solution possible. Upon examination, it was clear Jackie needed the TripleSafe sump pump system. As a system, TripleSafe has three pumps for all circumstances, making the system adaptable and proactive against pump failure. If the first pump should fail, there's a backup, and if the power goes out, there's a battery-powered pump to ensure your system continues working. Jackie is ecstatic to have her basement dry once again!

Transforming a Damp Crawl Space into a Dry Lakeside Retreat

This lakeside cottage in Kewadin, MI, faced moisture intrusion and an outdated sump pump, putting its crawl space at risk. Ayers replaced the failing system with a SmartSump® sump pump, encapsulated the space with CleanSpace®, and added a self-emptying dehumidifier to maintain a dry environment. Now, the homeowners can enjoy their cottage worry-free, knowing their crawl space is safe and protected.

TripleSafe Sump Pump Saves Preschool Basement in Suttons Bay, MI

We had installed WaterGuard for this customer in an adjacent property last year, so when they called with a flooding problem in their preschool's basement, we got right to work.

It took three TripleSafe Sump Pump systems as well as a full installation of WaterGuard, but the preschool is now dry and safe. 

IceGuard vs. Mother Nature in East Jordan, MI

Discharge lines are one of the more commonly overlooked aspects of our waterproofing projects. After adding in a sump pump or a drainage system, that water must be carried somewhere. The obvious preference is that the water is deposited so far away it can never reach your home again, but that’s not always possible.

After one of our Ayers teams completed a crawlspace encapsulation in East Jordan, they had to take the steps to prevent flooding from happening again. The flood occurred because there was ground water close enough to the crawlspace to leak in. Our discharge lines and lawnscape outlet focus on making sure that the same water doesn’t return. The biggest to those lines will be freezing temperatures (as seen in the before picture). If the line were to freeze over, water that was exiting the system would be forced back to the crawl space sump pump because of clogging. That’s why the team installed an IceGuard shield. The shield is an alternative escape route in the event that the line freezes. The IceGuard shield points away from the foundation to prevent water from leaking back in. Obviously our hope is that the water will exit at the safe distance of the lawnscape outlet, but when temperatures freeze our only focus is getting the water out.

Maybe one-day snow and ice won’t be a problem for us Midwesterners, but until then we’re glad that we’ve got IceGuard.

Keeping Water Out of this Lake Front Home

Darryl has a seasonal waterfront home that had a water intrusion issue in the basement. Water was coming up from the cracks in the floor and the sump pump was not pumping the water out. We used the WaterGuard to collect the water and send it to a new sump pump. It is installed under the floor so you do not have an unsightly drain in your space. The new sump pump we installed, the TripleSafe, has 3 levels of protection to keep the home dry even if a pump fails or there is a power outage. We also installed the SaniDry XP dehumidifier to dry the space and filter the air. It stands up and can be stored in a corner or closet so that it can stay out of the way in your basement.
