Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Creeky Floors in Harrisville, MI

Jo had had enough of his creaky floors and was ready to find a permanent solution. He contacted Ayers and allowed our resident foreman Bruce inspect the home. Bruce found that the home's crawlspace was in need of support. Bruce and his team installed a new sump pump and added a modification to help water flow during the winter. To help with the support structures Bruce added SmartJack piers at strategic points.

SmartJack

SmartJack piers are metal beams placed strategically along the structure's supportive rim joist. The bottoms are anchored into the ground with poured concrete while the tops are capped with load-bearing joints that are attached to the rim joist. The entire pier's height is adjusted till there is constant pressure being applied, reintroducing support to the entire framework.

TripleSafe

TripleSafe is a trusted sump pump at Ayers due to its three levels of security. The first level is a powerful motor that has a high water capacity. The second level of security is a reserve motor that activates if the water surpasses a certain level on the initial motor. The third level of security is a backup battery that only activates if the home losses power.

IceGuard

IceGuard is a modification that attaches to the pipes of the home's sump pump. Without the mod ice can build up when the pump pushes water through the system, risking buildups and ruptures. IceGuard is a simple attachment that requires no energy to function year-round.
