David has been having flooding issues in his crawl space, it is even causing some of his insulation to fall. Therefore he called our team and we decided to install CleanSpace. CleanSpace is used as a vapor barrier to restrict all moisture, outside air, and pests from entering your crawl space. This plastic sheet material not only creates 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.

Several cracks in a homeowner’s walls were letting water into the basement. Our team installed the CleanSpace Basement Finishing Wall System to prevent any more water intrusion. Using a poly sheet material to completely cover basement foundation walls this system acts as a vapor and moisture barrier. The material is waterproof, stain resistant and can be applied over many different types of surfaces. This system was perfect for this homeowner and put a stop to all water intrusion into his basement immediately.

Jo called our team because he had uneven and cracking concrete in his garage, sidewalk and driveway. We installed PolyLevel, a system designed to fix concrete slabs that have sunk by using a new product to lift the concrete slabs back to their original level. The new product used is a polyurethane foam that expands and has a high density in order to raise the concrete. The process is quite simple and is done by drilling small holes into the concrete and then inserting the foam into the holes. Also, the PolyLevel system is waterproof and long-lasting.

Job Stories From Berrien County, MI
DryTrak Saves The Day For A Leaky Coloma Basement

Kelly & Ron have lived in their home for two years now. They have been having problems with their basement letting in water for about the same amount of time. The main point of the water seaping in is the cove area where the floor slab meets the wall. Theyre biggest concern is not being able to properly use their basement. 

To fix this they have decided to add a DryTrak drainage channel. This is designed to capture this water leakage before it reaches your basement floor. DryTrak is compatible with all foundation wall types, and it will perform equally well on basements of different sizes and shapes. Our well-trained crews are often able to complete a DryTrak installation in a single day.

Ron & Kelly were very satisfied with their new installments and are living with a completely dry basement!

TripleSafe and WaterGuard Give Peace of Mind to Home in Benton Harbor, MI

Kenneth was living in Texas, but he had a second property in Benton Harbor, MI. While he wouldn’t be back to the property for another month, he knew that some work needed to be done in the basement. Mostly, he needed a solution for his basement floor that had been soaking wet during the spring. Kenneth wanted the home to be comfortable when he returned, so he set up an installation with us at the start of August.

Our crew found that the leaking water was coming through multiple cracks on the basement floor. Water that leaks through floors has a habit of puddling around the perimeter of the basement because it’s usually the lowest point in the room. To help catch that water, the crew installed the WaterGuard Perimeter Drainage System. WaterGuard sits below the foundation footing where wall and floor meet. The water that naturally flows to the area will enter the system and be directed to Kenneth’s new TripleSafe sump pump. The TripleSafe sump pump is perfect for homeowners like Kenneth, who can’t constantly monitor the system. TripleSafe sumps continue to operate during power outages and have two backup pumps that will kick in if the water load is ever too much for the original to handle. It won't matter if Kenneth is in Texas or Michigan, either way, his home will be protected.

Lifting a Watervliet, MI Deck with Piers

Donna had been worried about her cinder block foundation for quite some time. She had already taken the steps to repairing the crawl space. Our crew had gone out to Watervliet earlier this summer and installed a SmartJack and waterproofing system into the crawl space. While this had done a lot for the structural integrity of the home, the concrete slab that Donna's deck was dependent on had started to sink and crack. Our crew solved the problem with a piering system. Helical piers are installed below the foundation in excavated soil to lift the structure.

However, in this case, the deck was attached to the crack concrete slab. So, the first step for the crew was excavating a few portions of the concrete slab around the perimeter of the deck. Then, with the access to the soil that the crew needed, they drove the piers into deep, stable soil under the deck wall. Lastly, they attached the deck's foundation to the piers, backfilled the area with soil, and poured fresh concrete over the piers. With this final installation, the team was able to give Donna the foundation stability she had wanted for so long.

Leveling Out a Benton Harbor, MI Porch with Piers

Jill and Larry found a crack on the concrete slab of their porch. When our system design specialist took a trip to Benton Harbor to have a look at the problem for himself, he found that the ground where the porch rested had started to settle. The weight of the crawl space, porch, and the overhanging roof had become too much for the soil to bear. As time passed, that soil was pushed down and the corner of the house went with it. The second floor had even started to slope towards that corner. Our crew gave Jill and Larry a visit with the piering system. 

To fix the problem, the crew installed 7 different helical piers around the corner of the crawl space and concrete slab. The piers were driven deep down into excavated soil and act like large screws that transfer the weight of Jill and Larry's above structure to more dependable soil. Once the piers were in the ground, the concrete slab was attached to the piers to level out the porch and every other part of the foundation above it. 

Waterproofing a Cluttered Niles, MI Basement

Peggy called a year after her husband had died, with the ongoing problem of her basement looming. There had been water problems in the basement every time it rained for quite a while, but now that she had the time to focus on it, she realized she had no idea what to do. Luckily, she called us.

We installed a full perimeter of WaterGuard below-floor drain to shuttle the water to a new TripleSafe sump pump. A SaniDry dehumidifier was installed to take care of ambient moisture. Those products working in conjunction will take care of any incoming water and keep the basement dry and safe for storage.

Speaking of storage, we also helped Peggy out by cleaning out some items cluttering the basement, so not only is the basement dry, it's also usable again.

Keeping Water Out of Delton, MI Basement

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!

 

Wet Benton Harbor, MI Basement Receives Effective Waterproofing Solution

Larry and Tierra F. needed an effective solution for their wet basement. They had just purchased their home and found that the carpet in the basement was wet and the baseboards were wet as well. The home had poured concrete foundation and the basement was finished so they wanted to get the problem fixed before water created further issues in their new home. 

Water coming in through the walls needed to be collected and drained into the sump pump, which is why we installed the WaterGuard system. The perimeter of the flooring closest to the walls was removed in order to place pipes that water would enter into and then empty into the sump pump. After placing the pipes, we filled the remaining space in the trench with crushed stone and then covered the system with cement to restore the flooring. Part of the system was left uncovered so that water was able to enter through the wall and then filter into the pipes. An inspection port was also included in this system, which allows the homeowner and us to have access to the space if needed in the future. 

Next a SuperSump sump pump was installed to collect water from the WaterGuard system to then discard it from the home. For this home with occasional water issues, the SuperSump system was the ideal economical solution. This system has a powerful Zoeller pump that can pump up to 2,220 gallons of water per hour. First, a sturdy liner was placed in the crock that can collect water from ground and from the WaterGuard system. The Zoeller pump was then placed in the liner and an airtight lid was secured over the system to prevent water in the sump from evaporating into the basement, which would create further moisture issues. A floor drain and pump alarm were included in the lid to allow water to immediately enter the sump if a flood occurs and the alarm gives the homeowners immediate knowledge if the pump cannot keep up.

Next the IceGuard system was installed on the home’s discharge lines. This system has large openings that help water exit the lines immediately, even if the pipes are frozen. This is a great option for these homeowners because it prevents water from being unable to exit and then re-entering the home, causing a flood or large leak. 

A LawnScape outlet was installed underneath the ground to take water from the discharge lines out away from the home, to prevent it from flowing back toward the property. 

Waterproofing in Niles, MI Home

Paul G. from Niles, MI had a crack in his basement wall that was causing water to come into his basement. For a trusty fix, he gave us a call. 

To remedy this situation, we decided to install our patented WaterGuard French drain system. WaterGuard rests below the basement floor but above the foundation footing, collecting all the water that seeps in through Paul's basement through the walls. WaterGuard is covered with a new layer of cement following its installation, making the product virtually invisible.

Paul, say goodbye to water issues! 

Dirty Crawl Space in Niles, MI Transformed

James V. of Niles, MI had a dark, dirty crawl space before he gave us a call. He wanted it to be encapsulated so it would not cause any problems.

We installed a customer favorite -- the CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system. CleanSpace is a 20 mm thick plastic lining that when installed, completely sealed off James' crawl space from the surrounding elements. No water, dirt, cold air, moisture, or debris will enter with this installation. And as a plus, CleanSpace is made with anti-microbial components to prevent any mold growth. This crawl space is now bright, clean, and in ready to keep the home above it in tip top shape!

WaterGuard Prepares Homeowner For Basement Makeover

This homeowner called because she had water entering the basement during heavy rain. The basement was finished at the time, although she wanted to re-do it after the water intrusion was taken care of properly. 

The WaterGuard system was installed to collect and drain water coming in through the wall. To begin the installation, we excavated parts of the floor around the interior perimeter of the basement walls. The flooring was removed so we could place a piping system that collects intruding water from the wall and directs it to the home’s sump pump to be discarded. The pipes were placed slightly away from the wall to make sure any water leakage is able to filter into the system and they were also set on top of the footing to prevent dirt and debris from entering the pipes and clogging them. The excess space in the removed floor was filled with crushed stone and then we covered the system with concrete fill. A small portion of the floor closest to the wall was left uncovered so water could easily enter the pipes. An inspection port was also installed in this system so that we can have access to the system if something isn’t working correctly.

Eliminating Standing Water Issue in Coloma, MI Crawl Space

This 4ft, poured concrete crawl space had a substantial amount of standing water. There were two sump pumps located in the space but they proved to be ineffective because water was still an issue. 

The SmartSump sump pump system was first installed in the crawl space to collect and discard any intruding water that was causing problems for the homeowner. With its sturdy liner, powerful pump and airtight lid, the space was certainly safe from unwanted water.

Drainaing matting was installed next on the floor of the crawl space. The matting has a dimpled surface that helps water flow toward the sump pump instead of getting stuck underneath the crawl space liner. CleanSpace was installed on top of the matting and on the walls of the crawl space to seal the space off from the outside environment. The white, plastic liner is both water and vapor proof to ensure moisture is unable to access the space. 

To eliminate humidity, the SaniDry CX crawl space dehumidifier was installed. The damp air in the space enters the system, passes through a large cold coil, enters a filtration system and then a powerful blower circulates dry air throughout the entire crawl space. 

The last installation for this project was the IceGuard system that combats frozen discharge lines. When discharge lines freeze, water from the sump pump is unable to exit, causing it to re-enter the crawl space and create a flood. IceGuard was installed on the home’s discharge line and has multiple holes that let water exit the lines even if they are frozen.

Bowing Buchanan, MI Wall Saved With PowerBraces and Joist Reinforcement

This Buchanan, MI home had a bowed wall that the homeowner attempted to fix in the past, but the problem still persisted. The wall had a stair-step crack, which is a common sign of wall failure in a home with block wall foundation. Our team of experts had a solution that would permanently stabilize the wall, prevent it from shifting any further, and could potentially move the wall back to its original position.

This effective solution is called the PowerBrace system, which uses steel I-beams to stabilize the bowing wall with minimal disruption to the home. The beams were installed directly against the bowing wall and were secured in flooring at the base of the wall and to the joists above the wall with steel brackets. We also reinforced the joists to alleviate some of the pressure on the wall brought on by the house and its belongings. The system can also be tightened over time to potentially help the wall shift back to its original position.

WaterGuard and SuperSump in Saint Joseph Home

Matthew B. lives in a home that was built 50 years ago. The basement used to be finished but he has torn down the paneling and found mold and dampness in one corner. There is also a basement window that sometimes let in water. He did not have a sump pump and there were horizontal and vertical cracks in the walls.

Our fix? The WaterGuard French drain system and the SuperSump premier sump pump system. We began by installing the SuperSump. The SuperSump is a sump pump that is specifically designed to keep your basement dry for long periods of time. Capable of pumping 2,220 gallons of water per hour, this sump pump is suitable for heavy water intrusion.  

After installing that, we moved onto the WaterGuard French drain system. WaterGuard rests below the floor and above the foundation footing, collecting water that seeps into the basement from the walls. Once this water is collected, it is redirected to the sump pump -- the SuperSump, in this case -- and pumped out of the home. 

Matthew, say goodbye to a wet basement. 

PowerBrace System Gets Benton Harbor, MI Home Ready for Sale

James and Pauline C. called because they were planning to sell their home someday and knew their bowing basement wall had to be fixed before doing so.

Our team of experts installed the PowerBrace system to stabilize the failing wall. This system uses steel I-Beams to hold the wall and prevent it from shifting any further. The beams can also be tightened over time to potentially shift the wall back to its original position. This system worked by installing steel columns that were attached to the floor at the base of the wall and to the joists above the wall. The system was secured with steel brackets and then tightened into place to provide the homeowners with immediate stabilization of their basement wall. An added bonus to these braces is that the columns are coated with zinc to prevent corrosion over time, to ensure full satisfaction.

CleanSpace Saves Saint Joseph Crawl Space

Jeffrey H. from Saint Joseph, MI had never had allergies before he and his family moved into their new home that is 44 years old. His whole family had been seriously congested ever since the move. He had cold floors above his crawlspace and his drywall was starting to crack. On top of that, there was a musty smell invading the home. 

Our solution to this crawl space problem? The CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system. CleanSpace is a 20mm thick plastic lining that completely seals off crawl spaces from the surrounding elements. No dirt, cold air, or water has a chance at getting through this stuff! As an added bonus, CleanSpace is made with anti-microbial properties that prevent mold growth. 

Say goodbye to allergies, cold air, and moisture-associated mold!

Waterproofing in Saint Joseph, MI Home

Jillian J. of Saint Joseph, MI has a home that was built in 1956 out of cement blocks. It has a finished basement but water would trickle down to the main living area of the basement, causing water damage. With this being said, Jillian gave us a call. 

Our solution to this problem? The WaterGuard French drain system. WaterGuard rests below the floor of the basement and above the foundation footing, collecting water that seeps into the basement through the walls. Once that water is collected it is redirected to the sump pump to be pumped up and out of the home. 

Water problems? Good one.

WaterGuard Rescues Flooded Basement in Saint Joseph, MI

Matt P. of Saint Joseph, MI is a new home owner. He was very frustrated because he had bought his house a couple of weeks ago and had already removed over 800 gallons of water in the basement. This being said, Matt called us for professional help.

We determined that the best way to solve this issue would be to install a customer favorite: the WaterGuard French drain system. WaterGuard rests below the basement floor and above the foundation footing, collecting water that seeps into the basement from the walls. Once that water is collected, it is directed to the sump pump to be pupped up and out of the home. 

 

WaterGuard Installment in Watervliet, MI

Jennifer H. of Watervliet, MI had water in a corner of the basement all the time, but just recently it started to get worse. The walls are poured concrete, and water was seeping through where the walls and floors meet. There is a sump pump and dehumidifier, but they weren't working. The home was built in 2001. Jennifer needed a solution, so she called us.

Our fix? The WaterGuard French drain system. WaterGuard rests below the basement floor and above the foundation footing, collecting water that seeps into the basement from the walls. After that water is collected, it is directed to the sump pump to be pumped up and out of the home. 

PolyLevel Injection in Watervliet, MI

Tim M. from Watervliet, MI has a driveway that was sinking before he gave us a call. This can prove to be a tripping hazard and as well as an unslightly appearance for a home. Thus, Tim reached out to us for a solution.

We used one of our favorite products for this project: PolyLevel injection foam. PolyLevel has been tested and is proven to be better at keeping a slab lifted compared to mudjacking. Along with that, the PolyLevel injection process is very non-invasive and once the project is finished, the slab can be driven on within about 15 minutes. 

Updating Crawl Space in Galien, MI Home

This homeowner was looking to encapsulate his block wall crawl space with a gravel floor base. Water and water vapor can easily enter through these materials, which is why we installed the waterproof and vapor proof CleanSpace liner. The liner is made of a durable, inorganic material that is resistant to rips, tares and mold growth. The liner was used to encapsulate the entire space and was securely attached to the walls to ensure it stays in place. 

SilverGlo wall panels were also installed to insulate the space. The foam panels were infused with graphite materials that serve as a radiant heat barrier that reflects heat back into the space, which results in substantial energy savings. SilverGlo is also vapor proof to further prevent moisture from entering the space through the porous concrete walls.

Raising Settled Sidewalk Outside of Berrien Center, MI

Greg W. called because the sidewalk leading to his home had settled and he was looking to get it leveled out before the problem worsened. The reason the concrete sunk in the first place was because the weak soil located below was no longer able to hold the weight of the slab, so we needed a solution that would address that issue.

We decided to install the PolyLevel system to lift the slab and deal with the weak soil issue that would otherwise cause it to sink again. We started by drilling penny-sized holes into the concrete and filled them with specialized polymers. In just about 15 minutes, the polymers expanded to completely lift the slab back to its original position while preventing it from settling again in the future.

Next, we caulked cracks in the sidewalk that formed when the cement slabs began to move and sink. In order to seal the cracks off and prevent them from shifting, we installed the NexusPro joint sealer. This sealant improved the look of the sidewalk and stopped the cracks from expanding any further.

SilverGlo and CleanSpace Installed in Galien, MI Crawl Space

Stephen D. contacted us because he wanted his crawl space encapsulated.

To prevent moisture from entering through the porous concrete walls and gravel floor base, we installed the CleanSpace system. For this installation, we sized and cut the liner to fit the dimensions of the crawl space, covered the entire area and secured it into place. The liner is waterproof and vapor proof to stop any type of moisture from entering and is made from inorganic materials to prevent mold growth.

We also installed SilverGlo wall insulation that has tiny graphite particles that serve as a radiant heat barrier. This insulation also provides a vapor barrier to further prevent moisture from making its way into the crawl space through the walls.

Say Goodbye to Standing Water

Janice S. of Niles, MI has a basement that would get water every spring. There is a crack in the wall but she had no idea where the water is coming from. Before she called us she had at least 1" of standing water and she had had enough. 

Our solution? The TripeSafe sump pump system and the WaterGuard French drain system. The TripleSafe is a sump pump that provides three levels of protection against water leakage. Whether it be normal water supply, heavy volumes of water, or in the case of a power outage, this sump pump will keep your basement dry. For normal water supply, the Zoeller ⅓ horsepower pump functions. At a heavier level, the Zoeller ½ horsepower pump activates. In the case of a power outage, the UltraSump backup sump pump will pump water on a backup battery.

The WaterGuard French drain system rests below the basement floor and above the foundation footing collecting water that seeps into the basement from the walls. After this water is collected it is directed to the sump pump -- the TripleSafe -- to be pumped up and out of the house.

Sunken Slab Repaired in Niles, MI

Nathan B. of Niles, MI dealt with a sunken slab outside of his garage that was causing a tripping hazard. The slab had sunken about an inch before Nathan gave us a call. 

Our fix? PolyLevel foam injection. PolyLevel is lightweight yet strong, bringing a slab back to its original height in no time. We begin by drilling penny-sized holes into the cement slab and then inject the PolyLevel. After the holes are resealed, the slab can be walked or driven on in roughly 15 minutes. 

PolyLevel Raises Falling Slab in Niles, MI

Dan E. of Niles, MI had a sinking cement slab that was creating a tripping hazard. This said, he gave us a call for a professional and long term fix.

We used our patented PolyLevel foam injection to solve this problem. PolyLevel is proven to be better and raising a slab that mudjacking and is far less intrusive. We begin by drilling penny-sized holes into the slab and after the PolyLevel is injected the holes are refilled. In the end, the slab can be walked or driven on in roughly 15 minutes.

Bowed Wall Stabilized With PowerBraces in Benton Harbor, MI

The foundation wall in this Benton Harbor home had a bowing foundation wall with a large horizontal crack across the middle of it. The homeowners wanted the issue fixed before the wall worsened and our team of experts knew the perfect solution to their problem.

We installed the PowerBrace system that used steel beams to stabilize the bowing wall. This system uses a joist reinforcement method that transfers the weight of the wall evenly across the basement ceiling, which ensures the steel beams do not affect the floor above. The braces were installed at the base of the wall and secured to the joists above with steel brackets. The steel beams were coated with non-toxic zinc to prevent corrosion and they can be tightened over time with a tightening kit that is used to pull the wall back to its original position.

PolyLevel Installed to Level Out Bridgman, MI Patio

Robert and Marlene S. contacted us because their patio with a glass enclosure and hot tub was sinking. They originally noticed the issue because water in the hot tub was not leveled. They had the patio lifted in the past through another company, although it began to settle once again.

We installed the PolyLevel system to raise and stabilize the settled patio while addressing the weak soil issue that originally caused the slab to sink. Several small holes were drilled into the patio and then injected with dense, lightweight polymers. Once injected, the polymers expanded to completely lift the slab back to its original level and had a short cure time of about 15 minutes. We also used NexusPro joint sealer to caulk the cracks in the patio to prevent them from expanding any further.

PowerBraces Installed to Save Failed Foundation Wall in Coloma, MI

The owner of this Coloma, MI home contacted us to figure out a reliable solution to fix his failing foundation wall. The wall had several large stair-step and horizontal cracks and was beginning to bow inward.

Thankfully, our team of experts knew the PowerBrace system would stabilize and potentially pull the wall back to its original position. The specialized steel braces were installed at the base of the wall and securely attached to the joists above the wall with steel brackets. Once tightened into place, the wall was stabilized and would no longer crack or bow any further. The system also used a joist reinforcement method that transfered the weight of the wall evenly across the basement ceiling to ensure the braces did not interfere with the floor above. The system can be tightened overtime to shift the wall back to its original position if possible.

Settled Pool Deck Stabilized With PolyLevel in Berrien Springs, MI

The concrete around the pool in this Berrien Springs home was sloping and had multiples gaps and cracks that formed over time.

We installed the PolyLevel system to lift and stabilize the settled concrete. We first drilled multiple small holes into the concrete and then injected each with a specialized polymer material. The high-density polymers expanded to lift the concrete slabs back to their original position and their lightweight makeup addressed the weak the soil issue below that caused the slab to sink in the first place. This installation caused little disruption to the home and had a cure time of about 15 minutes. We also installed the NexusPro joint sealer to each of the cracks in the cement to prevent them from cracking any further.

Water Coming into Basement at Seam of the Wall in Saint Joseph, MI

Nicholas V. of Saint Joseph, MI had water coming into his basement through the seam between the wall and the basement floor. Because of the damage that can be caused by basement water, Nicholas gave us a call for a professional fix.

We installed two of our favorite products for this project: the TripleSafe sump pump system and the WaterGuard French drain system.

The TripleSafe is a sump pump that provides three levels of protection against water leakage. Whether it be normal water supply, heavy volumes of water, or in the case of a power outage, this sump pump will keep your basement dry. For normal water supply, the Zoeller ⅓ horsepower pump functions. At a heavier level, the Zoeller ½ horsepower pump activates. In the case of a power outage, the UltraSump backup sump pump will pump water on a backup battery.

The WaterGuard system rests below the basement floor and above the foundation footing, collecting water that seeps into the basement from the walls (or the seam between the wall and the floor). Once this water is collected it is redirected to the sump pump -- the TripleSafe -- to be pumped up and out of the home.

Dampness and Puddling Put to an End with SuperSump and WaterGuard

John R. of Sawyer, MI had dealt with a pesky basement for years. One of the corners of the basement showed signs of dampness and puddling after heavy rains, so John gave us a call.

Our solution? The SuperSump premier sump and the WaterGuard French drain system. The SuperSump is a sump pump specifically designed to keep your basement dry for long periods of time. Capable of pumping 2,220 gallons of water per hour, it is suitable for heavy water intrusion.

The WaterGuard system rests below the basement floor and above the foundation footing, collecting water that seeps into the basement from the walls. Once this water is collected, it is redirected to the sump pump -- the SuperSump -- to be pumped up and out of the basement. 

WaterGuard Prevents Water in Basement in Sawyer, MI

Danny P. of Sawyer, MI had water leakage in his basement and needed a solution. Water intrusion can cause a myriad of problems in a home, so he gave us a call.

We installed our WaterGuard French drain system. WaterGuard sits below the basement floor but above the foundation footing, collecting water that seeps into the basement from the outside. This water is them directed to the sump pump to be pumped up and out of the home. Once we install the WaterGuard drain, we cover it up with a new layer of cement so that it does not show.

CleanSpace Installation in Sawyer, MI Seals Off Crawl Space

Velda B. of Sawyer, MI had some crawl space water problems that needed to be tended to. A crawl space filled with water can cause an innumerable amount of issues. This said, Velda gave us a call.

We installed our CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system. CleanSpace is a 20mm thick plastic lining that completely seals off the crawl space from the surrounding elements. No dirt, water, cold air, or moisture will get through this barrier. And as an added bonus, CleanSpace is made with anti-microbial properties that prevent mold growth.

Old Water Issue Fixed by WaterGuard and TripleSafe

Jennifer M. of Sawyer, MI has an old issue of water getting into her basement through the foundation blocks during heavy rains. Because of the damage water can, and has, caused, Jennifer gave us a call for a professional solution.

We installed two of our favorite products: the TripleSafe sump pump system and the WaterGuard French drain system.

The TripleSafe is a sump pump that provides three levels of protection against water leakage. Whether it be normal water supply, heavy volumes of water, or in the case of a power outage, this sump pump will keep your basement dry. For normal water supply, the Zoeller ⅓ horsepower pump functions. At a heavier level, the Zoeller ½ horsepower pump activates. In the case of a power outage, the UltraSump backup sump pump will pump water on a backup battery.

The WaterGuard drain rests beneath the basement floor but above the foundation footing, collecting water that seeps into the basement from the walls. Once this water is captured, it is sent to to the sump pump -- the TripleSafe -- to be pumped up and out of the home.

Coloma, MI Wall Restored With Geo-Lock Wall Anchors

The basement wall in this home had multiple cracks that began to form after the homeowners had work done on the sidewalk outside. There were sure signs of wall failure and the homeowner was looking to get the issues resolved before the problem worsened.

Our team of experts installed the Geo-Lock wall anchor system to restore the failing wall and prevent it from shifting or cracking any further. We started the installation be excavating the lawn directly outside of the failing wall in order to place steel earth anchors into stable soil, deep in the ground. The anchors were then connected to the foundation wall with steel wall anchors and secured into place with steel rods. The specialized anchors ensured the wall was secure and would no longer shift and crack. We also installed Hide-A-Way covers to give the anchor system a sleek look.

We installed a SaniDry XP dehumidification system to remove the high humidity levels in the basement. The system wrings the air dry of any moisture and then distributes dry, filtered air throughout the entire area.

Eliminating Intruding Water and Moisture in Coloma, MI Crawl Space

This Coloma, MI crawlspace had standing water in it and the homeowner came to us to figure out how to solve the problem once and for all. There were already 2 sump pumps in the space, but water was still an issue. Luckily, we knew just what to do.

We first installed a SmartSump sump pump system that was specifically made for wet crawl space needs. The system ensured water or moisture within the crawl space was efficiently collected and pumped outside of the home.

Next, we installed the CleanSpace liner. This liner was used to encapsulate the entire space, including the floor and the walls. The porous block walls and concrete floor was allowing water to leak into space. The waterproof and vapor proof liner protected the space from any type of moisture or water that otherwise would have occupied the area.

To control the high humidity levels, we installed a SaniDry Cx dehumidification system. This specialized dehumidifier eliminated moisture in the air and in return, blew dry, filtered air throughout the entire crawl space. An added bonus to this system is that collected water is automatically discarded into the sump pump and then pumped outside of the home.

Lastly, the IceGuard system was installed on the home’s discharge line to ensure water was being automatically discharged from the lines even if they were frozen.

Wet Carpet in Basement When it Rains: Put to an End

Larry C. of Stevensville, MI experienced the unfortunate fate that comes along with a leaky basement -- when it would rain, the carpet in the basement would get wet. This can cause unflattering smells, mold growth, and obvious damage to the basement. Thus, Larry gave us a call.

PolyLevel and FlexiSpan Installed in Buchanan, MI Home

Lynn E. contacted us because his back patio was starting to sink. The issue was causing water to leak into the basement through a crack in the poured concrete wall.

To deal with the crack in the wall, we installed the FlexiSpan wall system. This system used a drainage grate in the ground to accommodate intruding water and a specialized material that sealed the crack and was able to move with the wall as it shifted to prevent the crack from growing or spreading.

To raise the settled patio, we installed the PolyLevel system. Multiple holes were drilled into the concrete slab and were then injected with specialized polymers that expanded to permanently lift the slab back to its original position.

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. 

Helical Piers Save Unstable Foundation in Benton Harbor, MI

Jill and Larry C. called because they had several cracks in their concrete front porch and crawl space beneath, which was due to unstable foundation. They wanted effective solution that would permanently fix the issue.

We installed helical piers to stabilize the shifting foundation. We started by excavating the soil outside of the home in order to attach the piers to the base of the house. Once securely attached, we drilled the piers deep into the ground until they reached stable soil. The piers immediately anchored the unstable foundation by transferring the weight of the foundation through the pier and into the soil, which held it place and prevented it form shifting any further.

WaterGuard French Drain System Saves Leaky Stevensville, MI Basement

Antonio S. from Stevensville, MI was dealing with immense water issues before he gave us a call. Water was leaking in through the seam between the basement wall and the basement floor. Water in a basement like this can cause deterioration of the walls and the floor, mold growth, and odors. Thankfully for Antonio, we had a solution.

We used our customer favorite: the WaterGuard French drain system. The WaterGuard drain rests below the basement floor and above the foundation footing. Because of this placement, the water that seeps in from the walls is collected in the drain and redirected to the sump pump to be pumped up and out of the home.

Eliminating Intruding Water in Marshall, MI Home

These homeowners had a 1996 poured concrete foundation basement that had water entering the basement where the floor and walls met. There was also a small crack on one of the walls that was further contributing to the issue. In order to collect water that was entering the home, we installed the effective WaterGuard system. This drainage system was installed underneath the flooring around the interior perimeter of the basement. Water that flows down into the drainage pipes is immediately discarded into the home’s sump pump to prevent it from leaking out onto the floor. An additional discharge line was installed to carry intruding water out of the home and a LawnScape outlet was attached to the end of the line to efficiently discard and lead exiting water away from the home. To seal off the crack in the wall, we installed the FlexiSpan system, which is a flexible, waterproof sealant. Once applied, water would no longer make its way into the home and the flexible material allowed the wall to shift while keeping to sealant in tact.

PowerBrace System Saves Falling Walls in Coloma, MI

Falling walls in a basement is not a matter to take lightly. Your basement is literally the foundation to your house, and you don't want your entire house crumbling down. Matt and Stephanie called us in time to fix their home before anything bad happened.

We installed our PowerBrace system in this home which works over time to straighten and stabilize a wall. It's perfect for homes that don't have room on the outside for digging, so another system can't be installed. The PowerBraces are also zinc-coated so that they won't rust and there's no excavating required.

Wet and Moldy Crawl Space in Saint Joseph, MI

Tawnya C. was experiencing a crawl space nightmare in her home. Her crawl space walls were made of cement blocks and dirt floor. It had recently flooded and she was sure mold began to grow and the wood was rotting. She desperately wanted to get her crawl space sealed up.

Our team came in and sealed and waterproofed Tawnya’s crawl space. Due to those concrete walls, it's easy for water and moisture to seep in. The moisture combined with the surface of the concrete walls is ideal for mold growth. We installed our durable Clean Space liner, made of inorganic material, to prevent mold growth and to keep moisture from seeping into the space. In addition to the liner, we installed the SaniDry Sedona, a dehumidifier, that wrings your air dry ensuring no moisture is in the air.

Another point of entrance for water and moisture in crawl spaces is through the vents. Allowing that outside air in can cause condensation around pipes. Our vent covers are plastic and fit snugly in order to stop air and moisture from entering. This allows the SaniDry Sedona to effectively do its job and dry out your crawl space.

After sealing Tawnya’s crawl space, she no longer has to worry about a wet, moldy crawl space and can ensure her family’s health is safe. Worrying about the health risks associated with having mold in your home, such as the risk of getting asthma, is a thing of the past.

Bowing Wall Repair in Stevensville, MI

Matthew R. was concerned about his basement walls. He noticed they were beginning to lean and had stair step cracks, unfortunately, these are signs of wall failure. Our team inspected the wall and noticed that it was only bowing in the center and not the bottom or top of the wall. Our customer caught the issue early and we decided to install CarbonArmor. CarbonArmor is perfect for this situation where the wall is only bowing in the center and bottom or top of the wall have not begun to slide. It is substantially stronger than concrete, adheres directly to the wall, and sports a low profile design. The low profile designs allow it to be installed in tight places and even be painted over for a clean finished look.

Waterproofed a Benton Harbor, MI Basement

This home in Benton Harbor was listed for sale by its current owners. A buyer came to buy the house but the wet basement was a big issue. After having inspectors and our team of professionals come in we were able to set up a time to fix the basement. There were literally puddles of water. 

We installed our CleanSpace system with drainage matting. This encapsulates the basement so no more water can get in from the floor or walls. We also installed a sump pump to pump the water outside and away from the home. 

This story goes to show that you're going to have to pay to fix your wet basement eventually. When you put your home for sale inspectors will see mold, standing water and other signs of moisture and it will have to be taken care of before the house sells. 

Bowing Wall in Saint Joesph, MI

BOWING WALLS ARE VERY SCARY! I just wanted to get my announcement out there that if your foundation wall is beginning to bow inward it's not something that should be put off. Please contact a professional as soon as you notice signs of your foundation failing. The most common things to look out for is horizontal cracking, stair-step cracking at the corners, or the wall pushing in at the bottom of the wall. 

This home in Saint Joesph had very obvious signs of a bowing wall. The entire bottom was pushed out and cracking. We installed our PowerBrace system to potentially straighten the wall over time. The beams are zinc coated so they won't rust, no outside excavation is required and they can be tightened as the wall moves back to its original position.

Poly Level Lifts Basement and Garage Floors in Three Oaks, MI

This home in Three Oaks is about 21 years old and had a few small cracks in the basement floor. Over the last year and a half though the cracks have expanded and more have appeared. There was also a horizontal crack that appeared in the wall coming from the egress window. There were no signs of water coming into the basement but the homeowners wanted to prevent this from happening. The garage floor also has cracks that have started.

All of these cracks are signs of a sinking floor slab. Once the slabs have begun to crack they will continue to do so, and the longer you wait to fix it the more expensive it's going to be. Cracks will also eventually begin to let outside elements in such as water and no one wants to deal with a flooded basement. These can also become a safety issue once the slab settles too much because people can trip and that's not a liability anyone wants to have to have.

We were able to use our PolyLevel system to fix the basement and garage floors. Small holes are drilled in the concrete and the PolyLevel is then inserted into the holes to lift the sinking slabs back to their original height. PolyLevel is great because it only takes about 15 minutes to cure, a lot less invasive then mudjacking or replacing the entire floor, and the material is waterproof so it won't wash out beneath the slab in the future.

 

Piering Fixes Floor Cracks in Saint Joseph, MI

Adam C. contacted us because he had a large crack in his basement floor that went across through multiple rooms. There was also another crack that had appeared under one of the windows. 

Our team and Adam decided that the best way to fix this issue was to install helical piers. These piers are mechanically screwed into the soil and the weight of the home is transferred to the piers. This helps lift the home back to its original position and to close the cracks.

PolyLevel

This home had a couple small cracks in the basement floor that were continuing to grow over time. The homeowner was looking to stabilize the shifting floors and prevent them from settling again in the future.

We used the PolyLevel system to raise and level the concrete slabs while addressing the weak soils below that were no longer able to hold the weight of the home. We started by drilling small holes in the slabs. The holes were then injected with a lightweight and dense polymer material that expanded to the lift the unleveled concrete. We also used the NexusPro joint sealant to fill in the cracks and prevent them from expanding.

Sinking Slab Raised in Eau Claire, MI

This customer of ours had a sinking slab at their home that was causing slanting in the side of the home. This can cause a dangerous structural issue and needed a fix, and fast.

We used our patented PolyLevel injection foam to lift this slab back to its original position.

The holes are then filled back in with fresh cement, making this project minimal in its intrusion.

Severe Cracking & Wall Failure in Niles, MI

Mary had severe horizontal cracks in her cement block basement walls. Horizontal cracks are usually a result of bowing walls. The cracks usually start out  as small and increase in width over time as the soil from the outside continues to put pressure on the wall. This pressure can be caused by a variety of things such as hydro-static pressure. Hydro-static pressure is caused when water saturates the soils around your foundation and begins exerting that pressure against the wall.

Our team of experts used installed CarbonArmor to resolve Mary’s problem. CarbonArmor is significantly stronger than concrete and 10 times stronger than steel.

Russell and Lorinda were having water issues in their basement. Water was coming in through the wall and they had puddles everywhere even though they had two sump pumps. So our team 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.

Foundation Wall Repair in Buchanan, MI

Ken had horizontal and vertical cracks in one of his basement walls. In addition, the wall was bowing inwards, so he called our team for help and we installed PowerBrace. PowerBrace is a foundation repair system created to secure basement walls in place. Often outside pressures can cause your basement walls to crack or tilt, this foundation repair system counteracts these pressures by keeping your basement walls in place. Over time, the system can be tightened to not only secure the walls in place, but to also straighten them.

Ken needed more support for the deck attached to his house. So he called our team and we installed push piers to stop the settlement and overtime bring the foundation back to its original level. We installed the push piers deep into the soil underneath the foundation for a quick installation and permanent solution. 

Concrete Lifting in Buchanan, MI

William and Donna had some concrete slabs that were sunk and cracking so they called our team for help. We installed PolyLevel, 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.

Basement Windows in Niles, MI

A customer wanted to turn part of his basement into a livable space so he called our team and we installed an egress window. Egress windows are required because they are big enough to provide a safe exit in case of emergency. In addition to having a safe exit in your basement, these windows provide lots of natural light. Lastly, most windows offer minimal protection against outside air entering the home due to poor insulation around the window. Egress windows will help ventilate your indoor areas and prevent unwanted allergens from entering your house.

Crawl Space Vapor Barrier in Benton Harbor, MI

Earnestine has a damp, moldy crawl space that he needs help encapsulating. So our team installed CleanSpace, an uninterrupted vapor barrier. This material is applied to the walls and floor of your crawl space. It restricts all moisture, outside air, and pests from entering your crawl space. This system creates an energy-efficient crawl space, and it also gives your crawl space a clean finish.

Crawl Space Insulation in Benton Harbor, MI

A customer had a moldy crawl space with insulation falling from the ceiling. He wanted his crawl space completely sealed off so our team insulated his 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 moisture and unwanted allergens out. 

Crawl Space Sump Pumps in Benton Harbor, MI

Earnestine had heavy water intrusion into his crawl space. In order to get the water out, we installed TripleSafe, a sump pump system. This system has three pumps so that it can handle the highest pumping demands. In addition, one of the pumps is battery powered which allows it to continue to pump water even during power outages. Earnestine will no longer have to worry about his crawl space flooding even if his electricity goes out.

Crawl Space Dehumidifiers in Benton Harbor, MI

A customer had a moldy crawl space and a mildew smell coming from it. So he called our team and we 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. The customer's conditions in his basement will greatly improve by removing water vapor because it will prevent the growth of mold and decrease the humidity.

Basement Dehumidifiers in Saint Joseph, MI

Robert's basement was musty and he believed that some mold was starting to grow, so he called our team. We installed a 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 Pasty’s conditions in her basement by removing water vapor which will prevent the growth of mold. 

Stabilizing Walls in Saint Joseph, MI

A customer had trouble with one of his basement walls. The wall needed to be stabilized due to water entering through the cracks, so he called our team. We installed the GeoLock Anchor System which permanently stabilized his wall. In most cases it can eventually straighten the wall back to its original position. It is done by putting heavy anchors in stable soil away from your foundation wall. This system is ideal because it involves minimal disturbance to his lawn and home.

Keeping St Joseph, MI Crawl Space Dry and Insulated

Customer had a moisture barrier in the crawl space installed by another company that had failed to keep water out. The homeowner complained of several leaks in the space. We installed a perimeter drainage system to capture moisture from the walls and floor and transport it to the newly installed sump pump. We also installed SilverGlo panels on the walls to provide extra insulation once the owner decided to finish the basement with a waterproof wall covering. These foam wall panels are made of small graphite particles that reflect heat. They also serve as a radiant barrier to reflect heat back into your crawl space. 

We also added a SaniDry Sedona humidifier to the crawl space to keep it dry. This customer will no doubt feel the difference when they walk into their basement with a dedicated dehumidifier keeping moisture out of the air. No more dank, damp air as you do your laundry down there. There are also significant energy saving costs over time.

Leveling a St. Joe Sidewalk

Michael had some sidewalk concrete that was unlevel and the water would flow towards the home. He was concerned that it would lead to other water issues inside the home. We used PolyLevel to raise the concrete slabs back up the original level and make sure the water flowed away from the house. PolyLevel is a foam that is injected under the concrete. The foam is waterproof and stable so it won't wash away or react with soil. The best part is that the foam cures in about 15 minutes so it doesn't inconvenience the homeowner.  

Saving a Bowing Basement Wall in Benton Harbor MI

This Benton Harbor homeowner found some notable signs of bowing on one of the walls in his basement. We were called to help find a solution to the problems and keep his basement walls up right. We used the CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System to stabilize the basement walls. The system is made up of flexible carbon fiber fabric straps that are up to 10 times stronger in tension than steel. The straps are bonded to the wall using a high strength resin. The best part of the system is that it requires no exterior excavation, installs quickly, and won't impact future basement finishing. 

Securing a Bowed Basement Wall in Saint Joseph, MI

Marc called us because he had a bowing wall that he wanted to have fixed. We used the PowerBrace Wall Repair System to stabilize the wall and potentially straighten it back to the original position. 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 so it is the perfect solution to bowing or buckling walls. 

Using Wall Anchors to Support Bowing Walls in Saint Joseph MI

This Saint Joseph home had some bowing walls and stair step cracks in the basement. The homeowners also thought there may have been horizontal and vertical cracks but wanted us to come out and check so that we could find the perfect solution for the foundation issues. We installed the GeoLock Wall Anchors to stabilize the wall and prevent further movement. The anchors are made up of galvanized steel and work by extending from the wall into the hard stable soil to brace the foundation wall. These are installed with minimal disruption to your lawn and do not take up usable space.

A New Buffalo, MI Crawl Space Gets CleanSpace

Chris was having trouble with moisture in his crawl space. Moisture can cause unwanted smells, mold growth, and decreased overall home health. Our team installed CleanSpace, a vapor barrier to restrict all moisture, outside air, and pests from entering the crawl space. It is applied to the floors and walls to create that uninterrupted barrier to restrict air movement and control the temperature of the space, which is helpful for controlling the temperature of the whole house. Controlling the temperature creates an energy-efficient crawl space and carefully placing the CleanSpace gives it a clean and refreshed look. The installation will ensure that Chris will no longer have to worry about moisture and the future problems moisture may cause.

Installing an Egress Window in New Buffalo MI

This couple recently finished the basement in their rental home and wanted to install an egress window. They wanted it to be installed in the bedroom for safety and peace of mind. One of the windows that was in the room was leaking so they wanted to replace it with the egress. We installed the egress for them which allows for a safe exit in an emergency but it also allows for more natural light into the area making it seem brighter and larger!

Keeping Humidity Out of Saint Joseph MI Basement

Elaine never had issues in the last 30 years of living in her home until recently. She had noticed high humidity, dampness, and a musty smell in the air. Since guests stay in the basement during the summers she was hoping to have the air quality addressed. We installed the SaniDry XP which is a basement dehumidifier that keeps dry air circulating throughout the space to dry out the basement. The collected water can be drained into a sump pump pit or a section of your perimeter drain. 

Helical Piers for a Forensic Architect in Three Oaks, MI

Andrea’s wall was moving out of plane and compromising the stability of her home’s foundation. She herself is a forensic architect and has a lot of experience and knowledge of building structures so after browsing through our products she requested helical piers. We feel honored that someone with so much prior knowledge recognized and reconfirmed to us that we have a team of experts. 

Sometimes after homes are built they can experience foundation settling if the soil under them expands and contracts substantially with weather conditions. This can cause a plethora of foundation problems including cracking and bowing walls, foundation shrinkage or expansion, and water in the basement. Helical Piers stabilize settling foundations by connecting the foundation of a home to load-bearing soil by drilling long piers into the ground under a home. The permanent solution is less invasive than it sounds and lasts a lifetime and more.

Andreas home is now stable and secure and she can go back to focusing on other structures' foundations now that she doesn't have to stress about her own.

Water Seepage After Rain in Saint Joseph, MI

Michigan’s unpredictable fall weather hit Elizabeth’s basement hard. After a long rain, there was water seeping into the basement from the front wall. Elizabeth had never seen water coming through her basement before, but when we pulled up the floor we found water and evidence of water damage. To waterproof Elizabeth’s basement, our team installed an EverLast Egress Window, the WaterGuard Drainage System, the TripleSafe Sump Pump, IceGuard, and Rim Joist Insulation. 

Uninsulated rim joists are a common culprit of water seepage. Insulating the joists with spray foam insulation will make sure that any cracks and crevices are filled and won’t let in any water. To catch water that still squeaks by in other places, 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 WaterGuard Port is also nearly invisible in your lawn when installed and isn’t an obstruction while mowing the lawn or hanging out in the yard. 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. 

Lastly, a very important component to making sure your basement stays dry is having windows that aren't rotted, worn down, or leaking. The typical window well is susceptible to the wear and tear of everyday weather conditions that can cause these problems, unlike the EverLast Windows that are practically indestructible. The all-vinyl material will never wear down or corrode, it won't promote mold growth and it will never rot. In combination with the EverLast Window Well cover, you can be sure that no debris, critters, or moisture is trapped in your window well.  

With all of these new systems, Elizabeth won’t have to worry about catching the water she sees or the water she can’t see. These systems will catch it all. Even when it rains Elizabeth will be stress-free.

A Job Done Right in New Buffalo, MI

Nancy’s crawl space was filled with debris and moisture, two things no one wants in their home. She needed a vapor barrier to ensure that the moisture in her crawl space wouldn't cause more damage to her foundation and home. Our team came out and cleaned up the debris and then installed CleanSpace. Clean space is an uninterrupted vapor barrier designed to keep out any unwanted pests, moisture, and mold. This barrier restricts airflow and therefore makes controlling the temperature of the home much easier. CleanSpace is applied to the floors and walls and wrapped around pillars and piers carefully to ensure that the space looks clean and refreshed. Now, not only does Nancy have that needed barrier, but her space is free of debris and looks clean and new. Nancy won’t have the stress of future problems looming over her head any longer and she can even use her space for storage. 

 

There's a Foundation System for Every Problem in Three Oaks, MI

Shade was noticing some settling in his foundation and sagging in his floorboards, two problems that commonly go hand in hand. To restabilize the foundation our team came out and installed Helical Piers and SmartJacks. 

Sometimes after homes are built they can experience foundation settling if the soil under them expands and contracts substantially with weather conditions. This can cause a plethora of foundation problems including cracking and bowing walls, foundation shrinkage or expansion, and water in the basement. Helical Piers stabilize settling foundations by connecting the foundation of a home to load-bearing soil by drilling long piers into the ground under a home. The permanent solution is less invasive than it sounds and lasts a lifetime and more. SmartJacks support sagging floor joists and beams.  Floors above basements and crawl spaces are vulnerable due to the damp nature of the lowest floor. The SmartJack system is a permanent fix to these issues. It uses steel columns, threaded rods, and a solid base to address any problems your basement may have. Installing this system usually takes less than a day and it provides immediate stabilization.

Shade can go to sleep at night knowing his home is level and stable. He no longer has to worry about any further consequences that can come from letting unstable walls go unchecked in his home.

Finishing Off The System in Bridgman, MI

John started slowly when it comes to waterproofing, these systems can be overwhelming and expensive sometimes. If you can, it’s important to do what you’re comfortable with on your own time. John previously solved the most pressing problems first and then came back to waterproof the last wall. Our team completed the system with WaterGuard. 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 WaterGuard Port is also nearly invisible in your lawn when installed and isn’t an obstruction while mowing the lawn or hanging out in the yard. Now John is fully waterproofed and ready to go in his basement, putting any leaks behind him. 

Leveling a St. Joseph MI Driveway

This St. Joseph homeowner had cracks in the driveway that were splitting it in pieces. There was a separation in the middle as well making the driveway very uneven. We used PolyLevel to raise the sunken concrete slabs and NexusPro to seal the cracks. PolyLevel is a light weight injectable foam that goes under the concrete slabs. It is waterproof and stable so it won't react with the soil or be washed away. The driveway can be full load bearing once it cures which only takes about 15 minutes. NexusPro is a silicone based filler to seal the cracks in the concrete. It won't crack or dry out and it cures in about an hour!

Keeping Animals and Smells Out of a Crawl Space

This Three Oaks homeowner was getting cats in his crawl space during the winter and it was starting to smell. He wanted to get the area encapsulated to keep the odor and insects or pets that get in. We first laid down Drainage Matting which has dimples in it to direct any water to the waterproofing system he already had. On top of that, we installed the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier which is a thick durable liner similar to a pool liner. It keeps water vapor and humidity from passing through into the area as well as keeping out pests. Lastly, we installed the SaniDry Sedona which keeps dry air circulating throughout the space to dry out the crawl space.  This dehumidifier eliminates damp, musty odors by drying and filtering air and also filters mold spores, dust mite droppings, dust and other particles. By keeping the space dry and pests out, the crawl space is free from smells and mold.

Noticeable Water Damage is Resolved in St Joseph, MI

Linda had noticeable water damage in her space in the form of discoloration and weakening of beams and surrounding walls. She called our team to make sure no further damage occurred so our team ame out and installed WaterGuard 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 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. This way Linda will be able to repair what’s been damaged without worrying about having to repeat the cycle all over again as damage continues. She can move on and not worry about water flowing into her basement. 

Stabilizing Floors and Encapsulating a Niles Crawl Space

Makenna is looking to encapsulate her crawl space to block out the bugs, the soft wet floor, and the moisture. She also wanted the floor to be supported. We installed the Drainage Matting first which is a mat with dimples in it to direct water towards the sump pump. We then installed the CleanSpace Crawl Space Vapor Barrier to keep out water vapor, humidity, and bugs. We also installed SmartJacks to stabilize the floors and keep them at a level position. 

Drying Out a Crawl Space to Get Rid of Musty Smells

Chris had some musty smells coming from the crawl space and wanted it fixed fast. We installed the CleanSpace Liner to keep out pests, water vapor, and humidity. It helps to keep the space dry and odor-free. We also installed the SaniDry Sedona which is a dehumidifier that is perfect for small crawl spaces. This dehumidifier blows dry air continuously to keep the space dry, odor-free, and filters the air for mold or other small particles!  

Healthy Home, Happy Life in Three Oaks, MI

Thomas’s home was humid, damp, and filled with allergens. This becomes detrimental to residents' health especially if there are underlying respiratory conditions such as asthma. Thomas needs a system to clean up his air and help improve the living conditions of his home so our team came out and installed CleanSpace and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. 

CleanSpace is an uninterrupted vapor barrier designed to keep out any unwanted pests, moisture, and mold. This barrier restricts airflow and therefore makes controlling the temperature of the home much easier. CleanSpace is applied to the floors and walls and wrapped around pillars and piers carefully to ensure that the space looks clean and refreshed.

The SaniDry Sedona is more powerful than any other dehumidifier and drains automatically so you don't have to worry about emptying the water yourself. It will control the humidity and make sure to stop mold growth, kill dust mites, and make your whole house healthier. 

Thomas can be sure the air he’s breathing is healthy and won't contribute to the deterioration of his home in the long run. His crawl space is now dry and cleanly wrapped free of moisture issues.

Water Putting a Halt to Renovations in East Lansing, MI

Gary, the general contractor of a commercial building in East Lansing called our team because he noticed water coming up through cracks in the floor. There was enough water to make a stream towards the drain on the floor. He isn't sure how long this has been going on, but the water damage is pretty significant so our team came out and installed the WaterGuard drainage system and TripleSafe sump pump. 

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. 

Now Gary can continue his renovations and sell the building to a prospective business knowing he isn't passing on any problems.

 

Keeping Things Out of a Lakeside Crawl Space

Shannon had an entry in to her crawl space outside that did not keep things out from under her home. The entry was covered by bricks and plywood but she wanted one that locks, has a well, and keeps out mice and water. We installed the Turtl which is a crawl space access well and door. This system is made out of plastic that can hold up to the daily wear and tear and won't rot or rust! The door and well combined make an airtight seal to protect the crawl space and can even be locked for added security. With the Turtle, Shannon is looking forward to having a neater, more secure entry into her crawl space!

Getting a Saint Joseph, MI Pool Deck Ready for Summer

Micheal’s pool deck was experiencing settling and cracking. Not only does this mean trouble for the pool’s integrity and foundation, but it means dangerous obstacles around the pool that could cause people to trip. With a body of water nearby, especially if kids are coming over, you want to make sure your pool deck is flat so no one accidentally trips and falls into the pool. To make sure his pool deck was leveled back out permanently, ridding Micheal of any liability, our team came out and installed PolyLevel. PolyLevel injections are designed to fix sinking and cracking concrete slabs by bringing them back to their original level. This is achieved by using polyurethane foam. The foam expands and has a high density in order to raise the concrete. The process is simple and done by drilling small holes into the concrete and then inserting the foam into the holes. The foam is completely waterproof, minimally invasive, and lasts forever. Now Micheal can have guests over for pool days this summer without worrying about anyone tripping and falling into the pool or ending up in a dangerous situation. Stress free summer days are ahead.

Fixing a Leaking Eau Claire MI Basement

Rosa had water coming into her basement where the wall and floor meet. When the water does enter the basement, it streams in causing a lot of standing water. We installed the TripleSafe sump pump to keep the water out of the basement. It provides the home with 3 levels of protection even if there is a power outage or a pump fails. We also installed the WaterGuard drain system to collect the water that seeps into the basement and send it off the sump pump to be expelled outside the home. The drain is installed below the floor but out of the mud zone where it could clog. No need to worry about an ugly drain in your basement because after installation, the concrete is restored! 

Waterproofing and Foundation Repair Solutions

Christine recently sold her home to move into a Berrien Springs duplex that she owns. The unit she will be moving into has an unfinished basement with some water intrusion. She wanted a waterproofing system to keep out the water and keep the space dry. We also found some deviation in the wall when we were there to inspect the problem. She has no intention of finishing the basement but would like something on the walls to cover the foundation fix and where water was coming in.

For the water intrusion, we installed the WaterGuard drain system and a new pump to keep the water out. The WaterGuard is a perimeter drain that is installed under the floor but above the foundation to keep it out of the "mud zone" where the drain could clog. It collects water that seeps in the space and sends it to the sump pump where it is then discharged outside of the home. We also installed the SaniDry XP which is a basement dehumidifier that continuously blows dry air throughout the space to dry it out. The dehumidifier can be stored in a corner or closet to not interfere with the basement space. On top of drying out the basement, it filters the air for dust, mold, and other particles making the air cleaner too. 

For the foundation, we used CarbonArmor to secure the wall. CarbonArmor is made up of carbon fiber fabric straps, that are 10 times stronger in tension than steel, which are secured to the wall with a high strength resin. The solution installs quickly and will not impact the finishing of a basement. To cover up the wall and make the basement look nicer, we used BrightWall Basement Wall Panels. BrightWall is waterproof, washable, and acts as a vapor barrier for the basement. This prevents mold growth and rot but can also direct water seepage to the perimeter drain. The bright white color helps to maximize the natural light in the area and creates a cheerful, clean looking space! 

Crawl Space Encapsulation in Niles, MI

Makenna had a block foundation and no sump pump, a combination where if there is water present, is a recipe for disaster. She also has a dirt floor which lets lots of unwanted moisture into the home. This increases the chances of unwanted allergens and bad air quality as well as mold growth that has already started in Makenna’s basement. To help her encapsulate her space and keep out unwanted mold and moisture, our team installed CleanSpace and SmartJacks. 

CleanSpace is an uninterrupted vapor barrier designed to keep out any unwanted pests, moisture, and mold. This barrier restricts airflow and therefore makes controlling the temperature of the home much easier. CleanSpace is applied to the floors and walls and wrapped around pillars and piers carefully to ensure that the space looks clean and refreshed. 

SmartJacks support sagging floor joists and beams.  Floors above basements and crawl spaces are vulnerable due to the damp nature of the lowest floor. The SmartJack system is a permanent fix to these issues. It uses steel columns, threaded rods, and a solid base to address any problems your basement may have. Installing this system usually takes less than a day and it provides immediate stabilization.

Now Makenna can be assured that she has better air quality, a well encapsulated crawl space, and a supported foundation.

Stabilizing a Settling Home on a Bluff

John has a 1960's home that is built on a bluff and the back of the home has exposed foundation. The exposed wall had very noticeable and extensive stair step cracking in it. John wants to add a second level but needs to be assured that the home is safe and will stay standing before that project could begin. We used Push Piers to provide a permanent solution to the home settling problem. These piers attach next to the foundation footing with a heavy steel bracket and the soil is backfilled after the piers are installed. Push Piers stabilize the home but are also the best option to restore the home to the original position!

Creating a Safe Pool Area with Concrete Repair

Dennis had some slabs around his pool that were sinking and breaking apart. He wanted to get it fixed before his grandkids came over to swim since the broken, sunken slabs were trip hazards. Since some of the slabs are sinking, water collects in them and he is worried that will make the whole pool area worse. We used PolyLevel to lift and level the concrete around the pool. The foam is lightweight so it does not add pressure to the unstable soil, keeping it from settling more. PolyLevel is also waterproof so that it will not get washed out and cures in about 15 minutes. To seal the cracks and joints in the concrete, we used NexusPro Crack Repair. This sealant keeps water and debris from getting under the slabs and degrading them from below. The whole process can be done in one day so it is not an inconvenient fix for Dennis! 

Stabilizing a Crawl Space and Keeping it Clean

Sue S. was experiencing telltale signs that crawl space repair and preventative work were due. Sue is a Michigan native and a retired teacher with few hands around the house who could help her with repairs. Slopped floors and a constant creaking from her floorboards kept her from enjoying her loved forever home. After already providing a 3.5 ft dirt crawl space with much-needed support through the SmartJack system, our Foreman Randy prevented any further damage by fitting the crawl space with a CleanSpace lining. 

SmartJack systems are a great long-term solution for crawl space support. Steel beams attached to buried concrete anchor points are topped with brackets at strategic points to ensure the weak points of your first floor remain reinforced. All this work means nothing and more repairs will be needed if there is nothing preventing further complications. Cleanspace is an antimicrobial lining that affixes to the walls and floor to prevent one of the greatest risks to your home, mold. Installed in every crawl space, CleanSpace is the final measure that ensures your home remains dry and stable.

Rim Joist Insulation on Shelter in Battle Creek

Mr. and Mrs. Nordman take pride in their home and every structure on their lot. Having an emergency shelter can come in handy but sharing it with mold and mice can become a major stressor. Our foreman Bruce noticed that with a damp and weakening crawl space, there's little that the structure could shelter from. Mrs. Nordman's biggest fear came true when discovering that the shelter crawl space was providing a foster home for dangerous organisms like mold spores.

The simple and effective remedy our team took to give the Nordmans peace of mind was a multistep process that strips the environment of moisture, reinforces the supports, and ensures no future build-up takes place.

After removing the infected insulation, a heavy-duty dehumidifier dries the air and robs potential spores of a food source. After, a system of insulation was added to the Rim Joists and was placed at strategic locations to prevent new sources of moisture. The final touch is a CleanSpace Lining that covers the surface area of the crawl space. Besides providing a sterile environment, the lining provides a clean look to your crawl space and the security every homeowner deserves.  

 

Waterproofing a St Joseph Basement

Usha called us for a solution to the water problems in the basement. Water was coming up from the floor where it meets the walls and around the window due to the window well filling up after rain. We installed the WaterGuard drain system, a Window Wellduct drain, TripleSafe sump pump, SuperSump Plus, and the SaniDry XP to keep the basement dry and water out.

The WaterGuard drain is installed below the floor but atop the foundation footing to keep it from clogging. It goes around the perimeter of the space and collects the water that leaks in. The water that is collected then gets sent to the sump pump to be expelled outside the home. The Window Wellduct drain connects the base of the window well to the WaterGuard. It collects water that comes in through or around the window and installs quickly. The TripleSafe sump pump has three layers of protection to keep the water out of the basement even in cases of pump failure or a power outage. The SuperSump Plus goes on the other side of the basement from where the TripleSafe was installed. It is built to keep the basement dry for extended periods of time and it was installed with the back up battery system to keep water pumping out of the house if there is a power outage. Lastly, the SaniDry XP is a dehumidfier that can fit in a closet or corner to not take up space. It blows dry air continuously throughout the space to keep the space dry. 

Insulating a Saint Joseph Crawl Space

Mrs. Toth was not happy to see the signs of water damage in her home crawl space. She only knew when she noticed sloping floors and a gap between her walls and the ground on the first floor. Ayers's resident Foreman Bruce was able to help explain what these signs meant and what the best line of action would save her home and wallet the most grief.

Bruce prescribed a WaterGuard draining system as well as installing a CleanSpace lining. The WaterGuard system is installed in the basement floor as a way to divert access water that the sump pumps can not manage away from the home. this system is designed to work with the home's sump pump as a final failsafe against an unmanageable overflow of water. the CleanSpace lining is an antimicrobial barrier that deprives bacteria from an organic food source, preventing the buildup of mold and mildew.

Happy with her experience at Ayers, Mrs. Toth was relieved to learn all of our treatment methods are intended to be permanent.

Sealing Cracks in a Basement Wall

Steve wants to finish his basement but has a crack on a wall that goes from the top all the way to the floor. He said he has experienced water coming through the crack in the past so he was looking for a solution to seal the crack, keep water out, and something that won't impact him finishing the space. We used FlexiSpan Wall Crack Repair which is a flexible sealant made of waterproof open cell foam. This sealant is different than other crack fillers as it moves with the wall to the crack is always sealed for a permanent solution. FlexiSpan installs smoothly over the wall, neutral in color, and can be covered up with basement finishing products.

Waterproofing a Flooding Basement in Saint Joseph, MI

Aylin and David were fed up with the constant flooding in their basement every time it rained. They called in Ayers for help. After an inspection, our crew determined that they would need  the WaterGuard drainage system, a TripeSafe sump pump, and CleanSpace Wall System. WaterGuard is a sub-floor waterproofing system that keeps water away from your foundation and mud away from your drains. The TripeSafe sump pump utilizes three pumps to ensure access water is always being removed from your home. The second and third pumps are in case of emergency, so your basement can remain dry even when the power goes out. Finally, CleanSpace Wall System uses a thick plastic liner along basement and crawl space walls that pushed extra water toward the sump pump. All of these products working together will keep Aylin and David's basement dry for decades to come.

Stabilizing Coloma Floors

Ruth and Dave had spongey floors in their home that they wanted fixed. We used SmartJacks to stabilize the floors. They are made out of steel beams that are attached to the floor joists and have a solid foundation on the ground. They can be adjusted anytime to provide a permanent solution to keep the floors at the correct level and safe.

Foundation Support Repair in Coloma, MI

Joanna was excited to get started on creating a 2nd floor for her home. After the original contractors said the supportive works of the home weren't strong enough to support an extra floor.

 

Wanting the best contractor for the job, she contacted Ayers. Our resident foreman Blade was able to inspect the area and decided Helical Piers would be the best solution.

 

Helical Piers are a tool trusted by Ayers due to their non-intrusive nature compared to other foundational repair systems. The piers are long screw-shaped drives that are driven deep under the home at an angle. The drives keep going till they pass the weak soil and find new firm ground. The tops of the piers are capped with load-bearing caps that provide a flat surface for the home to rest upon.

Push Piers Give Coloma, MI Home Support for a Second Story

Joanna was referred to us by her contractor. She is adding a second floor to her home, but first needs additional support for the foundation. She called Ayers for an inspection and our crew determined that push piers would be the perfect solution for her home. 

Push piers are round steel tubes that help carry the load of the home. It has a bracket that is secured to the outside footing of the foundation and is driven into the soil below. The weight of the home is transferred from the unstable soil to the steel pier. 

Joanna was grateful to Ayers for being able to stabilize her home. She was also happy we could complete the installation in a timely manner so that her contractor can move forward with his work in adding a second story. 

WaterGuard Stops Water Intrusion in Stevensville, MI

Mary had been dealing with water issues in her Stevensville, MI basement for years. Water was coming up from the cracks in the floor, and even accumulated up to 2 inches when there were heavy rains. She finally called Ayers for an inspection and our crew determined she would need WaterGuard to keep her absent dry. 

WaterGuard is a sub-floor waterproofing system that collects water that leaks through the walls and keeps dirt away from the foundation. It is installed along the perimeter of the basement and on top of the footing of the foundation. Concrete is poured on top and regular flooring can be placed on top. 

Mary was so grateful to get this project taken care of. It was a huge weight off her shoulders, and the work done by our crew was great.

Ayers Waterproofs Summer Home Benton Harbor, MI

Robin and Caleb just bought their 1920s home on the banks of Lake Michigan a few days ago. The house is to be used for summers and weekends so the couple and their two young daughters can have fun and make awesome memories together. Immediately after moving in, they had to call Ayers. Their egress window had water coming through the bottom and there was about a foot of sitting water. After coming out for an inspection, our crew determined that they would need WaterGuard and BrightWall. 

WaterGuard is a sub-floor waterproofing system that collects water that leaks through the walls and keeps dirt away from the foundation. It is installed along the perimeter of the basement and on top of the footing of the foundation. Concrete is poured on top and regular flooring can be placed on top. BrightWall is the perfect solution for those who want to combine beauty and practicality in one. It is a rigid plastic covering that is completely waterproof and made of inorganic materials. This keeps the walls from becoming waterlogged and moldy like wood. The bright white panels reflect the light, maximizing lighting in the basement. 

Robin and Caleb were so happy to be able to get this taken care of before they were completely moved in. Now, all they have to worry about is having fun with their family and creating lasting memories on Lake Michigan.

Ayers Fixes Two Years of Water Damage in Baroda, MI Home

Ken has spent 25 years in his Baroda, MI home. He’s been away for two years taking care of his father. When he came back home, there was 2 inches of water covering his fully finished and furnished basement. He called Ayers for an inspection, and our crew determined that in order to solve the waterproofing issues, without ripping up Ken’s hard work from finishing his basement, we would need to install a second sump pump with exterior discharge line as well as WaterGuard. 

The TripleSafe sump pump system we installed utilizes three pumps in order to remove excess water from the basement. The second and third pumps are in case of emergencies so the basement can remain dry, even when the power goes out. The exterior discharge line is a drain installed leading to the low point of the property, sending water away from the home. Since the system is inside, there’s no dirt to clog it up and water is discharged effectively via the sump pump. Finally, we installed WaterGuard, a sub-floor waterproofing system that collects water that leaks through the walls and keeps dirt away from the foundation. It is installed along the perimeter of the basement and on top of the footing of the foundation. Concrete is poured on top and regular flooring can be placed on top.  

Ken was thrilled to be able to waterproof his basement without disturbing much of the finishing's. He was extremely satisfied with the Ayers crew and the work performed!

Waterproofing Job Eliminates Damp Basement in Bridgman, MI

Despite many preservative efforts to fix his damp basement, Patrick, a Bridgman homeowner, failed to find a solution. Patrick had repeated water problems, and his internal drainage system continuously got clay, resulting in rock build-ups. After six months of a local plumber's preservative effort to fix the problem, nothing seemed to work. Patrick was eventually unsatisfied with prior solutions and desired to find a solution that would keep his home dry 100% of the time. He finally called Ayers to find out about perimeter drainage options. An Ayers System Design Specialist went to Patrick's house to assess the problem. The team at Ayers determined a multitude of products that would be best. 

 

Ayers decided that installing two TripleSafe sump pumps into the basement would be the best course of action. The TripleSafe is a sump-pump system that utilizes three different pumps in the same sump-pump liner. The first pump, the lowest in the liner, typically does all of the work. If the first pump can't keep up or there is a failure, the second pump will kick on and begin pumping water. The third pump, hooked to an external battery, will kick on during a power outage and save the day! An electrical job was done to bring power to the pumps. Two outlets on two circuits were run next to the TripleSafes to operate the two bottom pumps. Thus, if a breaker trips on one outlet, the other will still function and continue pumping water. 

 

Ayers thought it would be crucial to install TrenchDrain. This system was installed in the floor around the perimeter of the basement's interior. This drain allows water to seep in and funnel toward the sump pump. Lastly, downspouts, pipes that drain water away from home, were installed to drain water out of the sump pumps and away from home. Thus, any water that tries to enter the house will no longer be a worry! 

 

Patrick was thrilled that he could finally find a solution that worked. He no longer needed to worry about water coming into the basement or any other problems that could have arisen.

Foundation Repairs Give Tenants Peace of Mind in Saint Joseph, MI

Jeff, a property owner who lived out of state, received a concerning phone call from one of his tenants. It appeared that Jeff's rental property was experiencing some serious foundation issues. The concrete steps leading to both main entrances were settling and had pulled away from the main structure of the home. In addition, the basement had stair-step cracks in the cement walls which indicated the home's foundation was worsening over time.

 

Since he was out of state, Jeff relied on our team to provide him with a permanent solution to secure his home's foundation. Once arriving on site, it was clear the basement needed additional support, so we installed our CarbonArmor® and GeoLock® Wall Anchor System to stabilize the walls. The CarbonArmor® is ten times stronger in tension than steel and was installed like a strap against the cracking walls. To ensure the wall remained upright, we also installed our GeoLock® Wall Anchor System made of galvanized steel to extend from inside the basement all the way through underground to the stable, hard-packed soil outside the home.

 

Lastly, we wanted to ensure the tenants had a level stairway to enter their home. We installed helical piers on both sides of the porch entrances to lift and stabilize the stairs. Jeff's tenants were pleased he invested in these foundation repairs and they have peace of mind living in the building again.

TripleSafe Sump Pump and UltraSump 4 System Work to Save Basement in Bridgman, MI

After noting some water issues were consistently causing trouble in his basement, Patrick made the right decision to call Ayers for some help. Our Ayers System Design Specialist let him know that installing our TripleSafe Sump Pump System in combination with the UltraSump 4 Battery Backup Sump Pump System would be the perfect solution to address this issue. 

 

The TripleSafe is made up of three sump pumps in total. The first pump will be the one doing most of the work, the second is there in the event the first fails or needs more help, and lastly we get to the battery-operated backup pump system. The UltraSump 4 Battery Backup Sump Pump System consists of an automatic switch that turns on the battery-operated backup pump if water rises above the AC pump operating range. It can remove up to 12,000 gallons of water on a full charge and even has an alarm system in place that sounds off when the backup pump turns on. 

 

Patrick is now assured that his basement stays dry with these helpful sump pump systems in place!

CleanSpace and Waterproofing Solution for Lakeside, MI Crawl Space

Adrian was looking to have his crawl space sealed and cleaned up. He let Ayers know what he was thinking and our crew decided to install CleanSpace along with our Drainage Matting and SaniDry Sedona.

 

First, with the CleanSpace System in place this will remove excess moisture that can turn into harmful mold or bacteria. This thick plastic liner runs along the crawl space perimeter keeping it dry and has a vapor barrier quality ensuring protection from that harmful moisture buildup. Then with the Drainage Matting, this consists of a dimpled mat that catches water coming through and lines the crawl space floor. Lastly, the SaniDry Dehumidifier is another layer of protection that removes excess water in the air and circulates the now dry air throughout the crawl space.

 

Adrian is happy with these systems in place, ensuring his crawl space remains dry and protected!

Utilizing Drainage Matting In Saint Joseph, MI Crawl Space

Rebecca and Eric were having water problems in their crawl space. After contacting Ayers and having their home inspected, they installed CleanSpace. However, while CleanSpace will eliminate moisture and stop water from coming in, it does not necessarily direct the water to a drain point. This is where drainage mats go into place, as these mats are installed between the CleanSpace liner and the ground. These mats have dimples that create channels for water to flow through. Thus, any water coming into the basement will flow behind the CleanSpace, funneling through the drainage mats to a sump pump. These mats are perfect for waterproofing as no water will pool and cause a problem.

Water Inside the Home

Peter found water in his basement but was unable to find a source. He contacted Ayers and had our resident foreman Bruce inspect the area. 

 

Bruce sealed the area with a CleanSpace lining, fitted the pipes with an IceGuard modification, and treated the air with a dehumidifier.

 

CleanSpace is an antimicrobial lining that is placed on every flat surface of a home's crawl space. CleanSpace provides a protective barrier between the home's vulnerable material and any possible moisture inside the home. 

 

Moisture in the home is a danger because it can invite microorganisms that consume organic material like wood (wood found in the support works of a home). If too much wood is degraded then the home's support is compromised and a major risk factor. 

 

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. 

Egress Window Installation in Niles, MI

Joe and his wife have lived in their 1962 Niles, MI home for the last 28 years. They plan on staying there as long as their health is good, and the neighborhood stays safe. The couple wished to install an egress window in the basement to increase the value of the home as well as to create a safer environment for their future grandchildren. They called Ayers for an inspection and out crew knew that this was a job for them. 

Egress windows from Ayers bring together safety and beauty in one. Building codes require that basement living spaces must have a large enough window to safely evacuate in case of emergency. Our windows have built-in steps and durable covers that hold up to 500 pounds. Because adding an egress window requires cutting a hole in the foundation, a window installation company is not the safest option. Ayers knows foundations and knows how to install an egress window properly. 

Joe was ecstatic with his experience with Ayers from start to finish. It's very important for egress windows to be installed by foundation professionals instead of a standard window company, and Joe knew he made the right decision. He even said that he'd be recommending Ayers to anyone in the area!

Herman called Ayers about getting an Egress Window to replace the small, standard basement window he had at the time. We had our customer care team set up an appointment for a time that worked best for him and we then began the installation process.

 

Building codes often legally require you to have an Egress Window so that in the case of an emergency, there is a quick exit available. The other benefits though being that they are larger which makes for a more inviting, open space with the natural light filling the room. This is why these windows are perfect if you're looking to finish your basement or add a bedroom down there.

 

Herman was happy with the final result and the way his Egress Window made his basement space feel larger!

Waterproofing Systems Take Care of Basement Water Leaks in Petoskey, MI

Rob was tired of messing around with DIY fixes he was attempting to implement himself in response to his basement leaks. He decided to call Ayers for professional help and after an inspection was complete, it was settled he could use our WaterGuard System and TripleSafe Sump Pump System. 

 

Now that he has WaterGuard, this is a sub-floor drainage system that will collect any water or dirt leaking in through his walls.

Patti knew she had to get the water intrusion in her basement tackled right away after these issues persisted over time. She decided to call Ayers for a professional waterproofing job and so we had our customer care team set up an appointment for a free inspection. From this inspection our System Design Specialists made the recommendations to install our WaterGuard System and TripleSafe Sump Pump System. With WaterGuard, this will collect any water coming in through her basement walls as this is a below-floor drainage system. This rests on top of the footing of the foundation and is installed along the perimeter of her basement. We pour concrete over the system to conceal it so when it dries it will blend with the floor. Then we decided her sump pump needed a more efficient replacement so we added TripleSafe. This system has three pumps and the second and third pumps are there to provide any necessary backup if the main pump fails. The last pump is even battery-operated which means it will turn on if the power goes out. Patti was so grateful to have these much needed waterproofing systems installed so she won't have to worry about any further water damage!

Helical Piers for Settled Foundation in Baroda, MI Home

Curtis was in need of piering that would take care of his settling foundation issues. He called up Ayers so we had a crew head over to his home for an inspection. Our System Design Specialists were then able to recommend our Helical Piers. This consists of helical plates welded to the pier shaft and these plates help to pull the pier into the soil during installation. This provides anchoring strength as the weight of the foundation or structural element is transferred to the pier. This solution is very versatile when it comes to stabilizing and restoring foundations. The piers are installed in the soil using our small construction equipment or hand equipment. This will prevent any further foundation settling and in many instances it can lift the home back to a level position. Curtis was very relieved after the pier installations now that his foundation issues are resolved!

Musty Drafty Basement Needs Waterproofing and Winterization

Debi was tired of her crawl space being damp and drafty in the winter and hot and humid in the summer, causing a musty smell throughout her home. She called Ayers to provide crawl space insulation. Our system design specialist determined that encapsulation and waterproofing would benefit the 90-year-old home's crawl space.

The appointment was set, and our contractors arrived promptly at the agreed time. The foreman began the improvement by laying drainage matting that will help direct any water out of the crawl space. They also added a rim joist, and finally, they laid a puncture-resistant, padded product to seal the crawl space, keeping the heat high and the energy bills low.

Flood-Free and Critter-Proof: Securing a Buchanan, MI Basement

A homeowner in Buchanan, MI, reached out for help after their basement had flooded twice in the last six months.

Concrete Repair for Safer Community Paths in Benton Harbor, MI

In a private community in Benton Harbor, MI, cracked and uneven concrete walkways posed a serious safety hazard, creating multiple tripping risks in commonly used paths. Concerned for the community's safety and seeking a long-term solution, the residents contacted Ayers for help.

System Design Specialist Zac developed a comprehensive repair plan, and Foreman Gabe P. led the installation. The team began with PolyLevel® concrete leveling, a high-strength foam injection that perfectly lifts and levels sunken slabs. Once the slabs were leveled, the crew applied NexusPro® crack sealant, a flexible, UV-resistant solution that fills and seals cracks to prevent water infiltration and future damage.

The result? Smooth, even safe paths for residents to enjoy and protect against wear and tear for years.
