The Best Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair Contractor in Cadillac, MI

Robert noticed water running into his basement and pooling on his floor. He wasn't sure why this happened or how to fix the issue, so he called Ayers. We sent a team of specialists to his home to examine his basement and recommend a solution. They decided the TripleSafe sump pump would be the best course of action. TripleSafe contains three pumps to prevent failure, including a battery-powered backup in case of power outages. Robert is happy he found Ayers and got his problem fixed!

Jesse knew the floor in his living room was slanted, and he couldn't tolerate it any longer. After researching his options, he called Ayers for help, so we sent our crew of experts to his home. They evaluated the space and recommended installing the SmartJacks supplemental support system. SmartJacks are a system of floor jacks hot-dipped in galvanized steel and zinc-plated to promote durability. The base of each jack is placed two feet below the surface, which reduces load-bearing stress significantly. Jesse loves his level floor!

Brian was concerned with the heat in his home when he realized the floor under his feet was freezing cold. He couldn't stand having cold feet, so he called Ayers to find a solution. We sent our crew of specialists to his home to evaluate, and they recommended installing the CleanSpace vapor barrier. Brian's feet were cold due to vents allowing cold air into his home through the crawl space. CleanSpace fully encapsulates the crawl space walls and floors and is antimicrobial-lined to prevent moisture entry and mold growth. Brian can't believe how much warmer his feet are!

Mary was concerned when her first-level floors began to slop so she contacted Ayers Basement for an inspection. Upon arrival, our foreman Evan was able to diagnose the issue, telling Mary that her foundation has begun to settle.

Evan prescribed a set of SmartJack piers that would reinforce the Supportworks. The ground surrounding the foundation became unfirm due to the amount of water collecting around the base of the home. To correct this issue Evan installed a TripleSafe sump pump, with three levels of protection against floods, to help control the amount of water around the home. Finally, he fitted the home with an IceGuard modification to ensure the pipes flow regularly, year-round.

Bob's bicycle store was experiencing uneven floors. Once it started to affect business, he contacted Ayers for a safe and permanent solution. Our resident foreman Evan was happy to inspect the building and found the soil had shifted.

To correct this problem, Evan and his team installed Helical Piers to re-stabilize the shop's foundation.

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. 

Bob noticed unsightly cracks in his home's driveway and wanted a clean fix. He contacted Ayers and had our resident foreman Evan inspect the area. Evan decided the best way to treat the concrete was by using PolyLevel.

PolyLevel is a spray foam polymer that expands and moves under cracked concrete. The polymer is waterproof and levels the ground as it spreads. It is important not to wait because Polylevel can only be sprayed at temperatures above 40 degrees. When the Winter comes not much can be done and the weather can make the damage worse. 

Cracking and sinking pavement can not only look ugly, but it also can decrease home value and become a tripping hazard.  Luckily, at Ayers Basement Systems, we are able to bring concrete back to its original position and prevent further moving of concrete slabs.  Using PolyLevel, we are able to provide a quick curing solution that is noninvasive and incredible stable.  PolyLevel works through making a small hole in the cement to fill the empty void under the slab with foam.  This foam has a very quick curing time and will bring the cement back up to the original position.  Once the slab is in the right position, the foam will harden to be driven on the same day.  

Every homeowner who has a crawl space probably dreads having to go down there or just avoids entering the space at all costs. But we have just the solution to make this a more accessible, usable space for you, plumbers, or anyone else who may have to enter your musty crawl space. We call this system CleanSpace. CleanSpace is fitted to your crawl space and attached at the walls and covers the entire floor as well. The material is made of a very thick plastic that is inorganic and waterproof so there is no chance of mold growth. CleanSpace can get rid of odor, it directs any water to the sump pump and keeps out critters. It really is a great system that will take all your crawl space worries away. Not to mention, its a bright, white color so it really lightens up the space and makes it more appealing to enter. 

Robert M. had a home built close to a lake and wanted his crawl space to be encapsulated. His home was built in 2000 and the walls were made of poured concrete. Due to his home being near a lake, our team of experts decided to install CleanSpace and a SmartSump sump pump.

Poured concrete walls allow water and moisture to seep through and enter the crawl space. The CleanSpace liner, made of plastic (an inorganic material), will prevent water and moisture from seeping  into the space. The SmartSump sump pump will pump out any water that gathers in the space from the concrete walls and pump it out.

In addition to CleanSpace and the SmartSump, we installed the Iceguard and the Lawnscape Outlet. The Lawnscape Outlet provides a place for the water to discharge, that gathers in the sump pump, away from the house. We want to make sure the water has somewhere to go. Iceguard is installed to make sure the water is still able to discharge when the discharge lines freeze in those cold winter months. It keeps the water from backing up into your crawl space.
