Dowagiac, MI Insured Foundation Repair & Basement Waterproofing

The Bennetts noticed that their summer hangout patio had sinking and cracking concrete slabs. Worried about the expenses and inconvenience of a full replacement, they turned to Ayers for a solution. Enter PolyLevel: a swift and effective polyurethane foam injected beneath the damaged concrete to seamlessly lift and repair the slab, erasing any unsightly cracks in the process.

With the expertise of the Ayers team, the project was swiftly underway and completed within a single day. Now, the Bennetts can once again host barbeques for friends and family without worry.

Patrick M. was beginning to see some wall failure happening in his basement. His basement walls are made of cement block and, as we all know,  they inevitably begin to crack. One wall was bowing at the center with some cracks that were both vertical and horizontal. Luckily, there was no water or moisture coming through the cracks in the wall. This was an enormous headache for Patrick and his family because they just recently moved in. Lucky for him, the Ayers team found him a resolution. We installed our CarbonArmor system. CarbonArmor is best used if they is little to no access to the outside of the home and if the walls are bowing only at the center. The straps reinforce the basement walls and resist any further bending.  CarbonArmor proves to be the best option because it is ten times stronger than concrete, has a low profile design allowing it to be installed in tight spaces, and even if your wall is bowing it still adheres tightly to the wall to reinforce it.

This Dowagiac, MI home had water entering along the northwest corner of the basement. The home had a sump pump, although water was unable to make its way to the system unless a significant accumulation occurred.

We installed the WaterGuard system to collect the intruding water and carry it to the sump pump to be discarded from the home. Specialized drainage pipes were installed underneath the flooring around the interior perimeter of the basement in order to collect the water, rather than allowing it to flow out onto the floor. The flooring was excavated in order to place the pipes, but we made sure to restore it with concrete fill- so its like we were never even there!
