Job Stories From Leelanau County, MI
Froth Pak and Clean Space Protect Circular Crawl Space

At Ayers, we enter many homes to fix their crawl space and basement problems. However, it’s not every day that we enter a home that’s completely round. The insulation in the crawl space of this cylinder shaped home desperately needed to be removed and replaced after chipmunks had made their way in and done damage.

Our team of professionals entered the space and applied Froth Pak spray insulation. This insulation can be methodically sprayed to seal up small and large holes, and since it’s inorganic and waterproof, there’s no risk of mold.

The last step of fixing up this crawl space was installing a CleanSpace liner. This sturdy multi-layer liner is permanently adhered to the walls, completely sealing off the home from the earth, helping to keep moisture and critters out.

High Water Table Causes Crawl Space Problems in Lake Leelanau, MI

Colleen S. from Lake Leelanau, MI suffered from water entering her crawl space when the water table was high. She said it got damp and moist, which can create problems upstairs. Moisture can move up through the floor and cause doors and windows to stick and paint to peel, along with simply creating an uncomfortable environment.

To remedy her problem, we installed one of our favorite products: the CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system. CleanSpace is a 20mm thick plastic lining that completely seals off crawl spaces from the elements surrounding it. No dirt, cold air, water, or moisture of any kind will pass through. As an added bonus, CleanSpace is also made with an anti-microbial property, preventing mold growth. 

Lake Leelanau, MI Crawl Space Transformed

Bryan S. of Lake Leelanau has a crawl space that used to get water in it when the water table got high. On top of that, it would make everything damp and moist. This said, Bryan gave us a call for a professional solution.

Our fix? The CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system, the SmartSump crawl space sump pump system and the SaniDry CX crawl space dehumidifier. 

We began by installing the CleanSpace system. CleanSpace is a 20mm thick plastic lining that entirely seals off crawl spaces from the surrounding elements. No cold air, dirt, or water will get through a layer of this material. And as an added bonus, CleanSpace is made with anti-microbial properties that prevent the growth of mold.

Next, we installed the SmartSump. The SmartSump works perfectly with the CleanSpace system, keeping the crawl space totally free of standing water.

Finally, we moved onto the SaniDry CX. This beast of a dehumidifier can collect up to 109 pints of water in a day without having to have the collection tray emptied. It's small size makes it easily placeable even in tight spaces.

This trio is like magic.

Dirty Crawl Space No More in Lake Leelanau, MI

Deb R. of Lake Leelanau, MI called us when she realized she had leaks in her crawl space as well as mold. 

Our fix? The CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system. CleanSpace is comprised of a 20mm thick plastic material that lines and completely seals off the crawl space from any surrounding elements.

WaterGuard Eliminated Intruding Water in Cedar, MI Home

This Cedar, MI property had water seeping into it through the wall and the homeowner was looking for a reliable waterproofing solution to fix the issue.

The WaterGuard perimeter drainage system was installed in this home to collect intruding water and discard it into the home’s sump pump. The specialized drainage pipes were installed underneath the flooring at the base of each wall so water entering the home could easily drain into the system. The excavated flooring was restored with concrete fill and an inspection port was installed on the system to give us easy access to the pipes if ever needed.

CleanSpace in Cottage Crawl Space

Diane C. of Northport, MI has a small crawl space in her cottage. This makes for a good home for little critters as well as water when the water table is high. This said, she gave us a call in hopes of finding a way to keep the crawl space clean.

Our solution? The CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system. CleanSpace is a 20mm thick plastic lining that completely seals of the crawl space from outside elements. No cold air, water, animals, dirt, or moisture will get into the crawl space. And as an aded bonus, CleanSpace is made with anti-microbial properties that prevent mold growth. 

Standing Water in Basement of Northport, MI Home

Anne F. of Northport, MI had standing water in her basement. Standing water can cause intense humidity, peeling paint, sticking doors, and mold growth in a basement. Thus, Anne gave us a call.

Our fix? The SuperSump premier sump pump 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.

Anne, say goodbye to standing water and say hello to a clean, dry basement. 

Water in Crawl Space at Lake Leelanau Home

Edward W. has a home in Lake Leelanau, MI that is subject to a high water table. Because of this, Edward had a good amount of standing water in his crawl space. Having water underneath a home like that can cause problems: musty odors, sticking doors and windows, and asthma. This said, Edward gave us a call.

We installed one of our favorite products: the CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system. CleanSpace is a 20mm thick plastic lining that completely seals off crawl spaces from their surrounding elements. No dirt, cold air, water or moisture is able to pass through this heavy duty material. And as an added bonus, the CleanSpace system is developed with anti-microbial components that prevent mold growth. 

When it comes to crawl space encapsulation systems, you can't get much better than this. 

Wet Basement No More in Lake Leelanau, MI

Kerri K. bought a home in Lake Leelanau, MI and came to find out there were water and general moisture issues in the basement. This can cause serious problems in a home, so Kerri gave us a call for a professional and long-term solution.

We installed one of our most dynamic duos: the SuperSump premier sump pump system 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. Because of the level the drain is at, the WaterGuard drain can catch all the water that enters the basement. Once this water is collected, is it redirected to the sump pump to be pumped up and out of the home. The sump pump, in this case, is the SuperSump.

These two systems work in perfect harmony to keep Kerri's basement dry, even in the heaviest rainstorms. 

Damp Crawl Space Rejuvenated in Northport, MI

Bill P. of Northport, MI has had a very damp crawl space for quite some time. Dampness underneath a home like this causes lots of problems in the home itself, such as sticking doors and windows and peeling paint. 

To remedy this issue, we installed our patented CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system and SmartSump crawl space sump pump. The CleanSpace is a 30mm thick plastic lining that completely seals off the crawl space from the surrounding elements. This means that no dirt, water, cold air, or moisture will be able to pass through the material. And as a bonus, CleanSpace is produced with anti-microbial properties that prevent mold growth. 

The patented SmartSump crawl space sump pump is small and compact, yet more than efficient. This little guy does a great job at keeping all the water out of the crawl space so you don't have to. 

Constant Leaking Basement in Suttons Bay, MI

Richard S. of Suttons Bay, MI has a basement that started leaking last spring but began to leak constantly afterward. This can create a serious problem -- a problem that leads to sticking doors and windows as well as peeling paint. Thus, Richard gave us a call for a professional fix.

We installed the dynamic duo of waterproofing solutions: 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 French drain rests below the basement floor but above the foundation footing, collecting water that enters the basement from the walls. After this water is collected it is redirected to the TripleSafe sump pump to be pumped up and out of the home.  

CleanSpace Installation in Northport, MI

James S. of Northport, MI has a crawl space that was bear, allowing for water, moisture, critters, and cold air to enter. This caused adverse effects to the home itself, so James reached out to us for help.

We installed our CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system for this job. CleanSpace is a 20mm thick plastic lining that completely seals off the crawl space from its surrounding elements. This means that no water, dirt, cold air or worse can get into the crawl space. And as an added bonus, CleanSpace is made with anti-microbial properties that prevent mold growth.

Wet Basement No More in Northport, MI

Lois B. of Northport, MI had had problems with water in her basement for years and was sick of it. Water in a basement can cause peeling paint, sticking door and windows, and asthma. This said, Lois gave us a call and we gave her a professional solution. 

We installed two of our best waterproofing products: the SuperSump premier sump pump system and the WaterGuard French drain system. The SuperSump is 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 drain rests below the basement floor and above the foundation footing -- perfect positioning to catch all the 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 home. 

Waterlogged Maple City, MI Crawl Space

This customer complained about their crawl space always being covered with water. Their well, pump, and plumbing are exposed and they would like for it to be secured and insulated before winter hits and the pipe freezes. to solve this issue, our team installed the CleanSpace Liner to prevent any moisture from entering the space. The CleanSpace Liner keeps the moisture out (especially in the winter months) to prevent freezing, and gives the crawl space a much cleaner look and area to navigate.

 

In crawl spaces, we want to prevent any moisture and outside air from seeping in. These elements provide the perfect opportunity for mold to grow in your crawl space. Vented crawl spaces can also increase your energy bills by allowing cool air into your home, which is a huge no-no. Ayers Basement Systems recommends installing the CleanSpace vent cover. These are made of plastic so they will not rot or rust and will permanently seal the air out and insulate your crawl space.

CleanSpace Technology Upgrades Leland Crawl Space

A homeowner in Leland called us about his wet crawl space. If you don't know a poorly taken care of crawlspace or basement is bad for your whole house, making the air less sanitary, jacking the prices you pay for air/heat, and just not being safe to live in. We went to this homeowners property and gave him a free estimate. After the inspection we installed our advanced CleanSpace technology.

 

 CleanSpace is a 20 mil thick plastic liner that fits the crawl space to completely seal the home from the earth. Polyester cord reinforcement allows for a lot of durabilities, to make it last longer than the home will. This liner also contains an antimicrobial additive to prevent mold. Now, this homeowner will never have to worry about a wet and unsafe crawlspace ever again.

A Leland, MI Basement Receives a Waterproofing Makeover

We received a call from Kathy, a homeowner in Leland, MI who began observing water seepage through the poured walls in her basement. Being the smart person that she is, Kathy made the decision to address this water concern before it began to worsen. We diagnosed the water issues she was facing in her basement and installed WaterGuard to resolve the problem. WaterGuard was installed along the home's footing, beneath the concrete, the installment collects water along the base of the perimeter walls and safely directs it to the sump pump for discharge from her home. In addition, to supplement the WaterGuard, we installed the TripleSafe sump pump system. TripleSafe is a safeguard feature that includes the use of three pumps to ensure this basement will stay dry, even in power outages and severe weather events. In the case of heavy water or primary pump failure, the second and more powerful pump will kick in, if there is a power outage the battery powered UltraSump will take over. To complete Kathy’s basement makeover, we installed the SaniDry XP, a high-performance dehumidifier and filtration system. In Kathy’s basement, the SaniDry will help prevent mold and reduce musty odors, giving her dry and healthy air. With this complete system in place, Kathy should rest assured that her wet basement days are over.

Our Leland, MI Friends Invited us Back to Their Home for a CleanSpace Transformation

Tom and his daughter Julie, our good friends from Leland, MI were having Smart Jacks installed. While on the job site, our installation crew members recommended that Tom & Julie also consider having a CleanSpace encapsulation system installed. They stated that they needed some additional time to contemplate this large decision. A few months later they called us back and informed our team that they were highly satisfied with our previous work, and they wanted to seek the CleanSpace transformation. We returned to Tom & Julie’s home and installed our patented CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system in their crawlspace. The CleanSpace encapsulation product is a 20mm thick plastic lining that entirely seals off the crawl space from the elements it faces below. With our CleanSpace encapsulation system in place, we turned this cranky old crawlspace into a thing of beauty.

Lastly, this system is totally automatic so the customer won’t have to worry about when he should turn it on or off.

Waterproofing a Zeeland, MI Basement

This homeowner found a leak in the finished basement once all the snow melted in the spring. We went to have a look and had the perfect solution to keep water out of their basement. We started with installed FlexiSpan which is a crack sealant made with open cell foam and it is waterproof. It is flexible and designed to move with a wall so the crack is always covered. The sealant installs smoothly over a wall so it can be covered by a basement finishing product. We also installed the EverLast Basement Window. These windows are designed to replace rotting, outdated steel and wood framed basement windows. They are properly fitted to prevent leaks, have a clean finished appearance, energy efficient, and they help to add natural light to your space!

Crawl Space Encapsulation in Suttons Bay MI

Ed contacted us to look at his crawl space and see what could be done with it. He was concerned about the dampness and musty smells but didn't know what the options to fix the issues were. We had just the solution for him! First we laid down Drainage Matting that has dimples in it which allow for the flow of water under the liner and directs the water to the sump pump system. We then installed TerraBlock Crawl Space Floor Insulation which includes a vapor barrier that keeps moisture from making its way up through dirt, stone, or concrete crawl space floors. On top of the TerraBlock, we installed the CleanSpace Liner. CleanSpace is a thick durable liner that prevents water vapor and humidity from passing through. It also protects your structure from mold and rot since it keeps the area dry. By sealing the crawl space, you also keep away odors and allergenic mold spores that would otherwise rise up through the floor and into your home. Lastly we installed SilverGlo Crawl Space Wall Insulation which reflects heat back into your crawl space for ultimate energy savings. 

The Best Drain for Iron Ochre in Omena, MI

Lew Chamberlain, CEO of the West Michigan Whitecaps, was having trouble with Iron Ochre disrupting his drainage system, as well as just unwanted moisture in his space. Iron Ochre is a byproduct of iron bacteria and is commonly found in Michigan basements with unwanted moisture. 

Our team came out and installed our WaterGuard Iron Ochre System. The WaterGuard drain will catch any leakage from higher walls or floors before it reaches your basement floor. The drain is installed inside and has a removable cover making it easy to clean out or flush out any deposits of Iron Ochre. They also installed the DoubleSafe Sump Pump System and IceGuard. The Double Safe Sump Pump System has two pumps, one pump is for everyday use, and one pump is for larger than average volumes of water. This system can pump out ½” solids making it perfect for homes with Iron Ochre present. IceGuard makes sure water is expelled from the house in freezing temperatures. This ensures that homeowners do not have to worry about frozen water blocking the pipes and drainage system.

Lew is a busy man and he does not have time to worry about what is going on in his basement. With these systems, he was one less thing to worry about. 

Keeping Moisture Out of This Northport Crawl Space

William wanted to remove the water vapor/moisture that was in his crawl space to protect his home. He had a vapor barrier and a dehumidifier but the dehumidifier was not able to pull all of the moisture of of the air to keep the space dry. We installed the SaniDry Sedona and the SmartSump to keep the area dry and give William that his home was safe! The SaniDry Sedona has a small size so it easily fits in the crawl space and keeps dry circulating throughout the space to dry it out. The SmartSump is designed for crawl spaces and drains the water that the SaniDry sends to it out of the home. 

Encapsulating a Northport MI Crawl Space

Joe was interested in having his crawl space encapsulated. This home was a rental home up north and the home he stayed at occasionally. We installed the Drainage Matting in case any water ever got into the space, the dimples in the mat would direct water to the sump pump.  We then installed the CleanSpace liner which is a thick durable liner similar to that of a pool liner. This lining keeps out pests, humidity, and water vapor to keep the space dry and clean!

Keeping Moisture Out to Protect the Home's Structure

Kathy wanted the moisture and water out of her crawl space. She had noticed mold in the area and by getting rid of the moisture she can protect the structure from rotting. We used CleanSpace liner to encapsulate the space and keep out humidity, pests, and water vapor. The liner is thick and has a mold-resistant additive that will not support mold growth. We also installed the SaniDry Sedona to filter the air and keep the space dry! 

Waterproofing a Summer Lake Home

This lake front summer home was having water issues in the basement so Darryl called us for waterproofing solutions. We used WaterGuard to collects the water that was leaking in and keep it out of the home. We also installed a new sump pump, the TripleSafe. This sump pump has 2 pumps and a battery back up system to keep water  pumping outside of the home even in cases of pump malfunction or a power outage. Lastly, we installed the SaniDry XP dehumidifier to keep the space dry. This dehumidifier can be stored in a corner or closet so it is not taking up usable space. It circulates dry air throughout the space to dry the basement while also filtering the air for mold or other small particles.

Reversing the Settling of a Block Foundation

Gail lives out of town and is looking to remodel. Not happy when her contractor informed her about the foundation of her home cracking, she decided to contact Ayers Basement Systems to find the quickest solution. When our resident foreman Evan arrived on sight he was able to diagnose the issue and find a system that offered the most cost-effective and permanent solution.

 

Evan Used Helical Piers to correct the foundation of the home. He and his team installed the piers by digging the perimeter of the home and driving screw-shaped steel beams at an angle deep underneath the home, past the weak soil, and into firm ground. The tops of the piers are capped with concrete blocks that the entire home is placed on, creating a new foundation for the home to permanently rest. 

Ayers Keeps Squirrels Out of Northport, MI Home For Good

Sang and Molly have a few homes they own and rent out. Their Northport, MI property had a musty smell throughout the home as well as squirrels getting in through the basement. The couple had pest control come out only to report that the foundation was not properly sealed, leaving several points of intrusion for the squirrels. They called Ayers for an inspection and our crew determined they would need rim joist insulation to seal the foundation correctly as well as a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to get rid of the musty smell throughout the house. 

The rim joist insulation will properly seal the foundation so that nothing can get inside, whether it be water or a squirrel. The SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier automatically removes up to 100 pints of water a day from the air in the home’s basement. This system circulates the now dry air through the basement and automatically removes the leftover water so you don’t have to.

Sang and Molly were ecstatic to be able to get these issues taken care of. They want to provide the guests of their rental homes with an enjoyable stay. Thanks to Ayers, that is now possible!

Helical Piers Save a Settling Foundation in Suttons Bay, MI

Gail was going through the process of gutting and remodeling her home. One of the issues she had to address was the foundation. To do so, she contacted Ayers, and an inspection of her home was conducted. The team at Ayers concluded the foundation of the house had settled  2 inches causing cracks in the foundation. A perfect solution awaited Gail's problems: the Helical Piers System!

 

Helical Piers utilize steel shafts drilled into the ground using Helical blades. The blades sit on the bottom section of the pier and are drilled down until load-bearing soil is met. The pier attaches to the home's foundation, permanently stabilizing it! Gail was thrilled the home was permanently stabilized, and her foundation was level!

Leveling out a Sinking Sidewalk in Omena, MI

When Susan visited her family cottage recently, she noticed her sidewalk settling. Concerned her family could trip over this hazardous area, she called Ayers for concrete repair solutions. PolyLevel is our best offer to relevel the sinking concrete. With this solution, small holes get drilled into the slabs, and foam gets injected into them. Next, the concrete is lifted and leveled, and we fill these holes with concrete. To fill any cracks, we inject NexusPro joint sealant. With the sidewalk smooth and even, Susan's family is assured of their safety when using this pathway to their cottage!

 

Leaky Basement in Empire, MI, Saved by TripleSafe Sump Pump

Bob knew the sump pump in his basement had been there forever and needed to be replaced. After the last storm, he found water leaking into his basement and called Ayers to learn about waterproofing solutions. We sent our crew of experts to his home to assess the situation. They decided the best replacement for Bob's old sump pump was a new TripleSafe system. TripleSafe is a three-pump design containing a primary, backup, and battery-powered pump to prevent failure, even during power outages. Bob loves being worry-free about basement leaks!

Crawl Space Encapsulation in Glen Arbor, MI

Patricia noticed a musty smell wafting through her home but wasn't sure where it was coming from. After searching her house, she found a very wet and moldy crawl space. She called Ayers to learn about our waterproofing solutions and we sent a team of experts to evaluate and recommend a solution. They decided the best plan would be installing the CleanSpace vapor barrier. CleanSpace is constructed of antimicrobial-lined material that is designed to prevent mold growth and is applied continuously to the walls and floors to ensure no moisture will penetrate the barrier. Patricia can't believe how great her house smells!

Encapsulating a Dirt Crawl Space with CleanSpace in Cedar, MI, Home

Moisture is a common occurrence in unprotected dirt crawl spaces, so Dara called Ayers for encapsulation. Our crew recommends CleanSpace for this issue as it will provide an airtight, waterproof seal from outside moisture. Its vapor barrier prevents damp soil from invading this area, creating a habitable environment for mold or bacteria. We installed the heavy-duty liner on the crawl space floor and walls. Now, Dara's crawl space is in better condition and will remain protected from mold and water accumulation!

Richard found excess water pooled in the middle of his basement floor and worried his old sump pump had failed. He wasn't sure how to remedy the issue on his own, so he called Ayers for assistance. We sent a team of specialists to his home to evaluate and recommend a solution. They suggested replacing the old sump pump with a brand-new TripleSafe system. TripleSafe includes three pumps: a primary, a backup, and a battery-operated pump in case of power outages. Richard is happy to have a new system!

Cedar, MI, Crawl Space Encapsulated by CleanSpace Vapor Barrier

David noticed a musty smell wafting through his vents and assumed it must be coming from a dead critter in the crawl space. He searched his home and the crawl space but couldn't find the source of the smell. After researching online, he called Ayers to learn about our waterproofing solutions. We sent a team of specialists to his home, and they recommended the CleanSpace vapor barrier. CleanSpace is designed to encapsulate the crawl space to deter moisture and smell entry. It's also lined with antimicrobial material to prevent mold growth, protecting the wooden support beams beneath the home. David is happy to breathe freely again!
