Your Local Marshall County, IN Foundation Repair Company

Paul empties about ten gallons of water a day from his basement. He has water in his basement walls and it has been entering his basement. He does have a sump pump that is working well so our team installed WaterGuard. WaterGuard is a basement drainage system created to keep your basement dry. Unlike many other drains, WaterGuard is installed inside your basement in order to avoid it being clogged. This drain 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.

Cara and Lee replaced their back porch with an inclosed sunroom a few years ago. Recently, the windows and doors have been sticking, the floors have been sagging, and cracks have appeared in the walls. So Cara and Lee called our team asking for help. The different issues they were experiencing are usually caused from settlement issues and so we installed helical piers. Helical piers stop the settlement and overtime bring the foundation back to its original level. The helical piers were installed deep into the soil underneath the foundation for a quick installation and permanent solution.

Rose has had water coming in for the last fifty years. She is tired of worrying about it so she called our team and asked us to waterproof her basement. We installed WaterGuard, TripleSafe, IceGuard, and SaniDry to prevent any further water intrusion. WaterGuard is a basement drainage system that unlike many other drains, is installed inside your basement in order to avoid it being clogged. This drain will catch any leakage from higher walls or floors before it reaches your basement floor. TripleSafe is a Sump Pump system that’s main goal is to keep your basement dry. It has three pumps within the single system in order to handle the highest pumping demands. IceGuard is a sump pump discharge line system that even when frozen,  allows water to leave. Lastly, the SaniDry XP Basement Dehumidifier drains the water automatically and never needs to be emptied. Also, it is ten times more powerful than typical dehumidifiers. Therefore, after the installation of these four systems Rose will never have to worry about dealing with water intrusion again.

Patricia had an old farmhouse and she wanted part of it sealed off. So she called our team and we installed CleanSpace, a plastic sheet material used as a vapor barrier to restrict all moisture, outside air, and pests from entering your crawl space. Not only does this system create 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. 

A customer had water intrusion issues in her basement so she called our team. Along with installing other systems we installed IceGuard. This system allows water to leave even when the discharge line is frozen. Therefore, this system prevents flooding even in freezing temperatures or when the snow is piled up high.

Paul and Cynthia Ann noticed their carpet was wet in their basement. So they realized they needed to waterproof their basement and therefore called our team. We installed WaterGuard, SuperSump and IceGuard to prevent any further water intrusion. WaterGuard is a basement drainage system created to keep your basement dry. Unlike many other drains, WaterGuard is installed inside your basement in order to avoid it being clogged. This drain will catch any leakage from higher walls or floors before it reaches your basement floor. The SuperSump Premier Sump Pump Systemwill alert you when water levels are too high and has an airtight lid to prevent any unwanted moisture or pests from entering. Lastly, the IceGuard Sump Pump Discharge Line System allows water to leave even when it is frozen.

The area around Sandi's pool is sinking so she 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.

Jerry Had some pooling water and noticeable water damage in his basement. He needed a waterproofing system so our team came out and installed the WaterGuard drainage system. 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. This system will help to make sure all water is caught to be drained out of the home. Then there will be no further water damage and no threat of compromising the foundation.

Tim and Maryann recently purchased this home for a summer cottage. When they bought it the inspection report showed that the floors were unlevel and the home was sloping about 3 inches towards one end. The previous owners had jacked up the center beam in the basement but that was not cutting it to Tim and Maryann wanted a solution to keep their home stable as well as restoring the floors to a level position, if possible. We used SmartJacks to stabilize the floors and the home. These steel posts attach to the floor joists and have a sturdy base at the floor. They keep the floors from moving any further and can even bring the floors back to the correct level. They are easy to install year-round and can be adjusted at anytime if needed so the home has a permanent solution to the problem!

Fran was searching for a better support system for her basement. She saw that Ayers offers foundation support help so she gave us a call. We had our customer care team set up an appointment for a free inspection and from this our System Design Specialists were able to conclude SmartJacks would solve her issues.

SmartJacks will provide strength and stability to where your home needs it most. Its solid base will provide a substantial foundation for the home to sit on so the home's weight will become evenly distributed. The steel beams and columns will provide strength so she won't have to stress about the safety of her home. 

Fran was grateful to ensure her home's foundational support!

Jennifer was on the lookout for new waterproofing systems that would finally put an end to the water intrusion that would arise in several areas of the basement. She decided to call our waterproofing experts at Ayers for a permanent fix. After conducting a free inspection of her basement, it was agreed that our WaterGuard System and TripleSafe Sump Pump System would take care of the water. WaterGuard is a drain that we place under the floor and around the perimeter of the basement. This ensures water that comes in through the wall is collected and directed to the sump pump we hook it to. Since her current sump pump was failing, we added TripleSafe which is a three-pump system that effectively keeps the water out. The first pump will handle most of the water, the second is there for backup, and the last pump is battery-operated for power outages. Jennifer was grateful for these professional solutions that now keep her home safe and clean!

Chelsea was hoping to replace her tiny basement windows with Egress Windows. She called Ayers for the job, so we began the installation process. Egress Windows allow for a safe escape in the event an emergency arises. Since the windows are much larger, this opens up the space more which creates a brighter, more attractive living area. Most basements end up feeling like a dark dungeon but with these windows, the space will become more inviting for guests or entertainment. They are especially perfect if you are looking to finish the basement. The windows will only benefit you in the long run, adding value to your home. They are waterproof and come with an exterior well, preventing water leaks. Chelsea was thrilled with the way these Egress Windows transformed her basement!

Amy's Michigan-style basement was built in the 1800s and for her family's safety, she knew that better foundation support was required. She called Ayers for our foundation repair expertise, so we sent a crew for an inspection. The team determined SmartJacks would provide the necessary support. We attached these steel support beams to the floor joists and rest the columns on a solid base in the subfloor. The steel columns are adjustable for maximum stabilization. This system can even lift the floors to a level position. Amy feels her home is much safer with the new addition!

Chuck realized water would seep into his basement when it rained heavily or snowed. He decided it was time to call Ayers for waterproofing solutions. One of our system design specialists inspected the basement and suggested our WaterGuard and TripleSafe sump pump systems to resolve these frustrating leaks. WaterGuard is an interior drainage system placed along the perimeter of the basement below the walls. This placement ensures the water coming through the walls during rain gets collected in the drain. From there, the water goes to the sump pump. We added TripleSafe, a three-pump system capable of keeping up with heavy volumes of water. The last pump is battery-operated. This pump will run even if the power fails. Chuck is feeling relieved now that his basement is well-protected from water damage!

We drove to Greg's Bourbon, Indiana, home to install our CleanSpace wall system. He was dealing with cracks in his block foundation that allowed water vapor to seep into the basement. Luckily, the durable plastic liner covers these walls and protects his basement from this frustrating issue in the future. Greg's basement is brighter and in much better shape for the long run now!

Paul knew the floor in his living room was slanted but didn't know how bad the problem was until he saw the support beams in his crawl space. He knew the problem would worsen if he left it alone, so he researched and called Ayers for help. Our crew of professionals visited his home and recommended installing SmartJacks. Store-bought floor jacks often fail underneath the pressure of the home, but SmartJacks are designed to last. Each SmartJack is hot-dipped in galvanized steel, zinc-plated, and has a two-foot base depth to reduce load-bearing stress. Paul is happy with his new floor!

Mary’s home in Culver, IN, was becoming a source of concern. Her crawl space showed signs of water intrusion and mold growth, and the lack of insulation made her floors uncomfortably cold. Wanting to protect her home from further damage and improve her comfort, Mary reached out to Ayers for help.

During the free inspection, our System Design Specialist identified the key issues and recommended a complete crawl space solution. To address the moisture and mold concerns, we installed Drainage Matting and CleanSpace, a durable vapor barrier that seals out water. A SaniDry dehumidifier was added to control humidity, while the SmartSump™ system provided reliable drainage. To combat the cold floors, we installed Rim Joist Insulation, preventing air leaks and improving energy efficiency.

With her crawl space now dry, insulated, and mold-free, Mary no longer has to worry about moisture issues or cold feet. She can enjoy her home with confidence, knowing it’s well protected for the future.
