Your Leading Experts in Foundation Concrete Repair & Basement Waterproofing in Midland County

Previous water damage had been putting pressure on Ted and Kathryn's foundation causing their basement walls to be pushed inwards. So they called our team and we installed CarbonArmor, a wall reinforcing system constructed to repair damaged and bowing foundation walls. Both of these problems are serious and will only get worse over time. Therefore CarbonArmor is used to fix your foundation walls by preventing inward movement and reducing the cracks in your walls. This system can easily be concealed for your basement to have a sleek, finished look.

Mary Jane's patio had sunk about 2-3 inches and the steps had also started to sink as well. So our team was called and we installed PolyLevel. PolyLevel is 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.

Janet had water leaking in through a wall that just recently has been rebuilt. That is not what you want to see after your brand new renovation. She and her contractor called our team to help. Our team installed the WaterGuard system along with IceGuard.

The WaterGuard 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. To make sure that all the water makes it out of the house, even in the winter, our team also installed IceGuard which will expel water even when it is frozen. 

Janet can enjoy her new renovations now with no worries of flooding or water damage to her home.

David’s home had bowing walls in the basement that he had growing concern about. If the walls on the bottom floor were not stable, what did that mean for the rest of his home? He called our team to get to the bottom of his problem right away. Our team came out and installed GeoLock Wall Anchors The Geo-Lock Wall Anchor System repairs walls that are sliding inwards, bowing, or buckling.

Shirley and her husband had a wet carpet smell in the basement a couple months ago and recently noticed wet carpet from water intrusion where the floor and wall meet. The basement is finished and Shirley and her husband have their son and grandchild coming to visit soon. They would be staying in a room in the basement but the water issue is making that less of a possibility. Shirley really wants the basement dry so that her family will stay.

We used the WaterGuard drain system to send water that comes in to the sump pump to be discharged. The drain is installed under the floor but above the foundation so it won't clog. The concrete is restored after the install so there is not an unsightly drain in the area. We also installed the DoubleSafe sump pump system to keep the water out of the basement. Lastly, we installed the SaniDry XP dehumidifier. This dehumidifier continuously blows dry air throughout the space to dry it out. It stands upright and can be stored in a corner or closet to not take up usable space. The dehumidifier not only helps to keep the basement dry but it also filters the air!

Michael moved in to his 1980s home about 4 months ago and the heating bill was absolutely outrageous. He suspected it was because of the lack of insulation in the crawlspace. He called Ayers for an inspection and his suspicions were correct. Our crew determined that rim joist insulation and crawlspace encapsulation with our CleanSpace Wall System would be the best solution for Michael to keep his energy costs down. CleanSpace is a moisture barrier that uses a thick plastic liner along crawlspace walls to keep them dry and last decades longer. Damp air takes more energy to heat and cool. Cutting down on the moisture in the crawl space, in turn, will cut down on how much it costs to heat or cool your home. Michael was extremely appreciative that he's now saving money by cutting down on these energy costs!

Dexter noticed cracking in his block foundation walls. This was a cause for concern so he contacted Ayers hoping to find a solution. Our resident foreman Blade was able to inspect the area and realized the earth around the wall was causing it to crack. To fix this Blade decided to install GeoLock Anchors.

Leo noticed curves in his basement wall and knew that it could not be a good sign. He contacted Ayers and had our resident foreman Blade inspect the area.

Blade confirmed the bowing in the walls and understood that the soil under the home's foundation had shifted. To fix this Blade installed a PowerBrace and Helical Piers on the home.

Justin's Midland, MI home was built in 1945 and had some previous foundation work done with a different company. Since then, he noticed  stair-step cracks visible from the exterior as well as separation where new foundation meets original foundation. He called Ayers instead of the company he originally used for an inspection. Our crew noticed several cracks in the foundation as well as two bowing walls in the basement. Our crew determined that Justin would need GeoLock Anchors to correct the shift in his foundation and prevent further movement. 

GeoLock Anchors permanently stop foundational shifting. The anchors have 3 parts. The first part is a plate on the interior of the foundation wall. A steel cable is drilled through the plate into the soil, directed away from the home. A second plate is anchored to the other side of the cable for maximum stabilization.

Justin was ecstatic with the installation by Ayers. He and his wife want to redo the kitchen, but couldn't do anything until the foundational issues were corrected. They can't wait to get on to more fun projects now that this is out of the way. 

Dexter and Marla's Midland MI home was built in 1941. The couple had a different company waterproof their basement about 30 years ago. Since then, their home has had significant bowing as well as vertical and horizontal cracks in the walls. Every time it rained, water would flood in. They called Ayers for a solution that would last. We came out to inspect Dexter and Marla's home and determined that they would need us to install GeoLock Anchors to correct their foundation problem.

Dexter and Marla were thrilled with the installation performed by Ayers Basement Systems! They can finally put their minds at ease knowing their home is sturdy and dry for years to come. 

Mike's crawl space had floor support beams that were sagging and starting to rot. Worried about this issue getting worse, he called Ayers. We had a crew inspect his crawl space so our System Design Specialists could make the best recommendation. SmartJacks were the solution our professionals suggested. SmartJacks are steel support columns meant for crawl space applications. They are held in place by a solid base in the floor and attached above to a steel supplemental beam. Mike can have the columns extended in the future for better accuracy over time. This system will lift the floors back to a level position and ensure his home is held up by a stable, strong solution. Now Mike won't have to stress about his floors sagging ever again!

Charlene was looking for a permanent resolution to the puddles of water that would form in the corner of her basement during heavy rains. She called Ayers for our waterproofing expertise, so we had a crew come to her home for a free inspection. We determined she needed our WaterGuard system. This sub-floor drainage system will collect the water or dirt seeping through the walls and direct it to the sump pump rather than the floor. It is placed on top of the foundation's footing to prevent clogging and runs along the basement's perimeter. To conceal the system, concrete is poured over the drain. Regular flooring can be installed over the top if she desires. The WaterGuard system will ensure her home stays dry and protected in the long run!

Terry knew his basement would be in trouble if he let the water intrusion continue without a waterproofing system. He called Ayers for these solutions, so we sent a crew out to the home. Our system design specialists determined from an inspection that our WaterGuard system would eliminate these troublesome leaks. This subfloor drainage system is installed along the basement's perimeter and will catch the water leaking through the walls. The water is then directed to the sump pump. The team finished the installation by pouring concrete over the drain to conceal it. Once dry, this solution will blend into the floor. Now Terry has a seamless and professional waterproofing system to stop these annoying leaks!

Theresa found water pooling in her basement and realized her sump pump failed. Overwhelmed and concerned with the issue, she decided to call Ayers. Our team of experts visited her house to assess the problem and recommend a solution. They decided to install the TripleSafe sump pump system. TripleSafe is designed to react to pump failure with a backup pump and a third, battery-powered pump for power outages. With her new TripleSafe sump pump system, Theresa is no longer worried about having a wet basement!

Dan knew waterproofing solutions were needed to ensure his old basement stayed dry. He called Ayers for professional assistance with this issue. Our system design specialists inspected the area and recommended our WaterGuard and TripleSafe sump pump systems. WaterGuard collects the water seeping through the walls in a subfloor drain placed below the basement walls. We pour concrete over the drain to conceal the system within the space. Water leaks are then directed to TripleSafe and eradicated outside the home. This system consists of three pumps that work together to keep up with high volumes of water. The last pump is battery-operated and meant to turn on during power outages. Dan is happy with the finished look!

Christine noticed moisture entering her crawl space and causing mold growth. She knew mold eats organic material and could cause structural damage to her home, so she called Ayers for help. A team of our experts visited her home and recommended installing EverLast doors. Crawl space doors are often constructed of plywood or similar materials that fail to eliminate moisture. The EverLast door is built with durable plastic that won't shrink, crack, or warp under certain conditions. Christine is ecstatic to have a dry, mold-free crawl space!
