After buying their house, Lydia and her husband were advised to get work done in their crawl space. So they called our team and asked us to install a vapor barrier in their crawl space. Our team installed CleanSpace, a plastic sheet material used as a vapor barrier to restrict all moisture, outside air, and pests from entering your crawl space. Also, we installed IceGuard a sump pump discharge line system that even when frozen allows water to leave. Lastly, we installed the SaniDry XP Basement Dehumidifier which never needs to be emptied because the water drains automatically. Also, it is ten times more powerful than typical dehumidifiers.

The concrete slab leading into this Zeeland, MI garage had sunk about 2" on one side and about 1.5" on the other. Using PolyLevel, we were able to lift the slab back into its original position. PolyLevel is the process of injecting high-density polymers into voids beneath the slab through tiny holes drilled in the slab. The voids are filled and the slab is lifted. The holes are then patched and the seams are filled with a joint sealer to help prevent further issues with sinking slabs.

Howard needed a new sump pump. His had been unreliable, causing water to leak in several times. It was unable to keep up with the amount of water two times in the past year.
Ayers Basement Systems installed a Zoeller sump pump with the parts necessary to help it run and function efficiently, all the time.
Howard's home will no longer flood with water because the pump will be able to safely drain it. The whole project was completed in a day, and now Howard can rest assured his home won't suffer from water damage.
Ken and Eileen needed a solution to their damp, musty basement. They wanted a dry, usable space that they wouldn't have to worry about flooding or being succumbed to moisture damage.
Ayers Basement Systems was able to install a full waterproofing system for the couple. We installed a SuperSump kit with TripleSafe liner and UltraSump backup. We also installed a WaterGuard drainage system and supplemental beams to keep the basement foundation strong and stable.
The couple can now utilize their basement however they please without the fear of their belongings being damaged by water or moisture.
Linda is the proud owner of a cottage in Holland, MI. The large sidewalk connected to her home is slanted, causing water to pool toward both the front and back of her home. Eager to preserve the livelihood and history of her beloved home, she need a permanent concrete repair solution.
Linda decided to reach out to Ayers Basement Systems. After consulting with a knowledgeable sales representative, Jason, she decided PolyLEVEL would be the perfect solution for her sinking concrete.
Being the busy woman that she is, she wanted a quick response and fast and efficient results. PolyLEVEL would be applied surrounding the house, being completed in several stages. Ayers began the project on 5/18 and finished it 10 days later.
The PolyLEVEL method not only raised the sidewalk back to its original position, but it also firmly stabilized the concrete slabs all around Linda's cottage. There were no more gaps between her home's foundation and the concrete beneath it, and the water would no longer slope towards her home or yard. PolyLEVEL made a drastic difference for Linda.
Our customers called when the "all-purpose room" they'd added onto their house started sinking. All of the telltale signs were visible upstairs, including cracks in the walls and ceiling that indicated an issue with the foundation.
Upon entering the crawl space, we found that many of the wooden support beams were rotting, rendering them pretty useless when it came to structural support.
We reinforced all of these failing beams with new galvanized steel beams, and then installed SmartJack support posts to provide reliable support and structural integrity to the side of the crawl space that was sinking.
Words can’t explain how happy we are to now offer Shotcrete services. Our new favorite toy that shoots concrete out of a hose has been keeping the production crews busy ever since it arrived. Here’s the story of customers who, after hearing about the new service, asked that Shotcrete be used for a project they had already scheduled.
Randy and Jean had already faced their fair share of moisture problems in their Holland, MI home. The garage had a few leaks in the past and, as a result, the floor was damaged. After fixing up the garage floor, Jean and Randy realized something they hadn’t thought of before: their storage unit, which sits directly below the garage, was also probably damaged from the leaks. Sure enough, checking on the storage room confirmed that the ceiling had taken quite the beating. They were sure that the water damage would threaten the support beams in the storage unit and the structural integrity of the house as a whole.
A meeting with our system design specialist resulted in the couple choosing to patch up the affected areas with our CarbonArmor system, a technological marvel itself that is used by the Department of Defense and aerospace engineers. The crew was all set to go when they received another call from Jean asking if the new Shotcrete would be a viable option for the job. After some consideration and a few talks with Randy and Jean’s system design specialist, the crew packed up the Shotcrete machine and headed out. Once a new ceiling frame was completed, the crew sprayed on Shotcrete across the storage unit. With a new concrete ceiling, Randy and Jean won’t have to worry about their foundation again.
If you’d like to know more about the revolutionary Shotcrete, check out this informational blog explaining the process.
Jim and Lonnie were surprised when they noticed that their attached garage looked like it was pulling away from the house. They weren’t exactly sure what was going on, but they had also seen a large vertical crack on the inside wall of the garage. They suspected that the problem was with the footing of the garage, but they didn’t want to dig it up to check. So they called a company who would do it for them.
Our crew went to Jenison, MI and got right to work on lifting the tipping garage. The crew had determined it was only the front corner of the garage that had started to sink and caused the tipping appearance of the garage. The first step to solving the problem was raising the foundation walls with the piering system. They put 3 different helical piers on the corner, one on each wall and one directly at the corner. The piers were driven into deep, untouched soil and then attached to the foundation. This way Jim and Lonnie's garage has a much more stable base. The crew then lifted the actual concrete floor up with a PolyLevel injection. PolyLevel is a waterproof foam that replaces sunken soil under concrete slabs. The foam expands and fills the voids left by the soil until the slab reaches a leveled height with the rest of the floor. After the two part project, Jim and Lonnie’s foundation was back to being completely upright.
When we received a call from Greg, the realtor of a Spring Lake, MI home, he was in desperate need of help. He was eager to sell the home that he was representing for his company, but during his inspection, he discovered a few problems with both the crawl space and basement. Before hiring Greg, the previous owners had tried to repair it themselves but were unsuccessful. The block walls in both areas had large horizontal cracking running across the center and had shifted inward a full inch. The inward shift was caused by groundwater putting pressure on the walls. Not only had it caused the walls to bow, the groundwater was also seeping in and threatening the crawl space. With no time left to wait for repairs to be made to the crawl space, Greg gave us a call for a permanent solution before the home was sold.
The biggest concern for the crew was installing a product that would stop the bowing walls. Bowing walls can threaten the entire foundational integrity and could cause the walls to completely collapse. To solve the problem, our crew used one of our most innovative systems: the Carbon Armor system. It’s the same product used to reinforce bridges and bomb shelters. The Carbon Armor straps were attached to the wall with a sticky epoxy that will eliminate the horizontal crack on the basement walls. Once the basement walls were repaired, the crew moved on to the crawl space. Using the CleanSpace vapor system they were able to prevent water from passing through either the dirt floor or cracked crawl space walls. Greg's crawl space and basement are both fully protected.
After fixing the bowing wall in their basement with the PowerBrace system, in hopes that it would not only address the structural problem, but prevent water from entering their basement. While the wall was steadied and straightened, Dan and Becky contacted us again to help further waterproof the space.
To prevent any water that entered the space from paddling on the floor, our team installed WaterGuard. This subfloor drainage system sits along the footing around the perimeter of the room. This collects any water from the walls, and reroutes it to the sump pump. Since it sits on top of the footing, it won’t get clogged with mud once the dirt becomes wet.
CleanSpace was installed over the basement walls to brighten the space, but also provide a moisture barrier. This durable plastic liner allows wall leaks to drain behind it into the WaterGuard drainage system. It’s manufactured with an antimicrobial additive, so mold won’t grow on the inside of the liner.
Where does all of the water collected go? The sump pump. Installing a SuperSump in this basement ensures that all water is pumped out of the basement and is discharged through a line away from the home. SuperSump is unlike many pumps that sit in a muddy hole in the floor, exposed. It has a sturdy liner with holes in it, allowing it to be covered with an airtight lid, while still collecting water directly from the ground. Its larger inlet hole accepts water from the WaterGuard system.
This customer’s home sat very close to Grand River, and he often experienced water flooding his basement. He had a sump pump, but it didn’t work all of the time, and when he lost power, it was completely useless. Hoping to finish his basement, Jon needed a sump pump that he could rely on to keep his basement dry.
Luckily, Ayers has a sump pump system that efficiently removes water from the basement, in virtually all conditions. The TripleSafe system has 3 sumps in one liner: pump 1 that handles a majority of the pumping, pump 2 that sits higher in the liner and turns on if the first one fails or can’t keep up, and pump 3 which is batter operated and kicks in if the power goes out.
TripleSafe is specially designed by engineers to effectively and efficiently pump water out of your basement. It’s heavy duty, and it’s placed in the ground and covered with an airtight lid, so you don’t have to stare at a literal black hole in your basement.
When Erin noticed the step down onto her porch was larger than normal, she started seeing all of the other spots around her home where the concrete was sinking, sloping, and generally scary. So she called us to fix it.
We used PolyLevel to raise the sinking slabs and eliminate gaps that are not only inconvenient, but can be a safety risk and even damage your bike or car. And with minimal disruption from the 5/8" injector and a quick curing time, it's like we were never even there.
Except for the safe, level sidewalks, that is.
We were called to inspect a rental property in Allendale that had high rates of water accumulation where the walls met the floor. We discovered that the floor was monolithic - that is, the floor and footer were poured together in one piece rather than separately - and so we needed to use a special waterproofing system.
Because monolithic floors are a floor/footer combination, they're much thicker than traditional floors, so jackhammering them takes forever and creates endless dust. So instead of the traditional WaterGuard installation, we used the DryTrak drainage system. DryTrak installs above the floor and looks similar to baseboard. It collects water from the floor/wall joint and directs it to the sump pump for discharge.
Along with the DryTrak, we installed a new sump pump and put IceGuard and a Lawnscape outlet on the discharge line to prevent backups and allow the line to be buried.
Word of mouth advertising is the best form of advertising. It doesn't just mean more business, it means that our customers like the work we did enough to tell others about it. A couple in Grand Haven contacted us after we encapulated a crawlspace for a neighbor. The work impressed them and so they wanted us out to take a look at their three separate crawlspaces at their home. We were able to encapsulate each of them with our durable and mold resistant CleanSpace material and insulate them with SilverGlo insulation on the walls and foam insulation in the rim joists and any gaps or cracks. There should now be a noticeable difference when these homeowners walk on their floors in the winter and hopefully they continue to share about our work with more and more neighbors.
Glenn called when most of the insulation in his crawl space had begun falling down. Fiberglass insulation is common in crawl spaces but is also a bad idea - it soaks up ambient moisture and then falls, leaving the crawl space unprotected. It also harbors mold via its paper backing.
We installed SilverGlo insulation panels, which are inorganic and waterproof, guaranteeing reliable insulation without mold problems, and sealed any gaps with FrothPak spray insulation.
Renoulte A. in Jension, MI was suffering from water problems in his basement. There seemed to be water leaking in and the problem needed to be solved.
Our solution? WaterGuard. The WaterGuard French drain system has great effects and when the job is finished, cannot even be seen. WaterGuard rests below the basement floor and above the foundation footing to catch water that enters the basement. The water is then directed to the sump pump.
David S. from Jenison, MI dealt with wetness in his basement until we came into the picture. He had a completely finished basement that had water on the carpet and mold growing on top of it. He did not have a sump pump to drain any of the water, either.
To help David, we first installed the SuperSump premier sump pump system. It is engineered to help keep the basement dry and healthy for extended periods of time, even in times of heavy water intrusion.
We then installed our patented WaterGuard French drain system. WaterGuard rests below the basement floor and above the foundation footing to catch water that enters the basement. The water is then redirected to the sump pump.
Ashton C. called because water was leaking through his wall on the southeast section of the basement. The home was built in the 1960’s and had block wall foundation.
In order to collect intruding water and discard it from the home, we installed the WaterGuard perimeter waterproofing system. Sections of the flooring around the interior perimeter of the basement were excavated in order to place piping. Crushed stone filled the remaining space around the piping and the floors were restored with cement fill. Water that was seeping in through the wall was directed down the wall and into an opening in the floor where it then drains into the piping. The water then makes its way to the sump pump to be discharged from the home. All of this was done under the flooring so even though the homeowner can’t see it, the system is always hard at work.
Next we installed BrightWall panels on the basement walls. This white paneling is made of plastic sheeting and adds a bright, clean look to your basement. The paneling is waterproof and vapor proof to prevent moisture from entering the home and its inorganic materials prevent rot and mold growth. An added benefit to BrightWall is that any water coming in through the wall, behind the paneling, is immediately directed to the Waterguard system to ensure water never enters the basement.
Rich and Marcia N. called because one of the walls in their basement was bowing inward and they wanted a permanent fix. There were two cracks on the inside walls and the damage was happening slowly over a long period of time. The homeowners had a large tree removed right outside of the house and they believed the roots may have had something to do with the condition of the wall.
In order to stabilize the wall, we installed the Geo-Lock wall anchor system. This system uses steel anchors to stabilize the wall and address problem soils. To begin this installation we excavated the soil out away from the foundation wall, making sure we removed enough to place steel earth anchors in stable soil. Next we connected the earth anchor to the failing foundation wall and secured it with an interior steel wall anchor and steel rods. Next we tightened the system, which immediately stabilized the wall and will prevent it form shifting any further. The system can be tightened over time to possibly lift the wall back to its original position.
This homeowner called because he wanted an effective way to insulate his crawl space to prevent cold air from entering other areas of the home. Fiberglass insulation is the traditional insulation type people choose, although it absorbs moisture in the space, which can cause it to fall and makes it extremely susceptible to mold growth.
To begin, we wanted to insulate the crawl space floor and prevent moisture from entering through the exposed dirt ground. First we placed TerraBlock insulation right on top of the floor. This insulation has a moisture barrier on both sides and is made of a durable material that is resistant to ware and tare.
On top of the TerraBlock insulation, we installed the CleanSpace floor liner. This liner gives the crawl space extra protection from intruding water and water vapor. The liner is made of a durable plastic material that was sized and cut to fit the dimensions of the floor and then securely fastened.
To insulate and prevent moisture from entering through the walls, we installed SilverGlo and FrothPak insulation. SilverGlo serves as both a radiant heat and vapor barrier. The small graphite particles lower the conductivity and reflect heat back into the space to save the homeowner on energy bills. FrothPak foam insulation was sprayed on the small spaces of the wall to further seal the crawl space off from outside air and moisture. The inorganic materials in this insulation resist mold growth and do not absorb ambient moisture like fiberglass insulation.
Ryan L. called because he had watering entering his basement. The basement was finished and he wanted to ensure the problem was properly fixed before more damage was done to the drywall and carpeting.
To collect and discard water that was entering the basement through the walls, we installed the WaterGuard perimeter drainage system. To begin this installation, we removed sections of flooring closest to the walls in order to place custom pipes and the remaining area left around the pipes was filled with crushed stone. Next we poured cement over the trench to refurbish the floors, making sure to leave a section of it uncovered for water to drain into.
This home needed an efficient escape route for the water to exit the home, so we installed an additional discharge line and the IceGuard system. The discharge line was cut to the proper length and was attached to the WaterGuard system to discard intruding water outside of the home. IceGuard was installed on the discharge line to combat frozen pipes that can prevent water from exiting. The system has specialized holes that guide water outside of the discharge lines even if the pipes are frozen, which prevents it from re-entering the home and causing a large leak or flood.
Shannon T. had a house that was built in the 1920’s and the unattached porch cracked and sunk about 3 inches. It was important to this homeowner to have this issue fixed to improve the look of her home and prevent injury or further damage to the property.
The slab sunk originally because the soil underneath it was no longer able to hold the weight of the home. PolyLevel was used to lift the slab by addressing weak soils and using effective lightweight polymers. We drilled small holes in the slab that were then injected with the high-density polymers, which filled the void in the soil below and expanded to raise the porch. The polymer material is a neutral color that blends easily with the concrete and the installation was fast with had minimal disruption.
Atilay T. had a crawl space that was an addition on the house and the floor above the space was very cold. She was looking to the get the space insulated and encapsulated from outside air and moisture.
Before we installed the crawl space liner to encapsulate the area, we needed to fully insulate the space. To insulate the dirt floor and prevent moisture from entering through the exposed earth, we installed TerraBlock insulation. This insulation shields the space from moisture with its vapor barrier surface and insulates at the same time.
The poured concrete walls in this crawl space allowed moisture and the outside air directly in, which created a damp space and the cold floors in the room above. SilverGlo wall panels were cut to fit the space and then adhered to the wall to provide effective insulation. This paneling is made out of a graphite material that prevents sporadic temperature spikes and reflects heat back into the crawl space, which provides the homeowner with substantial energy savings. This insulation also has vapor proof qualities to prevent moisture from coming in through the walls. FrothPak spray foam insulation was also applied to the walls to further seal off the small openings in the wall. Unlike fiberglass insulation, FrothPak will not absorb ambient moisture and fall off the walls and it is resistant to mold growth because of its inorganic make-up.
To encapsulate the crawl space we used the CleanSpace liner. This liner is extremely durable and was sized to fit the crawl space walls and floor and then securely attached to the wall to prevent it from falling down. The liner is waterproof and vapor proof to stop outside moisture from getting in and the antimicrobial additive in the plastic prevents mold growth.
Chuck H. contacted us because he had a crack in his basement wall that he wanted taken care of. The crack was not allowing any water to enter the home, but it was a sure sign of foundation failure that needed to be handled before the problem worsened.
For this project we installed the PowerBrace system to stabilize the wall and prevent it from shifting or cracking any further. We used steel I-beams that were installed in the flooring at the base of the failing wall and then connected to joists above the wall with strong steel brackets that hold the beams in place. The beams have a zinc coating to prevent corrosion and the system uses a joist reinforcement method that evenly transfers the bearing weight across the ceiling to make sure the system doesn’t affect the floors above.
We also provided this homeowner with a tightening kit. This kit can be used to tighten the beams over time to potentially straighten out the wall completely.
Val H. was looking for a solution for her settled and cracked front stoop and walkway. The areas were mudjacked previously, although the problem continued. Mudjacking is ineffective at fixing slab settlement because it doesn’t actually deal with the reason it sunk in the first place. The slabs settled because the soil beneath them could no longer support the heavy concrete above it, so drilling holes in the slab and filling them with heavy concrete pretty much guarantees the problem with persist.
PolyLevel uses lightweight, high-density polymers that address weak soils and lift the settled concrete. Holes were still drilled into the slab like in mudjacking, although they were much smaller (about penny-sized) and were filled with the specialized polymers that expanded to lift the slab back to its original position. We also applied NexusPro joint sealer to the cracks in the cement, which seals them off and prevents them from shifting any further.
The walls on this pole barn were cracked and bowing inward, which raised some concerns for the homeowner.
To save the barn and stabilize the walls, we installed the Geo-Lock wall anchor system. For this installation we excavated the landscape outside of the barn in order to place steel earth anchors. These anchors were then connected to the failing wall and then attached and secured with steel wall anchors and rods. Once the system was tightened into place, the wall was immediately stabilized. The anchors ensured the wall would not continue to bow and over time the system can be tightened to attempt to pull the wall completely back into place.
Ted C. called because he noticed a puddle of water in his basement where the wall met the floor. He was looking for a waterproofing solution that would permanently deal with the problem and prevent standing water from accumulating on his floor.
To collect and drain water entering his basement we installed WaterGuard, which is a perimeter drainage system that guides intruding water directly to the sump pump, rather than flowing onto the floor. The flooring at the base of the walls was removed to place the WaterGuard pipes. These pipes were placed on top of the footing to prevent the system from clogging and just outside of the wall to ensure water coming into the home was able to filter into the system. Concrete fill replaced the excavated flooring so its like we were never even there!
Since the system was placed under the flooring, it was important to install an inspection port that gives us access if we need it.
Dale and Susan C. of Spring Lake, MI had some structural issues before they called us. Their west wall has stair step cracks on both the north and south sides and the floor joists rest on that wall. With this being said, a solution needed to be found.
Our fix? The PowerBrace foundation wall repair system. PowerBrace is made of steel I-beams that secure to the floor joists above the wall to offer maximum support. This system is a great solution for buckling, tilting, or bowing foundation walls when you don't want any exterior excavation.
Melissa and Roman W. of Spring Lake, MI had just moved into their home a week ago when they called us. There was no standing water or signs of water damage or cracks in their crawl space, but there was a high level of humidity and a very strong smell. Melissa said they ran a dehumidifier all the time and it filled up quickly. This said, they reached out to us for a solution that would last.
We installed a customer favorite of ours: the CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system. CleanSpace is a 20mm thick plastic liner that completely locks out the elements surrounding the crawl space. No dirt, water, cold air, or moisture can get through this stuff. And as an added bonus, CleanSpace is made with anti-microbial properties, preventing any mold growth. This means no moisture, and no yucky smells.
Craig B. had water coming through the bottom 2 rows of blocks in his basement. It happened for the first time last summer, and then would happen after a big rain or snow melt. Craig tried some waterproofing on his own, but it didn't do much. This said, we called us for a professional fix.
Our solution? The SuperSump premier sump pump system and the WaterGuard French drain system. We began by installing the SuperSump; 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.
After that was installed, we put in the WaterGuard French drain system. WaterGuard sits below the basement floor and above the foundation footing, collecting water that enters into the basement through the walls. Once this water is collected it is directed to the sump pump -- the SuperSump, in this case -- to be pumped up and out of the home.
Dennis K. of West Olive, MI contacted us when he realized the foundation issues he was having had to come to an end. He stated there was a tree located next to his MI basement and that there were some cracks in the cinderblock wall. He also mentioned that the wall was bowing in.
Our solution? The PowerBrace foundation wall repair system. PowerBrace is a wall repair system that stabilizes tilting, bowing, or buckling basement walls. The system uses steel I-beams that secure to the joists above the wall.
As an added bonus, this system can be adjusted over time to eventually bring the foundation wall back to its original position.
Ben T. of Zeeland, MI was dealing with a lot of basement water issues prior to calling upon us. The bottom of his basement walls were getting wet when it rained hard or when the ground thawed in the spring. There is a sump system on the back side of the house but not one on the front. Thus, Ben reached out to us for a professional solution.
We decided the best way to remedy this situation would be to install a customer favorite of ours: the WaterGuard French drain system. WaterGuard rests below the basement floor and above the foundation footing, collecting water that seeps into the basement from the walls. Once this water is collected it is redirected to the sump pump to be pumped up and out of the home.
Amy B. of Zeeland, MI told us that her basement walls were wet on all sides where the poured wall meets the brick. She usually had standing water after a heavy rain and wanted a long-term solution for this issue.
Our fix? The WaterGuard French drain system. WaterGuard rests below the basement floor and above the foundation footing, collecting water that seeps into the basement through the walls. Once that water it collected in the drain it is filtered into the sump pump to be pumped up and out of the home.
Charlotte N. of Zeeland, MI told us that her crawl space was having some issues that she wanted to resolve. It was always damp and humid, which can cause dampness and humidity in the upper levels of the home. This said, Charlotte gave us a call.
Our solution? The CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system. CleanSpace is a 20mm thick plastic lining that completely seals off the crawl space from the surrounding elements. No dirt, water, cold air, or humidity will get in with this system in place. And as an added bonus, CleanSpace is made with anti-microbial properties, preventing the growth of mold.
John F. of Zeeland, MI had water coming in through a cove in his basement. He noticed the issue about 2 years ago. There was a sump pump in place but it didn't pick up the water leakage. So, John reached out to us for a professional solution to the problem.
Our fix? The TripleSafe sump pump system and the WaterGuard French drain system. 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 â…“ 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 system rests below the basement floor and above the foundation footing, collecting water that seeps into the basement from the walls. Once that water is collected, it is redirected to the sump pump -- the TripleSafe -- to be pumped up and out of the home.
Mike B. of Zeeland, MI had water seeping through the concrete block wall on the south side of his house. This can create a serious problem in a home, so Mike gave us a call.
Our fix? The WaterGuard French drain system. WaterGuard rests below the basement floor and above the foundation footing, collecting water that seeps into the basement from the wall. Once that water is collected it is redirected to the sump pump to be pumped up and out of the home, keeping the basement the most dry it can be.
George & Tanya H. of Jenison, MI had a crack in his foundation. Water would squirt out of this crack when it rained, causing a waterlogged basement. This said, we got a call.
Our solution to this problem? FlexiSpan polyurethane foundation wall sealant. FlexiSpan is 100% washable and waterproof, making this sealant practically indestructible. On top of that, FlexiSpan is flexible and moves with the natural shift of the foundation wall to prevent any future leaks.
Aaron H. called because he had water seeping into his basement from a wall under the home’s chimney. Mold growth was also a problem due excessive moisture in the space and a smoky odor occupied the space because the trap door for the fireplace is in the same spot. The reason water was entering the fireplace and into the home was because a cap was missing from the roof of the chimney. The homeowner was looking to remodel the basement but he wanted to take care of the water seepage first.
In order to collect intruding water and drain it into the home’s sump pump, we installed the WaterGuard system. Rather than the water entering the home and flowing onto the floor, specialized pipes were installed underneath the flooring in the home that allows water to filter in at the base of the wall and then discard into the sump pump to be pumped outside of the home. We first had to excavate sections of the floor at the base of the wall around the perimeter of the basement to make sure any and all water seepage is taken care of. The pipes were placed in the floor and the excess space was filled with crushed stone and topped off with cement to restore the flooring.
Betty F. had foundation walls in her basement with stair-step cracks that were beginning to concern her. The walls were not bowing at the time, although stair-step cracks are a common sign of wall failure in block foundation walls, so we wanted to take proper steps to fix the problem before it began to bow.
The sandy soil located outside of the home caused some concern for our original plan to use wall anchors, which is why we decided to install the PowerBrace and CarbonArmor systems.
For the PowerBrace installation, we needed to install steel columns up against the failing wall. The columns were installed at the base of the wall and to the joists above the wall with steel brackets. Once we tightened the braces, the wall was held in place and would no longer be able to shift and crack.
To further stabilize the wall, we installed CarbonArmor straps. These straps are made of a fiber reinforced polymer that is much stronger than steel. The straps were adhered to the wall with an epoxy resin and secured with steel brackets to hold them in place. These straps immediately stabilized the wall and prevented it from moving any further.
James and Greeta K. had water seeping into their basement and they were looking for an effective solution to keep the space dry. The basement did have a sump pump, although an inch of water was still found on the floor when we visited the home.
In order to collect all sources of water entering the home through the basement walls, we installed the WaterGuard system. This system uses specialized pipes that were placed around the interior perimeter of the basement walls in order to collect intruding water and filter it into the sump pump to exit the home. The floor was first excavated at the base of the wall to place the piping. Next we filled the excess space with crushed stone and topped it off cement to restore the flooring.
These homeowners can now be sure any unwanted water is filtered directly into the pipes rather than flowing out onto the floor.
These homeowners had a walk out basement with water seepage that was entering through the cove. They had recently moved into the home and wanted the problem fixed before it worsened.
In order to collect the intruding water and drain it into the home’s sump pump, we installed the WaterGuard system. To begin this installation, we excavated sections of the flooring at the base of each wall in order to place drainage pipes. The remaining space in the trench was filled with crushed stone and the floors were restored with concrete fill. A small portion of the system was left uncovered so water is able to drain into the pipes rather than flow out onto the floor. We also installed an inspection port in the system to ensure we have access to it if ever needed.
Gale K. of Marne, MI had absolutely no idea where the buckets of water were coming in from in his basement. He took out yards and yards of carpeting trying to find the source, but still was out of luck. So, he called us for a professional solution.
We installed our patented WaterGuard French drain system, TripleSafe sump pump system, and SaniDry XP dehumidifier.
WaterGuard rests below the basement floor and above the foundation footing, collecting water that seeps into the basement from the exterior. That water is then sent to the sump pump, the TripleSafe, in this case, to be pumped up and out of the home.
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 â…“ 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.
Finally, the SaniDry Xp dehumidifier is superior in its ability to collect mositure -- it was take up over 109 liters of water per day. This beast is also space-effective, with its ability to be places in a corner or closet of the basement.
Carin and Edward S. called because their front porch was sinking. The porch was beginning to pull away from the house and the homeowners were concerned that it would begin to affect the roof located above.
In order to lift the sunken slab and prevent it from settling again, we installed the PolyLevel system. Small holes were first drilled into the porch and were then injected with high-density polymers that expanded to lift the soil back to its original level. These specialized polymers are extremely lightweight, which addresses the weak soils issue below the slab that caused it to sink in the first place.
Nicholas and Lisa S. called because they had water coming in through the foundation in their basement. The water was entering in two separate areas and it only occurred during heavy rainfall. The affected area of the basement was finished, so the homeowners wanted the problem fixed before further damage to the home occurred.
In order to collect and discard intruding water in the home, we installed the TripleSafe sump pump system. This system is extremely effective at keeping basements safe thanks its sturdy liner and effective pumps. The first pump is set low in the liner and does most of the work. The second pump is located higher in the liner and takes over if the first pump is unable to keep up with the amount of water entering the system. Lastly, the third pump is battery powered to ensure water can be pumped outside of the home even if the power goes out.
Next we installed the IceGuard system on the home’s discharge line. During the cold winter months, discharge lines can become blocked with snow and ice, which can prevent water from exiting the home. That water then sits in the lines and freezes, which can cause the basement to flood if water from the sump is unable to leave the home. IceGuard has specialized holes that immediately eject water from the sump pump so the homeowners never have to worry. A LawnScape outlet was also placed at the end of the discharge line to prevent exiting water from flowing back toward the home.
Lorie J. contacted us because one of her foundation basement walls had a large crack that was only getting bigger with time. She was looking for a solution that would stabilize the wall and prevent it from shifting any further.
Our team of experts decided to install the Geo-Lock wall anchor system that uses sturdy anchors to stabilize shifting foundation walls. We first excavated the soil outside of the failing wall in order to embed a steel earth anchors. The anchors were then attached to wall with a wall anchor and secured into place with steel rods. After the system was tightened, the wall was immediately stabilized in place and would no longer shift or crack any further.
This Grand Haven, MI home had one wall that bowing inward about a fourth of an inch and another wall that had stair-step cracking, but was not yet bowed.
To stabilize the bowing foundation wall, we installed the PowerBrace system that uses steel beams to hold the wall in place. The braces were installed in the floor at the base of the wall and then attached to the joists above the wall with steel brackets. We also reinforced the joists to help support the weight of the home and alleviate some of the pressure being exerted on the failing wall. We also provided the homeowners with a tightening kit that can be used to tighten the braces over time to help shift the wall back to its original position.
We installed the CarbonArmor system on the cracked wall that was showing signs of wall failure. The CarbonArmor straps are 10 times stronger than steel, which made this a perfect solution to stabilize the failing foundation wall. We coated the wall with a strong epoxy resin, adhered the straps to the resin and secured them into place with steel brackets.

Al B. contacted us because the south side of his home had failing foundation. There were many cracks on the basement walls, both inside and outside of the home.
We decided to install the Geo-Lock wall anchor system and the PowerBrace system to completely stabilize the failing walls before the issue began to worsen.
To install the wall anchors, we first needed to excavate outside of the home in order to place steel earth anchors into stable soil. Those anchors were then connected to the failing walls with a steel wall anchors. Once the system was secured into place with steel rods and tightened into place, the system anchored the wall in place and prevented it from shifting or cracking any further.
The PowerBrace system used specialized steel I-Beams that were installed at the base of the wall and to the joists above the wall with steel brackets. Once installed, the braces prevented any further movement. We also provided the homeowner with a kit that can be used to tighten the braces over time to pull the wall back to its proper position.

Ryan knew this meant his home was on the move. Wanting to take a proactive approach and save his beautiful home, he began searching for local foundation experts. One of Ryan’s friends recommended Ayers to him and he gave us a call. Our experts calculated a plan to lift this portion of Ryan’s home back to its original position and permanently support its weight; to do this we used a series of five helical piers. These piers are long steel shafts, that are advanced deep into the ground to competent soil. The footing of the home sits on top of these shafts using a heavy-duty steel anchor. We installed these anchors by excavating soil from around the exterior of the home until we reached the footing. We advanced the helical piers from there creating a solid and permanent solution, in finishing the job we replaced the excavated soil. With these piers in place, we have allowed Ryan’s home to fully regain its stability.

Mark had realized that there was exposed plumbing in his backyard. After the water flow in one of his bathrooms was interrupted and there was leaking in his crawl space he decided to contact Ayers. After assessing the foundation, our foreman Blade realized that the crawl space was in major need of stabilization.
Blade and his team installed a supplemental support beam and a SmartJack system to treat the foundation. After draining the water from the area, it was sealed off with a CleanSpace lining. The SmartJack system consists of steel beams that line a compromised wall, fixed to the ceiling foundation of the crawl space, and tightened till there is constant pressure. The pressure prevents the wall from drifting further, corrects the wall to the proper position, and acts as a permanent source of support.
The CleanSpace ling is an antimicrobial lining that is placed on all surfaces of the crawl space. Moisture is a major danger to a home's support; the bacteria in the moisture can eat organic material like wood that causes mold spores which can hurt the home and its residents' health.
Harvey had some cracks in his Spring Lake home's foundation. He was also experiencing some moisture in the basement. He called us to see the options we had for the problems he was noticing.

Corina's Holland, MI home had settled a bit but it was nothing to be too concerned about. Without warning, the ceiling in the living room collapsed and dropped inches of soggy dirt on her floor. She immediately called Ayers to come take a look. Our crew determined that Corina's home would need CarbonArmor to fix the foundational issues before someone could come to fix the cosmetic problems.
CarbonArmor is a flexible, fabric like epoxy that is 10x stronger than steel. The epoxy adheres to the wall and penetrates into the surface to reinforce and stabilize.
Corina was grateful to Ayers for being able to fix this nightmare. She can't wait to get in there to make it look nice again.
Kim and her husband had a patio built but noticed that over time it became less aligned with the home it was attached to. Not wanting to start from scratch, they contacted Ayers for a comprehensive solution. Our resident foreman Randy was able to inspect the area and noted that the problem was with the concrete base of the patio. To level the supporting concrete Randy decided to use 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.
Jacob and his wife had cracks forming in their basement for years. This past year, it had gotten much worse. You could see daylight coming through and the main floors of the home were slopping. They called Ayers for an inspection, and our crew determined they would need helical Piers to correct their foundation problems.
Helical Piers are made of steel helix-shaped blades that are screwed into the soil and the piers that can be extended to the appropriate depth. They're attached to the foundation’s footing so the weight is evenly distributed and the home is permanently stabilized.
Jacob and his wife were thrilled with the work done by Ayers on their home. They’re so happy they won't have to worry about the foundation getting any worse or affecting the house in any other way.
Scott was having significant issues with his block foundation. Two different walls in the basement were bowing quite considerably. As time passed, Scott realized that the foundation was getting worse and cracks within the walls were getting more significant. He knew the significance of this situation and decided to call Ayers to find a solution.
After an Ayers System Design Specialist came out to assess Scott's home, he realized two different products should be used. These two products were the PowerBrace System and the GeoLock Wall Anchor System. The PowerBrace System utilizes zinc-plated steel beams custom-fit for the basement and is secured to the basement floor and floor joist with brackets. While other I-beam systems can cause side loading into floor joists, the PowerBrace System was engineered to provide solid joint reinforcement while increasing the structural integrity. The PowerBrace System can be tightened over time, ultimately straightening the wall and stabilizing it. In addition to installing the PowerBrace System, The GeoLock Wall Anchor system was also installed. This system utilizes a plate buried deep in the ground outside the damaged wall, which acts as an anchor. A steel rod is drilled through a hole in the damaged wall and into the plate in the ground. A low-profile plate is then bolted into place on the interior side of the wall and attached to the steel rod in the wall. The system is tightened, creating a pulling pressure on the wall, stabilizing it, and straightening it over time.
Both systems installed in Scott's home will stop bowing walls in their tracks and permanently stabilize the foundation! Scott was thrilled to have found a solution that stabilized his home and will ultimately fix the walls over time. The team at Ayers was more than happy to have found a permanent solution for Scott!
Robert and Sue haven’t been able to sleep in weeks because the anxiety of their Holland, MI home flooding was so great. They just purchased the home and there has been one thing wrong after another. Leaks and floods in the basement have been seemingly nonstop, so the couple called Ayers for an inspection. Our crew determined they would need a full waterproofing system installed - WaterGuard, a TripleSafe sump pump, a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier, and finally the CleanSpace Wall System.
WaterGuard is a sub-floor waterproofing system that collects water that leaks through the walls and keeps dirt away from the foundation. It is installed along the perimeter of the basement and on top of the footing of the foundation. Concrete is poured on top and regular flooring can be placed on top. The TripleSafe sump pump system utilizes three pumps to remove excess water from the basement. The second and third pumps are in case of emergencies so the basement can remain dry, even when the power goes out. 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. Finally, the CleanSpace Wall System is a moisture barrier that uses a thick plastic liner along basement and crawl space walls to keep them dry and last decades longer. It also has antibacterial properties that prevent mold and bacteria growth. 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 the home.
Robert and Sue were ecstatic after the installation was complete. Sue immediately started crying because it was such a relief to not have to worry about floods in their home. The Holland, MI home is now in perfect condition for Robert and Sue finish moving in and cannot wait to spend years there with their family.
Roxanne found her basement flooded and was not sure what the cause was. She contacted Ayers for a solution and allowed our resident foreman Randy was able to inspect the area and draft a treatment plan.
Roxanne's sump pump needed replacing and the walls needed correcting to prevent any water from entering through cracks. All the while Randy and his team treated the basement with a dehumidifier to prevent mold build up.
CarbonArmor permanently stabilizes foundational walls. Using a fiber-reinforcement polymer, which is as strong as steel yet 10 times more flexible, the strips adhere to the wall and stiffen over time. CarbonArmor works best when the problem is caught early, and sadly does not seal away water.
TripleSafe is a trusted sump pump at Ayers due to its three levels of security. The first level is a powerful motor that has a high water capacity. The second level of security is a reserve motor that activates if the water surpasses a certain level on the initial motor. The third level of security is a backup battery that only activates if the home losses power.
Moisture in the air is a major risk to the home. Moisture can invite micro-organisms into the home that consume organic materials like the wood found in most homes' Support works. This process weakens the home's integrity risking the safety of the home. Moisture also invites mold spores that can risk the occupants' health directly as well as indirectly.
Rob Gave Ayers a call because he was interested in getting Egress Windows installed for his basement. Ayers gladly accepted and went forward with the installation.
Egress Windows are perfect for basements as they open up the space more because they allow more natural light to shine through. They are larger and include a safe exit option in the case of an emergency. These windows will help give your basement a more finished look as well.
Rob is happy with his new Egress Windows that let in more light and fresh air!
Philip recently moved into a home and wanted to have the basement inspected and waterproofed. He contacted Ayers and allowed our resident foreman Bruce inspect the area. Bruce found that the home's drainage system was in need of improvements that Mike agreed upon.
Bruce replaced the sump pump with an Ayers trusted model, a new drainage system to help the pump, and a modification to help the water flow during the winter. Finally, he added a GeoLock anchor to hold walls in place.
Ed is a contractor and he was working on a house project when he decided he needed to get the foundation cracks taken care of before he proceeded. He called Ayers so we could send out a crew to inspect these issues. Our System Design Specialists determined our GeoLock Anchors would be a great fix!
Our GeoLock Anchors provide a long-lasting, trustworthy solution to wall cracks as they prevent any further inward wall movement. This product consists of three parts and the first being the interior anchor plate. This will sit on the inside of the foundation wall. Then a steel cable is drilled through the plate, the wall, and the soil to a predetermined distance from the house. The next step is anchoring another plate to the other end of the cable, in stable soil. These anchors will work together to ensure the wall doesn't bow further from soil pressure.
Ed was relieved to have these cracks in his project addressed so he could proceed with the home building!
Dan was hoping to get the crack down his basement wall resolved before the water intrusion really started damaging his home. In the search for possible options he decided to give Ayers the call. We had a crew come out to Dan's house for a free inspection. Our System Design Specialists then determined he would need FlexiSpan.
FlexiSpan is a crack repair system that consists of a two-layer sealant that plugs the crack while also creating a drainage route for the leaking water. Underneath the white panel, polyurethane was used to seal the seam. If water pushes through the sealant, it will be directed down the wall into a drainage well at the foot of the wall. This is a great resolution for this pesky crack in his wall causing issues in his basement.
Dan was happy to get a long-lasting solution installed to fix the crack causing him stress!
Chris was tired of struggling with a little bit of water that would leak into his basement, that was causing him stress over the last 5 years. He already had a sump pump but was looking for something that would catch these pesky wall leaks. He knew Ayers had plenty of waterproofing solutions so he decided to make the call. We sent a crew to his home for a free inspection and it was determined he would need our WaterGuard System.
Our WaterGuard System is a sub-floor drainage system that collects water leaking through the walls and keeps dirt away from the foundation of the home as well. This system is installed along the perimeter of the basement and on top of the footing of the foundation. Next, the concrete is poured over top and the desired regular flooring can then be installed over this concrete. Another benefit with this being that it won't get clogged with mud or debris which ensures the water flow does get directed to the sump pump rather than his belongings!
Chris was happy to get this problem he was dealing with for years finally solved permanently!
Daniel realized his home was having structural issues after noticing one of his foundation walls was bowing. Additionally, it worsened the situation when it rained as the wall swelled and moved more. Daniel decided he wanted to find a permanent solution and contacted Ayers. An inspection of his home determined that GeoLock Wall Anchors would permanently stabilize the foundation!
GeoLock Wall Anchors utilize a three-part system that is proven to stabilize and pull the foundation wall back into place! A load-bearing plate is placed in the ground on the opposing side of the wall where load-bearing soil is met. Then, steel rods are drilled through little holes in the foundation wall until they meet the load-bearing plate. Finally, a low-profile plate is bolted into place on the wall and tightened onto the steel rod. Once the system was installed, the anchors were tightened, stopping the Daniels wall from bowing and will eventually bring it back to its original position!
A homeowner in Grand Haven, Michigan, was looking to support their foundation. He contacted Ayers and set up a home inspection. The team at Ayers concluded from the review that his foundation had settled. The group suggested Helical piers, which would permanently raise and level the foundation. Helical Piers are screwed into the ground next to the foundation until weight-bearing soil is met; then, the pier is attached to the home's foundation. Once the piers are set up, they can level and stabilize a foundation. For the homeowner, his foundation was permanently stabilized!
Lisa noticed her basement walls were beginning to crack and was looking into receiving a quote from Ayers to fix this issue. After a free inspection was conducted at her home, the quote was given. Lisa then decided to go forward with installing CarbonArmor, as our crew recommended. CarbonArmor is made of carbon fiber which is a very high tensile material that is very strong and impossible to stretch. The carbon fiber straps are glued to the wall and hold the center of the wall in place so it will no longer bow. This system can also easily be concealed if she is looking for a more sleek, finished look. It was crucial for Lisa to get this bowing wall addressed quickly so her home's support system would be secure.
Now that Lisa has a sturdy system in place that supports her walls, she is less stressed about her home's safety!
Carla was in desperate need of a solution to lift and level the cracked concrete surrounding her pool in the backyard. She discovered that Ayers sells solutions for concrete repair so she gave us a call. We sent a crew to inspect this area and from there our System Design Specialists determined she needed PolyLevel and NexusPro Crack Repair.
With PolyLevel, this lightweight foam injection will raise the concrete to its original position, making it level again. This is a much faster repair option then a full driveway remodel since you are able to drive on it again 15 minutes after installation. The NexusPro Crack Repair solution consists of a silicone sealant that is made to withstand bad weather, ensuring it won't dry out or crack. This will fill the actual cracks in the driveway. Carla won't have to stress about this pesky tripping hazard by the pool as this area is all sealed up now for her and the family!
Rebecca's previous basement window wasn't doing her much good anymore, it was unattractive and starting to fall apart. She wanted to replace this old window with an Egress Window so she called Ayers. We sent a crew to her home to begin the installation process. These windows are larger so this will open up the space more, giving it a more finished look as well. Basements can feel dark and gloomy so having more natural light fill the room will make it more appealing for whoever enters this basement space. The windows are much more trustworthy also since they are waterproof and we attach a well to the exterior of the window which prevents leaks during heavy rains. The main advantage though, is that Egress Windows can open and provide a safe escape in emergency situations. Rebecca was glad she replaced her old window with a more attractive, beneficial Egress Window!
Sandi and Dave realized that their crawl space continued to be musty and mildewy even after encapsulating the area. The couple decided to reach out to Ayers, and a home inspection was conducted. The team at Ayers concluded that a dehumidifier would be the perfect solution for removing the moisture. The team suggested the SaniDry Dehumidifier as it is 10x more capable than your average household dehumidifier! Additionally, a sump pump system was installed, so the dehumidifier could drain directly into the liner, eliminating the need to empty it! Sandi and Dave were thrilled they had found a solution to their moisture-ridden crawl space!
Brian has owned his Conklin, MI home for about 40 years and he plans on keeping it in the family. A slab of concrete on the patio has cracked and dropped 4 to 5 inches. Brian called Ayers Basement Systems for an inspection. Our crew determined that he would need NexusPro and PolyLevel to correct his concrete. Brian had gotten a previous quote that was slightly cheaper but ultimately went with Ayers because of the level of professionalism and quality of craftsmanship we provide. He was confident that we were the right choice to make his home safe again.
NexusPro is a sealant that fills the cracks in the concrete. It is extremely withstanding to harsh weather so it will remain intact for years. Our PolyLevel system is used to repair sinking concrete by drilling minuscule holes into the slab and filling them with foam. The foam raises the slab and fortifies it to make it last even longer.
Brian was thrilled with the choice he made to go with Ayers Basement Systems and enjoyed every moment of the crew being at his home. He no longer has to worry about the kids running around and tripping on cracked, unleveled concrete and is ecstatic about it!
Patricia was horrified when she saw how much moisture was sticking to the walls and ceilings of her basement. She didn't know where it was coming from or how to fix it, so she turned to Ayers. We sent a team of specialists to her house who determined the best solution was the CleanSpace vapor barrier. CleanSpace is applied continuously in one piece to create a barrier on the walls and floors of the basement or crawl space. Compared to a generic tarp, it is antimicrobial-lined to eliminate mold growth and deter critters. Patricia was ecstatic to see her eye sore was gone and dryer than ever!

The ground anchor is placed away from the home in solid, undisturbed soil to ensure a secure connection. Al feels more comfortable in his home now!
Rick was consistently dealing with leaking water after every rainfall. Although he was sure it needed fixed, he wasn't sure what the issue was, so he called Ayers for help. Our specialists stopped by his house to evaluate the situation, and suggested installing WaterGuard, a superior drainage pipe system. Compared to most drainage pipes, WaterGuard is placed on top of the footing rather than alongside it to prevent clogging. Rick feels much better knowing his pipes won't clog and his basement will stay dry!
Jacob realized the lip between his sidewalk and driveway was growing deeper and didn't want to trip on it. After researching his options, he called Ayers to learn about our concrete repair solutions. We sent a crew of specialists to his home to evaluate and recommended a PolyLevel injection. PolyLevel is a process that drills a minimum number of pea-sized holes and uses them to inject polymer foam beneath the compromised concrete slab. The foam expands and raises the slab to its original position. Jacob is happy with his "new" driveway!
Michael knew his walkway was uneven, but it wasn't until he tripped on his way out that he realized it was a problem. He researched his options online and decided to call Ayers for assistance. We sent a crew of experts to his home, and they recommended the installation of PolyLevel. The process starts by drilling a minimum number of pea-sized holes in the concrete slab and injecting polymer foam underneath it. The foam expands to raise the affected slab to the desired level. Michael loves having an even walkway in the morning!
Jim noticed his stone basement walls had large, deep cracks in them. The cracks allowed moisture entry, and he couldn't tolerate it anymore, so he called Ayers for help. We sent a team of professionals to his home to examine the space and see what we could do. They suggested Shotcrete, a solution that applies a concrete or mortar wet spray through a high-pressure hose to fill a form or repair damaged surfaces. Jim loves his new walls!
Michelle was worried about the safety of her basement during an emergency. She knew she didn't have any windows that could open to provide an escape. Safety is essential to Michelle, so she researched her options online and called Ayers for help. Our specialists visited her home to evaluate and recommended installing an egress window. Egress windows are built to hold back heavy soil and water and include a polycarbonate safety cover designed to be stepped on without breaking. They also include steps to provide an easy exit during an emergency. Michelle feels much safer in her basement!
Paul's front door walkway had always been slightly uneven, but the sag deepened, and he knew the issue was serious.

The beloved home of Grand Haven homeowners, nestled atop the rolling hills adjacent to the 18th hole of a pristine golf course, faced an issue. Unwelcome guests—mice—and an unpleasant odor were emanating from somewhere in the home.
After turning to Ayers for assistance, the homeowners discovered that the root cause of their troubles was the crawl space's inadequate sealing. It was allowing pesky mice and moisture to infiltrate the home. Ayers promptly recommended the application of spray foam insulation and CleanSpace® Crawl Space Vapor Barrier to remedy the issue. With Ayers' swift action, the crawl space was efficiently sealed, eliminating odors and preventing unwanted pest visits. Now, the homeowners can fully enjoy their space without the worry of unwelcome intruders.
Diana and Steve had a serious issue with their cottage in Bellaire, MI. The block foundation, installed about 40 years ago on sand, had begun to shift and crack over time. Initially designed to keep water away from the home, the retaining wall had also cracked and shifted, making the foundation unstable. The basement, with no sump pump and only one egress window, was at risk of further damage.
The solution was to install a foundation stabilization system. The team used specialized equipment to excavate around the foundation for proper installation. Permits were required to ensure compliance with local building codes and regulations. Then, we installed the enforcements with piering to lift the home back up to appropriate levels.
The installation process started with excavation to expose the areas needing reinforcement. Brackets were secured, and piers were installed to provide the necessary support. Concrete angles were added for extra reinforcement. The process was inspected to ensure it met all local codes and acquired the necessary permits.
Now, Diana and Steve can enjoy a dry, stable, and secure basement. Quality foundation repair services have ensured that their cottage’s foundation is stable and secure, supporting the house for many more years to come.
Our customer built his family home in Holland, MI, in 1983. Although he designed the crawl space to house the heating and cooling system, the DNR prevented him from removing the sand needed to finish the project. Over the years, he became concerned about the crawl space's condition, noticing moisture accumulating under the floorboards and critters creeping in. He decided it was time for a permanent crawl space encapsulation and insulation solution and contacted Ayers to help.
Chris F., one of our system design specialists, met with the homeowner to discuss the best approach to crawl space moisture control and protection. The team recommended a full encapsulation system using a CleanSpace vapor barrier to seal out moisture, Drainage Matting to funnel water intrusion to a sump pump, and a Sedona SaniDry dehumidifier to maintain a dry, healthy environment.
The crew quickly installed the system, ensuring the crawl space would be protected from moisture, mold, and potential damage. Now, Rick can rest easy knowing his crawl space is fully encapsulated and insulated, keeping his home safe and energy-efficient for years to come.
This Spring Lake, MI, homeowner was dealing with a frustrating and unsettling problem: their crawl space wasn’t just damp—it was attracting critters that made their way into the home. Concerned about the potential damage and health risks, they turned to Ayers for a long-term solution.
System Design Specialist Camden G. assessed the situation and recommended a full encapsulation to address the moisture and unwelcome visitors. Our crew began by installing durable drainage matting to direct any water toward a SmartDrain system, ensuring proper handling of potential water intrusion. Next, we encapsulated the crawl space with our CleanSpace liner, a tough, anti-microbial barrier designed to seal out moisture and create a clean, dry environment.
With the encapsulation complete, the homeowner now has peace of mind. Their crawl space is dry, secure, and free from critters. It’s no longer a source of worry but a clean, protected space they can confidently use for additional storage if needed.
Rick built his cottage in 1983 by himself, creating the crawl space to accommodate heating and cooling. However, due to restrictions from the DNR, he could not remove the sand and never fully finished or fixed the crawl space. Over time, Rick decided it was time for a permanent solution: he wanted the crawl space fully encapsulated and insulated to improve its overall condition and the comfort of the cottage.
Our team stepped in to fully encapsulate and insulate the crawl space. Using the CleanSpace system, we created a durable vapor barrier to keep out moisture and prevent mold growth. Additionally, we installed insulation to regulate the temperature, making the space more energy-efficient and protecting the cottage's heating and cooling systems.
Rick is relieved with the results. His crawl space is now clean, dry, and fully protected. With the CleanSpace system and proper insulation, the cottage is more comfortable year-round, and Rick has peace of mind knowing the crawl space issues have been resolved for good. If you're facing crawl space challenges, we're here to help transform your space, just as we did for Rick in Holland, MI.
