Innovative Basement Waterproofing & Crawl Space Repair in Sawyer, MI

Ken had a slant in his dining room floor and wasn't sure how to fix the problem. As the slant deepened, he knew he needed help, so he called Ayers to learn about our foundation solutions. Our crew of experts visited his home to examine the space and recommended installing the SmartJacks supplemental support system. SmartJacks is a collection of floor jacks hot-dipped in galvanized steel and zinc plated to promote durability. The base of each jack is implanted two feet below the surface to reduce load-bearing stress. Ken loves having a balanced dining room!

Alexandra's front porch was settling and there was a crack that went across the entire porch. So she called our team and 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. 

Renee and Rick's house was on a high water table so they were experiencing heavy water intrusion in their basement. Our team installed WaterGuard and IceGuard in their basement. WaterGuard is a basement drainage system that 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 IceGuard Sump Pump Discharge Line System allows water to leave even when the line is frozen. Therefore, this system prevents flooding even in freezing temperatures.

Jennifer M. of Sawyer, MI has an old issue of water getting into her basement through the foundation blocks during heavy rains. Because of the damage water can, and has, caused, Jennifer gave us a call for a professional solution.

We installed two of our favorite products: the TripleSafe sump pump system and the WaterGuard French drain system.

The TripleSafe is a sump pump that provides three levels of protection against water leakage. Whether it be normal water supply, heavy volumes of water, or in the case of a power outage, this sump pump will keep your basement dry. For normal water supply, the Zoeller ⅓ horsepower pump functions. At a heavier level, the Zoeller ½ horsepower pump activates. In the case of a power outage, the UltraSump backup sump pump will pump water on a backup battery.

The WaterGuard drain rests beneath the basement floor but above the foundation footing, collecting water that seeps into the basement from the walls. Once this water is captured, it is sent to to the sump pump -- the TripleSafe -- to be pumped up and out of the home.

Velda B. of Sawyer, MI had some crawl space water problems that needed to be tended to. A crawl space filled with water can cause an innumerable amount of issues. This said, Velda gave us a call.

We installed our 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 moisture will get through this barrier. And as an added bonus, CleanSpace is made with anti-microbial properties that prevent mold growth.

Danny P. of Sawyer, MI had water leakage in his basement and needed a solution. Water intrusion can cause a myriad of problems in a home, so he gave us a call.

We installed our WaterGuard French drain system. WaterGuard sits below the basement floor but above the foundation footing, collecting water that seeps into the basement from the outside. This water is them directed to the sump pump to be pumped up and out of the home. Once we install the WaterGuard drain, we cover it up with a new layer of cement so that it does not show.

John R. of Sawyer, MI had dealt with a pesky basement for years. One of the corners of the basement showed signs of dampness and puddling after heavy rains, so John gave us a call.
