Saugatuck, MI Reputable Foundation Repair & Basement Waterproofing

This Saugatuck homeowner had endured years of cold winter drafts, with uninsulated rim joists in their basement allowing frigid air to seep in. The result? Freezing floors and an uncomfortable upstairs living space. Determined to resolve the issue before the next winter, they reached out to Ayers.

System Design Specialist Paul assessed the situation and recommended insulating the rim joists to seal the gaps and improve the home’s energy efficiency. The Ayers team worked diligently, expertly applying insulation around pipes and electrical components to ensure a thorough and precise installation.

Now, with their basement rim joists properly insulated, the homeowner is enjoying warmer floors and a more comfortable home, even as Michigan winter sets in.

Phyllis's walkway was uneven and cracked, and she knew it was a safety hazard but was unsure how to fix it. After researching her options online, she called Ayers for assistance. Our team of specialists visited the property and suggested 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. Phyllis loves her even walkway!

Paul has a 3 season room where they took out the hot tub and decided to restructure the space. While the space is opened up he thought it would be a great time to encapsulate the crawl space underneath and make sure no water or pests could get in. We laid down Drainage Matting first which has raised dimples in it to direct any water to the sump pump. We then installed the SuperSump Plus which will keep the space dry and healthy for extended periods of time. We then installed CleanSpace Crawl Space Vapor Barrier which keeps out humidity, pests, and water vapor. By keeping the space dry, you protect the structure from mold and rot. Lastly we installed the SaniDry XP dehumidifier which blows dry air throughout the area to keep it dry. On top of drying out the space it filters the air for mold spores and other small particles.

Scott P. of Saugatuck, MI desperately needed his crawl space sealed off from the elements. Thus, he gave us a call for a professional installment. 

After a free inspection, we decided the CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system would be the best fix for Scott. CleanSpace is a 20mm thick plastic lining that completely seals of the crawl space. No cold air, dirt, water, or moisture can get through this beast of a lining. And as an added bonus, CleanSpace is developed with anti-microbial properties that prevent mold growth.

Dennis B. of Saugatuck, MI has a crawl space that was terribly musty before he reached out to us. The excessive moisture in the crawl space was causing the musty odor -- and this musty odor was being carried up into the home itself. 

Our solution? The CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system. CleanSpace is a 20mm thick plastic lining that seals off the crawl space from the surrounding elements. Dirt, water, cold air, critters, etc. do not stand a chance at getting through this stuff. And as and added bonus, CleanSpace is developed with anti-microbial components that prevent mold growth.

Say goodbye to a musty crawl space with CleanSpace!

Kevin K. of Saugatuck, MI was having a lot of water seepage in his basement before he reached out to us for help. Because of the damage that water in a basement can cause, this was top-priority for Kevin.

We installed our patented WaterGuard French drain system to solve this issue. WaterGuard rests below the basement floor but above the foundation footing, sitting at a level just right for catching water that seeps into the basement from the outside. Once this water is captured, it is redirected to the sump pump in the home to be pumped up and out of the basement. 

John K. from Saugatuck has a block foundation and a shallow crawl space. There is outside access to the crawl space. Before calling us, John said there was a musty damp smell in the home.

Our solution? SmartSump, CleanSpace, and the SaniDry CX. The SmartSump crawl space sump pump system is specifically designed for crawl spaces and can provide all the protection you need from leaks and floods. The SmartSump system comes with a reliable Zoeller 1/3 horsepower sump pump capable of pumping 2,500 gallons per hour at a 5-foot head. This is what we decided to install first.

After that, we installed a customer favorite: the CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system. CleanSpace is a 20mm plastic lining that completely seals off crawl spaces from the surrounding natural elements -- goodbye, water, cold air, and dirt. As a bonus, CleanSpace is also produced with anti-microbial components to prevent mold growth. 

The final step in the project is installing our SaniDry CX crawl space dehumidifier. This beast is self-draining and can collect up to 109 pints of water a day without its collection tray having to be emptied. This dehumidifier is sure to eradicate any moisture in the air of a crawl space. 

John can be happy with his crawl space when he has these systems in place!

Terry L. of Saugatuck, MI had water puddling in his basement. This can not only cause serious water damage in the basement , but it can also cause moisture in the upper levels of the home, making for an unsavory environment. So, Terry called us. 

Our fix to this unfortunate situation? The WaterGuard French drain system and the SuperSump premier sump pump system. We started off by installing the SuperSump. The SuperSump is a sump pump specifically designed to keep basements dry for long periods of time. Capable of pumping 2,220 gallons of water per hour, this beast is suitable for heavy water intrusion.

After that was installed, we moved on to the WaterGuard system. WaterGuard rests below the basement floor and above the foundation footing, collecting water that enters the basement through the walls. Once that water is collected, it is redirected to the sump pump -- the SuperSump -- to be pumped outside of the home.
