Before & After Photos

Gene was looking into getting an egress window mainly for safety purposes. He saw that Ayers sold Egress Windows so he decided to make the call. We had our customer care team set up an appointment and we went forward with the installation!

The benefits of Egress Windows are plentiful. First off, they provide the quick and easy exit option he was looking for in emergency situations. They are also much larger than typical basement windows which means more natural light and fresh air will fill the room. Installing an Egress Window will even add value to the home in the long run and is especially nice if he is looking to finish his basement. We also installed a lid cover to prevent debris and water from filling the well, keeping it well protected for longer.

Gene was happy to make his home safer and more attractive!

With water coming from the corner of the basement AND around the window, this customer was at her wit's end trying to fix the leak and resulting mold. She had already tried everything from a window well cover to backfilling the area outside to reduce the leakage with no luck. Then she called Ayers.

We installed a SuperSump system and Everlast Window as well as a WellDuct window drain to direct all of the water to our WaterGuard floor drain system, and now her basement is dry and mold-free.

The crew took a trip out to Charlotte, MI to help out a customer that we had been in contact with for quite some time. Once she realized that her basement waterproofing problems were only worsening, she decided it was time to do something about it. Water was coming into her basement from multiple different areas, but this before and after focuses on the leaky water heater. Water heaters are one of the most common causes of basement flooding. Their leaking is usually a sign that it’s time for a repair or replacement.

To prevent this leakage - or one in the future - from flooding the entire basement, we installed a water heater flood protection system called FloodRing. Once the ring was firmly sealed to the ground, it held the leaking water to an isolated area of the basement. The portion of the floor that is slightly off color in the after photo shows where the concrete was excavated to connect a perimeter drainage system. Any water collected in the ring will then be discharged through the system and no longer threaten the basement. Thanks to FloodRing and several other waterproofing products, this basement is dry and protected.

The SuperSump premier sump pump system is perfect for keeping a basement dry and healthy for extended periods of time, even in times of heavy water intrusion. The SuperSump has a ⅓ horsepower cast-iron sump pump, capable of pumping 2,220 gallons of water per hour at an 8-foot head out of your basement. This complete system provides total protection, and that is why this Charlotte, MI family had install the patented system. Thi family no longer has to worry about water in their basement with the SuperSump. 

A lot of the time when cracks appear on basement walls, people are slow to react. Many feel like the problem will just go away on its own if it’s small enough. Others think that any sealant will be a viable solution. That was the case for this Charlotte, MI homeowner. When he saw that a small portion of his basement wall was leaking, his first reaction was to plug it. Using caulk, he did his best to create a temporary seal over the crack. But eventually, the leaking started up again and with it came the puddling. This time, he knew he would need a professional service. Our crew gave him a permanent solution with the FlexiSpan system. FlexiSpan is a waterproof and flexible two-layer sealant that both plugs leaks and allows them to drain. How? Well, the first layer was pushed into the crack to create a waterproof seal that will hold back 95% of the leaking water. Then by adding a second layer of drainage, seen in the after photo, the crew created a path that will carry any leaking water down the basement wall and into a floor dry well at the foot of the wall.
