Before & After Photos

This homeowner called us because he wanted to get a crack in his basement wall fixed. The walls are poured concrete and the crack that is present allows water to enter with heavy rain. Basement walls tend to move due to concrete shrinking/expanding and because of the pressure given off from the soil surrounding the wall.

Considering these problems, we installed the FlexiSpan sealant, which repairs water leaks due to a cracks in a wall. The sealant is flexible and specially made to move with the wall to make sure the crack is sufficiently sealed and doesn’t re-crack as the wall continues to shift. This system also includes the installation of a drain at the base of the seal to make sure any water leakage can drain easily. 

A basement wall in Kalamazoo, MI had vertical cracks going all the way down the length of it. Our professional team took one look at the wall and knew something had to be done. In the before picture, you can see what the vertical cracks going all the way down the wall look like.

We decided that out CarbonArmor system would be the best option! The flexible, fabric straps our team installed on the wall are stronger than concrete, 10 times stronger than steel and are specifically designed to be used on basement walls. The unique flexible design allows the CarbonArmor system to contour tightly to the cracks in the wall. In the after picture, you can see the fixed wall with the CarbonArmor system installed. The wall is now as strong as ever and the cracks are fixed! 

The homeowners in Kalamazoo, MI noticed they had water coming through their back wall into their basement. The water was especially bad during heavy rains.

Having water seep into your basement is bad enough, but it is even worse when it is destroying a finished basement. The water came in so frequently that it started soaking the homeowners new carpet. They knew they needed to fix the problem before it ruined anything else in their basement, so they called Ayers Basement Systems. 

Our professional team installed the WaterGuard long lasting interior perimeter drainage system. The WaterGuard system sits on the top of the footing in the basement in order to prevent clogging from mud or other debris. The system works by trapping floor and wall seepage before it has a chance to damage the basement in any way. Once the water is trapped in the drain it is taken directly to the sump pump. The sump pump then removes the water from the home keeping your basement nice and dry. 

The before picture shows the WaterGuard system once it is put in place and the after picture shows the system after it is covered with a clean layer of concrete. 

The homeowners in Kalamazoo, MI noticed they had water coming through their back wall into their basement. The water was especially bad during heavy rains. Having water seep into your basement is bad enough, but it is even worse when it is destroying a finished basement. The homeowners did not have an existing sump pump so the water that was coming in had no way of escaping.

Our professional team installed the TripleSafe sump pump to keep this basement dry. The TripleSafe has three sump pumps in one giving you triple protection! The first pump will remove water from the home efficiently and effectively. The second pump has a seperate discharge line and is more powerful. The second pump will be there for you on the rare ocassions you need it. The third pump is equipped with batteries so it is there for you when the power goes out. The TripleSafe adjusts automatically so you do not have to worry about it. 

The before picture shows the new carpet rolled up and all their stuff pushed to one side of the basement so it could try to avoid all the water and the after picture shows the TripleSafe sump pump.
