Waterproofing Systems Saves Benton Harbor, MI Homeowner From Further Water Damage

Patti was sick and tired of the water leak issues wreaking havoc in her home so she called up Ayers for help. After our team conducted a free inspection at her home it was determined that our WaterGuard System and TripleSafe Sump Pump System would offer the best solutions. WaterGuard will provide Patti's basement with a sub-floor drainage system that will collect this water seeping in through her walls and keep it off her belongings. We conceal this system with concrete so once it dries it will blend. We also added a better sump pump known as TripleSafe which consists of three trusty pumps that fit in one durable liner and work together to keep water out. With the second and third pumps there for backup and the WaterGuard System in action, Patti can trust that her home will now remain free from these water intrusion issues!

Egress Window Transforms Basement Space in Benton Harbor, MI

Cade called up Ayers looking for an Egress Window installation to improve his basement. The benefits with Egress Windows are plentiful. These are waterproof and come with a sturdy well placed around the exterior to ensure water doesn't accumulate and leak into his home. The biggest advantage however, is that they provide a safe exit in the event an emergency takes place and you need to leave the basement immediately. This is a legal requirement in many cases. The other benefit being these windows are larger than typical basement windows so more natural light will fill the space, making it appear larger. Cade now has a more attractive basement thanks to this window making the space more inviting!

Benton Harbor Basement Foundation Repair


This home, built on sandy soil, showed significant foundation concerns, including a cracking basement window and deteriorating block joints near the bottom. With both an addition featuring a block foundation and an original stone Michigan basement, the customer was understandably worried about the stability of their home.

Ayers thoroughly inspected all joints, joists, beams, and footers, then reinforced the foundation and repaired the deteriorating joints. We also applied a clean coating to the basement walls, enhancing the structure’s integrity. Now, with a stable and secure foundation, the homeowner can rest easy knowing their home is safe and sound.

WaterGuard in Stevensville, MI

The homeowners had water coming into their basement through the floor. Water getting into your basement is always a problem, but in this particular case the homeowners had a finished basement and the water was causing damage to it. Something needed to be done! 

Our professional team installed the WaterGuard long lasting interior perimeter drainage system to stop the water from causing anymore damage. The system sits on the top of the footing along the perimeter of the basement in order to prevent clogging from mud or other debris.

The system works by trapping floor and wall seepage in its drain before it has a chance to damage the area. Once the water is in the drain it is immediately taken to the sump pump. The sump pump then removes the water from the basement leaving the area clean and dry!
