Before & After Photos

Nicole's block basement walls showed clear signs of bowing. This concerned the family because they were looking to stay in this 1970s home and make it their retirement home after their adult children had all left. Although there were no signs of water intrusion through the cracks in the bowed walls, the gaps in the blocks were visible which could mean that the foundation settlement had been ongoing for some time. We installed the CarbonArmor® Wall Reinforcing System which uses carbon fiber straps which are bonded to the interior face of the wall. The benefits of this system is that Tit requires no excavation, does not impact plans to finish the basement and installs quickly. 

Maria’s home was built in 1968, but her and her husband have been living there since 2018. The cinderblock foundation slowly allows water to seep in whenever there is heavy rain. They’ve had a few different companies come out to try and fix the problem, but none of their solutions have worked. Finally they found Ayers and we came out for an inspection. Our crew determined that Maria and her husband would need us to install a TripleSafe sump pump. 

The TripleSafe sump pump system utilizes three pumps in order to remove excess water from the basement. The second and third pumps are in case of emergencies so the basement can remain dry, even when the power goes out. 

Maria and her husband were ecstatic that we were able to solve this problem for them. They can’t wait to finish the basement and add a bathroom now that the flooding is under control!

Joe was in the process of finishing his basement and wanted to have an Egress Window installed to complete this process. These windows are larger and include an exterior well with a step in it. They allow for quick, safe exits in the event an emergency occurs. They make the space feel more open and inviting since natural light will now fill the room. They make the perfect addition to your finished basement and Joe won't have to worry about water leaking in because the windows are waterproof. Joe was thrilled with how the Egress Windows transformed the space! 

Rob was looking to waterproof his basement as water was leaking down the foundation. Rob set up a home inspection with Ayers which determined that water was seeping through the foundation. The team at Ayers suggested WaterGuard, as the system will catch any water that drains down the walls! WaterGuard is a French Drain System that sits above the home's footing and below the basement floor, leaving it out of the mud zone! Rob was thrilled with the installation; it looked good, and water will no longer be an issue!

Redoing a bedroom is always exciting. For this Wyoming, MI couple, it was no different. They had just taken in a new family member and wanted to provide as much comfort as possible. Doing that for this basement room would take more than a few posters. One of the easiest ways to fix up a bedroom, especially one in the basement, is to brighten it.

Our egress windows are perfect for basement bedrooms. The team replaced the previous standard rectangle window with a 30 by 48 egress. The window is not only larger but also better protected. Each egress window comes with an accompanying well and cover to stand up to the elements. Both the well and cover are made from plastic material that won’t erode or rot away. With no erosion, the basement will be protected from possible leaks and cracks. Meaning not only did this bedroom upgrade to better lighting, it is also one step closer to becoming fully waterproof.
