Before & After Photos

Bob's foundation was in trouble as it became exposed to the outside elements. He knew he needed to do something, so he contacted us at Ayers Basement Systems. Our team scheduled an inspection and arrived at his home to assess the situation. After a thorough evaluation, they determined that Bob's foundation required a combination of SmartJacks and ShotCrete to ensure stability and longevity. These solutions fixed Bob’s dilemma and strengthened the entire foundation, ensuring it could withstand the test of time!

The homeowners had owned their home for eight years, and during that time, the support structures in the crawlspace had deteriorated significantly. Traditional support options, like piering, were considered but would have required extensive and costly renovations, including ripping up their deck, floors, and kitchen subfloors, which was impractical.

Smart jacks were installed to stabilize the crawlspace effectively without invasive renovations. This solution provided solid, reliable support, meeting the homeowners' needs without disrupting their home’s interior. They now have peace of mind with a secure foundation, and the installation was completed affordably and efficiently.

Jack was working on finishing his basement when he started to notice some moisture coming in along the cove joint. Knowing that ignoring it would only mean a bigger problem later, Jack made a call to Ayers Basement Systems and together we came up with a plan. In his basement, we installed a DryTrak baseboard drain pipe system that sits directly on the basement floor along the perimeter walls. A waterproof epoxy holds the system tightly to the floor, directing the flow of any incoming moisture through the track until it finds it ways in to the crock of the sump system where it can be safely removed from the home. Now Jack can continue to finish the basement without concerns of mold or rot in the building materials over time.

Every spring this home would struggle to keep up with the water that leaked into the basement after the snow thawed. There was already a sump pump in place, but it wasn’t capable of discharging the necessary amount of water to keep the basement dry. After the crew installed a perimeter drainage system that would direct all leakage to the sump, the owner also thought it would be a good idea to upgrade the sump pump system as well. The sump in the after photo is one of our more dependable sump pump systems, the SuperSump. Luckily for the owner, the basement only leaked during extreme weather, so it made sense for him to go with one of our more cost-effective sumps that would provide full protection only when needed. It was the perfect upgrade to complement the rest of this Muskegon, MI basement’s new waterproofing system.

The homeowners were noticing water coming into their basement when there was heavy rain. The sump pump they had in their basement just wasn't effectively removing water from their home causing water damage on their basement floors.

Out professional team installed a SuperSump sump pump to combat this problem. The SuperSump system is a full-featured system that includes the best components available. The SuperSump removes water from your basement into a drainage system that takes the water outside your home. It includes the SuperLiner, which is an airtight lid that looks more attractive, keeps pests out and eliminates safety hazard of an open sump pump. It has a floor drain in case an unforeseen accident puts water on your basement floor. It includes a WaterWatch Alarm, which alerts you if the water level rises above the sump pump intake. It has a cast-iron pump to prevent overheating and burnout. It has a CleanPump pump stand that elevates the sump pump to prevent clogging.  It has a check valve to prevent pumped water from re-entering.  Lastly, it has an improved float valve to ensure long-term performance.  

Becuase of the SuperSump sump pump, the homeowner's basement is now clean and dry!
