Before & After Photos

Water flooded into Rose's basement during the last storm, and she had to fix the issue. She called Ayers about our waterproofing solutions, so we sent a team to her home. Our team decided to install TripleSafe, a sump pump system that includes three pumps: a primary, a backup, and a third, battery-powered pump, in case of power outages. Rose is excited to have a dry basement!

Craig and Linda's crawlspace desperately needed work done to it. The crawl space was always damp, and it was visible that the area had been weathered. Craig and Linda grew tired of these problems and called Ayers. After a thorough walkthrough, the team at Ayers believed a couple of different products were needed. 

The team at Ayers believed that installing CleanSpace would make a huge difference in eliminating moisture in the crawl space. CleanSpace uses a heavy, durable plastic liner that lines the crawl space. This liner provides a vapor barrier that drains any water coming into the basement behind the liner.

Craig and Linda will no longer need to worry about water and moisture getting into the basement and causing problems!

This Manistee home is a summer cottage, only occupied for about half of the year, but it gets some water into the basement. It creates a small amount of standing water, small enough amount that can be taken care of with a mop, but Carl just wants to have a waterproofing system installed. We started with the WaterGuard drain which is a perimeter drain installed under the floor. It collects the water and sends it to the sump pump to be discharged outside the home. The SuperSump Plus is great for occasional water intrusions, provides total protection for the home, and works perfectly with the drain system. To keep the space dry and protect it from mold or rot, we installed the CleanSpace Wall System and the SaniDry XP. The CleanSpace keeps out humidity and water vapor. It also gives a clean bright look to the space. The SaniDry dehumidifier blows dry air throughout the basement, works with the drain system, and filters the air.

Chris noticed his basement walls had large, deep cracks in them. He knew this couldn't be good, so he called Ayers for help. We sent a team of trained specialists to his house to examine his basement and see what we could do. Our experts recommended a wet-spray concrete process called Shotcrete. Shotcreting applies a concrete or mortar wet-spray through a high-pressure hose to fill a form or repair damaged surfaces. Chris was happy to have the cracks in his basement walls sealed up for good!

The homeowners had a bowing wall in their basement. A bowing wall is a sign of foundation failure and can lead to more expensive damage in the future if not fixed right away. 

Our professional team installed Geo-Lock wall anchors to combat the bowing wall. The Geo-Lock anchor system is installed by excavating the soil surrounding the foundation wall in order to imbed galvanized steel anchors into the ground. Those anchors are then connected to steel plates with rods on the foundation wall, immediately holding it in place. After the installation, the backfill and sod will be replaced so its like we were never even there. During dry periods you will be able to tighten the anchors to straighten the wall back to its original position over time.

Thanks to the Geo-Lock wall anchor system the homeowners wall is well on its way to being straightened!
