Before & After Photos

Freezing pipes: A homeowner's nightmare. In the wintertime, a discharge pipe connected to a sump pump really needs to stay away from freezing because if the water in the pipe is frozen, the sump pump will overflow into your basement! A Johannesburg residence realized this, and called Ayers to get their discharge line inspected. Our expert opinion? IceGuard was necessary; IceGuard is a discharge line protector that is grated, allowing water to leave your sump pump even in freezing months. Thanks to IceGuard, this home is now protected from sump pump flooding in the winter, making the basement a dry, usable space.

In order to combat a terrible water problem in this family's basement, we at Ayers suggested the TripleSafe sump pump. As it appears in the photos, a majority of water stemmed from a sump pump that did not live up to these homeowners' expectations, so our patented TripleSafe saved the day. This sump pump provides three levels of protection against water leakage-- normal water supply, heavy volumes of water, or in the case of a power outage. For normal water supply, the Zoeller ⅓ horsepower pump functions. At a heavier level, the Zoeller ½ horsepower pump is activated. In a power outage, the Ultrasump backup sump pump will pump water on a backup battery. In any situation that arises, the TripleSafe will put up its defenses for this Johannesburg home. 

Jack and Patti’s 127 Victorian home had very little water coming in from the crawl space, but Jack wanted to make sure his home was still stable given its age. The couple called Ayers for an inspection, and our crew determined that their foundation would need lots of work. We installed SmartJacks, CleanSpace, and a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier.  

SmartJacks are steel supports that balance the foundation of the crawlspace, lifting it to its original position. They can be adjusted so the home will never shift out of place and are anchored into the ground with poured concrete. CleanSpace Wall System is a moisture barrier that uses a thick plastic liner along basement and crawl space walls to keep them dry and last decades longer. It also has antibacterial properties that prevent mold and bacteria growth.  Damp air takes more energy to heat and cool. Cutting down on the moisture in the crawl space, in turn, will cut down on how much it costs to heat or cool the home. Finally, the SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier automatically removes up to 100 pints of water a day from the air in the home’s basement. This system circulates the now dry air through the basement and automatically removes the leftover water so you don’t have to. 

Jack and Patti were absolutely thrilled with the service Ayers provided. The couple could not be happier with the work done and products installed!

Our customer’s wood sub-floor had begun to grown mold. The home was built in the 1980’s and had been exposed to moisture. We decided to install our durable plastic clean space liner to prevent mold growth and our Thermal Dry Floor. The liner is made of inorganic material that does not allow mold growth to prospers.

A customer had flooding in his basement due to his sump pump system overflowing. So our team installed TripleSafe, a sump pump system that’s main goal is to keep your basement dry. This system provides ultimate protection against all basement leakage and any moisture problems. There are three pumps within this system including one battery powered pump. Therefore, it can handle the highest pumping demands.
