Before & After Photos

Nick and his wife moved into their 1940 Swartz Creek, Michigan, home 5 years ago. Although, they didn’t start to have water issues until a few years later. Over time it was gotten much worse but until now they haven’t had the finances to take care of the issue. Now that they do, they want to make sure it’s done right. They had a couple of other estimates, but none were as thorough as ours.   

Nick’s basement is a concrete foundation with no sump pump. It’s an unfinished basement that gets water intrusion every time there are heavy rains. A few spots have what seem like fountains coming through the walls and other areas puddle on the floor. They’ve been using a shop vac regularly for much longer than they should have been and can’t wait to get the issue taken care of. To combat this issue, we would install WaterGuard throughout the basement. 

WaterGuard is a subfloor waterproofing system that collects water that leaks through the walls and keeps dirt away from the foundation. It is installed along the perimeter of the basement and on top of the footing of the foundation. Concrete is poured on top and regular flooring can be placed on top.  

Nick and his wife were elated by the craftmanship of work performed by our Ayers crew and loved how kind they were with them and their home. They felt so much relief knowing they wouldn't have to spend hours in the basement cleaning up water anymore. 

Brenda worried about water pooling into her crawl space. She knew her sump pump must have failed, so she called Ayers for help. Our crew visited her home and recommended the SmartSump sump pump. This system is designed specifically for small spaces and includes WaterWatch, the alarm system intended to alert the homeowner when water leaks past the sensor. Brenda is happy she called Ayers to get the job done!

Ayers team addressed the water and mold issues in the crawl space of a home built in 1990 with a cinderblock foundation. They installed a sump pump and encapsulated the crawlspace using CleanSpace moisture barrier and vent covers. Additionally, they used FrothPak insulation to seal gaps and prevent further moisture intrusion. This comprehensive approach ensures a dry and healthy crawlspace environment, protecting the home from structural damage and indoor air quality issues.

Dan called Ayers hoping for waterproofing systems to keep his old basement dry. This area was in rough shape, so our crew inspected the home to make the best recommendations. Our system design specialists suggested our WaterGaurd and TripleSafe sump pump systems. WaterGuard is an interior drainage system that runs along the perimeter of the basement. It collects water in the drain and directs the leaking water to the sump pump system. TripleSafe is a three-pump system that eradicates these pesky leaks outside the home. The third pump is even battery-operated to guarantee the system runs during outages. Dan is grateful for the professional solutions that keep his basement dry!

Tamara was looking into getting an Egress Window to bring the bedroom down in the basement up to code. She decided to call our Ayers professionals for the job. Our Egress Windows are very beneficial for finishing basements since they are larger which opens up the space more. Oftentimes basements feel like dark dungeons with minimal light coming in, so this will allow more natural light to shine through. These windows are waterproof and come with an exterior well. The main perk is that these windows are much safer since you can easily open and exit through them in the case of an emergency. Tamara has a much more attractive and legally finished basement now!
