Before & After Photos

The customer had water coming into her 1890s home from the northwest corner, with up to half an inch of standing water at times. Concerned about the old stone foundation, she requested a full inspection. Utilizing our full perimeter waterproofing system and our Triplesafe Sump Pump, this basement can now be dry and no longer be concerned about water intrusion.

This wasn’t the first time that these Spruce, MI customers had looked for a crawl space solution. The cinder blocks support system in the before photo are a testament to that. They were installed after the last time the crawl space shifted. The crawl space had shifted quite a few time over the years because the home was located above a natural spring, so the homeowners doubted that the cinder blocks would be their last repair to the crawl space. However, the SmartJack system and steel support beams in the after photo could be.

While the SmartJack system will essentially provide the same support as the cinderblocks, they have the unique advantage of being installed into the ground. The SmartJacks are installed into excavated portions of the ground and then backfilled with a cement and gravel mixture to keep them in place. With any luck, this crawl space won't have to worry about any more shifts or tilts for a long time. 

Phillip worried his sump pump wasn't pumping water out of his basement fast enough. He knew this project wouldn't be completed on his own, so he called Ayers for help. A team of specialists visited and decided the TripleSafe sump pump would be the best solution. TripleSafe contains three pumps: a primary, backup, and battery-powered pump for power outages. Phillip loves how dry his basement is!

Dusty was sick of his basement windows and wanted to find out his options, so he called Ayers. Our team of experts went to his home and recommended an egress window. The egress window is designed for durability against heavy soil and water and to allow for a safe escape. The one-piece structure with steps for evacuation also employs a polycarbonate cover for safety. Dusty felt so much better having his beautiful new window!

Christopher was worried about water moisture seeping into his basement. He recently noticed some cracks and crevices where water was leaking in, so he decided to call Ayers for help. We sent a crew of specialists to his home to evaluate, and they recommended installing the TripleSafe sump pump. TripleSafe is an advanced system designed to prevent leaking water with a primary pump and two backups. In case of power outages and emergencies, the third pump is battery-operated as well. Christopher loves his new plan!
