Before & After Photos

Michael was hoping to finally put an end to the wall leaks that would seep into his home, damaging his precious belongings. Tired of this stressful issue he called Ayers to get a crew out to his home to discuss possible solutions. After the inspection our System Design Specialists concluded Michael needed our WaterGuard System and our TripleSafe Sump Pump System. 

First we installed WaterGuard which is a sub-floor drainage system that will collect any water leaking through the walls which is the exact problem he was dealing with. Specially engineered piping is placed around the perimeter of the basement on top of the footing of the foundation. The water will then be directed to the sump system. Concrete is poured over the system to conceal it. Since Michael didn't have a sump system we went ahead and installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System. This is a very efficient system as it consists of three pumps that fit in one durable liner and work together to keep water out. The first pump does the main job but the second is there for backup and the last pump is battery operated, meaning it will turn on during power outages.

With these waterproofing systems installed, Michael is now stress-free from these pesky wall leaks!

This Plainwell crawl space was damp, dirty, and prone to mold, creating an unhealthy environment. After Ayers Basement Systems' expert solutions, it’s now a clean, dry, and healthy space, protected from moisture and pests

The owners of this home on Gun Lake called us with a “huge water issue” and also stated that their crawl space was a mess. We helped clean up their crawl space with some new insulation and the addition of a CleanSpace liner. Applied over drainage matting, CleanSpace is fixed to the walls and covers the floor. It’s extremely durable and provides a barrier to moisture, allowing water to drain beneath the liner. CleanSpace not only keeps the crawl space dry, but makes it a clean and usable space, too.

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!

A couple called us after they were instantly sold on this house in Grand Rapids, MI. The bank they were using to finance wasn’t as enthusiastic. Before the bank was willing to move forward, it wanted the cracks in the basement walls filled in. The cracks had allowed in a lot of water seepage and were responsible for the water damage seen in the before picture. Since they weren’t ready to give up on this great find, the future owners started meeting with different waterproofing companies to see what their options were.

We received our call after the couple met with another company who want to solve the issue by filling the cracks in with epoxy and then laying another seal over it. Our FlexiSpan system is also a combination of a 2-layer sealant, but it includes an interior drainage system for maximum protection against flooding. The drainage system was installed below the floor after removing a portion of the concrete slab. Keep in mind that the after photo shows the basement before the concrete was restored. Instead of the leaking water leaving its mark on the walls and floor it ran down, it will flow into the drainage well at the foot of the wall for disposal. The benefit of the two-part FlexiSpan solution is that the two layers create a durable solution without being an eye sore.  First, a polymer was used to fill the crack, much like the proposed epoxy, except FlexiSpan won’t dry out or be disturbed by wall movement. Then, another layer of sealant was overlaid on the crack to keep any water that does leak in away from the visible eye. The water will drain behind this layer into the drainage system. We can’t speak for the bank, but this basement now has the Ayers’ stamp of approval.
