Before & After Photos

Our customer, John C. from Saugatuck, MI, was having problems with water in his basement. Thankfully, we had a solution. Water in basements can cause serious problems over time and we had just the thing to take care of this issue.

We installed our patented SuperSump premier sump pump system for this job. The SuperSump is a sump pump specifically designed to keep your basement dry for long periods of time. Capable of pumping 2,220 gallons of water per hour, it is suitable for heavy water intrusion.

A customer called our team because he wanted his crawl space insulated, so we insualted his rim joists. Small cracks and seams can exist around rim joists, but after insulating them all of those cracks are sealed off. Now flow is restricted keeping moisture and unwanted allergens out.

A Saugatuck homeowner faced freezing floors and winter drafts caused by uninsulated basement rim joists. Ayers expertly sealed the gaps with insulation, boosting the home’s energy efficiency and comfort. Now, their floors are warmer, and the upstairs living space is cozy, even in the heart of winter. If drafts are making your home uncomfortable, contact us for a free inspection!

This home built in the 1930’s had a pretty problematic crawl space. Since it was vented, outside air and moisture was entering the space, as well as moisture from the dirt ground. This high level of humidity caused the fiberglass insulation to fall out of place, and even caused started to rot the floor joists, leaving the floor above sagging. Our team knew the best solution to saving this home was to address the structural concerns, and then seal off the crawl space with CleanSpace. CleanSpace is a durable liner made of polyester cord reinforcement that is fixed to the walls and floor to provide a moisture barrier. This keeps the humidity low, and the crawl space dry. CleanSpace is also manufactured with an antimicrobial additive, preventing mold from going in the crawl space. Now these homeowners can enjoy their time in their home without having to worry about a damp crawl space. 

The crack in this was a likely point of entry for water in the basement. It would be easy to go to the hardware store and fix the crack yourself, with mortar or adhesive, but it’s very likely this solution wouldn’t last long, especially if the crack were ever to expand. FlexiSpan crack repair is a warranted repair system that seals the crack in three steps. First, a flexible sealant is applied along the crack, and then porous foam is applied over it. Lastly, an impermeable membrane is applied over the foam, allowing any water that may come through the crack to be caught by the drainage system along the floor. The flexible material of FlexiSpan means the repair covering won’t crack if the walls move in the future. This specially designed system puts a stop to wall leaks, preventing a basement full of water.
