Before & After Photos

Chuck's Rives Junction, MI home was built in 1972. The original builder tried to cut every corner that they could. There was no sump pump, no drain tile, and the block foundation was never sealed properly. The home was experiencing waterproofing and structural issues. There was only one place in the corner of the basement where water crept in, it was a miracle that the home wasn't a swimming pool. Chuck called Ayers for an inspection, and we determined that he would need WaterGuard, CleanSpace Wall System, and TripleSafe sump pump to address the waterproofing needs.

WaterGuard is a sub-floor 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. 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. The TripleSafe sump pump system utilizes three pumps in order to remove excess water from the basement. The second and third pumps are in case of emergencies so the basement can remain dry, even when the power goes out.

Robert's concerns grew when the water damage in his basement appeared more noticeable. He called Ayers for our years of experience in waterproofing solutions. Our system design specialists inspected the water intrusion and determined our WaterGuard system would resolve these issues. This interior draiange system rests in the subfloor of the basement below the wall. This placement ensures water that seeps through is collected and directed to the sump pump rather than the floor. We pour concrete over the drain to conceal it. Robert is grateful for his permanent solution!

Kat noticed water leaking into her basement through some wall cracks which was frustrating for her as this was making her belongings wet. She decided to make the call to Ayers for professional help and our crew was able to determine she needed our WaterGuard System and our TripleSafe Sump Pump System after a free inspection was conducted. The WaterGuard System will provide the perfect fix for her as this is a sub-floor drainage system that will collect water leaking in through the walls. It is placed along the perimeter of the basement and concealed with concrete. TripleSafe is a three pump system that fits in one durable liner, keeping water out of her basement. 

Kat was very grateful to have a waterproofing system installed that will permanently protect her basement belongings!

This homeowner's decision to upgrade to the best sump pump on the market was necessary to keep water away from the items stored in the basement. The advantages of using the TripleSafe sump pump include having three separate pumps that are activated at different times (depending on the water level) and the addition of the battery backup, which automatically turns on in the event of a power outage.

This customer first called us years ago in need of a sump pump. They decided to go with another company at that time, but we heard from them again a few months ago. They didn't like the sump pump the other company had installed and were concerned that it wasn't working, putting their finished basement in danger.

We installed a TripleSafe sump pump to ensure that any incoming water would quickly be discharged, and upgraded the electrical panel so that the pump didn't interfere with the rest of the house.
