Before & After Photos

The homeowner had a horizontal crack in their basement wall. They thought nothing of it until they noticed that the crack was causing their wall to bow and was allowing water to seep in. Horizontal cracks in your wall are the first sign of a wall that is beginning to bow. The cracks usually start out small and begin to increase in width over time as the soil continues to put pressure on the wall. 

To combat this problem our professional team installed the PowerBrace system. The system is designed to support basement walls and allow for potential straightening over time. The PowerBrace system is coated with zinc making the entire system resistant to corrosion, reduces abrasion and wear, and creates a non-toxic surface. The beam systems also have a clean-cut appearance making your basement look nice and clean. 

The wall is stabilized and is now well on its way to straightening up! 

The sump pump is what does all the work by pumping all that unwanted water that comes in out of your basement. It only makes sense that you have one that works properly so you don't end up with a flooded basement. We have many options for you to choose from depending on the needs of your basement and what you feel most comfortable with.

The sump pump pictured is our TripleSafe Sump Pump. It is the king/queen of all the pumps. Like the name implies there is 3 pumps in one liner. The first pump is what does most of the work to effectively pump water out of your basement. The second pump is more of a back up and kicks on if the water gets too high and the first one cannot keep up. The third pump is battery operated in the event that the power were to go out. All of our pumps also come with an airtight lid so the water that goes in doesn't end up evaporating right back into your basement.

Kurt realized his basement windows didn't open wide enough for an escape from the inside. This was a serious safety hazard, so he researched his options and called Ayers for help. Our crew of experts stopped by his house and evaluated the space. They recommended installing an egress window engineered for easy escapes during emergencies. Egress windows are built to hold back heavy soil and water and include a polycarbonate safety cover designed to be stepped on without breaking. Having an emergency exit is a big weight off Kurt's shoulders!

A customer had concrete slabs that were sinking in her back patio so she called our team. We installed PolyLevel, a system designed to fix concrete slabs that have sunk by using a new product to lift the concrete slabs back to their original level. The new product used is a polyurethane foam that expands and has a high density in order to raise the concrete. The process is quite simple and is done by drilling small holes into the concrete and then inserting the foam into the holes. Also, the PolyLevel system is waterproof and long-lasting.

Dale hoped for a permanent resolution to the water leaking into his basement during heavy rains. He wanted this issue eliminated as soon as possible, so he called our waterproofing experts at Ayers. Our crew checked out his basement and suggested our WaterGuard and TripleSafe sump pump systems. WaterGuard is an excellent interior drainage system placed along the basement's perimeter under the floor. A drain is needed in this case to collect the water seeping through and reroute it to his sump pump. Next, we added TripleSafe for triple the protection. Three pumps fit in one durable liner and keep water outside the home. The third pump is even battery-operated for power failures. His basement will remain dry the next time a heavy rainstorm hits!
