Before & After Photos

The homeowners in Jackson, MI had a crawl space that was already waterproofed, but water was still getting into the area somehow. There was not a ton of water, but it was enough to cause concern. 

In order to stop this water our professional team installed the SuperSump sump pump. The SuperSump is a full featured system containing the best componently available. It includes the SuperLiner, which is an airtight lid that looks more attractive, keeps pests out and eliminates safety hazard of an open sump pump. It has a floor drain in case an unforeseen accident puts water on your basement floor. It includes a WaterWatch Alarm, which alerts you if the water level rises above the sump pump intake. It has a cast-iron pump to prevent overheating and burnout. It has a CleanPump pump stand that elevates the sump pump to prevent clogging.  It has a check valve to prevent pumped water from re-entering.  Lastly, it has an improved float valve to ensure long term performance.

A customer in Jackson approached us with a wet crawl space that needed help before it would be invaded by mold. Luckily, we had just the fix to keep this homeowner's basement dry from the outside enviornment. We installed our moisture fighting CleanSpace system. CleanSpace is a 20 mil thick plastic liner that fits to the crawl space to completely seal the home from the earth. Polyester cord reinforcement allows for a lot of durability, to make it last longer than the home will. This liner also contains an antimicrobial additive to prevent mold. This liner should also be combined with CleanSpace vent covers to insulate and seal the air out.

Our customer Greg, from Jackson, MI had standing water in his crawlspace. Greg also admitted that he was worried about the sagging support beam below his home. He saw an Ayers Basement Systems truck on the highway and wrote down our phone number. He was hoping we were the local experts that could end all of his crawlspace struggles. Greg gave us a call one morning.

After assessing Greg’s crawlspace needs, we installed our patented CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system to address the current moisture issues being faced below his home. The CleanSpace encapsulation product is a thick plastic lining that completely seals off the crawl space from the ornery elements it faces below. The CleanSpace drainage matting we installed will allow the water to easily flow to the Super Sump. The Super Sump is a budget conscious sump pump system that contains an air tight lid, floor drain, pump stand, and a pump alarm. These are the essential features needed to help keep a basement dry.

We also determined that Greg’s foundation needed additional support. To supplement the CleanSpace and support his home we installed three Smart Jacks. The Smart Jack is a supplemental support system for crawl space applications. The Smart Jack effectively supports sagging beams and floor joists caused by, a length of span greater than spanning capability, floor load increased after construction, exceeding design values, and weakening over time due to high moisture and rot. With this completed system in place, it became evident that Greg’s cranky crawlspace was no match for our level of expertise.

Lisa noticed water leaking into her crawl space through cracks in the floor and so she called Ayers for professional help. Our Ayers System Design Specialists determined that installing CleanSpace, SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier, along with our TripleSafe Sump Pump System would be a great solution.

CleanSpace is made of a thick plastic liner that will run along the crawl space. Its vapor barrier property protects against excess moisture. This excess moisture could lead to the growth of bacteria or mold. The SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier is installed to remove water in the air. The now dry air will circulate throughout the crawl space. Lastly we installed TripleSafe which has three pumps that all fit in one liner. The first pump does most of the work with keeping water out, the second is there for backup, and the third pump will turn on in power outages.

Lisa was relieved to have these water leaks taken care of!

Our customer called with a wet, cold basement that needed a lot of help. We installed a full perimeter of WaterGuard below-floor drainage system and a SuperSump pump with IceGuard and a LawnScape Outlet to deal with the water, then encapsulated the basement with CleanSpace vapor barrier as well as SilverGlo insulation panels. The difference speaks for itself.
