Before & After Photos

Kim and Matt, homeowners of a 1940s house in Webberville, MI, were concerned about bowing walls and uneven bathroom floors, signs of foundation issues, and potential safety risks. After contacting Ayers Basement Systems, a free inspection revealed water intrusion in their crawl space. To address these concerns, Ayers installed Shotcrete to reinforce the foundation walls, SmartJacks to stabilize the floors, and CleanSpace to encapsulate the crawl space, preventing moisture issues. A TripleSafe™ Sump Pump was also added for reliable water management. Now, Kim and Matt have peace of mind knowing their home is stable, secure, and comfortable once again.

Gayla was looking to seal off her sewage pipe as it was leaking down the wall. She decided to contact us at Ayers Basement Systems and have an inspection done. The team at Ayers determined that the BrightWall system would be perfect for the situation! BrightWall utilizes rigid plastic sheeting that is waterproof and creates a vapor barrier! Any drainage from the pipe will go behind the system and to the drain on the floor! 

As you can see in the before photo, the windows of this basement hadn’t seen a lot of use over the past few years. In total, there were 6 basement windows and they were all boarded up in a similar fashion as this one. When the homeowners called us up to repair their foundation, they figured it was also a good time to replace their old worn out windows.

The replacement windows in the after photo are what we call our egress window system. The real benefit of the system are the wells that come accompany the windows. Once placed into excavated portions of soil, the inorganic, waterproof wells will shield the newly installed windows from possible leaks and any decay caused by ground water. The owners now have windows they can see out of, and they’re even protected.

Linda was looking into Ayers for an Egress Window so she could legally make her basement a living space. She gave Ayers a call and we had our customer care team set up an appointment for her. 

The main advantage of Egress Windows would be that they are waterproof and provide a quick, easy escape in the case of an emergency. They are also much larger in size compared to the typical basement window. More natural light and fresh air will fill the room. This will make her basement more inviting for company and for whoever is planning on moving in down there.

Linda was thankful for her new Egress Window that transformed her basement into a regular living space!

You can have basement flooding even if you don't have a basement. Such was the case in this Eaton Rapids split-level house; the sump pump was running almost constantly and even then there were times it couldn't keep up.

A new M-53 Zoeller pump replaced the old hole in the ground, and everything was as good as new.
