Before & After Photos

This Eaton Rapids homeowner has an area in her basment that has water entering where the floor and wall meet. We installed the WaterGuard to keep the water out of her basement. This system is installed under the floor but above the foundation and drains the water that is collected to the sump pump to be expelled out of the home.

The homeowner noticed uneven floors in their Lansing home and was unsure whether it was due to sagging or sloping. The Ayers team inspected the crawlspace, which had a 4-foot height and a decent-sized entry. They identified that the floors needed reinforcement to stabilize the structure. The team installed supports in the crawlspace to level the floors, providing a permanent solution to the homeowner's concerns about the unevenness. This approach helped improve the stability of the home and ensured the floors were secure.

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.

The block wall in the before photo had been leaking into the home quite a bit. The space between the blocks created easy access for groundwater to break through. You can even see where the water had stained the wall on its way down. Our fix in the after photo is the BrightWall system. The white panels of BrightWall are a moisture barrier system that keeps water out of view in the basement. As water leaks in through the block wall, it will be escorted down the wall and into a drainage system that sits in the foot and wall joint. The perimeter drainage system WaterGuard sits under the footing of the ground and will carry the water out to be discharged. As a system, BrightWall will solve the leaking problems that this basement has been dealing with for a long time.
