Fred's partially finished basement was dealing with water intrusion. He quickly grew sick of mopping the water on his own. He called Ayers for our waterproofing solutions. Our system design specialist inspected this area and determined our WaterGuard system would efficiently keep the water off the floor. This interior drainage system collects the leaks and directs the water to his sump pump. This solution will prevent water from pooling onto the ground. This specially designed piping rests in the subfloor of the basement along the perimeter. The final step was concealing the drain with concrete. Now Fred has a seamless, low-maintenance system keeping his basement dry!
Peter was losing a great deal of heat through his Dyrden, Michigan, crawl space. He wanted a company that could encapsulate the crawl space. After a lot of research, Peter decided to go with Ayers Basement Systems because of our stellar reputation and five-star reviews. After removing all the debris, our team will work to install CleanSpace Wall System.
CleanSpace Wall System is a moisture barrier that uses a thick plastic liner along 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.
Peter could not have been happier with the installation. He is no longer losing heat because of the crawl space and has been saving a lot of money on his heating bills.
To stop further water leakage in this Potterville resident's basemnet, he called Ayers. Our team installed our specialized WaterGuard system to resolve the issue. WaterGuard is a drain system that sits below the basement floor and above the foundation footing, catching water that runs through basement walls. After catching this water, WaterGuard then filters the water into a sump pump. This system creates usable space that is free of water.
When these homeowners purchased their Potterville, MI home they thought that the basement water issues had been solved, at least, that’s what they were told. 3 years later, the walls were still leaking and the sump pump that came with the home couldn’t keep up. What these residents needed was a system they could depend on, something like our TripleSafe sump pump. With our most trustworthy sump in the home, these homeowners could be sure that reliability wouldn’t be a problem again. The TripleSafe system – seen in the after photo – has 2 different backup pumps inside. One of those pumps will kick in if the original has too much to deal with and the other turns on in the event of a power failure. The two different discharge lines coming out of the TripleSafe make it possible for the sump to push out water through different pumps without overflowing or back loading the system. This home now has the type of protection it was assured of 3 years before.
Our customer called with water in the basement that was wrecking the floors and the walls. They wanted to take care of the water problem, of course, but at the end of the day they also wanted the basement not to be an eyesore.
After installing WaterGuard, a new TripleSafe Sump Pump, WellDuct window well drainage, and LawnScape outlets with IceGuard, we went on to install our Basement to Beautiful panels, which provided a finished look without needing to complete a full basement remodel.
