Waterproofing Solutions Resolve Puddling Water in the Basement of a Lansing, MI Home

Krystal was looking into getting a waterproofing system installed that would put an end to the wall leaks that would cause puddles in her basement so she called Ayers. It was settled by the free inspection we conducted that she would need our WaterGuard System, TripleSafe Sump Pump System, and our SaniDry XP Basement Dehumidifier. WaterGuard is a below-floor drainage system that collects water or dirt seeping in through the walls as it is placed along the basement's perimeter. Then we added TripleSafe since this consists of three trusty pumps that fit in one durable liner and work together to keep water out. Lastly we installed our SaniDry XP Dehumidifier as this will clean and dry the air which reduces the risk of mold growth.

 

Krystal was thrilled with the final results since she won't have to worry about puddles of water soaking her belongings!

FlexiSpan Solves Wall Cracks Causing Water Intrusion in Lansing, MI Basement

Angela called Ayers for help sealing up the wall crack in her basement that was causing water intrusion. We sent a team to inspect this problem area and from this it was decided that FlexiSpan would resolve this pesky issue. For this installation process first the wall cracks are filled with a watertight, flexible sealant and then another drainage layer is added for the case that water does permeate the membrane it would flow down the original wall. The water is directed to the drainage system we install below. Angela was happy with this quicker and more efficient fix rather than a full wall remodel!

Crawl Space Encapsulation Transforms Lansing Home

Chris and Stacy’s crawl space was damp and uninsulated in their Lansing house, leading to musty air and health concerns for their family. Ayers installed CleanSpace® encapsulation, a TripleSafe™ Sump Pump, and rim joist insulation to keep moisture out and maintain a healthy environment. Now, their home is dry, comfortable, and safe for years to come.

Bacteria-Ridden Lansing Drainage System Replaced with Triple Safe Sump Pump and WaterGuard IOS

Signs of water damage led this couple to call us. The buildup of iron ochre bacteria had rendered their current drainage system ineffective and the entire setup needed to be replaced.

We installed a new TripleSafe sump pump system with IceGuard and a LawnScape outlet, and due to the presence of the iron ochre, we used the WaterGuard IOS Perimeter Drain Channel, which features a wider design and removable lid for easy access and maintenance.

The new WaterGuard system will direct water to the sump pump, and with its easy access lid it will be easier to maintain the iron ochre problem and stop the buildup from recurring.

WaterGuard Saves Former O'Rafferty High School in Lansing, MI

Think of this as more of a "before" and "during," so you can see what WaterGuard installation looks like in progress.

The owners of the building that was once O'Rafferty High School in Lansing called us because the sump pump wasn't able to keep up with the water (and had a pretty nasty iron ochre problem) and the basement had a steadily increasing water problem.

After installing a new TripleSafe sump pump, it took almost 600 feet of WaterGuard, and another 100 feet of cross drainage and 200 feet of extra discharge line, to properly drain the water in this huge basement. 

When WaterGuard is installed, it's necessary to take out some of the concrete floor, as well as cut back the walls at floor level in order to properly install it. This, along with the cross tile drainage, is what is pictured in the after. Post-installation, it's just a matter of pouring new concrete and replacing the removed sections of wall, and the basement is good as new.
