Before & After Photos

Rick G. of Lansing, MI was having water seepage in the basement before reaching out to us. The customer believed it was coming from the foundation and side wall of the basement. The home was built in the 1960s with a black basement, which could be the reason for the water leakage. Thankfully, we had a solution.

We installed two of us patented waterproofing products: the WaterGuard French drain system and the TripleSafe sump pump system. The WaterGuard French drain system rests below the basement floor and above the foundation footing, collecting water that seeps into the basement from the walls. Once that water is collected it is redirected to the sump pump to be pumped up and out of the home. 

The TripleSafe is a sump pump that provides three levels of protection against water leakage. Whether it be normal water supply, heavy volumes of water, or in the case of a power outage, this sump pump will keep your basement dry. For normal water supply, the Zoeller ⅓ horsepower pump functions. At a heavier level, the Zoeller ½ horsepower pump activates. In the case of a power outage, the UltraSump backup sump pump will pump water on a backup battery.

The basement walls of this Lansing, MI home were covered in mold after years of moisture seeping into the space from the front porch. The fiberglass insulation in the basement was also wet and accelerated the mold and mildew growth. Our team removed that moldy insulation and applied a waterproof foam insulation to the rim joists to prevent any further water or cold air from entering the space. We then applied our waterproof BrightWalls basement wall panels to the family's finished basement. 

John M's basement was prone to flooding and when he called us his basement had an inch of water covering the entire floor. His basement's only floor drain could not keep up with incoming water. John realized that installing an effective sump pump was the best choice for his home. We installed a TripleSafe sump pump that offers three levels of protection for his basement which was especially important given the fact that snow was starting to melt in his area which could lead to massive flooding once again.

not just emergencies, Ayers can help upgrade your home to your liking. Addons like egress windows are easy work for our team. Mr. Miligan was having other work done on his home, but a simple request allowed him to get the enjoyment out of his finished basement that he deserves.

John was in need of major basement work. Going to Ayers was a smart choice by him due to our reliable foundation and support works. John was hoping that our specialization did not stop there and our team was happy to oblige.

John requested an egress window to be installed in the basement wall being worked on, so our foreman Evan added the request to his to-do list. The windows used here at Ayers are waterproof and insulated so light gets in, and water and cold air stay out.
