"Excellent, always willing to answer my questions."
The building code used to require that basements and crawl spaces have vents installed. Vents are not good as they let in hot, humid air in the summer and freezing, cold air in the winter. These vents can cause mold, rot, and wasted energy.
We have vent covers that will fix your problem. Usually vent doors are made of plywood and don't look very appealing. The ones we offer are made of plastic so they won't rot, warp or need paint. They come in 3 different colors and work great to help you start saving on your energy bills.
The homeowners in Walloon Lake, MI needed a solution for their damp, wet basement. The basement had dirt floors and a musty smell was coming from the basement and getting into the entire house. The musty smell could be because mold was beginning to creep into the basement because of the moisture. If this is left untreated, it could cause health problems for the homeowners in the future.
Our professional team had the perfect solution for these homeowners. Our team installed the CleanSpace encapsulation system. The CleanSpace system covers the floors and walls of your basement or crawl space with a thick, durable, plastic vapor barrier. The vapor barrier prevents moisture, outside air, and unwanted pests from getting into the basement.
Thanks to the CleanSpace encapsulation system the homeowner's basement is now clean and dry!

Pardon the cables, this photo was taken with the installation in progress. But it already looks so much better without the debris and water damage visible.
Much better than a crumbling pile of rocks, right?
Once the installation is complete, the excavated area is filled in and the yard is properly graded so that water flows away from the home.
The homeowners crawl space was nasty, humid, moldy and had unwanted pests living in it. If your crawl space has a dirt floor, humid, or moldy you could be paying expensive energy bills, not to mention the health risks for your family.
Our professional team fixed this nasty crawl space with our CleanSpace encapsulation system. The CleanSpace system covers the floors and walls of your crawl space with a thick, durable, plastic vapor barrier. This vapor barrier isolates your home from the earth keeping it dry, keeping outside air away, and unwanted pests out!
For more added protection, our team also installed the EverLast crawl space door. Often crawl space openings are covered loosely by a piece of wood, which can warp, deteriorate over time, and lets unwanted pests inside. The EverLast crawl space doors are made from ½-in.-thick PVC plastic that is just about indestructible. Unlike wood crawl space doors, EverLast doors will never warp, crack, shrink or require maintenance or painting. An air and water tight seal is certain and once it is installed you can be sure that it is protecting your crawl space from the exterior critters and conditions.
The homeowners in East Jordan, MI had tons of water coming into their basement. The homeowner was not sure where the water was coming from so it made it difficult to solve the problem. They decided that they needed to call Ayers Basement Systems in order to fix this water problem!
Our professional team installed the SuperSump sump pump in the homeowners basement. The SuperSump is a full featured system that includes the best components available. The SuperSump removes water from your basement into a drainage system that takes the water outside your home. It includes the SuperLiner, which is an airtight lid that looks more attractive, keeps pests out and eliminates safety hazard of an open sump pump. It has a floor drain in case an unforeseen accident puts water on your basement floor. It includes a WaterWatch Alarm, which alerts you if the water level rises above the sump pump intake.
It has a cast-iron pump to prevent overheating and burnout. It has a CleanPump pump stand that elevates the sump pump to prevent clogging. It has a check valve to prevent pumped water from re-entering. Lastly, it has an improved float valve to ensure long term performance.
Next, out team installed the WaterGuard long lasting interior perimeter drainage system. The WaterGuard system sits on the top of the footing in the basement in order to prevent clogging from mud and debris. The system works by capturing floor and wall seepage before it has a chance to cause any damage to the basement. Once the water is trapped in the drain it is immediately taken to the sump pump and the sump pump removes the water from the home.
For more added protection our team installed the IceGuard anti freeze system. The IceGuard system allows water to escape from a sump pump discharge line if the pipe freezes or becomes blocked for any reason. Even if the pipe outlet is buried under a foot of ice and snow, the water can escape, allowing your sump pump to keep your basement dry. When the discharge pipe thaws, the water will automatically run along its normal route, and no water will escape from the IceGuard.
Thanks to the SuperSump, WaterGuard and IceGuard the homeowners basement is now clean and dry!
