Brightwall Lansing MichiganMichigan basements are imperfect concrete structures built on soils that vary.  Water in the soils leaking into the basement is a problem that has troubled Lansing and Michigan area property owners for over 100 years.  This water will enter the basement through the walls floors and joints between them.

Among the best of these methods is to install either an interior sub floor drainage system or a baseboard drainage system along the perimeter of the floor.  There are few challenges to this method however.  One is to keep the drain from being clogged by mud over the years.  Many Michigan homeowners go years without a water problem and then develop one do to the existing sub-floor and subsurface drains clogging with mud or sand.

Ayers Basement Systems uses the patented Waterguard system that is non clogging insuring your basement will always stay dry.  We guarantee it!

Just because you have a waterproofing system, doesn’t mean that you have a dry Michigan basement.  Capillary action, meaning wicking, can bring in moisture.  For example a block wall may not leak, but it feels damp because it’s wicking the water inside it to the surface like a sponge.  Water vapor coming through your walls and floor also needs to be addressed.  By installing one of the basement wall systems and our ThermalDry Floor Matting, we don’t have to worry about wicking and have slowed water vapor transmission down considerably.

Water also gets into your basement from exterior air leaking into the basement.  This is not a problem as long as the outside air is cooler than the basement. It’s the warmer summertime air that moves lots of water into our basement. basement waterproofing lansing, basement grand rapids, basement wall repair lansing, bowed wall repair grand rapids, basement water leaks lansing, basement water proofing grand rapids, crawl space waterproofing lansing, battery backup sump pump, sump pumps, basement leaks, basement seepage, basement wall cracks, basement water proofing, basement waterproofer, basement waterproofers, basement waterproofing, basement waterproofing company, basement waterproofing , damp basement, dry basement, basement waterproofing systems, fix a basement leak, fix a leaky basement, leaky basement, leaky basements, waterproofers, waterproofing, wet basement, basement foundation walls, basement wall repair, bowed basement wall, bowing basement wall, bowing wall, buckling basement wall, buckling wall, fix basement wall, foundation contractors, foundation problems, foundation repair, foundation repair contractors, foundation repairs, repair bowed wall, crawl space, crawlspace, crawlspaces, damp crawl space, damp crawlspace, moisture in crawl space, moisture in crawlspace, wet crawl space, wet crawlspace

Whenever the outside air is warmer than the inside air – and especially when it’s humid outside air – we are likely to have a condensation problem in our subterranean levels.  This is because the Relative Humidity of air goes up to 2.2% for ever one-degree you cool it.  Basements are always cold because they are below the ground and we know that a Michigan house is like a chimney – air flows upwards, allowing air to escape the upper levels, with new air being sucked in at the lower levels.

In order to eliminate condensation you need to either heat the air or take the water out of it.  A dehumidifier removes the moisture in the air without having to heat or cool it.  Ayers are proud to offer the Basement Systems SaniDry basement air system to continue to keep your basement dry in summer or winter.
