Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Charles hated his basement windows and had been since he bought his house. He knew there had to be other, more attractive options, so he called Ayers. We sent a team of experts to evaluate the situation and recommend a solution. They suggested the installation of an egress window, which is designed to provide an escape during emergencies. It's also durable enough to withstand heavy soil and water weight and has a polycarbonate safety cover that won't break when stepped on. Charles loves his new basement window!

The basement wall had a small, non-functional glass block window, which didn’t meet the safety standards required for an egress window. This meant the basement didn’t have proper ventilation, light, or an emergency exit. The foundation was also a concern, with potential issues related to water leakage and radon exposure. A larger egress window was installed, greatly improving safety by providing a proper emergency exit and allowing more natural light and ventilation. The foundation was also addressed, with waterproofing measures taken to prevent leaks, and radon mitigation steps were implemented to ensure a safer indoor environment. The basement is now structurally sound, properly ventilated, and up to code.

Aaron, a homeowner in East Lansing, MI, needed professional basement waterproofing to address moisture seeping through the egress window and walls, threatening his plans for an entertainment space. He wanted a dry, secure basement ready for finishing. Ayers Basement Systems provided the perfect solution, installing WaterGuard®, TripleSafe™, and the CleanSpace® Wall System to prevent water intrusion and improve air quality. Aaron was thrilled with the crew’s expertise and the long-term protection, knowing his basement is now protected and ready to become the entertainment hub he envisioned.

With the basement walls primarily made of stone, moisture and high humidity became a serious problem when water began to find its way through. The CleanSpace vapor barrier was installed to keep the moisture out of the air and reduce mold growth and musty smells by allowing water to drain while protecting the room from ambient moisture.

If you have a crack in your basement wall, call a basement company. Foundation cracks are rarely just cracks and often indicate a larger problem. In this case, a contractor tried to simply fill a wall crack with epoxy, but the leak causing the crack didn't really care and continued to leak and, therefore, crack.

We installed the FlexiSpan crack repair system, which seals the crack and remains flexible enough to accommodate any shifting in the surrounding soil.
