Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Fiona was concerned about the water draining into her basement. She knew water could cause damage to her home's structure, so she called Ayers. We sent a team of experts to examine the issue and decided WaterGuard, a drainage pipe system engineered to be clog-free and placed on top of rather than alongside the footing, was the best solution. Fiona is excited her basement will remain permanently dry!

We all know doing laundry isn’t the most enjoyable experience, but it’s probably a lot less unpleasant if you have to do it in a basement like this one. The mortar around the cinderblock walls is crumbling, letting moisture into the basement. While the owners have a sump pump, there’s no way for the water from the leaky walls to enter it; that’s where WaterGuard comes in.

Our team installed WaterGuard, a drainage system that’s laid on top of the footing around the perimeter of the basement. This piping collects water from the leaky walls and reroutes it to the sump pump, where it’s then forced out of the basement through a discharge line.

To improve the overall look of the walls, we also installed BrightWall paneling. These plastic panels fastened to the wall brighten the space, while still allowing water from the walls behind it to drain to the WaterGuard system. These panels prevent water vapor from coming through the walls and evaporating the basement, too.

WaterGuard helps eliminate the water from the leaky walls in this basement, while Brightwall paneling dramatically enhances the space. We won’t promise the homeowners that doing their laundry will be fun, but we hope it will be a lot more bearable when it’s done in this bright, dry basement.

Mark realized moisture was entering his crawl space and causing mold growth. He knew this could lead to structural damage, so he called Ayers for help. Our specialists stopped by and recommended installing EverLast doors. Crawl space doors are often constructed of plywood or similar materials that fail to eliminate moisture. The EverLast door is made from a durable plastic that will not shrink, crack, or warp under certain conditions. Mark is happy his basement is dry!

The floor in this 400 square foot garage was sinking - well, parts of it were, and not all at the same depth. We used PolyLEVEL to restore the concrete slab floor to the proper height, and to make sure that all parts of the slab were at the SAME height.

Egress windows are an integral part of a finished basement, particularly if you want to use the space as a bedroom or other living space. By having windows installed by a basement company, you can be sure that they are water-tight and code-compliant.
