Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Jack's basement had water leaking around the seams of the walls and floor. He didn't know how to fix it, so he researched his options and called Ayers for help. Our experts stopped by his house to assess the space and recommend a solution. They suggested the installation of WaterGuard, a drainage pipe system that is designed to prevent clogging. WaterGuard is installed on top of the footing rather than alongside it, reducing dirt and rock clumping. Jack loves his dry basement!

Unattractive, water damaged, or mold-covered basement walls can be permanently repaired by our patented EverLast finished wall restoration system. This system adds insulation and creates a clean, finished look to your basement. The surface is also washable, and EverLast even comes with a 50 year warranty. This family in Richland, MI had us install EverLast and can now fully enjoy being in their basement. 

The basement of this Richland, MI home was leaking through the wall where the well pipe penetrated the wall. It’s very common for plumbing pipes to cause leakage at the spot of entry due to how often they move. The before photo shows the water damage around the pipe and where it leaked down to the floor. In the after photo, the leak has been solved with the FlexiSpan System. The system works by first plugging the leak with a flexible sealant, and then another layer of polymer creates a drainage route for any water that does leak through. The drainage layer then directs water to a drain well at the foot of the wall. You can see in the after photo where fresh concrete was poured after the drain well was installed. The leaking pipe won't bother this home again.

Jodi and Rick have lived in their house for years. The concrete slabs in the garage were poured in the 70s and were severely cracked and sinking. They had them lifted once before in the 90s, but it dint last very long and ended up just making matters worse. The couple called Ayers for an inspection and our crew knew we could take care of this for them easily with PolyLevel and NexusPro. 

The PolyLevel system is used to repair sinking concrete by drilling minuscule holes into the slab and filling them with foam. The foam raises the slab and fortifies it to make it last even longer. NexusPro is a sealant that fills the cracks in the concrete. It is extremely withstanding to harsh weather so it will remain intact for years.

Jodi and Rick were so grateful to Ayers for finally being able to take care of this problem permanently. They can go into this winter knowing the cracks won’t destroy the driveway and garage. 

Nick and his wife moved into their 1940 Swartz Creek, Michigan, home 5 years ago. Although, they didn’t start to have water issues until a few years later. Over time it was gotten much worse but until now they haven’t had the finances to take care of the issue. Now that they do, they want to make sure it’s done right. They had a couple of other estimates, but none were as thorough as ours.   

Nick’s basement is a concrete foundation with no sump pump. It’s an unfinished basement that gets water intrusion every time there are heavy rains. A few spots have what seem like fountains coming through the walls and other areas puddle on the floor. They’ve been using a shop vac regularly for much longer than they should have been and can’t wait to get the issue taken care of. To combat this issue, we would install WaterGuard throughout the basement. 

WaterGuard is a subfloor waterproofing system that collects water that leaks through the walls and keeps dirt away from the foundation. It is installed along the perimeter of the basement and on top of the footing of the foundation. Concrete is poured on top and regular flooring can be placed on top.  

Nick and his wife were elated by the craftmanship of work performed by our Ayers crew and loved how kind they were with them and their home. They felt so much relief knowing they wouldn't have to spend hours in the basement cleaning up water anymore.
