Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Our friend, Don D. from Kalamazoo, MI is no stranger to the Ayers Basement Systems family. He believes in the quality work we do and has invited us back to his home several times to complete various different projects. That’s why Don called us again when he became worried about the major mold concerns developing below his home. Mold can develop in your home in a variety of ways. High humidity and water leaking in create the perfect breeding ground for mold, and ultimately, this hazardous allergen can create aesthetic and respiratory ailments alike. Removing mold from your home is crucial for the health and well-being of everyone inside. Our team of expert crew members can help. We have developed an innovate solution called Mold-X to promptly treat the mold that may have grown in your basement or crawl space. In order to prevent mold from growing back after using this product, the treated area must be kept dry and without humidity. This is why we offer this affordable treatment along with our waterproofing services. Call us today to set up your free home inspection appointment!

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!

A basement wall in Kalamazoo, MI had vertical cracks going all the way down the length of it. Our professional team took one look at the wall and knew something had to be done. In the before picture, you can see what the vertical cracks going all the way down the wall look like.

We decided that out CarbonArmor system would be the best option! The flexible, fabric straps our team installed on the wall are stronger than concrete, 10 times stronger than steel and are specifically designed to be used on basement walls. The unique flexible design allows the CarbonArmor system to contour tightly to the cracks in the wall. In the after picture, you can see the fixed wall with the CarbonArmor system installed. The wall is now as strong as ever and the cracks are fixed! 

We sent a system design specialist out to this home in Kalamazoo because the foundation walls had horizontal cracks and it seemed as if the wall was almost tipping inward. Our system design specialists do a complete inspection inside and outside the home to ensure we offer the best advice and solution. After inspecting everything and talking it over with the homeowner, we both decided that our GeoLock Wall Anchor System would be the best fix to the cracking foundation.

GeoLock Wall Anchors are connected to earth anchors that are embedded into the soil out away from the foundation. The most unique benefit to Wall Anchors is their ability to be tightened over time which gives the wall the best chance at straightening back to its original position. Wall anchors can fix very severe bowing and leaning walls. They also solve the problem once and for all so no more worrying about your weakening foundation.

This Kalamazoo, MI home was built in 2001 and is now starting to show slight foundation concerns. There is a vertical crack in one of the basement walls that goes all the way down. While there isn't any water coming in yet the homeowners wanted to take some precautionary measures. 

Our system design specialist did a thorough inspection inside and outside the home to come up with a solution that would fix the cracking wall and suit the homeowners. The answer seemed to point right at CarbonArmor straps. Carbon Armor is flexible but unbelievably strong so it can stop the wall from bowing any further. It is also a good repair option for people who don't have much space for excavation on the outside of their home.
