Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Jennifer wanted to complete her basement by adding an Egress Window. Her daughter wanted to move into the basement so Jennifer was looking to get a bigger window that would open up the space. She did some searching online and found that Ayers installs Egress Windows so she gave us a call. 

These Egress Windows are much larger than the typical basement window so more natural light and fresh air will fill the room. The most important feature being these windows allow for a safe, quick exit in an emergency situation. This is definitely needed with her daughter wanting to live in the basement. The window will open up her space and make it more inviting for her or any guests that visit.

Jennifer was thankful with the final look of her basement as this Egress Window transformed the room into a regular living space!

The customer called us in dire need of a solution for his leaking basement walls. Heavy rains and outside water pressure had made the problem worse.

We installed WaterGuard® in the entire basement to collect seeping water from their basement walls and drain it into the sump pump. As an added measure, we installed a TrenchDrain™ to catch water that may enter the basement from an outside entryway as well as prevent freezing in the winter. 

The customer also opted to install our new ThermalDry Elite Plank flooring with a beautiful walnut finish in their newly waterproofed basement. Our flooring is inorganic and waterproof, which means you don’t need to worry about your floor harboring mold.

Doug has a partially finished basement and wants to add an egress window to the part that is not finished. Egress windows provide a safe exit in case of emergencies and allow extra natural light into the space!

This family in Grand Ledge gave us a call when they began to experience wetness in their basement. After a professional inspection we decided the best way to ensure their basement would no longer suffer from water problems would be to install our patented TripleSafe sump pump. The TripleSafe system provides three levels of protection for your basement. For normal functioning, the TripleSafe has a powerful ⅓ horsepower sump pump. The ½ hp secondary pump can discharge as much as 3,900 additional gallons of water per hour at an 8-foot head. In the case of a tripped circuit, power outage, or sump failure, your TripleSafe's UltraSump Battery Backup System will kick in. Peace of mind, at last!

The before photo of this basement shows how the leaking water caused water stains and damage to the walls. Water would leak in, flow down the wall, and puddle on the floor. Luckily, the basement was still unfinished, so the leaking water didn’t cause any damage to the carpet. Even better, the BrightWall panel solution in the after photo goes along great with unfinished basements.  The panels are made of rigid plastic and create a moisture barrier for the basement, meaning the water damage that occurred to the concrete walls won’t occur again. As water leaks down the walls, it will stay behind the panels - unseen by anyone in the basement - and flow to a perimeter drainage system at the foot of the wall.  You can see in the after photo where fresh concrete was poured to cover the drainage system. This basement will be fully protected and looking great for years to come.
