Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

The owners of this Decatur, MI rental home started to notice moisture in the walls and throughout the carpet in this room. They did what they could to dry out the space, including running a dehumidifier, but nothing worked. Our team came and revealed that the moisture had indeed done some damage— causing mold and mildew to grow behind the drywall. The best option to combat this was to replace the drywall along the perimeter of the room and replace it with EverLast wall panels. These cement boards have a washable, vinyl finish and are more resistant to water than traditional drywall. ThermalDry tiles, which are the only inorganic subfloors resilient to water and mold, were then installed making this room dry and mold-free. 

Trista and Chris of Decatur, MI had dealt with basement water issues for years, but worsening conditions pushed them to take action. After a free inspection from Ayers Basement Systems, they chose a customized waterproofing solution featuring the TripleSafe™ sump pump and WaterGuard® system. Now, they’re on their way to enjoying a dry, functional space for their family once again.

The crawlspace had several issues, including a concrete floor with potential moisture concerns, rusted beams, and inadequate insulation. There was also a possibility of a leak, and the access to the crawlspace was through the interior, making it challenging to maintain. To solve these problems, the team encapsulated the crawlspace with a barrier to prevent moisture intrusion and improve air quality. They also applied spray foam insulation along the floor joists after removing the old insulation to ensure proper thermal protection. 

Scott and Jody Contacted Ayers looking for a solution for their home. Within their basement, there were noticeable cracks in the foundation. Once contacting Ayers, An appointment was set up for a thorough home assessment. Based on the assessment results, the team at Ayers concluded that GeoLock Wall Anchors would be best for the situation. 

GeoLock Wall Anchors act as an anchoring system to pull walls back into their original place while providing support. A load-bearing plate is buried outside of the home, serving as the anchor, and a steel rod is drilled through the foundation and to the load-bearing plate. Lastly, Wall plates are bolted into place on the interior side of the wall and tightened onto the steel rod. Once everything was connected and tightened in Scott and Jody's home, their foundation was stabilized, and the cracked foundation was no longer problematic! 

These Mulliken homeowners have a very big water problem in their basement. The water even flows across the floor as well as along the wall. We installed the WaterGuard system to keep the water out of the basement. The drain is under the floor and collects the water that seeps in. The water is then drained to the new sump pump, the TripleSafe, that we installed. The TripleSafe offers three levels of protection to the homeowner. In cases of power outages or some levels malfunctioning, the sump will continue to work and keep the basement try.
