Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Water was leaking into this bank owned property through the basement walls and puddling on the floor. As you can see, the top half of the stone foundation was covered by the molding and failing fiberglass insulation which was offering little protection from the leaking walls behind it. The bottom half of the wall had a small retaining wall poured in front of it which was also allowing water to easily penetrate and leak down.

To create a barrier that would stop water from flowing into the basement, the crew removed the fiberglass insulation and replaced it with the foam spray, FrothPak. FrothPak is a waterproof insulation that can also be used to seal up leaks. For the retaining wall, the crew used the CleanSpace Wall Vapor Barrier  The plastic liner was installed to cover both the ledge and retaining wall, and it will allow water to drain behind the barrier. If water does continue to enter through the stone foundation, it will flow into a newly installed perimeter drainage system below (not pictured). With a full system like this working together, this basement will remain dry and will no longer need that gross fiberglass insulation.

The homeowner in Lake Odessa, MI gave us a call when he realized his basement needed some waterproofing due to the winter snow! Our professional team knew exactly what to do! 

The team installed our IceGuard system on the pipes that are outside of the home for the water from your sump pump to travel through. The sump pump discharge line can freeze in the winter months when the ground freezes. The IceGuard system automatically allows the water to escape from the sump pump discharge line if the water freezes or gets clogged for any reason. This system makes sure that the water is not going back into your house! 

Thanks to IceGuard the homeowner doesn't have to worry about water getting into his home during the winter months! 

The homeowner was shocked when he went downstairs to find 14-16 inches of water in his basement! The sump pump he has was not doing what he needed to be done so he called Ayers Basement Systems to tackle the job! 

Our professional team installed a TripleSafe sump pump into the homeowner's basement. The TripleSafe sump pump is actually three sump pumps in one. The first pump will do most of the pumping very effectively. The second pump is more powerful and has a separate discharge line that will be there for you in case the first pump fails. The third pump is equipped with batteries so it will still work effectively in case the power goes out. The TripleSafe sump pump will keep the homeowner's basement dry with triple protection and is the most reliable sump pump you could have! 

Cristina and her husband have a partially finished basement that they are working on redoing to make it homier. The first thing they wanted to tackle was getting an egress window installed. They provide a safe exit in case of emergencies and bring more natural light into the space making the room look larger.

Cristina and Bob wanted to waterproof their basement and put up some type of wall panels since their basement is only partially finished. We installed a perimeter drain system to connect with the sump pump, a dehumidifier to keep the space dry and filter the air, and also 2 different wall panels to keep the space dry and warm.

The WaterGuard Below Floor Drain collects water that leaks into the basement and sends it to the sump pump to be expelled outside the home. The SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier is small in size so it doesn't take up much basement space. It helps to dry out the space as well as filters the air and has an automatic drainage so the water collects goes to the perimeter drain. 

The BrightWall acts as a vapor barrier to keep out humidity and water vapor. It can also direct water seepage to the perimeter drain to keep it out of the home. By keeping the space dry, you protect your home from mold and rot. The Basement to Beautiful Wall Panels insulate the basement with our unique SilverGlo insulation. They also create a space between the cold foundation walls and the basement to avoid cold spots!
