Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This homeowner wanted to get an egress window installed in their basement in place of one of the smaller windows. This is a safe and smart idea as they plan to build a few bedrooms in the basement. Due to building code, if you have bedrooms in your basement you need to have two ways to escape in case of an emergency. The first one being the door and the second is usually a window large enough to climb out of. We were able to install a nice, large egress window in this basement. It's now ready for bedrooms to be added and lived in safely.

This Middleville, MI resident was in the process of preparing to sell her home when she gave us a call. Worried that water seepage through a small crack in her wall would hinder the sale, she sought us out looking for an effective solution that wouldn’t break the bank.

FlexiSpan was just the thing for her. The flexible polymer was plugged into the crack to create a durable seal that will hold back water. After the sealant was in place, a drainage layer was added in front of the seal. If any water should penetrate the first layer, it will flow down the wall behind the drainage layer and into the newly installed drainage system at the foot of the wall. Hopefully, the rest of this sale goes as smoothly as the installation of the FlexiSpan system.

Joe and his wife Laura have a stone foundation in their 1930's farm home. They are concerned because water is coming into the basement and the sump pump is not pumping it outside. We used the WaterGuard to collect the water as it came into the basement and send it to the sump pump. It is a perimeter drain but installed under the floor. The concrete is restored after installation so there is not an ugly drain in the basement. It installs quickly so it is not an inconvenience to get the issue fixed! 

Richard realized the water from outside was leaking into his crawl space and causing a nasty smell upstairs. He knew his old sump pump must have failed, so he called Ayers for help. Our team stopped by his house and suggested the SmartSump pump. This system is designed specifically for small spaces and includes WaterWatch, the alarm system intended to alert the homeowner when water leaks past the sensor. Richard loves having a dry crawl space!

Karl noticed his old sump pump had failed, and water leaked into his basement. This wasn't a good sign, so he researched his options online and called Ayers to learn about our waterproofing solutions. We sent a crew of experts to his house to assess the situation, and they suggested installing the TripleSafe sump pump. TripleSafe is engineered to prevent and react to pump failure by including a backup pump and a battery-powered pump in case of power outages. Karl is confident in his new plan!
