Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This home, built on sandy soil, showed significant foundation concerns, including a cracking basement window and deteriorating block joints near the bottom. With both an addition featuring a block foundation and an original stone Michigan basement, the customer was understandably worried about the stability of their home.

Ayers thoroughly inspected all joints, joists, beams, and footers, then reinforced the foundation and repaired the deteriorating joints. We also applied a clean coating to the basement walls, enhancing the structure’s integrity. Now, with a stable and secure foundation, the homeowner can rest easy knowing their home is safe and sound.

A customer in Stevensville, Michigan called about installing an egress window. The previous window was getting old, worn out and need of an upgrade. Our Egress windows provide a cleaner looking window, while also making the home more energy-efficient. This solution will last for years to come.

Every now and then, businesses need our services too. When Hickory Trace Condos called Ayers saying they need some concrete repair, we were happy to help. After seeing their walkway foundation had faced its fair share of weather erosion, we decided that the best solution for this problem would be to apply Shotcrete to the exterior. With Shotcrete being a quick and easy application which can reinforce an already existing foundation, Ayers was able to give a permanent fix to Hickory Trace Condos' issue.

The homeowners had water coming into their basement through the floor. Water getting into your basement is always a problem, but in this particular case the homeowners had a finished basement and the water was causing damage to it. Something needed to be done! 

Our professional team installed the WaterGuard long lasting interior perimeter drainage system to stop the water from causing anymore damage. The system sits on the top of the footing along the perimeter of the basement in order to prevent clogging from mud or other debris.

The system works by trapping floor and wall seepage in its drain before it has a chance to damage the area. Once the water is in the drain it is immediately taken to the sump pump. The sump pump then removes the water from the basement leaving the area clean and dry! 

The before picture shows the basement floor that was being damaged because of the water and the after picture shows the system before it is neatly covered to look like new! 

Steve noticed a crack in his basement wall that went from the top all the way to the bottom. That crack has had some water leak through in the past which he wanted to stop. There were also cracks around his egress window that he wanted patched. He was planning on getting his basement finished so he needed to know that water would not seep in and that the cracks would not get worse. We used FlexiSpan to seal the cracks and keep water from entering the basement. It moves with the wall to provide a permanent solution, installs quickly, and can easily be covered by basement wall finishings.
