Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A homeowner called in with a few issues going on in his basement. He had cracks on the wall and on the floor, that was allowing water to flow in. After calling other company to remove the water in his basement, he decided to call Ayers.

One of our System Design Specialist took a trip out to see the damage. After reviewing the problems, our System Design Specialist suggested our French Drain System was required to prevent and protect against rain entering the basement again. 

Our French Drain System consist of an effective perimeter drainage system. This system is installed underneath the flooring near the walls in a basement. Water that enters the home is caught by these pipes and run down to a sump pump. There, the sump pump will carry the water away from the home through a drainage pipe. This allows for a dry basement, all the time. 

Amos' entire driveway was cracked and not level. He was nervous the cracks would get worse this winter and worried about someone tripping. He called Ayers, and after an inspection, our crew determined that PolyLevel and NexusPro would be the perfect solution for the driveway. 

The PolyLevel system is used to repair sinking concrete by drilling minuscule holes into the slab and filling them with foam. The foam raises the slab and fortifies it to make it last even longer. NexusPro is a sealant that fills the cracks in the concrete. It is extremely withstanding to harsh weather so it will remain flexible for years. 

Amos was overjoyed to be able to finally get this project out of the way. He no longer has to worry about his family and friends tripping on the way up to the house and can rest easy knowing he won't have to replace the whole driveway in a few years. 

Jacob plans on finishing his Kentwood, MI basement and wants to add another bedroom. To do so, he called Ayers for an inspection for an egress window installation. 

Egress windows from Ayers bring safety and beauty in one. Building codes require that basement living spaces must have a large enough window to safely evacuate in case of emergency. Our windows have built-in steps and durable covers that hold up to 500 pounds. Because adding an egress window requires cutting a hole in the foundation, a window installation company is not the safest option. Ayers knows foundations and knows how to install an egress window properly. 

Jason was thrilled with the installation done by the Ayers crew. He was more than satisfied with the egress window and can’t wait to finish the rest of the basement! 

Janice was hoping to put an end to the puddles of water that would form in her basement due to water intrusion so she decided to call Ayers. After our crew came out to her home to inspect the area, it was determined that she could use our WaterGuard System as well as our TripleSafe Sump Pump System. First with WaterGuard this is a drainage system placed below the concrete flooring in the basement along the perimeter to ensure water is collected here rather than going on the floor. It will be concealed with concrete and hooked to the TripleSafe Sump Pump we added next. With TripleSafe, this is a three pump system that fits in one sturdy liner that keeps water out. The last two pumps are there for backup and one is battery-operated for power outages. Janice was happy to have these troublesome puddles resolved!

When life threw unexpected water woes at a Kalamazoo homeowner's 20-year sanctuary, our mission was clear. Before: a dreary basement corner showcased telltale signs of groundwater seepage, the aftermath of a plumbing disaster revealed. Notice in the photo, the rotted wood and a worn-out patch of cement cried out for attention. After: enter fix, our SaniDry Sedona and CleanSpace Vapor Barrier, bringing back peace, dryness, and stability. As you can see, what was once a problematic corner turns into a showpiece of security and reliability. With us, it's not just about fixing problems—it's about restoring comfort and ensuring it lasts.
