Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Dan V. wasn't having any basement waterproofing issues but needed to replace an old basement window. Our field supervisor Ron N. designed a solution for Dan V. that included a code-compliant egress window with built-in steps to allow his family a safe exit from their basement room in case of an emergency.

While not pictured, we covered this window well with a safety cover designed to keep debris out while letting in beautiful, natural sunlight. These window well covers can also withstand rust, rot, rain, snow and UV rays. You can see the dramatic difference in the size of the window and the ability for a quick emergency exit.

Benjamin's basement was not looking too hot due to the water leaks he was dealing with so he called Ayers for waterproofing solutions. After we had a crew conduct a free inspection, a decision was made to install our WaterGuard System. Our WaterGuard solution is a sub-floor drainage system that collects water or dirt leaking in through the walls. It is installed along the perimeter of the basement on top of the footing of the foundation and then concealed with concrete. For a more finished look, Ben can have regular installed over this system if he desires as well!

If you have a Michigan Basement, the before picture below may look familiar. A little crumbly, a little leaky, a little "creating creepy corners we don't approach." But it doesn't have to be that way!

This customer called us because their basement was in need of some help. There were small cracks and dampness in the stone walls and they wanted it not only to be dry all the time, but to look a little nicer.

After a SuperSump sump pump, SaniDry humidifier, WaterGuard system with IceGuard and lawn outlets, and CleanSpace installation, the basement is both dry and well out of the creepy range. No more excuses to not do the laundry!

After the installation of WaterGuard and PowerBraces in this Grand Rapids, MI basement, BrightWall was the final touch. BrightWall panels are a good solution for homes that have stains or dark, dirty walls. These panels brighten up the area and work to keep out mold, mildew, and water. Many homeowners choose these panels because of their quick installation time and inorganic, waterproof makeup. 

Note: no scooter was harmed in this installation process. 

This customer reached out to us because there was water coming in through their walls in their basement. To solve the problem, we installed our patented WaterGuard drainage system and CleanSpace encapsulation system. WaterGuard acts to catch all the water that enters into the basement and filter it into the sump pump. Our CleanSpace system, on the other hand, is normally used in crawl spaces to seal off the space from the earth and prevent mold growth. In this situation, though, we found it would be a good solution for this family's basement as well. With these installments, this home's lower level is now dry and safe to use.
