Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Dan does not have water issues in his home but his basement walls were flaking due to effervescence. He wants to finish the space but was unsure how to go about it so we installed Brightwall Basement Wall Panels. These wall panels are plastic sheets that are attached to the walls with drilled-in plastic fasteners. The bright, white color of the wall paneling maximizes the light in the basement which creates a clean and fresh look. They are also waterproof and create a vapor barrier to block out water vapor and humidity to protect from mold and rotting. 

This Grand Rapids home has a basement what was partially finished by the previous owners. The new owners want to finish the whole basement and noticed that some areas that were already finished needed to be redone. They called us to see what we could do to get their basement ready. We installed the Basement to Beautiful Panels to insulate the space and get the walls ready for paneling!

Mr. Emmert was suffering from foundational issues that were causing unsightly problems with his basement. Wanting to keep the space usable as a gym, he contacted Ayers to find a stabilization method that would give his home the best support, all while saving as much space as possible. After contacting our team, Ayers's resident foreman Blade was able to inspect the home and draft a treatment plan that met Mr. Emmert's needs and budget.

Blade prescribed PowerBraces for the structure. By lining the weak wall with steel beams that fix to the rim joist, they are able to push the wall back into place all while adding new support to the basement. A permeate solution, these braces can be easily hidden or even have drywall placed over it.

Now Mr. Emmert has a safe and stable home, all while never sacrificing living space.

Deb’s front walkway of her Grand Rapids, MI started to sink a few years ago. Recently, it’s gotten much worse, sinking 9 inches in some places. Animals have started to burrow underneath and it has become a major safety hazard. Deb called Ayers for an inspection and our crew decided that PolyLevel and NexusPro would solve her problems instantly. 

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 intact for years.  

Deb was ecstatic with the work done by the Ayers crew. She was so happy to finally not have to worry about her friends and family tripping while they walk up to her house! 

Mary called Ayers looking for some waterproofing systems since she had no sump pump or system to put an end to the water leaks she would experience after heavy rains. After a free inspection we were able to determine she needed our WaterGuard System along with our TripleSafe Sump Pump System.

With WaterGuard, this is a below-floor drainage system that will collect the water leaking from her basement walls. It is placed along the perimeter of the basement. Since Mary had no sump pump we decided to install TripleSafe which consists of three pumps in one durable liner which work together to keep water out. The first pump will get most of the water out, the second will run if assistance is needed, and the last pump is battery-operated so it will turn on during power failures.

Mary was relieved to get these pesky water issues tackled permanently!
