Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Window wells often become filled with plants and vegetation.  This example in Grand Rapids was even starting to crack and fall apart.  The SunHouse window well cover ensures the area won't be filled with unwanted debris and plant life.  The SunHouse's light color and curved shape also works to direct sunlight into your basement to help heat it up a little bit and give the dark basement space some natural sunlight.  

We responded to a call from Andrew, who was looking into a waterproofing system for his basement. He chose Ayers for our years of waterproofing expertise. We sent a crew to the home for a free inspection. Our system design specialists recommended our WaterGuard system. This interior drainage system will collect the water leaking through his basement wall. The water is then sent to his sump pump to keep it off his belongings. To conceal the drain, we pour concrete over the top that will help it blend in. Andrew is elated with the permanent solution provided to him!

This Grandville homeowners had some water issues in their basement and wanted the problem to be fixed. We installed the WaterGuard System to give them peace of mind. This French drain is designed to be installed below the floor slab which keeps the drainage system out of the area where drains can clog. This system collects water that seeps through the basement walls and drains it into your sump pump. WaterGuard is installed with minimal invasion of the slab, and all concrete is restored after installation. 

These homeowners had water coming into the basement but the amaount depends on the amount of rain there was. They are not sure where the water comes from but they think it is from where the walls and the floor meet. We installed the WaterGuard system is a French drain that is installed under the floor but above the foundation to keep it out of the zone where the drain could clog. The system collects water that seeps through the walls in the basement and drains it to the sump pump.

The homeowners had water coming into their home through one of their walls. One one point they had 3 or 4 inches of water pooling into their basement and damaging everything in the area. They knew something needed to be done so they called Ayers Basement Systems.
