Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A couple from Grandville, Michigan, were looking for a solution to their annoying water leak. The couple contacted Ayers about a specific place in their basement where water would leak whenever it rained. The team at Ayers determined the FlexiSpan system would be the perfect option after conducting an inspection!

The FlexiSpan process begins with filling the cracks with a unique adhesive in preparation for another layer. Once the gap in the wall was sealed,  A larger portion of FlexiSpan was applied to ensure no water would leak into the house anymore! The couple was thrilled they would no longer need to clean up water in their basement!

Puddles. The only word to describe the aftermath of a water leak in this basement. When water would enter the basement it’d collect in puddles across the floor, making it an area you’d want to avoid. At Ayers, we firmly believe that no basement should have water in it, let alone puddles. To fix this problem, our team got to work installing WaterGuard around the perimeter of this basement. This specially engineered waterproofing system is designed to collect water from the floor and walls. Since the piping sits on top of the footing, it won’t get clogged with mud. The installation of WaterGuard in this basement ensures that puddles are a thing of the past, keeping these floors nice and dry.

Our customer, John C. from Saugatuck, MI, was having problems with water in his basement. Thankfully, we had a solution. Water in basements can cause serious problems over time and we had just the thing to take care of this issue.

We installed our patented SuperSump premier sump pump system for this job. The SuperSump is a sump pump specifically designed to keep your basement dry for long periods of time. Capable of pumping 2,220 gallons of water per hour, it is suitable for heavy water intrusion.

The crack in this was a likely point of entry for water in the basement. It would be easy to go to the hardware store and fix the crack yourself, with mortar or adhesive, but it’s very likely this solution wouldn’t last long, especially if the crack were ever to expand. FlexiSpan crack repair is a warranted repair system that seals the crack in three steps. First, a flexible sealant is applied along the crack, and then porous foam is applied over it. Lastly, an impermeable membrane is applied over the foam, allowing any water that may come through the crack to be caught by the drainage system along the floor. The flexible material of FlexiSpan means the repair covering won’t crack if the walls move in the future. This specially designed system puts a stop to wall leaks, preventing a basement full of water.

A customer had water leaking into her basement which was causing her carpets to get wet and mold to grow in her basement. She called our team and so we installed the SuperSump Premier Sump Pump System. This system can handle high pumping demands better than normal sump pumps. In addition, it will alert you when water levels are too high and has an airtight lid to prevent any unwanted moisture or pests from entering.
