Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

The basement window Rebecca currently had was not doing the trick anymore and it was very unattractive as it was starting to fall apart. She decided to call Ayers about getting an Egress Window installed to replace it. Egress Windows are larger which allows for more natural light to flow into the room, making it feel more inviting rather than dark and unwelcoming. These windows are waterproof and come with an exterior well to protect against excess water, especially during heavy rains. The main benefit is that the windows provide a safe exit option in the case an emergency occurs and you need to leave the basement quickly. Rebecca was happy with the way the Egress Window transformed her basement space to a brighter, more finished room!

The walls in the basement of this home were starting to bow, and water was making its way into the basement. It was clear that both of these issues needed to be addressed if the basement ever wanted to see drier days.

To fix the bowed walls, PowerBraces were used. These zinc-coated beams that are resistant to corrosion, support the basement walls and can be tightened to allow for potentially straightening the walls over time.

To prevent water from collecting in puddles on the floor, WaterGuard, a perimeter subfloor drainage system, does the trick. The metal piping is installed on top of the footing so it won’t ever get clogged with mud if the soil gets wet. WaterGuard efficiently collects water from the walls and reroutes it to the sump pump. 

Dennis and Blanca began to notice large puddles of water whenever it rained. While rain is great for growing the greenery outside of the home, water aides in growing mold and fungi inside as well. 

Our systems design specialist recommended a full basement waterproofing, including a SaniDry XP Air System and an egress window installation. The SaniDry XP Basement Air System is a powerful dehumidifier designed to remove 10 times the amount of water from the air as a regular dehumidifier. As a result, dry and clean air is produced and ultimately reducing the risk of mold growth. The egress window installation also allows more natural light in the home to eliminate mold and mildew growth. 

Our customer called with a crack in the foundation in her basement's closet. The crack was leaking and subsequently causing a mold problem.

We used the FlexiSpan wall crack repair system to seal the crack and solve the issue of leaking.
