Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Homeowners wanted to turn their basement into a livable space. So they contacted our team and we installed an egress window and well. Regular windows offer minimal protection against outside air entering the home because they are poorly insulated around the window. Egress windows will help ventilate your indoor areas and prevent unwanted allergens from entering your house. Also, egress windows provide a safe exit in case of emergency so they are required in finished basement living areas. In addition, these windows provide lots of natural light.

Calvin J. from Beaverton, MI has a sump pump in his basement but was still getting water in his basement and could not figure out why. Good thing for him, he gave us a call for a fix.

We installed our patented WaterGuard French drain system for this job. The WaterGuard drain is placed beneath the basement floor but above the foundation footing, collecting water that seeps into the basement from the walls. Once this water is collected in the drain, it is redirected to the sump pump to be pumped up and out fo the basement. 

David and Marie are retiring soon and moving up North. When they went in the home, they noticed a musty odor. They called Ayers for an inspection and we saw that there was no standing water at the time, but  there were signs of some water intrusion at some point. Our crew determined that David and Marie would need CleanSpace to properly address their concerns. 

The CleanSpace Wall System is a moisture barrier that uses a thick plastic liner along basement and crawl space walls to keep them dry and last decades longer. It also has antibacterial properties that prevent mold and bacteria growth.  Damp air takes more energy to heat and cool. Cutting down on the moisture in the crawl space, in turn, will cut down on how much it costs to heat or cool the home.

David and Marie were thrilled to be able to get this taken care of and have to musty scent gone before they officially move in. They were more than pleased with the work performed by Ayers and can’t wait to start their retired lives together.

Tim M. from Grand Rapids, MI had lived with a stair step crack in his basement wall for 14 years before reaching out for our help. This type of crack poses a serious threat to the structural integrity of the home, and thankfully, we had a solution to this problem.

We installed our patented CarbonArmor wall reinforcing system for this job. CarbonArmor uses the same technology as the Army Corps of Engineers designed to reinforce bomb shelters to stabilize your basement walls. The system consists of fiber reinforced polymer that is 10 times as strong as steel, maximizing the utility of the product. And as a bonus, no excavation is needed.

Kat noticed water leaking into her basement through some wall cracks which was frustrating for her as this was making her belongings wet. She decided to make the call to Ayers for professional help and our crew was able to determine she needed our WaterGuard System and our TripleSafe Sump Pump System after a free inspection was conducted. The WaterGuard System will provide the perfect fix for her as this is a sub-floor drainage system that will collect water leaking in through the walls. It is placed along the perimeter of the basement and concealed with concrete. TripleSafe is a three pump system that fits in one durable liner, keeping water out of her basement. 

Kat was very grateful to have a waterproofing system installed that will permanently protect her basement belongings!
