Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

The window in the before photo leads to a basement bedroom. After recently purchasing the home, the new owner requested our services to install a replacement window that would brighten up the room. The egress windows in the after photo do just that. As you can see when comparing the photos, the new window is much larger and lets in a lot more light. The window extends below the grade while the inorganic plastic well protects it from groundwater or other elements. Egress windows are the perfect way to compliment any basement bedroom.

Basements can get nasty -- that's a known fact. Add water to the equation? You're in trouble. To fix the appearance that water damage has done to this Traverse City family's basement walls, we installed our patented BrightWall basement wall panels. BrightWall's bright white color maximizes the available light in your basement clean-looking space. BrightWall is also completely waterproof and washable, and is built to block out water vapor and humidity. No more worrying about moisture and mold in your basement with this clean look!

A homeowner called us looking to install an Egress replacement window. An Egress window is amazing to allow natural light to come in. The window also protects from the elements and water. An egress window is large enough to allow safe exit out of the basement due to an emergency. Another satisfied customer! 

Christopher was on the lookout for a company that would sell him an Egress Window that would replace his small basement window. He found that Ayers sells Egress Windows and decided to make the call. Our customer care team spoke with Chris and an appointment was set.

These Egress Windows are the perfect fit for basements because they are larger which will open up the space making it feel less like a dark dungeon and more like a finished room. More natural light and fresh air will fill the room. They also provide a safe exit option for emergencies and are waterproof which will come in handy during heavy rains. Chris was very happy to complete his basement with this window!

The owners of this home were looking to make an upgrade from their previous window and well. As you can see in the before photo, the old well was made from metal. Metal wells can be a disaster when it comes to erosion and allowing water to come through.

As a replacement, our crew put in the plastic SunHouse well in the after photo. It’s made from inorganic plastic that won’t rust or allow water to permeate through. Neither the crew nor the owners were sure which egress cover would be preferred. So, the crew took both a dome and flat lid with them and allowed the owners to decide. Both options are airtight and won’t allow water or any type of debris to pass through. As you can see, the owner’s elected to go with the dome option. Either option would have been great for the home and will stand tough to water.
