Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Frank and Kelly just moved into their home and noticed the foundation started to sink. They wanted to do the renovations themselves but called Ayers to see if we had any advice. We informed Frank and Kelly that this was a job for professionals and that our SmartJacks would be the perfect solution. SmartJacks are steel supports to balance the foundation of your crawl space, lifting it to its original position. They can be adjusted so your home will never shift out of place. Frank and Kelly were grateful that they can sleep peacefully in their new home for years to come.

Anne was worried the water pooling in her basement could cause problems or lead to significant damage, so she called Ayers. We sent our experts to her home, who realized Anne's issue was a sump pump failure. They recommended and installed TripleSafe, which has three pumps, one of which is battery-powered in case of a power outage. Anne is happy her basement is permanently dry!

Candy was looking into getting a dehumidifier to keep the basement clear of excess moisture and she wanted to cover the floors with tiles that would make the basement more attractive. She realized Ayers had the solutions she was looking for so after calling us we sent a crew to install our SaniDry XP Dehumidifier and the tile she wanted for the flooring as well. SaniDry XP Dehumidifier will clean and filter the air, preventing the excess moisture that leads to nasty mold or growth. Then we added the tile over her flooring to make her basement look more finished and attractive!

Steve was worried about the lack of protection in his basement. There was no waterproofing system in place to stop water from seeping in and ruining his precious belongings. He called Ayers for the job and a crew was sent to the home for a free inspection. Our professionals can make the best recommendations after inspecting the particular problem area. Our solution was to install our subfloor drainage system known as the WaterGuard System. This system is installed along the perimeter of the basement and laid on the foundation's footing to prevent clogging. If water does permeate through the walls, it will be collected in the drain and directed to his sump pump. Concrete is poured over the system as well to conceal it. This drain will keep Steve's basement looking clean and dry!

Casey just purchased Sterling Heights home that was built in 1938 and the seller never disclosed that there was water in the crawl space with and a terrible DIY fix. She called Ayers for an inspection, and our crew determined she would need WaterGuard and a TripleSafe.  

WaterGuard is a sub-floor waterproofing system that collects water that leaks through the walls and keeps dirt away from the foundation. It is installed along the perimeter of the basement and on top of the footing of the foundation. Concrete is poured on top and regular flooring can be placed on top. A TripleSafe sump pump system utilizes three pumps in order to remove excess water from the basement. The second and third pumps are in case of emergencies so the basement can remain dry, even when the power goes out. 

Casey was angry that the seller didn’t disclose the state of the crawlspace, but extremely grateful to Ayers that we could get her new home safe and dry for her and her family. She’s thrilled she never has to worry about flooding or an unstable foundation ever again.
