Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Jack and Patti’s 127 Victorian home had very little water coming in from the crawl space, but Jack wanted to make sure his home was still stable given its age. The couple called Ayers for an inspection, and our crew determined that their foundation would need lots of work. We installed SmartJacks, CleanSpace, and a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier.  

SmartJacks are steel supports that balance the foundation of the crawlspace, lifting it to its original position. They can be adjusted so the home will never shift out of place and are anchored into the ground with poured concrete. 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. Finally, the SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier automatically removes up to 100 pints of water a day from the air in the home’s basement. This system circulates the now dry air through the basement and automatically removes the leftover water so you don’t have to. 

Jack and Patti were absolutely thrilled with the service Ayers provided. The couple could not be happier with the work done and products installed!

Power Braces are a great tool that provides immediate stabilization to a foundation but also straightens the wall over time. They are inserted without any digging - anywhere- which allows for a clean swift installation appointment.

A customer had flooding in his basement due to his sump pump system overflowing. So our team installed TripleSafe, a sump pump system that’s main goal is to keep your basement dry. This system provides ultimate protection against all basement leakage and any moisture problems. There are three pumps within this system including one battery powered pump. Therefore, it can handle the highest pumping demands. 

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!

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.
