Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

The homeowner noticed uneven floors in their Lansing home and was unsure whether it was due to sagging or sloping. The Ayers team inspected the crawlspace, which had a 4-foot height and a decent-sized entry. They identified that the floors needed reinforcement to stabilize the structure. The team installed supports in the crawlspace to level the floors, providing a permanent solution to the homeowner's concerns about the unevenness. This approach helped improve the stability of the home and ensured the floors were secure.

Basement floors are often made up of wood sub-floors. The problem with wood is if something were to start leaking in your basement, you’re in big trouble. They are easily ruined by water and are the perfect surface for mold growth.

We installed our ThermalDry flooring system, a system made with the only plastic, all inorganic subfloor in the world. It won’t be ruined by water, vapor can’t pass through, and mold won’t grow on it. There are a variety of finishes to choose from so you don’t have to compromise style for functionality.

This Eaton Rapids homeowner has an area in her basment that has water entering where the floor and wall meet. We installed the WaterGuard to keep the water out of her basement. This system is installed under the floor but above the foundation and drains the water that is collected to the sump pump to be expelled out of the home.

After watching a section of their basement wall repeatedly leak during rains, this Eaton Rapids, MI couple decided that enough was enough. They were optimistic that the leaking cracks could be fixed with a noninvasive procedure that could permanently solve the problem. A quick call to Ayers confirmed that they were right, we had just the product they needed.

Our FlexiSpan wall system is really a combination of two systems: Flexispan itself, and a drainage system installed at the foot of the wall. The team started by removing a portion of the corner floor to make room for the drainage system. Once the pipes were laid, fresh concrete was poured back into the excavated square. You can see the darker color floor in the after picture where the new concrete was added. To seal the actual crack, FlexiSpan was placed deep into the walls. Another layer of sealant was then laid over the durable and flexible FlexiSpan to act as a drainage layer. This layer will direct water flow down to the drainage system below for discharge. The two systems working together will keep this basement corner dry, no matter how hard the rain is falling. As an added bonus, the FlexiSpan sealant looks much better than the previous water stains. 

Vickie decided she needed a waterproofing job for her basement to ensure her home stays dry so she gave Ayers a call. After we conducted a free inspection at her home it was settled that our WaterGuard System and TripleSafe Sump Pump System would do the trick. The WaterGuard System will collect water or dirt that seeps into her basement through the walls as it is placed along the basement's perimeter below the floor. It will also be concealed with concrete so that it will blend in when it dries. Next we hooked this system to TripleSafe which is where the water will be directed to as this has three pumps that ensure water stays out!
