Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

After the heat from a steam cleaner damaged the floors in this home, the homeowners were forced to replace them. They called Ayers to install ThermalDry tiles, which is the only and best option for inorganic, water resistant flooring. Also resistant to water vapor and mold, these tiles are raised slightly off the floor with small pegs, so water won’t get trapped in them. They come in a variety of finishes, including a Parquet wood look as shown in this home. 

In this before photo, it’s clear to see the water coming in at the wall/floor joint. WaterGuard collects this water and stops it from spreading to the rest of the basement. The specially designed piping is laid around the perimeter of the room on top of the footing of the foundation, which prevents mud and dirt from clogging the pipe. When water leaks in through the walls, it’s caught by WaterGuard and rerouted to the sump pump to discharge it from the basement.

Jewell C. needed to waterproof her basement. She had a sump pump, but that wasn’t enough. The house was built in 1962 and made of block walls. Houses made of block walls often allow moisture to seep through the cracks. This moisture can be a factor making your basement cold and allowing for mold growth. We not only installed Waterguard to ensure all the water is flowing to the sump pump but we installed BrightWall Paneling. BrightWall brightens your basement, giving it a finished look while protecting it. It keeps water vapor from coming through the walls and drains the water to the WaterGuard system.

Lastly, we installed our ThermalDry Floor System. The ThermalDry Floor System is made of inorganic materials: this means that water won’t ruin them and mold can’t grow. The tiles are also not sitting right on top of your concrete floors. They have raised pegs that make sure water doesn’t damage them and keeps your new floor warmer.  In addition, if one or two tiles ever get ruined in one of those high traffic areas, you won't have to replace your entire floor, but just those few tiles.

This home in Battle Creek already had our SuperSump sump pump installed in the basement for waterproofing but wanted their basement finished. They decided on our EverLast wall panels and ThermalDry parquet flooring. Both of these products are inorganic and waterproof, so they won't allow mold growth or moisture into the basement. The EverLast panels are very durable and hard, so it's almost impossible to dent. You can also hang anything on them without having to find studs. The ThermalDry Parquet flooring looks like real wood, but won't absorb water and swell up from water vapor. Both of these options are great for keeping your basement dry and they look amazing when completed.

A customer needed to make sure their crawl space was entirely sealed off to make sure her house was ready to sell. So she called our team and we installed an Everlast Window. EverLast windows are made from insulated glass so you won't have to worry about heat loss or water seeping through cracks in the window. In addition, EverLast windows do not rot no matter how much water they are in contact with. Therefore, installing an EverLast window let you relax and no longer have to worry about water intrusion.
