Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

The homeowners had a crack going down the length of their wall. To make matters worse water was starting to seep through the crack causing damage to their walls. 

The first reaction to fixing a cracked wall is usually an application of patching mortar or masonaty sealant. Unfortunately, those solutions rarely work because of poor adhension to the masonary or a slight movement along the crack that breaks the seal. These problems needed to be avoided, so our professional team installed the FlexiSpan crack repair system. The FlexiSpan system is a three part project that begins with the application of a flexible sealant along the crack. Next, a strip of flexible and porous foam is installed over the crack. Finally, an impermeable membrane is adhered to the wall on both sides of the foam strip. This fail-safe treatment allows any future seepage of water through the crack to move invisibly down the wall and into the basement’s perimeter drainage system. Unlike sealant or mortar-based crack repair, the FlexiSpan system is not adversely affected by hydrostatic pressure or slight movement in the basement wall. It works under all conditions.

Craig's front walkway was uneven and cracking, causing a major safety hazard. After last summer, it only got worse. Craig called Ayers for an inspection and we determined that his home was the perfect candidate for PolyLevel 

PolyLevel is a system used to repair sinking concrete by drilling minuscule holes into the slab and filling them with foam. The foam raises the slab and fortifies it to make it last even longer. Craig was grateful that we could take care of this problem that has been bugging him for a while. 

Cynthia had moved some furniture in the basement when she found wet carpet. The basement had a sump pump but it was all the way on the other side of the basement so it was not very effective in getting rid of the water that was seeping in. First, we installed the WaterGuard system which consists of a French drain that collects the water as is seeps into the basement and drains it to the sump pump. We then installed the TripleSafe Sump Pump which provides three levels of protection in case of a pump failure or a power outage. Lastly, we installed the SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier which keeps dry air circulating throughout the space to dry out your basement. It's small size its small size makes it easy to keep in the basement since it won't take up much space!

Chris noticed some wet carpet in his basement so he lifted it up and tore some dry wall away to see where the problem was. The water was coming in from the wall and he needed a fix for that since the basement is partially finished and the water could do more damage. We installed the WaterGuard system to keep the water out of the basement. It collects the water and drains it to the sump pump. We also installed the CleanSpace Wall System that keeps water vapor from passing through your foundation walls. With anti-microbial protection called UltraFresh built right in, no mold or mildew will grow on the CleanSpace!

These Holt homeowners were having some issues with their basement. They had some cracks that were starting to separate and water coming into the area in several places. We had solutions for both problems to keep the basement dry and safe. We started with the CarbonArmor to stabilize the walls and keep the wall from moving any further. We then installed the DoubleSafe Sump Pump System which receives water from the drain system and expels it out of the home to keep the area free of water. Lastly, we installed the WaterGuard Drain System which will collect water that seeps into the basement and send it to the sump pump. This drain system is installed under the floor and the concrete is restored so there is no unsightly drain. All of these products install quickly and won't interfere with future basement finishing!
