Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A customer from Okemos called us about receiving a free estimate on their basement so we drove out to their property. We checked their basement and noticed that the current sump pump is not suitable for defeating Michigan weather. We upgraded basement by replacing their Sump Pump with a TripleSafe Sump Pump. TripleSafe is a sump pump with three different pumps in one liner. The first being the 1/3 hp zoeller pump which does most of the pumping and is placed at the bottom of the liner. The second is the 1/2 hp zoeller that is placed slightly higher than the first. This pump is more powerful but will only be turned on when needed. The final pump is the battery-operated UltraSump DC which is used in case of a power outage, this pump can pump up to 24,000 gallons of water. Now, this Okemos homeowner won't have to worry about their basement flooding ever again.

Deena realized her basement lacked an escape route and wanted one installed. She knew she couldn't do this herself, so after researching her options, she called Ayers for help. Our experts visited her home and recommended installing an egress window to provide easy escapes during emergencies. Egress windows are built to withstand pressure caused by heavy soil and water and prevent surface falls with a polycarbonate safety cover. Deena feels much safer in her basement!

Joe had been monitoring his wet basement for years, but when the water began to affect having his grandkids spend the night downstairs, he needed a solution. We installed our TripleSafe™ Sump Pump to help direct the unwanted basement water into our pump and discharged a safe distance away from the home. In addition, we installed our CleanSpace® Wall Vapor Barrier to make the walls appear clean and fresh, but also help hold back water vapor passing through and directing the water into the sump pump. With heavy rainfall, Joe would no longer have to worry if his basement would remain dry.

James just bought his home in Okemos, MI and was looking forward to making some renovations. He was looking to have his small basement windows replaced with larger ones. After calling Ayers, our crew decided Egress Windows would be a great addition for his basement.

Egress Windows make excellent basement windows as they are larger, which opens up the space. More natural light and air will flow into your basement. This makes the basement more inviting, especially if you want to have a finished basement where guests will be. These windows also provide a safe exit option in the event an emergency occurs.

James is ecstatic with the results of his new Egress Windows as he now will be able to achieve the finished basement look he desires!

Melissa and Robert's Okemos, MI home has a cinderblock foundation with a finished basement. The couple were looking to invest in an egress window to make the basement safer for their new child. They immediately called Ayers Basement Systems for the job. 

Egress windows from Ayers bring together safety and beauty in one. Building codes require that basement living spaces must have a large enough window to safely evacuate in case of emergency. Our windows have built-in steps and durable covers that hold up to 500 pounds. Because adding an egress window requires cutting a hole in the foundation, a window installation company is not the safest option. Ayers knows foundations and knows how to install an egress window properly.  

Melissa and Robert were thrilled with the installation! They feel like their child now has the perfect space to grow, learn, and play safely.
