Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A home in Canton, MI's crawlspace, part of an addition built in 1992, had inadequate insulation, contributing to moisture and temperature control issues. The dirt floor and poorly installed plastic sheeting allowed moisture to enter, impacting the overall air quality and potentially causing long-term damage. To resolve the issues, they encapsulated the crawlspace using a CleanSpace vapor barrier system, which covers the floor and walls to prevent moisture from entering. The joists and ducts were insulated correctly, and SmartJacks were installed for additional foundation support. The space also had a sump pump to manage water and a dehumidifier to control humidity levels. This setup significantly improved the insulation and moisture control in the crawlspace.

Mike lacked any form of protection for his dirt crawl space. He decided he needed professional help so he gave Ayers a call. We conducted a free inspection at his home and concluded CleanSpace would provide the protection he needed. CleanSpace is a heavy-duty plastic liner made with a vapor barrier that protects the area from excess moisture. When there is a surplus of moisture present in the crawl space, this invites bacteria and mold. This waterproof liner is a much more effective and long-lasting solution than a typical tarp from the store. Mike won't have to stress about mold and water crashing his crawl space!

Gloria called Ayers for remedies to keep her basement and belongings dry! After a free inspection was conducted our professionals determined she could use our WaterGuard System and IceGuard. The WaterGuard system will collect dirt or water seeping in through her basement walls and direct it to the sump system it is hooked to. Then it is concealed with concrete. Lastly we added IceGuard to prevent her exterior discharge lines from freezing or clogging with its antifreeze fitting that has slotted openings which eject water away from the foundation.

Gloria was satisfied with these waterproofing installations that ensure her home stays dry!

Dechelle's home needed an upgraded Egress Window to ensure her family's safety. She had a playroom downstairs for the kids and wanted to replace the small Egress she had installed previously with another company. She called Ayers for the job and the installation process began. Our Egress Window is much larger than the average basement window which allows for more natural light to enter and makes emergency exits quicker and easier. As the kids get older, the small Egress they had would no longer work for the family. Replacing this with our Egress Window was a wise move. The window is waterproof and comes with an exterior well with a step in it. Dechelle's basement is now more welcoming and safe for her family!

Nicole was sick of dealing with the puddles of water forming in her basement after heavy rains. She trusted Ayers with our waterproofing expertise, so she decided to contact us. Our experts determined from a free inspection that our WaterGuard System and TripleSafe Sump Pump System would tackle these leaks. The WaterGuard System is laid on the foundation's footing in the subfloor of the basement and along the perimeter. This drainage system collects water leaking through the walls and sends it to the sump pump. Concrete will conceal the system to ensure it blends with the space. We installed TripleSafe as the new sump pump system. This is a three-pump system that works together to keep water under control and off the floor. This sump pump includes a battery-operated pump that will turn on when the power fails. Nicole was ecstatic with this permanent solution that keeps water off her floor!
