Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Brandon noticed slopping in his floors at home, causing him some concern. He decided to contact Ayers to have a professional opinion. Our resident foreman Evan was able to inspect the area and listen to Brandon's concerns.

Evan noticed the home's crawl space was lacking support so decided to install a set of SmartJack piers.

SmartJack piers are metal beams placed strategically along the structure's supportive rim joist. The bottoms are anchored into the ground with poured concrete while the tops are capped with load-bearing joints that are attached to the rim joist. The entire pier's height is adjusted till there is constant pressure being applied, reintroducing support to the entire framework. 

Our customer was experiencing water seeping into their basement where the floor and wall meet. The water coming has caused damage to the walls. After we waterproofed this customer’s basement we installed our Everlast Panels. Our Everlast Panels helped to cover up the damaged walls and make sure that any additional water that seeped through would drain to the WaterGuard system and goes into the Ultra Sump sump pump. The Ultra Sump sump pump will be pump any water that entered the basement.

Cracks in basement walls can be difficult to waterproof when conventional sealants don't stick well and cracks move and expand. We've helped many homeowners who have tried to waterproof cracks on their own with no success.

Our team does inject sealants into the crack but this is only a first line of defense. We also excavate a small area under the crack creating a drywell a few gallons deep that water will eventually flow into and leach back into the soil. The drywell is filled with crushed stone and the concrete on top is replaced aside from a small gap at the base of the wall where the water is allowed to seep in. The crack is covered with a foam followed by a mold and mildew resistant layer on top. The foam creates a space between the wall and mold resistant layer where water can flow freely into the drywell in the event that the sealants begin to fail. The homeowner will never have to worry about puddles. They'll likely not even know whether the crack is leaking or not. The shop vac can now have a much needed break.

Emily wanted a bigger window to replace the small basement window she had. She discovered Ayers sold larger waterproof basement windows so she gave us a call. Our System Design Specialist recommended our Egress Windows to Emily and she decided to go forward with the installation. 

Our Egress Windows make a great basement window replacement since they are larger they will open up your space more. They also make an excellent source of natural light and will circulate more fresh air into the basement. The window includes a well with a step in it which allows for a quick, easy exit in emergency situations. 

Emily was satisfied with the new look this Egress Window brought her basement as it transformed the room into a regular living space!

Darlene was sick of dealing with leaking walls in her basement, it was time to get these cracks sealed so she called up Ayers. Our System Design Specialists inspected her basement and determined she needed our FlexiSpan solution. This is a great fix as this is a crack repair system that consists of a two-layer sealant that both plugs the crack and creates a drainage route that will be directed to below the wall. This will ensure the water doesn't leak and soak her belongings!
