Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Transforming Leaky Grand Rapids, MI Basement Into Comfy, Healthy Family Space

Water issues in your basement do not need to stop you from having the beautiful family space you've dreamed of. Kevin H. called Ayers Basement Systems as soon as he saw water leaking into his basement through his walls. Intrusive water put his finished basement at risk of developing mold, damp conditions rotting wood, and possibly destroying existing carpets and finishings. The bottom line: a leaky basement doesn’t get better or cheaper with time. Kevin H. opted to install our complete WaterGuard french drain system to create a healthy, dry basement for his family. This drainage system is designed to catch leaking water from basement walls as well as any water entering from outside entryways. It then funnels the water to a pump which pushes the water a safe distance from the home outside. Kevin H. also opted to make the most of his newly dry basement and had new waterproof Basement To Beautiful™ wall panels installed as well as an egress window allowing more light to enter the space as well as a safe exit.

Water Seeping in Through Wall Cracks

A damp basement is bad news for the rest of your home. Water entering through wall cracks or from the ground can cause mold, cracked foundation walls, attic rot, etc. Ignoring a damp basement will cost you over time.

TripleSafe Sump Pump Removes Water From Home

Our TripleSafe sump pump system boasts three sump pumps in one sump liner. It is designed to pump between 12,000 gallons of water per maintenance-free battery installed.

Protecting Against Snow and Ice

The discharge line for a sump pump is buried underground and removes water as far from your home as possible. They can be blocked by snow and ice during the winter. If the pipe is frozen, water will not be able to exit through the discharge line and will go back into the home, which can cause it to flood. Our IceGuard allows water to easily exit the home, even if the pipes are frozen.

Goodbye Concrete Walls, Hello Waterproof Panels!

Our Basement to Beautiful panels are attached to your foundation walls and create a warm, protective blanket around your basement.

Don't Forget the Floor

Water vapor can also enter your basement through the floor slab. If you have a wooden floor slab (big no-no!) that can lead to rot and mold. This customer decided to install our waterproof ThermalDry grey plank system throughout the basement.
