Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Michael is 75 years old and has had water intrusion in his basement where the wall meets the ceiling for a while. The water would seep in whenever it rained and he would use a shop-vac and sand to sop up the water. He called Ayers for an inspection, and our crew determined that fixing the uneven concrete outside the home would keep water out. We would utilize PolyLevel and NexusPro to even the concrete and fix the cracks. 

The PolyLevel system is 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. NexusPro is a sealant that fills the cracks in the concrete. It is extremely withstanding to harsh weather so it will remain intact for years.

Michael was so grateful for the work Ayers did. Besides the fact that the uneven concrete was letting water into the basement, it was a tripping hazard for Michael. He never has to haul out the shop-vac ever again!

The Cruz family used their basement extensively to do laundry, watch sports and as a playroom. Their broken tile floor in the basement was not just an eyesore, but constantly allowed water in. The family decided to not just replace their floor with waterproofed elite plank in dark mocha. Our flooring is inorganic and waterproof, which means no more mold. 

Gabriella and Josh got their Dearborn, MI crawl space encapsulated by another company years ago. The previous company did not properly complete the job, they just laid down a sheet of plastic. She is a repeat customer of Ayers, so called us back to fix the job. Our crew came out for an inspection and determined that the couple would need drainage matting with CleanSpace would be the perfect solution for them. 

Drainage matting is a liner for the crawl space that is placed underneath the CleanSpace plastic liner. If the crawlspace ever floods, the dimpled mat allows water to pass underneath to the drain and sump pump. CleanSpace is a moisture barrier that uses a thick plastic liner along basement and crawl space walls to keep them dry and last decades longer. It also has antibacterial properties that prevent mold and bacteria growth.  Damp air takes more energy to heat and cool. Cutting down on the moisture in the crawl space, in turn, will cut down on how much it costs to heat or cool the home. 

Gabriella and Josh were thrilled that Ayers could come in and get the job done properly. They never have to worry about water, dirt, or animals coming into the crawl space ever again. 

Casey just purchased Sterling Heights home that was built in 1938 and the seller never disclosed that there was water in the crawl space with and a terrible DIY fix. She called Ayers for an inspection, and our crew determined she would need WaterGuard and a TripleSafe.  

WaterGuard is a sub-floor waterproofing system that collects water that leaks through the walls and keeps dirt away from the foundation. It is installed along the perimeter of the basement and on top of the footing of the foundation. Concrete is poured on top and regular flooring can be placed on top. A TripleSafe sump pump system utilizes three pumps in order to remove excess water from the basement. The second and third pumps are in case of emergencies so the basement can remain dry, even when the power goes out. 

Casey was angry that the seller didn’t disclose the state of the crawlspace, but extremely grateful to Ayers that we could get her new home safe and dry for her and her family. She’s thrilled she never has to worry about flooding or an unstable foundation ever again.  

Daniel was having issues with his egress window as water was getting into his basement during heavy rains. He decided to contact Ayers and look for solutions to his home problems. A System Design Specialist with Ayers determined that the window lid and well were not waterproofed, thus allowing water into the basement. The team at Ayers suggested installing a new window cover and lid. 

Daniel opted to have the Rockwell Egress Window Cover installed, which will provide a much better seal to the house and stop water from leaking into the window well. Additionally, a Rockwell Escape lid was installed, which made the window look better and provided a waterproof seal! After everything was said and done with Daniel's home, he no longer needed to worry about water leaking into his basement!
