Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Water was running down Bill and Bonnie’s walls after heavy rains. Looking for waterproofing solutions, they called our team. So we installed BrightWall over their walls to provide a waterproof and stain-resistant surface. Acting as a great vapor barrier, BrightWall will keep water from seeping through cracks in your basement walls. Lastly, these walls help brighten your basement and never need painted or any other maintenance.

When this customer decided to transform his basement den into a bedroom, he was informed by city codes that he had to convert one of the windows. Egress windows are much larger than the basic rectangular basement windows and offer a second point of escape in the event of a fire. The metal well and ladder in the after photo can be accessed in the same way as usual windows, plus the openness of the well will provide the room with much more light the typical window.

To replace the old window, the crew first excavated the soil surrounding the window and made room for the well. Once the wall and previous window were cut away, the 30 X 48 window was inserted. Next, the metal well - which will protect the window from water and erosion - was placed into the ground. After the soil was backfilled to secure the well in place, the crew began the clean process. This new window will not only bring the bedroom up to code, it will also make it much more livable. If you’re interested in a replacement window, give us a call for a free estimate. We also offer plastic waterproof lids for added protection from the elements

Megan and Calvin have just recently purchased their home but the basement is so humid. There is no standing water but they are having to change the dehumidifier very often. We installed the CleanSpace Wall System which keeps water vapor from passing through your foundation walls. We also installed the SaniDry XP for them which can easily be stored in a corner or closet. The dehumidifier keeps dry air circulating throughout the space which dries out your basement. 

A leak with no drainage system leads to standing water, which leads to mold and a host of other problems.

Our customer called because her basement's water problems had led to ruined walls and carpet, as well as mold. We got rid of the carpet and walls, applied a product to eliminate the mold, and installed a TripleSafe sump pump and WaterGuard drain system around the perimeter of the basement. 

Bonnie, a pre-existing customer of Ayers, found that her crawl space had quite an awful smell that appeared to be seeping into the rest of the house. Bonnie contacted Ayers, and a System Design Specialist was sent out in no time! The team at Ayers concluded that mold had developed from a high moisture level. Thus, the team at Ayers suggested installing CleanSpace and Mold-X.

Mold-X is a treatment applied to where the mold has formed or may form and will eliminate all traces of the mold. While the mold was destroyed, the crawl space still needed to stay dry to keep the mold away. Thus, CleanSpace was installed, which utilizes a heavy-duty plastic liner that lines the entire crawlspace. The liner creates a moisture barrier and will prevent any moisture from getting into Bonny's crawl space! After everything was installed, Bonnie could breathe fresh air within her home!
