Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A home in Battle Creek, MI, had a damp, humid, and musty-smelling crawl space. The goal was to encapsulate the area, which involved sealing off potential sources of moisture and improving the overall condition of the crawl space. With Ayers' CleanSpace product, we were able to accomplish this.

Our customer called with a flooded finished basement. Or at least it used to be finished before it went underwater. She'd had one of our competitors out a few years ago. and they installed half of a system and then never came back to finish or fix what they'd improperly installed.

We installed a perimeter waterproofing system, including replacing the overwhelmed sump pump with two new pumps that covered the breadth of the basement.

A homeowner from Battle Creek contacted us about a free estimate on her basement. We drove to her home and noticed some issues with her waterproofing. We installed a SuperSump Sump Pump which is perfect for getting all of the water in the basement pumped out. The SuperSump contains a pump stand (prevents clogging of any debris in the sump liner), pump alarm (for when the basement floods), and an airtight sump lid with a floor drain in it (helps water to go down but not air to come up). Now this homeowner won't have to worry about a wet basement ever again.

After the heat from a steam cleaner damaged the floors in this home, the homeowners were forced to replace them. They called Ayers to install ThermalDry tiles, which is the only and best option for inorganic, water resistant flooring. Also resistant to water vapor and mold, these tiles are raised slightly off the floor with small pegs, so water won’t get trapped in them. They come in a variety of finishes, including a Parquet wood look as shown in this home. 

Jewell C. needed to waterproof her basement. She had a sump pump, but that wasn’t enough. The house was built in 1962 and made of block walls. Houses made of block walls often allow moisture to seep through the cracks. This moisture can be a factor making your basement cold and allowing for mold growth. We not only installed Waterguard to ensure all the water is flowing to the sump pump but we installed BrightWall Paneling. BrightWall brightens your basement, giving it a finished look while protecting it. It keeps water vapor from coming through the walls and drains the water to the WaterGuard system.

Lastly, we installed our ThermalDry Floor System. The ThermalDry Floor System is made of inorganic materials: this means that water won’t ruin them and mold can’t grow. The tiles are also not sitting right on top of your concrete floors. They have raised pegs that make sure water doesn’t damage them and keeps your new floor warmer.  In addition, if one or two tiles ever get ruined in one of those high traffic areas, you won't have to replace your entire floor, but just those few tiles.
