Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Shirley believed she had water in her crawl space so she called our team and asked us to take a look. We did find water and so we installed IceGuard. The IceGuard Sump Pump Discharge Line System allows water to leave even when the discharge line is frozen. Therefore, this system prevents flooding even in freezing temperatures or when the snow is piled up high. Lastly, this system is totally automatic so Shirely won’t have to worry about when she should turn it on or off. 

Chris owns a duplex in Berrien Springs that she will be moving into shortly. The unit she is moving into has an unfinished basement that has some water issues. There were also some cracks in the basement walls. Chris wanted a waterproofing system to keep the space dry and a product to cover the ugly walls.

To keep the basement safe and dry, we installed the WaterGuard drain system and the SaniDry XP. The WaterGuard is a drain that is installed below the floor but above the foundation to keep it from clogging. It sends collected water to the sump pump to be expelled outside the home. The SaniDry XP is a dehumidifier that can stand in a corner or in a closest to not take up space. It not only keeps the space but also filters the air!

To fix the wall, we used CarbonArmor. This system is made up of fabric straps that are adhered to the wall with a high strength resin. This stabilizes the wall and keep the home safe. Lastly, she wanted her walls covered so she did not have to look at them. We used the BrightWall Panels which are waterproof, washable, and act as a vapor barrier. 

Amy's crawlspace was filled with dirt and water and was making the whole house smell musty. Shel called Ayers to come out for an inspection and we determined that in order to rid the home of the moldy smell and prevent further water damage, we would install CleanSpace Wall System. 

CleanSpace is a moisture barrier that uses a thick plastic liner along crawlspace walls to keep them dry and last decades longer. It also has antibacterial properties that prevent mold and bacteria growth. This will make the air in Amy's home healthy to breathe in and smell much better. She was glad her home is a safer place to live for her and her family. 

Patti was sick and tired of the water leak issues wreaking havoc in her home so she called up Ayers for help. After our team conducted a free inspection at her home it was determined that our WaterGuard System and TripleSafe Sump Pump System would offer the best solutions. WaterGuard will provide Patti's basement with a sub-floor drainage system that will collect this water seeping in through her walls and keep it off her belongings. We conceal this system with concrete so once it dries it will blend. We also added a better sump pump known as TripleSafe which consists of three trusty pumps that fit in one durable liner and work together to keep water out. With the second and third pumps there for backup and the WaterGuard System in action, Patti can trust that her home will now remain free from these water intrusion issues!

This home, built on sandy soil, showed significant foundation concerns, including a cracking basement window and deteriorating block joints near the bottom. With both an addition featuring a block foundation and an original stone Michigan basement, the customer was understandably worried about the stability of their home.

Ayers thoroughly inspected all joints, joists, beams, and footers, then reinforced the foundation and repaired the deteriorating joints. We also applied a clean coating to the basement walls, enhancing the structure’s integrity. Now, with a stable and secure foundation, the homeowner can rest easy knowing their home is safe and sound.
