Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Joe was in the process of finishing his basement and wanted to have an Egress Window installed to complete this process. These windows are larger and include an exterior well with a step in it. They allow for quick, safe exits in the event an emergency occurs. They make the space feel more open and inviting since natural light will now fill the room. They make the perfect addition to your finished basement and Joe won't have to worry about water leaking in because the windows are waterproof. Joe was thrilled with how the Egress Windows transformed the space! 

Rob was looking to waterproof his basement as water was leaking down the foundation. Rob set up a home inspection with Ayers which determined that water was seeping through the foundation. The team at Ayers suggested WaterGuard, as the system will catch any water that drains down the walls! WaterGuard is a French Drain System that sits above the home's footing and below the basement floor, leaving it out of the mud zone! Rob was thrilled with the installation; it looked good, and water will no longer be an issue!

This home in Wyoming, MI, was experiencing water intrusion on both the finished and unfinished sides of the basement, leading to water-stained floors and threats to the ceiling beams and basement furniture. To combat the issue, we installed a WaterGuard® drainage system and a TripleSafe™ sump pump, providing a long-term solution to keep the space dry and protected. The homeowner now has peace of mind knowing their basement is safeguarded from future water damage.

Redoing a bedroom is always exciting. For this Wyoming, MI couple, it was no different. They had just taken in a new family member and wanted to provide as much comfort as possible. Doing that for this basement room would take more than a few posters. One of the easiest ways to fix up a bedroom, especially one in the basement, is to brighten it.

Our egress windows are perfect for basement bedrooms. The team replaced the previous standard rectangle window with a 30 by 48 egress. The window is not only larger but also better protected. Each egress window comes with an accompanying well and cover to stand up to the elements. Both the well and cover are made from plastic material that won’t erode or rot away. With no erosion, the basement will be protected from possible leaks and cracks. Meaning not only did this bedroom upgrade to better lighting, it is also one step closer to becoming fully waterproof.

Though she originally called for a basement waterproofing, this Wyoming, MI customer knew she had to have one of our basement egress replacement windows once she saw them.  The basement windows she was previously using were rectangular glass block windows and didn’t offer much light. As you can see in the before picture, the siding of the house actually protrudes out over the window and blocks sunlight. In the after photo, you can see the difference and benefit of the window well. The well encircles the window but extends several feet away from the home to allow light to reach both the window and into the basement. And keeping with the customer’s original desire, the well is made from waterproof, inorganic plastic that won’t erode or let water into the basement.
