Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Scott in Freeland, MI, struggled with water pooling in his basement due to a failing sump pump that couldn’t keep up with the constant water intrusion. To solve this, Ayers upgraded his sump pump to the powerful TripleSafe® system, ensuring maximum protection against flooding. With the new system in place, Scott’s basement is now dry, secure, and protected from future water damage.

Rudy lives in Indiana but has a rental property here in Michigan. He's looking to sell the property but had to address some foundation issues first. The basement walls have had a crack that has only been getting larger the past 3 years as well as bowing walls. Rudy called Ayers for an inspection and we determined that PowerBraces would be the best solution for his foundation. 

PowerBraces are steel supports that secure to the joists above the foundation. They evenly distribute the weight of the home, strengthening the foundation over time. Rudy will be able to sell the home no problem now, at a much higher price!

Aaron and Kacy suspected their unfinished Michigan basement was causing their son's severe allergies in their Akron, MI, home. Their crumbling block foundation showed clear signs of moisture intrusion, leading to mold, musty odors, and poor air quality. They called Ayers for a professional basement encapsulation to create a healthier home. Our team installed a CleanSpace® vapor barrier, drainage matting, and a SaniDry® dehumidifier to seal out moisture and allergens. Their home in the Michigan thumb area is drier, healthier, and safer, giving their son much-needed relief.

A customer had heavy flooding in her basement so she called our team for help. In addition to other systems, we installed TripleSafe. TripleSafe has three pumps so that it can handle the highest pumping demands. Also, one of the pumps is battery powered so it can continue to pump water even during power outages. This customer will no longer have to worry about her basement flooding even if her electricity goes out.

These homeowners had a sump pump failure leading to some basement flooding in a carpeted area. They decided that it was time to get rid of the carpet and find another flooring option that would work well in a potentially wet space. That's when they contacted us about our MillCreek Wood Laminate Flooring. Made from 100% inorganic materials, they are completely waterproof and will never mold or be harmed by water. They also are designed to add a thermal break between the surface that you're stepping on and the cold concrete below. This helps to make the floor and entire room a little bit warmer and more enjoyable. Mahogany wood laminate was installed in this basement living area and it looks fantastic. These homeowners won't ever have to worry about ruined flooring with pump failures. This is a solution that they can be confident in.
