Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Terry's basement was in rough condition since water would seep through the walls. He decided to take action by calling Ayers Basement Systems. Our crew inspected the source of trouble and concluded our WaterGuard system and TripleSafe sump pump system would eradicate these leaks. WaterGuard is a subfloor drain installed along the perimeter of the basement below the walls. This solution collects the water and directs it to the sump pump. Concrete is poured over the drainage system, concealing it into the floor. We replaced his old sump pump with TripleSafe as this three-pump solution is much more efficient. The first pump will eliminate most of the water, the second is there for backup, and the final pump is battery-operated for power outages. Terry is pleased with the finished results that leave his home well-protected!

Theresa found water in her basement and determined her sump pump had failed. She wasn't sure what to do, so she called Ayers. We sent a team of experts to her house to recommend a solution. They decided to install the TripleSafe sump pump system, designed to prevent sump pump failure with a backup pump and a battery-powered pump during power outages. Theresa is excited to have a dry basement once again!

Kathleen and Larry had water coming into their basement through their walls and floors so they called our team for help. We installed TripleSafe, a sump pump system that’s main goal is to keep your basement dry. This system provides ultimate protection because it has three pumps in order to handle your highest pumping demands. In addition, it has a battery powered pump so that the system continues to work even during power outages. 

Tim's Pinconning, MI home was built in 1945. It had previously belonged to his mother since the 70s. Years ago, a cement trucked parked right next to the house, cracking areas of the foundation. Since then, the cracks have only gotten worse, forming a major stair-step crack throughout the basement. Water comes though whenever it rains and Tim has to be in the basement with a shop-vac for hours cleaning up the mess. 

Tim was looking for peace of mind regarding the home that protected him and his family for years, so he called Ayers Basement Systems. Our crew came out for an inspection and determined Tim would need CarbonArmor to stabilize the foundation, and WaterGuard and CleanSpace to combat the water coming in.   

CarbonArmor is a flexible, fabric like epoxy that is 10x stronger than steel. The epoxy adheres to your basement walls and penetrates into the surface to reinforce and stabilize the foundation.   

WaterGuard is a sub-floor waterproofing system that collects water that leaks through basement walls and keeps dirt away from the foundation. It is installed along the perimeter of the basement and on top of the footing of the foundation. CleanSpace Wall System is a moisture barrier that uses a thick plastic liner along basement walls to keep them dry and last decades longer. It also has antibacterial properties that prevent mold and bacteria growth.   

With all of these products combined, Tim is ensured a safe, dry, and sturdy home for years to come. He was thrilled with the professionalism of the crew and great communication throughout the project. He can't wait to start making new memories in his mother's old house!

Patrick, a retired veteran, had been struggling with a persistent water issue in the basement of his 1989 home in Morley, Michigan. A vertical crack in the corner allowed water to seep in during heavy rains, and despite a repair made in the 2000s, occasional leaks continued along the north side of the foundation. As he considered the possibility of selling his home, he wanted to ensure the basement stayed dry and looked good—an improvement that would enhance his quality of life and his home's value.

All of Patrick’s concerns were addressed with a complete waterproofing solution. WaterGuard® was installed around the perimeter to collect and direct water to the SuperSump® Plus pump system, keeping the space dry. The FlexiSpan® crack repair system provides a flexible, long-lasting solution to seal the vertical crack, even with any future foundation movement. Additionally, BrightWall® panels made the basement look clean and finished while also ensuring any moisture would be channeled into the drainage system.

Patrick now enjoys a dry and visually appealing basement. Whether he decides to stay in his home or put it up for sale, he can feel confident knowing that the waterproofing system has added value, improved the space's attractiveness, and provided him with peace of mind. This solution was exactly what he needed to protect his home and enhance his living environment.
