Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Bernie and Cathleen have lived in the house for the past 15 years and have finished off the basement over that time. This year they found water leaking in from the north wall. They want to stop that leakage as they are not sure if they are staying or not long term. They may refinish the basement, as all the kids are now grown and moved out. Wanting a plan of action that was comprehensive and fairly priced, they contacted Ayers to come to inspect the area. Our Foreman Bruce discussed the issues and concerns the couple had with them and drafted a solution plan that everyone agreed upon.

The current sump system of the home was working well so Bruce and his team installed a WaterGuard system to help control the extra water.

WaterGuard is a system of channels installed under the foundational floor, out of sight, and starts at the sump pump, directing any water the pump cannot control and leading it far away from the home. 

All Todd wanted was his peace of mind back. The crawl space in their summer home, where the whole family gathers, was letting in excessive amounts of moisture. He was worried not only about potential structural damage the moisture would cause but the mold that results from it. Their home is supposed to be a safe, happy, and healthy place for their family to get together, so Todd called Ayers. Our crew determined that CleanSpace Wall System and the SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier would be the best solution. 

The CleanSpace Wall System 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. The SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier automatically removes up to 100 pints of water a day from the air in the home's crawlspace. This system circulates the now dry air through the home and automatically removes the leftover water so you don't have to. 

Todd was overjoyed that his family would continue to have a happy and safe place to come together. His peace of mind has finally returned and he can't wait for all the fun he and his family will have this summer. 

Craig and Linda's crawlspace desperately needed work done to it. The crawl space was always damp, and it was visible that the area had been weathered. Craig and Linda grew tired of these problems and called Ayers. After a thorough walkthrough, the team at Ayers believed a couple of different products were needed. 

The team at Ayers believed that installing CleanSpace would make a huge difference in eliminating moisture in the crawl space. CleanSpace uses a heavy, durable plastic liner that lines the crawl space. This liner provides a vapor barrier that drains any water coming into the basement behind the liner.

Craig and Linda will no longer need to worry about water and moisture getting into the basement and causing problems!

Our customer bought her home in 2016. An addition was built in 2009, that later became the kitchen. The floorboards were starting to pull apart and sag. This was causing damage to the integrity of the foundation as well as being a potential safety hazard. The customer called Ayers for an inspection and our crew determined that she would need SmartJacks installed in her crawl space to better stabilize the home. 

SmartJacks are steel supports that balance the foundation of the crawl space, lifting it to its original position. They are anchored into the ground with poured concrete and can be adjust so the home will never shift out of place. After the install, our crew was able to achieve a little more than an inch of lift. Techs will return in about a year from now to tighten the SmartJacks to get more lift out of them. 

The customer was at home during the installation and was more than satisfied with the work done. She was relieved that she no longer had to worry about falling through her floors. 

Calvin J. from Beaverton, MI has a sump pump in his basement but was still getting water in his basement and could not figure out why. Good thing for him, he gave us a call for a fix.

We installed our patented WaterGuard French drain system for this job. The WaterGuard drain is placed beneath the basement floor but above the foundation footing, collecting water that seeps into the basement from the walls. Once this water is collected in the drain, it is redirected to the sump pump to be pumped up and out fo the basement.
