Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Dawn was looking for a permanent resolution to the pools of water in her basement that would appear after heavy rains. She called Ayers, hopeful we would be able to relieve her stress over these water leaks. We sent out a crew and it was determined she could use our SuperSump Plus, our WaterGuard System, as well as our SaniDry XP Basement Dehumidifier. 

The SuperSump Plus is perfect for Dawn's situation with the water leaks only happening occasionally after heavy rains. It can pump 2200 gallons of water an hour at an 8 foot head. The WaterGuard System was installed in the sub-floor along the perimeter of the basement to act as a drainage system. It will collect any dirt and water and keep it away from your foundation. The final installment was our SaniDry XP Basement Dehumidifier and this product creates clean and dry air which prevents mold growth.

Dawn was satisfied with these waterproofing installments as she is now worry-free of these water leaks damaging her precious belongings!

Alexander worried the water draining into his crawl space would cause damage to the structure of his home, so he gave Ayers a call. Our experts inspected the issue and recommended WaterGuard as the best solution. WaterGuard is a drainage pipe system engineered to reduce clogs and placed on top of rather than alongside the footing, unlike other drainage pipes. Alexander is overjoyed to have a dry crawl space!

Tim and Tabitha have lived in their Bancroft, Michigan, home for about seven years with their 12 kids. They were looking to convert their damp basement into something that is dry, clean, and livable. They also want to use the space for storage without their belongings getting wet. Tim's allergies have been acting up as well due to the moisture and mold in the basement. Upon inspection, our crew determined that the family would need CleanSpace and WaterGuard to stop the moisture from seeping in and help Tim's allergies.   

CleanSpace 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. Damp air takes more energy to heat and cool. Cutting down on the moisture in the basement, in turn, will cut down on how much it costs to heat or cool the home.

WaterGuard is a subfloor waterproofing system that collects water that leaks through the 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. Concrete is poured on top and regular flooring can be placed on top.   

Tim and Tabitha were absolutely thrilled with how the installation went. Tim's allergies have been much better since we completed the job and they are delighted to be able to use the space for storage and give the basement a purpose. 

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!
