Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Ayers team addressed the water and mold issues in the crawl space of a home built in 1990 with a cinderblock foundation. They installed a sump pump and encapsulated the crawlspace using CleanSpace moisture barrier and vent covers. Additionally, they used FrothPak insulation to seal gaps and prevent further moisture intrusion. This comprehensive approach ensures a dry and healthy crawlspace environment, protecting the home from structural damage and indoor air quality issues.

Brenda worried about water pooling into her crawl space. She knew her sump pump must have failed, so she called Ayers for help. Our crew visited her home and recommended the SmartSump sump pump. This system is designed specifically for small spaces and includes WaterWatch, the alarm system intended to alert the homeowner when water leaks past the sensor. Brenda is happy she called Ayers to get the job done!

Dan called Ayers hoping for waterproofing systems to keep his old basement dry. This area was in rough shape, so our crew inspected the home to make the best recommendations. Our system design specialists suggested our WaterGaurd and TripleSafe sump pump systems. WaterGuard is an interior drainage system that runs along the perimeter of the basement. It collects water in the drain and directs the leaking water to the sump pump system. TripleSafe is a three-pump system that eradicates these pesky leaks outside the home. The third pump is even battery-operated to guarantee the system runs during outages. Dan is grateful for the professional solutions that keep his basement dry!

Tamara was looking into getting an Egress Window to bring the bedroom down in the basement up to code. She decided to call our Ayers professionals for the job. Our Egress Windows are very beneficial for finishing basements since they are larger which opens up the space more. Oftentimes basements feel like dark dungeons with minimal light coming in, so this will allow more natural light to shine through. These windows are waterproof and come with an exterior well. The main perk is that these windows are much safer since you can easily open and exit through them in the case of an emergency. Tamara has a much more attractive and legally finished basement now!

Mary, a former librarian, has had a wet crawl space for years. The home was built in the 50s, and when it rained heavily, standing water would accumulate. She called Ayers for an inspection, and our crew determined that she would need CleanSpace Wall System and a SandiDry Sedona dehumidifier. The librarian she is, Mary did heavy research before ultimately choosing Ayers. 

CleanSpace Wall System is a moisture barrier that uses a thick plastic liner along crawl space 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 crawl space, in turn, will cut down on how much it costs to heat or cool the home. The SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier automatically removes up to 100 pints of water a day from the air in the home’s crawl space. This system circulates the now dry air through the basement and automatically removes the leftover water so you don’t have to.   

Mary was thrilled to be able to finally get this taken care of. She was more than satisfied with the work done by our crew and no longer has to worry about water accumulating ever again.
