Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

John and Susan getting older and wanted to get a ranch, so they just moved into their new Bay City, MI home. Before they began on any cosmetic home improvement projects, they wanted to get the crawl space checked. Susan has been been smelling something musty and moldy since they moved in and it's been bothering her allergies. They called Ayers for an inspection. Our crew determined that they would first need to clear out major dirt and debris from the crawl space, then install CleanSpace and a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier. 

CleanSpace Wall System is a moisture barrier that uses a thick plastic liner along basement and 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 basement. This system circulates the now dry air through the basement and automatically removes the leftover water so you don’t have to. 

John and Susan could instantly breathe easier and were overjoyed that the musty smell in the house disappeared. The job went off without a hitch and the couple are thrilled to begin making their new house a home. 

This Bay City, MI, home struggled with high humidity and moisture in the crawl space, leading to discolored subfloors, a musty smell, and the risk of mold growth. To address these issues, we installed a TripleSafe™ sump pump to manage water intrusion and keep the crawl space dry efficiently. The homeowners can now enjoy better air quality and peace of mind, knowing their home is protected from future water damage.

Lynette had water in her basement and contacted us at Ayers Basement Systems. She opted for internal draining systems and had discharge lines installed. She opted for LawnScape, an outlet that allows water to be pumped into the yard while stopping anything from getting into the drain. Lynette was thrilled with the job as she no longer needed to worry about water in her basement!

Jack in South Lyon, MI, wanted to create a safe, livable basement space for his growing family while adding value to his home. To kick-start the renovation, we installed an egress window, ensuring safety and natural light. During the project, we extended the sump pump discharge line away from the foundation to prevent future water issues. With the groundwork set, Jack is now ready to transform his basement into the perfect play area for his son.

In their South Lyon, MI home just a stone’s throw from Whitmore Lake, one homeowner dreamed of escaping summer heat by relaxing in his cool basement “man cave.” But his wife had one rule—no spending serious time down there without a safe exit. That’s where Ayers came in. We replaced their old basement window with a large, code-compliant escape window (egress window) and added a sleek, galvanized steel cover for protection and curb appeal. Now, he can enjoy his retreat in comfort and safety—and she has peace of mind knowing the basement is secure and up to code.
