Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Ronald was in the process of finishing his basement. The last step was adding an egress window to make the space more inviting. He called Ayers to begin this installation. Our egress windows are much larger than the average basement window. This addition will brighten the room and allow more fresh air to circulate. The window provides a safe exit option for emergencies that may arise. With this new window, the dark, gloomy feel of the basement is no longer an issue!

Scott noticed his old sump pump wasn't efficiently removing water from his basement, and some had begun leaking onto the floor. He wasn't sure how to fix the problem, so he researched his options and called Ayers to learn about our waterproofing solutions. We sent a team of professionals to examine the space and recommend a solution. They suggested installing the TripleSafe sump pump designed to prevent accidents from pump failure by including three pumps. The first is the primary, followed by a backup, and finally, a battery-powered backup in case of power outages. Scott is happy with his dry basement!

Tammy was worried about the water that would seep into her basement occasionally. She called our professionals at Ayers for possible solutions and we sent a crew to her home for an inspection. Our System Design Specialists concluded from this inspection that she would need our WaterGuard System. This is a drainage system that our experts install below the floor and around the perimeter of the basement. It will collect the water coming into her basement and rather than pooling on the floor, it will be directed to the sump pump. Next, we pour concrete over the drain to conceal it in the floor. Tammy was relieved to finally have these leaks resolved!

A home in Canton, MI's crawlspace, part of an addition built in 1992, had inadequate insulation, contributing to moisture and temperature control issues. The dirt floor and poorly installed plastic sheeting allowed moisture to enter, impacting the overall air quality and potentially causing long-term damage. To resolve the issues, they encapsulated the crawlspace using a CleanSpace vapor barrier system, which covers the floor and walls to prevent moisture from entering. The joists and ducts were insulated correctly, and SmartJacks were installed for additional foundation support. The space also had a sump pump to manage water and a dehumidifier to control humidity levels. This setup significantly improved the insulation and moisture control in the crawlspace.

Mike lacked any form of protection for his dirt crawl space. He decided he needed professional help so he gave Ayers a call. We conducted a free inspection at his home and concluded CleanSpace would provide the protection he needed. CleanSpace is a heavy-duty plastic liner made with a vapor barrier that protects the area from excess moisture. When there is a surplus of moisture present in the crawl space, this invites bacteria and mold. This waterproof liner is a much more effective and long-lasting solution than a typical tarp from the store. Mike won't have to stress about mold and water crashing his crawl space!
