Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A new homeowner in East Lansing, MI, wanted to enhance their recently purchased property by installing an egress window. Before the installation, the basement felt cramped and lacked natural light, making it less inviting. More importantly, the absence of an egress window posed safety concerns in the event of a fire, limiting escape routes.

We installed an egress window to address these issues, transforming the basement into a more functional and brighter space. This upgrade provides an emergency escape plan and adds valuable living space to the home. The homeowners can now enjoy a safer, more welcoming basement that enhances their new property's overall value and comfort.

Josh and Laura, who have two young children and are expecting twins, decided to finish their basement and add a bedroom downstairs to accommodate their oldest son and the new additions to their family. They needed to install an egress window to make the bedroom in the basement compliant and safe for their son. They also addressed water problems by installing a full-perimeter waterproofing system in the basement. With these changes, Josh and Laura can now confidently put their son in the basement, feel assured about his safety, and make room for the new additions to the family.

A Sandusky, MI home was experiencing crumbling basement walls and moisture problems. Ayers was able to help create peace of mind for the customer by installing our full-perimeter waterproofing system and strengthening the walls with our GeoLock wall anchors. These steps helped protect the basement from future damage and improve its overall condition.

Sharon had water in her basement that was getting the carpet damp so she wanted it addressed before other issues arose. We installed a sump pump to get rid of the water, the WaterGuard Drain System to collect the water, and the SaniDry XP to keep the area dry as well as filter the air. 

Leilani had been experiencing water issues within her home's basement for some time and with the wet spring season ahead, Leilani wanted to ensure her home was protected.

After evaluating the basement, it was evident that for it to stay dry, we would need to install a full basement waterproofing system. Our WaterGuard® directs water coming into the basement floor into our TripleSafe™ sump pump to remove the water and discharge it a safe distance outside away from the house. During freezing temperatures the water discharged from the home will freeze and expand within the pipes, so our IceGuard® serves as a mechanism to block off water from re-entering the tube and instead, allows for a secondary exit point. Lastly, our CleanSpace® helped make the water damaged walls not only appear bright and clean, but provides a safe water vapor barrier so that moisture can no longer enter.
