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.

Toby's basement lacked a sump pump, making it susceptible to water leaks. He called our team at Ayers, so we sent a crew to determine the best pump. We recommended our TripleSafe sump pump system for triple protection. The first pump will eliminate most of the water, the second is for backup as needed, and the third is battery-operated. With the battery-operated pump, he will never have to worry about it not working during power outages. Toby's basement will stay protected from heavy volumes of water during downpours!

This homeowner gave us a call after working to finish his basement. In order to qualify his basement room as a bedroom, he needed to add an egress window that could double as an emergency exit. We were able to determine a sufficient location for the window and expertly install it. In the end, the window turned out great!
