Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Ron was hoping to get a permanent fix to the water leaks he was dealing with in his basement for a while so he called Ayers for solutions. After an inspection, our System Design Specialists were able to recommend our WaterGuard System, IceGuard, and our LawnScape Outlet. 

Our WaterGuard System is a sub-floor drainage system that will collect the water leaking into his basement. It is placed along the perimeter of the basement and concealed with concrete. Then we installed our IceGuard to protect against the clogging or freezing of his exterior discharge lines. Lastly we installed LawnScape Outlet which is an extension to the underground drainage lines that allows downspout water to escape.

Ron was happy to get these waterproofing systems installed so he doesn’t have to worry about water leaks ruining his stuff!

A couple from Grandville, Michigan, were looking for a solution to their annoying water leak. The couple contacted Ayers about a specific place in their basement where water would leak whenever it rained. The team at Ayers determined the FlexiSpan system would be the perfect option after conducting an inspection!

The FlexiSpan process begins with filling the cracks with a unique adhesive in preparation for another layer. Once the gap in the wall was sealed,  A larger portion of FlexiSpan was applied to ensure no water would leak into the house anymore! The couple was thrilled they would no longer need to clean up water in their basement!

The homeowners had water coming into their home through one of their walls. At one point they had 3 or 4 inches of water pooling into their basement and damaging everything in the area. They knew something needed to be done so they called Ayers Basement Systems. 

Our professional team installed the WaterGuard long lasting interior perimeter drainage system. WaterGuard sits on the top of the footing in the basement in order to prevent clogging from mud or other debris. The system works by capturing floor and wall seepage before it has a chance to damage anything in the basement. Once the water is trapped in the drain it is taken immediately to the sump pump. The sump pump then removes the water from your home! 

The before picture shows the system once it is installed in the shallow trench and the after picture shows the system once it is completely installed and covered with a layer of concrete. 

After recently purchasing a house in Byron Center, MI, this homeowner was eager to get started on home improvements. The basement didn’t need too much work, as it was just finished. But the owner was interested in changing up the natural light of the basement. The block window just didn’t fit the look he was going for in the basement. We knew exactly what he meant and sent out a system design specialist to draw out a plan for a replacement egress window. After going over the possible options, the owner elected to add in an egress window just a few feet away from the rectangular block window, as you can see when comparing the two photos. The big difference between the two is that the 4-foot-tall egress window is below ground level. And thanks to the waterproof material of the well, the window will remain protected from floods or eroding, while allowing in more light than the previous. 

Kyle noticed that he had water damage in his basment on the walls and on the floor. He wasn't sure where the water was coming from or what to do about it so he gave us a call to help him find a solution. We installed WaterGuard which is a French drain that is designed to be installed below the floor slab. This drain collects water that seeps through basement walls and drains it to your sump pump. We also installed the SaniDry to keep the basement dry. SaniDry has a powerful blowing motor that keeps dry air circulating throughout the space, drying out your basement or crawl space. Collected water can be drained into a sump pump pit, a section of your perimeter drain, or away via a condensation pump. This dehumidifier is super efficient and has a small size so it doesn't take up much space in your basement.
