Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Pete was sick of worrying about the crack in his concrete wall that was in his basement. He called Ayers for solutions and we had a crew come to his home for an inspection where it was determined he needed FlexiSpan. This will seal up this small crack in the wall and is a great option if you don't want to pay for a full wall remodel. The crew starts with sealing the crack with a flexible sealant and then a drainage layer is added in case water did end up permeating the membrane, it would flow down the original wall out of sight. The water would then enter the drainage system located below the FlexiSpan and this is covered with concrete.

Pete was grateful to get this wall crack repaired quickly and efficiently!

Chad M. needed to address the leaks in his basement that eventually led to standing water in one of the basement corners. That water led to the growth of mold which concerned the family. After we installed a WaterGuard system around the perimeter of the basement to capture water entering the basement, Chad decided to also add an egress window. These windows bring light into the basement, provide a safe way to egress a basement during an emergency and they are correctly sealed to keep cold outside air out. 

A homeowner in Grand Rapids, MI, wanted to enhance their basement’s functionality and safety. We transformed the space by installing an egress window, adding natural light, and creating a code-compliant emergency exit. Not only does the window make the basement feel brighter and more inviting, but it also provides peace of mind, knowing the home is safer for family and guests. This upgrade turns the basement into a livable, multi-purpose area, perfect for future projects or everyday use.

Mary called Ayers looking for some waterproofing systems since she had no sump pump or system to put an end to the water leaks she would experience after heavy rains. After a free inspection we were able to determine she needed our WaterGuard System along with our TripleSafe Sump Pump System.

With WaterGuard, this is a below-floor drainage system that will collect the water leaking from her basement walls. It is placed along the perimeter of the basement. Since Mary had no sump pump we decided to install TripleSafe which consists of three pumps in one durable liner which work together to keep water out. The first pump will get most of the water out, the second will run if assistance is needed, and the last pump is battery-operated so it will turn on during power failures.

Mary was relieved to get these pesky water issues tackled permanently!

After the installation of WaterGuard and PowerBraces in this Grand Rapids, MI basement, BrightWall was the final touch. BrightWall panels are a good solution for homes that have stains or dark, dirty walls. These panels brighten up the area and work to keep out mold, mildew, and water. Many homeowners choose these panels because of their quick installation time and inorganic, waterproof makeup. 

Note: no scooter was harmed in this installation process.
