Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Dan does not have water issues in his home but his basement walls were flaking due to effervescence. He wants to finish the space but was unsure how to go about it so we installed Brightwall Basement Wall Panels. These wall panels are plastic sheets that are attached to the walls with drilled-in plastic fasteners. The bright, white color of the wall paneling maximizes the light in the basement which creates a clean and fresh look. They are also waterproof and create a vapor barrier to block out water vapor and humidity to protect from mold and rotting. 

This Grand Rapids home has a basement what was partially finished by the previous owners. The new owners want to finish the whole basement and noticed that some areas that were already finished needed to be redone. They called us to see what we could do to get their basement ready. We installed the Basement to Beautiful Panels to insulate the space and get the walls ready for paneling!

Mr. Emmert was suffering from foundational issues that were causing unsightly problems with his basement. Wanting to keep the space usable as a gym, he contacted Ayers to find a stabilization method that would give his home the best support, all while saving as much space as possible. After contacting our team, Ayers's resident foreman Blade was able to inspect the home and draft a treatment plan that met Mr. Emmert's needs and budget.

Blade prescribed PowerBraces for the structure. By lining the weak wall with steel beams that fix to the rim joist, they are able to push the wall back into place all while adding new support to the basement. A permeate solution, these braces can be easily hidden or even have drywall placed over it.

Now Mr. Emmert has a safe and stable home, all while never sacrificing living space.

If you have a Michigan Basement, the before picture below may look familiar. A little crumbly, a little leaky, a little "creating creepy corners we don't approach." But it doesn't have to be that way!

This customer called us because their basement was in need of some help. There were small cracks and dampness in the stone walls and they wanted it not only to be dry all the time, but to look a little nicer.

After a SuperSump sump pump, SaniDry humidifier, WaterGuard system with IceGuard and lawn outlets, and CleanSpace installation, the basement is both dry and well out of the creepy range. No more excuses to not do the laundry!

Deb’s front walkway of her Grand Rapids, MI started to sink a few years ago. Recently, it’s gotten much worse, sinking 9 inches in some places. Animals have started to burrow underneath and it has become a major safety hazard. Deb called Ayers for an inspection and our crew decided that PolyLevel and NexusPro would solve her problems instantly. 

The PolyLevel system is used to repair sinking concrete by drilling minuscule holes into the slab and filling them with foam. The foam raises the slab and fortifies it to make it last even longer. NexusPro is a sealant that fills the cracks in the concrete. It is extremely withstanding to harsh weather so it will remain intact for years.  

Deb was ecstatic with the work done by the Ayers crew. She was so happy to finally not have to worry about her friends and family tripping while they walk up to her house!
