Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Shelly had a partically finished basement that was leaking. We installed the WaterGuard system which is a French drain that is under the floor to collect water as it seeps in. The water collected is then sent to the sump pump to be discharged outside the home keeping the basement dry.

This Lansing couple would like to finish their basement and turn it into a playroom for their kids. They want the space to be safe and done correctly. We installed Egress Windows to the basement. Egress windows are for cases of emergencies and allow for a safe exit. The larger size of the window allows more light to enter the basement as well making the room look larger!

This customer had water seeping into the corner of his basement where the floor and wall met. A small puddle of standing water was also constantly forming on the floor even though a sump pump was present in the home. This homeowner was looking for an effective solution to collect and discard leaking water and our team of experts knew exactly what to do.

To properly collect and discard intruding water into the sump pump, we installed the WaterGuard system, which is an effective perimeter drainage system. This system was installed underneath the flooring around the interior perimeter of the basement. Water entering the home is able to flow down into the drainage pipes, rather than onto the floor and is carried directly to the sump pump to be discarded from the home. A WaterGuard inspection port was also installed to make sure we have access to the system if ever needed in the future.

The original basement window was too small to meet safety standards, providing limited light and ventilation while leaving the space feeling dark and cramped. Additionally, it did not serve as a safe exit in case of emergencies. To enhance safety and functionality, Ayers installed a new, larger egress window that complies with safety requirements. This upgrade significantly increases natural light and ventilation, transforming the basement into a more inviting space. The new window well not only improves safety but also enhances the home’s exterior appearance.

Homeowners in Lansing, MI were experiencing frequent water puddles in the corner of their basement. The problem? No sump pump!

We installed SuperSump. With the option of a backup pump, this system can pump out up to 2,220 gallons of water per hour. As this basement has occasional puddles and damp areas, this pump system was a perfect fit as it will work to keep the basement dry and healthy for extended periods of time.
