Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

The basement of this Richland, MI home was leaking through the wall where the well pipe penetrated the wall. It’s very common for plumbing pipes to cause leakage at the spot of entry due to how often they move. The before photo shows the water damage around the pipe and where it leaked down to the floor. In the after photo, the leak has been solved with the FlexiSpan System. The system works by first plugging the leak with a flexible sealant, and then another layer of polymer creates a drainage route for any water that does leak through. The drainage layer then directs water to a drain well at the foot of the wall. You can see in the after photo where fresh concrete was poured after the drain well was installed. The leaking pipe won't bother this home again.

While preparing to sell their house, our customers were told by a home inspector that they had to get a few cracks in the basement wall repaired before he could clear it. They hadn't gotten it looked at before because there was hardly any water coming in, but hardly any isn't "none," so they knew they had to take his advice.

We installed two FlexiSpan wall crack repair systems, which will seal the cracks and are flexible enough to move with the wall as water leads it to shift.

When water started seeping through the egress window in this Galesburg, MI home, the homeowners' two-year-old son lost his basement playroom to moisture and flooding. They wanted a solution that focused solely on the issue without unnecessary add-ons, so they turned to us for help.

We installed a window well duct drain to catch and direct water into the WaterGuard drainage system, which then carried it to the SuperSump Plus. The sump pump efficiently removed the water from the home, ensuring their basement stayed dry and protected.

Now, their basement is dry, their son has his playroom back, and their home is safeguarded against future water issues!

Randy moved into his home and realized the windows in his basement didn't allow for an easy escape. Safety in his home is a top priority for Randy, so he researched and called Ayers for help. Our crew of professionals visited to evaluate the space and recommended installing an egress window. Having an easy escape from the basement during an emergency is integral and our egress windows include stair steps, easy-open windows, and a polycarbonate safety cover to prevent surface falls. Randy loves his new escape plan!

This Middleville, MI resident was in the process of preparing to sell her home when she gave us a call. Worried that water seepage through a small crack in her wall would hinder the sale, she sought us out looking for an effective solution that wouldn’t break the bank.

FlexiSpan was just the thing for her. The flexible polymer was plugged into the crack to create a durable seal that will hold back water. After the sealant was in place, a drainage layer was added in front of the seal. If any water should penetrate the first layer, it will flow down the wall behind the drainage layer and into the newly installed drainage system at the foot of the wall. Hopefully, the rest of this sale goes as smoothly as the installation of the FlexiSpan system.
