Before & After Photos

A homeowner called in with a few issues going on in his basement. He had cracks on the wall and on the floor, that was allowing water to flow in. After calling other company to remove the water in his basement, he decided to call Ayers.

One of our System Design Specialist took a trip out to see the damage. After reviewing the problems, our System Design Specialist suggested our French Drain System was required to prevent and protect against rain entering the basement again. 

Our French Drain System consist of an effective perimeter drainage system. This system is installed underneath the flooring near the walls in a basement. Water that enters the home is caught by these pipes and run down to a sump pump. There, the sump pump will carry the water away from the home through a drainage pipe. This allows for a dry basement, all the time. 

Janice was hoping to put an end to the puddles of water that would form in her basement due to water intrusion so she decided to call Ayers. After our crew came out to her home to inspect the area, it was determined that she could use our WaterGuard System as well as our TripleSafe Sump Pump System. First with WaterGuard this is a drainage system placed below the concrete flooring in the basement along the perimeter to ensure water is collected here rather than going on the floor. It will be concealed with concrete and hooked to the TripleSafe Sump Pump we added next. With TripleSafe, this is a three pump system that fits in one sturdy liner that keeps water out. The last two pumps are there for backup and one is battery-operated for power outages. Janice was happy to have these troublesome puddles resolved!

When life threw unexpected water woes at a Kalamazoo homeowner's 20-year sanctuary, our mission was clear. Before: a dreary basement corner showcased telltale signs of groundwater seepage, the aftermath of a plumbing disaster revealed. Notice in the photo, the rotted wood and a worn-out patch of cement cried out for attention. After: enter fix, our SaniDry Sedona and CleanSpace Vapor Barrier, bringing back peace, dryness, and stability. As you can see, what was once a problematic corner turns into a showpiece of security and reliability. With us, it's not just about fixing problems—it's about restoring comfort and ensuring it lasts.

Deron's oldest son resides in his Grand Rapids, MI basement bedroom, but there was no egress window or proper escape route. To meet fire code and improve safety, we recommended installing an egress window. Understanding the potential yard disruption, we advised scheduling the project in late May to minimize impact. Additionally, we suggested replacing a section of BrightWall® paneling to maintain a clean, finished look. With these improvements, Deron can ensure his son's safety while adding value to his home.

When this homeowner decided to sell his rental property, he knew that the basement could use an uplift. The walls had been leaking, and the water damage was beginning to show on the stone blocks. He wanted to make sure the walls were rid of mold, but with the house going on the market so soon, a total wall replacement seemed a bit excessive.

Our BrightWall system provided this Grand Rapids, MI home with everything it was missing without the price or time of installing a new foundation. Once the mold was removed, BrightWall panels were able to be put in place on top of the stone walls, so there was no invasive or lengthy installation. The panels are made of inorganic, rigid plastic, meaning mold will have to look elsewhere if it wants to grow in this basement. BrightWall is more than just a looker, it’s the perfect waterproofing compliment for the perimeter drainage system that was also installed. If any water does leak in, the two systems will work together - with water flowing behind the BrightWall panels and into the WaterGuard drainage system sitting below - to collect and direct the water out.  We’re guessing that the waterproofing and clean look will make selling this house all the easier.
