Before & After Photos

The homeowners basement was finished and had water coming into it. Water coming into any basement is not a good situation, but water coming into a finished basement can do a lot of damage to personal belongings. 

Our professional team decided that WaterGuard long lasting interior perimeter drainage system was the best solution for this wet basement. The WaterGuard system sits on the top of the footing to prevent clogging because of mud. The drainage system traps floor and wall seepage and directs that water straight to the sump pump. The sump pump then effectively removes the water from the home. 

In the before picture you see the small trench that needs to be dug along the perimeter of your basement to make room for the product. In the after picture you see the installation after it is all finished with a fresh layer of concrete to make your basement look clean and beautiful. 

Mary realized she had an old sump pump that wasn't quite doing the trick. She needed to replace it, so she called Ayers to hear about our waterproofing solutions. The crew visited her home and recommended installing TripleSafe. This is a sump pump system equipped to avoid failure with a backup and a battery-powered pump that automatically turn on during pump or power failure. Mary is happy to have a fully functioning pump and a dry basement!

Norma's basement lacked waterproofing systems, making the space vulnerable to leaks. She decided that calling Ayers would be the best move to prevent water damage. Our experts inspected her basement to determine the appropriate recommendations for the space. We suggested our TripleSafe sump pump system and WaterGuard system. TripleSafe contains three pumps that fit in one durable liner. Each pump works hard to keep water leaks under control. The last pump is battery-operated, meaning it turns on if the power fails. Next, we installed WaterGuard as a drainage system to collect water leaking through the walls. This drain is installed in the subfloor and runs along the perimeter of the basement. Concrete is poured over the drainage system to ensure it blends with the space. Norma is thrilled with these waterproofing installations that protect her belongings!

This customer called us out to have a look at his crawl space. The problem with using common plastics as a floor barrier is that they aren’t guaranteed to last. Systems like these tear easily, leaving the space unprotected and looking like a mess. If only there was an energy efficient solution that would make this crawl space good as new while also improving the home…

Our complete crawl space repair system uses a combination of different products - SilverGlo walls, TerraBlock floor insulation, and CleanSpace vapor barrier - all working together to make your crawlspace the best it can be. The SilverGlo walls and TerraBlock floor act as insulation to improve the energy efficiency of your home and provide another layer between the crawl space and outside world. The CleanSpace liner is the icing on the cake. It is attached to the walls and covers the entire floor to encapsulate the area with a durable, mold resistant material. With the entire crawlspace insulated and protected, this homeowner will now save himself from heat loss and future repairs. Let us know if your crawlspace could use saving, too. 

After buying this house from his parents, this Grand Ledge, MI customer began to notice something strange happening to the crawl spaces. Water was building up behind the walls and leaking into the dirty crawl space. He gave us a call asking about a complete encapsulation to dry out his crawl space and keep it that way. Since there was already standing water in the crawl space, the crew needed to give it a way to escape. Our crew installed drainage matting to handle the issue. Drainage matting rests on the floor of the crawl space and will keep water from having a chance to puddle up by directing the flow to a drain. Once the matting was in place, the crew went about encapsulating the entire crawl space – floor, walls and all – with the CleanSpace. The plastic liner won’t allow moisture or humidity to permeate back into this crawl space.
