Before & After Photos

Casey just purchased Sterling Heights home that was built in 1938 and the seller never disclosed that there was water in the crawl space with and a terrible DIY fix. She called Ayers for an inspection, and our crew determined she would need WaterGuard and a TripleSafe.  

WaterGuard is a sub-floor waterproofing system that collects water that leaks through the walls and keeps dirt away from the foundation. It is installed along the perimeter of the basement and on top of the footing of the foundation. Concrete is poured on top and regular flooring can be placed on top. A TripleSafe sump pump system utilizes three pumps in order to remove excess water from the basement. The second and third pumps are in case of emergencies so the basement can remain dry, even when the power goes out. 

Casey was angry that the seller didn’t disclose the state of the crawlspace, but extremely grateful to Ayers that we could get her new home safe and dry for her and her family. She’s thrilled she never has to worry about flooding or an unstable foundation ever again.  

Kathy was tired of water leaking into her basement. She contacted us at Ayers Basement System to find a permanent waterproofing solution. After conducting an inspection, the team at Ayers determined that the FlexiSpan wall system would be the best solution. FlexiSpan is a three-step process where the crack is sealed, and waterproof liners are placed, creating a waterproof barrier. After the installation, Kathy no longer had issues with water leaking into her basement!

David realized the cracks and seams in his basement walls allowed water to leak in and wasn't sure how to fix it himself. After researching his options, he called Ayers to learn about our waterproofing solutions. Our crew of professionals stopped by his house and recommended installing WaterGuard, a drainage pipe system. WaterGuard is placed on top of the footing, rather than alongside it, to bypass mud collection and prevent clogging. David loves his new drainage pipe!

Fiona was concerned about the water draining into her basement. She knew water could cause damage to her home's structure, so she called Ayers. We sent a team of experts to examine the issue and decided WaterGuard, a drainage pipe system engineered to be clog-free and placed on top of rather than alongside the footing, was the best solution. Fiona is excited her basement will remain permanently dry!

We all know doing laundry isn’t the most enjoyable experience, but it’s probably a lot less unpleasant if you have to do it in a basement like this one. The mortar around the cinderblock walls is crumbling, letting moisture into the basement. While the owners have a sump pump, there’s no way for the water from the leaky walls to enter it; that’s where WaterGuard comes in.

Our team installed WaterGuard, a drainage system that’s laid on top of the footing around the perimeter of the basement. This piping collects water from the leaky walls and reroutes it to the sump pump, where it’s then forced out of the basement through a discharge line.

To improve the overall look of the walls, we also installed BrightWall paneling. These plastic panels fastened to the wall brighten the space, while still allowing water from the walls behind it to drain to the WaterGuard system. These panels prevent water vapor from coming through the walls and evaporating the basement, too.

WaterGuard helps eliminate the water from the leaky walls in this basement, while Brightwall paneling dramatically enhances the space. We won’t promise the homeowners that doing their laundry will be fun, but we hope it will be a lot more bearable when it’s done in this bright, dry basement.
