Before & After Photos

With the basement walls primarily made of stone, moisture and high humidity became a serious problem when water began to find its way through. The CleanSpace vapor barrier was installed to keep the moisture out of the air and reduce mold growth and musty smells by allowing water to drain while protecting the room from ambient moisture.

Cracks in basement walls can be difficult to waterproof when conventional sealants don't stick well and cracks move and expand. We've helped many homeowners who have tried to waterproof cracks on their own with no success.

Our team does inject sealants into the crack but this is only a first line of defense. We also excavate a small area under the crack creating a drywell a few gallons deep that water will eventually flow into and leach back into the soil. The drywell is filled with crushed stone and the concrete on top is replaced aside from a small gap at the base of the wall where the water is allowed to seep in. The crack is covered with a foam followed by a mold and mildew resistant layer on top. The foam creates a space between the wall and mold resistant layer where water can flow freely into the drywell in the event that the sealants begin to fail. The homeowner will never have to worry about puddles. They'll likely not even know whether the crack is leaking or not. The shop vac can now have a much needed break.

Our customer was experiencing water seeping into their basement where the floor and wall meet. The water coming has caused damage to the walls. After we waterproofed this customer’s basement we installed our Everlast Panels. Our Everlast Panels helped to cover up the damaged walls and make sure that any additional water that seeped through would drain to the WaterGuard system and goes into the Ultra Sump sump pump. The Ultra Sump sump pump will be pump any water that entered the basement.

Emily wanted a bigger window to replace the small basement window she had. She discovered Ayers sold larger waterproof basement windows so she gave us a call. Our System Design Specialist recommended our Egress Windows to Emily and she decided to go forward with the installation. 

Our Egress Windows make a great basement window replacement since they are larger they will open up your space more. They also make an excellent source of natural light and will circulate more fresh air into the basement. The window includes a well with a step in it which allows for a quick, easy exit in emergency situations. 

Emily was satisfied with the new look this Egress Window brought her basement as it transformed the room into a regular living space!

Bob knew he had water problems in his basement but wasn't sure how to fix it. After the last storm, water leaked onto the floor and pooled in the middle. He couldn't tolerate standing water, so he called Ayers for help. A team of experts stopped by his home and recommended installing the TripleSafe sump pump. TripleSafe consists of three pumps: a primary, a backup, and a battery-powered pump for power outages. Bob is relieved to have a dry basement!
