Before & After Photos

Terri had some water intrusion in her basement during and after heavy rains. There was one spot in her basement where water collects behind her wall, leaving the spot wet, and excess water gets pushed out through a crack. She did not know where the water was coming from but it could have been an issue with the window right above the leak. 

We installed a new basement window to prevent leaks and make sure the seals are safe. We also installed FlexiSpan Wall Crack Repair to cover the cracks where water was getting behind the wall and where the water leaked out. This sealant is flexible so it can move with the wall and ensures that the crack is sealed. It installs smoothly over the wall so it can easily be covered with basement finishings!

Duane had no sump pump in his Kalamazoo, MI basement and had recently noticed that one of the walls was a bit damp. He called Ayers for an inspection and our crew determined that Duane would need WaterGuard, the TripleSafe sump pump, and a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to correct the water intrusion. Duane also requested our BrightWall paneling to make the basement look nice. 

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. The 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. The SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier automatically removes up to 100 pints of water a day from the air in the home’s basement. This system circulates the now dry air through the basement and automatically removes the leftover water so you don’t have to.   

Duane was thrilled with the work done by Ayers to accurately correct his water intrusion in the basement. He was so happy to have caught the problem early before it could cause major damage. Before we were done with the installation, Duane requested BrightWall panels for the walls. BrightWall panels are the perfect solution for those who want to combine beauty and practicality in one. It is a rigid plastic covering that is completely waterproof and made of inorganic materials. This keeps the walls from becoming waterlogged and moldy like wood. The bright white panels reflect the light, maximizing lighting in the basement. 

Trudi noticed water leaking into her basement from the seams between the floor and walls. She spent the last few days trying to mop up the water and eventually called Ayers to learn about our waterproofing solutions. Our team of specialists stopped by her home and recommended installing the WaterGuard drainage pipe system. WaterGuard reduces drainage pipe clogs by sitting atop the home's footing rather than alongside it like most systems. Trudi is happy to put her mop away!

Paul was worried about his basement walls as they had excess moisture dripping from them and no efficient sump pump system to deal with it, so he called Ayers. After our crew inspected his basement it was agreed that we would install our CleanSpace Wall System and SuperSump Plus to resolve these problems. First with the CleanSpace Wall System this is made of a durable, plastic liner with a vapor barrier that will prevent this moisture development on the walls. Then SuperSump Plus was added to take care of any water that does happen to drain down the wall as this is a horsepower pump capable of pumping 2200 gallons of water an hour.

Paul was grateful to have two efficient, trustworthy systems installed to keep his walls clean and dry!

Mary’s front porch was sinking and cracked, so our team installed PolyLevel. PolyLevel is a waterproof and long-lasting system designed to fix concrete slabs that have sunk. It uses a polyurethane foam that expands and has a high density in order to lift the concrete slabs back to their original level. The process is quite simple and is done by drilling small holes into the concrete and then inserting the foam into the holes.
