Before & After Photos

Carole had a concrete wall in the basement that was cracked and causing water to seep in. She called Ayers to have an inspection done at her home so she could figure out possible solutions. Our System Design Specialists were able to recommend FlexiSpan from this inspection. FlexiSpan is a solution that has a two-layer sealant process. One layer fills the crack with a polyurethane sealant and the other part we add is a drainage route for the water intrusion to be directed. We place a white panel over the now sealed crack and place a drainage well in the sub-floor below this to catch the water if it permeates. Carole was glad these pesky puddles were finally resolved without a full wall remodel!

Homeowners in Vermontville, MI kept their crawl space clean and organized but were still fighting a battle to keep it dry. With unfinished wood walls and dirt floors, moisture was soaking in and causing puddles to form that could eventually lead to mold.

CleanSpace, a white, durable liner, was brought in to seal moisture out of the crawl space. This liner acts as a vapor barrier preventing any water or humidity from passing through. Its mold resistant properties will keep any mildew and rot away as well as pests, insects, and smelly odors.  

The customer called us in dire need of a solution for his leaking basement walls. Heavy rains and outside water pressure had made the problem worse.

We installed WaterGuard® in the entire basement to collect seeping water from their basement walls and drain it into the sump pump. As an added measure, we installed a TrenchDrain™ to catch water that may enter the basement from an outside entryway as well as prevent freezing in the winter. 

The customer also opted to install our new ThermalDry Elite Plank flooring with a beautiful walnut finish in their newly waterproofed basement. Our flooring is inorganic and waterproof, which means you don’t need to worry about your floor harboring mold.

This homeowner called us when she was noticed a pretty heavy leak from a crack behind her drywall. It was clear that they had tried to waterproof the crack in the past but the fix didn't work. The drywall was removed from the leaking area to expose the issue. Often times we see people use moisture blocking paints and injectable sealants to fix these cracks but neither one lasts forever. They have a tendency to fail over time because the cracks don't stay the same forever.

We waterproofed the crack by injecting a sealant into it as a first line of defense. Then we created a drywell at the base of the crack with some minor excavation. The drywell is filled with crushed stone and the concrete is replaced with the exception of a small gap at the base of the wall. Any incoming water will seep into the drywell and be allowed to leach back into the soil safely. The crack is finally covered by a layer of foam and a layer of our mold and mildew resistant CleanSpace moisture barrier. The foam creates a space for the water to flow between the wall and CleanSpace layer. Now any incoming water will flow right down the wall and into the ground without the homeowner aware of it ever happening aside from the new lack of moisture in the finished area of this basement.

Doug has a partially finished basement and wants to add an egress window to the part that is not finished. Egress windows provide a safe exit in case of emergencies and allow extra natural light into the space!
