Before & After Photos

A customer wanted to turn his basement into a living space and so he called us to install Egress Windows and Wells. Egress Window Wells are required because they are big enough to provide a safe exit in case of emergency. In addition, these windows provide lots of natural light. Lastly, most windows offer minimal protection against outside air entering the home due to poor insulation around the window. Egress windows will help ventilate your indoor areas and prevent unwanted allergens from entering your house.

This homeowner had a leak in their basement and the floor was wet. There was no sump pump and the problem area was under a window in an unfinished part of the basement. We had the perfect solution for the home to keep it dry and the water out. We started with installing the WaterGuard system which is a French drain system that is under the floor but above the foundation to keep it from clogging. The system collects the water that leaks in from the walls and drains it to the sump pump to be expelled out of the home. We then installed a powerful sump pump which can pump 2,220 gallons of water per hour to keep the area dry and the homeowner happy!

After just buying a home, Ramon realized that water was getting into his basement. Ramon decided to contact Ayers for a professional opinion. After an inspection of his house, The team at Ayers concluded water was coming up and into the basement through cracks in the floor. While Ramon did have a sump pump present, it appeared there was a failure with the system. Ayers suggested installing TripleSafe as it would efficiently pump all the water out of his basement. TripleSafe utilizes two pumps within one-liner, with the addition of an external battery in the case of a power outage. After installing TripleSafe, Ramon no longer had issues with standing water in his basement!

Patrick, a retired veteran, had been struggling with a persistent water issue in the basement of his 1989 home in Morley, Michigan. A vertical crack in the corner allowed water to seep in during heavy rains, and despite a repair made in the 2000s, occasional leaks continued along the north side of the foundation. As he considered the possibility of selling his home, he wanted to ensure the basement stayed dry and looked good—an improvement that would enhance his quality of life and his home's value.

All of Patrick’s concerns were addressed with a complete waterproofing solution. WaterGuard® was installed around the perimeter to collect and direct water to the SuperSump® Plus pump system, keeping the space dry. The FlexiSpan® crack repair system provides a flexible, long-lasting solution to seal the vertical crack, even with any future foundation movement. Additionally, BrightWall® panels made the basement look clean and finished while also ensuring any moisture would be channeled into the drainage system.

Patrick now enjoys a dry and visually appealing basement. Whether he decides to stay in his home or put it up for sale, he can feel confident knowing that the waterproofing system has added value, improved the space's attractiveness, and provided him with peace of mind. This solution was exactly what he needed to protect his home and enhance his living environment.

This couple had been considering waterproofing their Reed City, MI basement for quite some time. Since they had plans to sell the house in the future, the couple knew they would be paying to fix it at some point; so why not do it sooner and reap the benefits. After a combination of positive experiences – a recommendation from their neighbor and a conversation with a representative at a cottage show – the couple finally decided to give Ayers a try and waterproof their basement.

The couple’s main concern was the water seeping through their wall cracks. Besides the puddling on the floor – the leakage was having another undesirable effect – the water was staining the blocks on its way down the walls. BrightWall panels allowed the crew to drain the leakage and hide the water damaged walls at the same time. The panels were attached in front of the block walls so water could flow behind them and into a drainage system that rests at the foot of the wall.  The couple was so pleased to have clean, waterproof walls that they’re considering foundation work from Ayers, as well.
