Before & After Photos

This GR homeowner has noticed water in the corner of the basement. The water seems to be coming in where the floor and walls meet so we installed the WaterGuard French Drain System. The system is installed under the floor but above the foundation to keep it out of the "mud zone" where the drain could clog. The drain system collects the water that seeps into the basement and sends it to the sump pump to be discharged out of the home. The system installs quickly and has a clean finished appearance, meaning you don't have to worry about having an unsightly drain around the basement.

Ben was concerned with the water leaking into his basement after storms and wasn't sure how to fix it. Towels and shovels weren't cutting it, so he researched his options and called Ayers for help. We sent our specialists to his home, and they recommended installing the TripleSafe sump pump. TripleSafe aims to eliminate sump pump failure by providing two backup pumps, one of which is battery-powered in case of outages. Ben feels much more prepared for the next storm!

When this homeowner decided to sell his rental property, he knew that the basement could use an uplift. The walls had been leaking, and the water damage was beginning to show on the stone blocks. He wanted to make sure the walls were rid of mold, but with the house going on the market so soon, a total wall replacement seemed a bit excessive.

Our BrightWall system provided this Grand Rapids, MI home with everything it was missing without the price or time of installing a new foundation. Once the mold was removed, BrightWall panels were able to be put in place on top of the stone walls, so there was no invasive or lengthy installation. The panels are made of inorganic, rigid plastic, meaning mold will have to look elsewhere if it wants to grow in this basement. BrightWall is more than just a looker, it’s the perfect waterproofing compliment for the perimeter drainage system that was also installed. If any water does leak in, the two systems will work together - with water flowing behind the BrightWall panels and into the WaterGuard drainage system sitting below - to collect and direct the water out.  We’re guessing that the waterproofing and clean look will make selling this house all the easier.

Pat had an existing egress window in her basement. She wanted to have it extended and made larger. We extended her window by  installing our EverLast egress window. The Everlast windows are made of all vinyl and are energy-efficient, don’t let wind in, and are rot and mold resistant.

Chad M. needed to address the leaks in his basement that eventually led to standing water in one of the basement corners. That water led to the growth of mold which concerned the family. After we installed a WaterGuard system around the perimeter of the basement to capture water entering the basement, Chad decided to also add an egress window. These windows bring light into the basement, provide a safe way to egress a basement during an emergency and they are correctly sealed to keep cold outside air out.
