Before & After Photos

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!

Water had been pouring through these block walls and then puddling on the basement floor. While the flooding hadn't been too terrible, the leaks did result in the stains on the wall and floors seen in the before photo. Other than the stains, the walls also had visible cracks where the water was flowing through.

To fix the leaks and cover up the stains from the past, the crew brought out BrightWall rigid plastic panels. The panels are a moisture barrier, and instead of allowing water to flow down to the floor, they keep water out of sight and behind the barrier. Then the panels direct any leakage to a perimeter drainage system under the floor footing. In one installation, the BrightWall panels waterproofed and improved this basement's look.

A customer wanted to turn part of her basement space into a bedroom. So she called our team for help and so we installed an Egress Window and Well. Due to poor insulation around the window, most windows offer minimal protection against outside air entering the home. Egress windows will help ventilate your indoor areas and prevent unwanted allergens from entering your house. In addition, egress windows provide a safe exit in case of emergency so they are required in finished basement living areas and these windows provide lots of natural light.

When cracks form on walls, it can have consequences such as basement flooding.  Cracks are mainly caused by pressure from soil leading to water leakage and expansion.  This has to be dealt with to reduce expansion and leakage.

Our FlexiSpan crack repair system will do the job right the first time. FlexiSpan is a three-step process. The first step is to apply a flexible sealant along the full length of the crack. Next, a strip of porous and flexible foam is installed over the crack. Lastly, an impermeable membrane was adhered to the wall on both sides of the foam strip. This treatment allows any future seepage of water through the crack to move invisibly down the wall and into the basements perimeter drainage system. The FlexiSpan crack repair system is flexible enough to move with your wall allowing it to work under all conditions.
