Grand Rapids, MI Basement Egress Window Let's the Light Shine In

Dan V. wasn't having any basement waterproofing issues but needed to replace an old basement window. Our field supervisor Ron N. designed a solution for Dan V. that included a code-compliant egress window with built-in steps to allow his family a safe exit from their basement room in case of an emergency.

While not pictured, we covered this window well with a safety cover designed to keep debris out while letting in beautiful, natural sunlight. These window well covers can also withstand rust, rot, rain, snow and UV rays. You can see the dramatic difference in the size of the window and the ability for a quick emergency exit.

Waterproofing a Wyoming MI Basement

Shelly had some water coming into her partially finished basement where the wall and floor meet. She wanted her basement to be dry and keep her things safe. We used WaterGuard to collect the water that leaks into the basement and send to her sump pump. It is installed under the floor and all concrete is replaced afterwards so you do not have an ugly drain in the basement. It keeps the space dry and protects the home finishings!

WaterGuard System Handles Water Leaks in Grand Rapids, MI Basement

Benjamin's basement was not looking too hot due to the water leaks he was dealing with so he called Ayers for waterproofing solutions. After we had a crew conduct a free inspection, a decision was made to install our WaterGuard System. Our WaterGuard solution is a sub-floor drainage system that collects water or dirt leaking in through the walls. It is installed along the perimeter of the basement on top of the footing of the foundation and then concealed with concrete. For a more finished look, Ben can have regular installed over this system if he desires as well!

Basement Water Damage in Fulton, MI? See How Louann Fixed It

Louann's basement in Fulton, MI, faced constant water issues, with pooling at the floor-wall joint causing mold and drywall damage. After installing a CleanSpace® vapor barrier, WaterGuard® French drain, and TripleSafe™ sump pump, her basement is now dry, secure, and mold-free. Louann can now enjoy peace of mind knowing her home is safe from water damage and healthier for her family.

CleanSpace Walls Keep Out Moisture in Grand Rapids, MI Basement

The before photo shows the damage caused by the leaking basement wall. Constant rain had let moisture into the basement and caused discoloring of the wall. On top of that, the wall had turned into a mess to look at. The wall was starting to crumble inwards, note the slight curves in the before photo. The solution in the after photo is our CleanSpace Wall System. CleanSpace is a vapor barrier that will hold back any moisture that passes through foundation walls. Water that does continue to leak through the foundation wall will flow down behind the barrier into the perimeter drainage system below. The wall will no longer look like it did in the before photo.
