Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Zach was sick of the puddles of water forming in his basement from occasional water leaks so he decided to call Ayers. After an inspection was complete our System Design Specialists recommended we install our WaterGuard System, TripleSafe Sump Pump System, and our SaniDry XP Dehumidifier. 

The first installation was our WaterGuard System which is a sub-floor drainage system that collects the water leaking in through the walls and is placed along the perimeter of the basement. Then we added TripleSafe which has three pumps in one trusty liner that team up to keep water out. The last pump is battery-operated so it will turn on if the power fails. Lastly we installed our SaniDry XP Dehumidifier to clean and filter the air from unwanted moisture.

Zach was ecstatic with the results now that he won't have to stress over these water leaks!

Scott worried about the water pooling on his basement floor after every storm. He knew his sump pump wasn't working and wanted to replace it, so he researched his options and called Ayers to learn about our waterproofing solutions. We sent a team of experts to his home to assess the situation and recommend a solution. They suggested the TripleSafe sump pump designed to prevent pump failure with three separate pumps. The first is the primary, followed by a backup, and finally a battery-powered backup pump in case of outages. Scott is relieved to have a dry basement!

Jose really needed to tackle the water intrusion in his basement that would occur during heavy rains so he gave Ayers a call. We had a crew inspect his basement in order to develop a plan with the best solutions for his situation. From this inspection it was decided that our WaterGuard System and TripleSafe Sump Pump System will provide the best fix. The WaterGuard is a sub-floor drainage system that collects water that leaks in through the walls and directs it to the sump pump rather than gathering on the floor. We conceal the system with concrete when finished. Then for a more efficient sump pump we added TripleSafe as this is a three pump system that fits in one durable liner and keeps water out of the home. Jose was relieved that he no longer has to worry about puddles ruining his belongings!

This customer gave us a call after noticing long cracks across the walls and ceiling in their sun room. The room was held up by wood pillars installed into the deck area outside. The weight of the room became too much for the pillars to hold and the room began to shift. This was evident to both the homeowner and our crew because of the uneven floor and cracked walls. It was a different problem, but not out of our wheelhouse.

Lifting failing foundations and floor joists is nothing new to us over at Ayers. In fact, it’s pretty common. To treat this problem and ensure that it won’t return, we use SmartJacks. The great benefit of using SmartJacks for this job, instead of the already in place wood pillars, is that they were designed for heavy duty use. The support system is mostly used to repair crawl spaces and raise the above floors back to their original position, so there was no doubt that the SmartJacks could handle the weight. The team used 6 steel SmartJacks and installed them deep into the soil with a concrete fill. This way the homeowner can rest assured that the support system won’t fail, even if the ground does. If you’re looking for an expert solution to your sagging floor and a team that will have fun while installing it, then give us a call and ask if the SmartJack support system could help you. 

Sharon had a partial basement waterproofing system installed by another company several years ago. Now she was looking to have a system installed throughout so that the basement can stay completely dry. Our team installed a WaterGuard perimeter drainage system along the walls, tying into the existing system to create one continuous protective unit. WaterGuard is a french drain system that sits on the home's footing and gathers moisture along the base of the wall and directs it inconspicuously to the sump pump system.
