Electrical Needs? We Can Cover It

We’re going to talk about one of the lesser knowns but important services Ayers offers today - a dedicated electrician. “What does an electrician have to do with my flooded basement?” you may wonder, but we’ll get to it.

Regardless of the source of your basement or crawl space’s water influx, the major issue is that the water won’t go away. This is because water comes inside when the ground is already past its saturation point - there’s literally nowhere for it to drain to. And that’s when you usually call us, as you’re watching your photo albums float across the basement like tiny wayward ships.

In addition to our perimeter systems and other below ground solutions, a sump pump is often needed, and in some severe cases, a dehumidifier can do wonders. And what do both of these requirements? Electricity!

Unless you have finished your basement and decked it out for major use, you likely don’t have multiple electrical circuits. A sump pump especially can draw a lot of currents when it kicks on, and it’s sudden changes like this that can trip breakers and cause shutdowns (fun fact, you can’t use a hairdryer in my parents’ bathroom if someone is using the microwave in the kitchen).

That’s why it’s important to have a dedicated circuit for your waterproofing system. With its own circuit, your sump pump and a dehumidifier can turn on and off as they please, guaranteeing your basement stays dry without inconveniencing the rest of your home.

We have a master electrician and apprentice as part of our full-time staff at Ayers. What this means for you is that you get the same quality of service for your electrical needs as you receive for your waterproofing project. There’s no worry about an unvetted subcontractor in your home, no separate bill to pay, and you don’t even have to make a different call - our system design specialists will take care of all of it when you receive your quote, and our production coordinators will schedule the electrician in conjunction with the rest of your project. A pretty good deal, right?

Call us today if you have water in your basement, and we’ll take care of the rest.
