Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Kelsey was on the search for a bigger window to replace the current one in her basement. She saw that Ayers sells Egress Windows so they decided to make the call. We sent out a crew for an inspection and it was agreed that she would love the Egress Window.

There are many benefits to having an Egress Window installed and the main one being they are much larger and allow for a quick and easy exit in the event of an emergency situation. They are also waterproof so they will withstand heavy rainfalls without leaks. With these windows being larger framed, they allow more natural light to fill the room which will open up the space more. These windows are especially nice for when you want to have guests over or if someone wants to make their room in the basement.

Kelsey was happy with how the Egress Windows transformed her basement into a regular living space!

James had standing water in his basement after every storm and was sick of scooping it out. The issue became frustrating and tedious, so he wanted to hire professionals, and called Ayers for help. Our experts stopped by his home and recommended installing the TripleSafe sump pump. TripleSafe includes three separate pumps: the primary, a backup, and a battery-powered backup in case of power outages. James loves his new prevention plan!

The basement in the before photo had just been redone to stop water from leaking into the finished area. The owners wanted to complete the repairs by giving the basement a window that would highlight the finished features. As you can see in the before photo, the old window was barely visible from the outside and certainly didn’t offer a lot of sunlight on the inside. The window in the after photo is our egress replacement window. Our crew had to excavate the soil to make room for the window and its accompanying well. The larger window will allow more light to enter the basement while the well protects it from water and the elements, so leaks like before won't happen again. Note: the soil around the well was filled back in before the installation was completed.

Window Wells offer an attractive alternative to ugly basement windows window, while providing a safe, code-compliant basement egress. Our egress windows allow more natural light and fresh air into the basement to make the space feel larger and more inviting.

Diana knew it was time to call up professionals when she noticed water leaks in her basement were making her carpets wet. After she called Ayers we sent out a crew for inspection and it was determined she could use our WaterGuard System as well as our TripleSafe Sump Pump System.

WaterGuard is a below-floor drainage system that rests on the drainage stone on top of the foundation footing. This system will catch water leaking through your walls and as it makes its way to the floor, WaterGuard will collect it and reroute it to your sump system. Concrete is poured over this to conceal the drainage system. The TripleSafe is a three pump system that fits in one sturdy liner. These pumps collect water and are covered with an airtight lid that prevents water from evaporating into the basement. The last pump is even battery-operated so it will turn on if your power goes out. 

Diana was grateful to have a system installed that will keep her carpets dry, protecting her precious belongings!
