Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Roseanne's basement has a block foundation with paneling on the walls. Water damage had caused one section of the wall to begin crumbing onto the floor from behind the paneling. She called Ayers Basement Systems for an inspection and our crew determined that Roseanne would need WaterGuard and a TripleSafe sump pump with IceGuard and an exterior discharge line to waterproof her basement and prevent further damage.  

WaterGuard is a sub-floor waterproofing system that collects water that leaks through the walls and keeps dirt away from the foundation. It is installed along the perimeter of the basement and on top of the footing of the foundation. Concrete is poured on top and regular flooring can be placed on top. The TripleSafe sump pump system utilizes three pumps to remove excess water from the basement. The second and third pumps are in case of emergencies so the basement can remain dry, even when the power goes out. IceGuard is a simple addition to your already existing sump pump. It allows water to escape when the discharge line is frozen and prevents your basement flooding in cold weather. IceGuard is completely automatic, meaning after the initial installation, it’s done. Finally, an exterior discharge line is a drain installed leading to the low point of the property, sending water away from the home. Since the system is inside, there’s no dirt to clog it up and water is discharged effectively via the sump pump. 

Roseanne was thrilled with the work done by Ayers and the professionalism of the crew. She was so excited to get her peace of mind back regarding her home. It was great feeling like she was safe and sound again in her own home now that the foundation wouldn’t continue to crumble.

Kareen and her son want to get her home in tip top shape so if they need to sell in the next couple years, all the issues are taken care of. There has been water coming into her partially finished basement where the walls and floors meet as well as from the wall itself. There were cracks outside of the home on the foundation wall and some inside where the water was leaking through. We used PowerBraces to keeps the cracks from getting larger and to help return the wall to the original position. We then installed the WaterGuard Below Floor Drain to collect any water that seeps in and sends it to the sump pump that Kareen already had in her basement so the water could be discharged outside the home. 

Mercedes's old home was built in 1920. There was water seepage through a basement wall, so she needed trustworthy waterproofing systems to keep the house dry permanently. She ended up calling Ayers for our waterproofing solutions, so we sent a team for a free inspection. Our crew suggested our WaterGuard and TripleSafe sump pump system. WaterGuard is an interior drainage system that collects the water leaking through the wall. We place this drain along the perimeter of the basement and pour concrete over the top to conceal it. Next, we hooked the WaterGuard to TripleSafe to eradicate the water. TripleSafe is a three-pump system that fits in one durable liner. Mercedes was relieved and impressed with the professional solutions provided to her!

Daniel was having issues with his egress window as water was getting into his basement during heavy rains. He decided to contact Ayers and look for solutions to his home problems. A System Design Specialist with Ayers determined that the window lid and well were not waterproofed, thus allowing water into the basement. The team at Ayers suggested installing a new window cover and lid. 

Daniel opted to have the Rockwell Egress Window Cover installed, which will provide a much better seal to the house and stop water from leaking into the window well. Additionally, a Rockwell Escape lid was installed, which made the window look better and provided a waterproof seal! After everything was said and done with Daniel's home, he no longer needed to worry about water leaking into his basement!

The customer had water coming into her 1890s home from the northwest corner, with up to half an inch of standing water at times. Concerned about the old stone foundation, she requested a full inspection. Utilizing our full perimeter waterproofing system and our Triplesafe Sump Pump, this basement can now be dry and no longer be concerned about water intrusion.
