Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Deborah worried about water pooling into her basement. She knew her sump pump must have failed, so she called Ayers for help. Our crew visited her home and recommended the SmartSump sump pump. This system is designed specifically for small spaces and includes WaterWatch, the alarm system intended to alert the homeowner when water leaks past the sensor. Deborah is happy she called Ayers to get the job done!

Any diversions from a flat surface in your yard - hills, valleys, slants - can cause headaches when it comes to water. Our customer called because the slant to their driveway was helping water drain toward the house instead of away - sometimes it seemed to be coming right from the floor.

By installing TrenchDrain in the driveway, water can drain through the grated opening and divert to an outlet in the yard, far away from the house.

Our customer called after buying a house and realizing that the existing sump pump was not up to snuff. We replaced it with a TripleSafe sump pump and installed IceGuard on the discharge lines to protect against freezing lines next winter.

This basement would leak down the walls after heavy rains and onto the tile floor. As you can see in the before photo, the wood panels had a bit of water damage towards the bottom of them. To help repair the problem, the crew installed a WaterGuard perimeter drainage system at the foot of the walls. They cut the bottom portions of the walls to remove the stains. Before the perimeter system could be installed, the tile and floor needed to be excavated to make room for the pipes. The after photo shows where fresh concrete was poured to cover the system and the SuperSump system that will pump out any water in the WaterGuard. With those two systems, there will be no more leaks in this basement.

Let's be real no one ever thinks they're house is going to catch fire, or flood, or have something tragic happen. BUT, it does happen all the time. An egress window is a great idea to have in your basement because it allows a second way out in case of an emergency. The building code now also requires that every new home have two exits. 

We installed this egress window in this family's partially finished basement so they can have peace of mind that everyone is safe and can escape if needed.
