Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

The sump pump in the before photo was trying its best to get the job done. Sadly, it wasn’t enough. The basement had already flooded 5 times, so the owner really wanted a change. While he had originally called to request a new sump pump to go along with the previous, he instead chose to go with the TripleSafe sump pump in the after photo as a replacement. The TripleSafe has two backup pumps that will protect against any possible future floods. The primary pump in the TripleSafe system discharges over 2,000 gallons of water per hour and the backup discharges almost 4,000. There’s a third battery operated pump that will push out water even if the power is out.  With the new TripleSafe in the basement, the owner won't have to worry about any future floods.

Looking for ways to cut your electricity bill? If your basement walls are surrounded by those tiny, virtually useless windows consider having them replaced with egress windows. Their large frame provide over 50% more sunlight than the original windows, allowing you to cut back on the electricity used to light the area. Other benefits include access to fresh air, emergency exit capabilities, and an increase in home value. 

The homeowners were noticing water getting into their basement during the winter months when the snow melted and when it rained.  The water was leaking down the walls and seeping through the floor causing water damage in the area. The homeowners were tired of all the moisture being captured in their basement and causing damage.

Our professional team installed WaterGuard drainage system to combat the pesky water.  The WaterGuard drainage system goes along the interior perimeter of the home sitting on top of the footing. The system sits on top of the footing, away from any mud, so it doesn't get clogged. WaterGuard captures the wall and floor seepage and drains it to the sump pump, which effectively removes the water from the home.  The system is then covered with concrete to give your basement a clean and dry look! The after picture is showing the product after it is completely installed and ready to go! 

Gloria and Jeff had a small egress window that made their basement feel dark, cold, and uninviting. Not to mention, it was letting in a small stream of water. No matter the amount, over time water causes damage. They called our team and we came out and installed a new egress window and window well. Now the space is bright and airy and there aren’t any leaks coming from the egress window. The window well won’t deteriorate over time, won’t require any maintenance, and will aid in letting in lots of light. Gloria and John won’t have to worry about maintenance and can just enjoy their basement without the trickle of water and with more natural light. 

Judith was upset by how much water was pooling on the floor in her basement. She knew this wasn't a good sign and made the decision to give Ayers a call. We sent a team of trained specialists to her home to inspect the site of concern. According to our experts, the best solution to her problem was the TripleSafe sump pump system. With a three-pump design, TripleSafe proactively plans for pump failure by including a backup pump and a battery-powered pump in case of power outages. The TripleSafe system ensures that Judith's basement will be dry in the short and long term!
