Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

The homeowners had water coming into their basement from their crawlspace. Water was pooling in their crawlspace and seeping into their home. The homeowner did not have a sump pump so standing water had started to accumulate in the basement. 

Our professional team installed the TripleSafe sump pump in order to combat this standing water. The TripleSafe sump pump is great because it has three sump pumps in one, giving you triple protection. The first pump will remove water from your home efficiently and effectively. The second pump is more powerful and has a separate discharge line. The second pump is there for you on the rare occasions that the first pump fails. The third pump is equipped with batteries so it is there for you if the power goes out. The triple safe sump pump is the best option because it adjusts automatically when needed and keeps your basement dry with triple protection.

Water was leaking into the corners of this basement after heavy rainfalls. The basement already had 3 different floor drains and a sump pump, but they were no longer in use. To keep water out and prevent future puddles, the owners gave us a call.

Water that leaks into basement tends to flow down the walls and puddle at the floor and wall joint. For this exact reason, we install our perimeter drainage system at the foot of basement walls. In the after photo, you can see the gap for the WaterGuard system that permits water to enter the pipes. Since there were drains already in place, the customer asked to have the WaterGuard connected to the storm drain system for discharge. The crew was happy to oblige. Rainfalls will no longer mean the flooding of this basement.

We had been in talks with the owners of this University property since last December. After months of passing the proposal up the chain, the job was finally approved. The main concern was the regular leaking of the basement walls. For any basement waterproofing, one of the key aspects is a sump pump system. The hole shown in the before photo is an open sump that was installed in the home previously. It wasn’t able to keep up with the heavy water load that was regularly flowing into the home. After talks with one of the system design specialist, the owners decided on one of our most reliable sump pump systems, the SuperSump.

Seen in the after photo, the SuperSump is capable of discharging over 2,000 gallons of water per hour and has an optional backup pump that will keep water out even if the power goes out. Also, unlike the previous sump, the SuperSump comes equipped with a lid to keep out any type of debris that could clog the system. With the SuperSump and several other waterproofing products included in this installation, this basement won’t have to worry about leaking walls again.

Thelma needed to get rid of the water entering her basement so she called our team. We installed SuperSump in addition to some other systems. The SuperSump Premier Sump Pump System can handle high pumping demands better than normal sump pumps. In addition, it will alert you when water levels are too high and has an airtight lid to prevent any unwanted moisture or pests from entering.

We did work on Shirley’s home a couple of years ago, installing the SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier and an exterior discharge line to keep her basement dry. She was absolutely thrilled with the work Ayers did. Our Ayers crew went back out for one of our regular proactive service visits, and noticed there was still some slight water intrusion in the crawl space. 

We spoke with Shirley about the issues we found, and she wanted us to fix it immediately. Our crew determined that she would need a new sump pump to deal with the constant  water intrusion her home was experiencing. The good thing was that we could connect our new TripleSafe sump pump to the preexisting work we had done. 

The TripleSafe sump pump system utilizes three pumps in order 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. 

Shirley loved our crew and was so happy that Ayers was so proactive in her service. She would never have noticed the water in the crawl space. Shirley could not be more pleased with the work Ayers completed.
