Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Glenda worked at a church over 100 years old and noticed water intrusion in the basement. She called Ayers for solutions, so we sent a team to the church. We recommended our WaterGuard and TripleSafe sump pump system to keep heavy water volumes under control. First, we installed WaterGaurd below the basement floor around the walls to ensure leaks get collected in this drainage system. To conceal the drain, we pour concrete over it. Next, we replaced her old corroded sump pump with TripleSafe. This three-pump system fits in one durable liner and can keep up with higher volumes of water. Glenda is thrilled to keep this church in better shape for all the visitors!

A crack emanating from a window in this home's foundation was the final obstacle to the pending sale of the house. When we get calls from people in the middle of a sale like this, we try to turn it around as quickly as possible. Luckily, we were able to send out both our System Design Specialist and production crew in short order, and from the time our customer called to the time the project was finished was six days.

A FlexiSpan repair took care of the crack, which the owners had tried to repair themselves to no avail.

A call about a wet basement will always grab our attention. This homeowner was dealing with pooling on her floor. The moisture from the ground outside found a way into the basement through several cracks in the walls. You can see in the during/after shot where the water was pooling under the wood panels.

The best way to fight leaky basement walls is with a drainage system. These systems run around the entire perimeter of the basement and any obstacles. Water is most likely to seep down the walls and collect in the joints where floor and wall meet, so the pipes are also placed there. In the case of monolithic or thick floor, where jackhammering could result in a long and messy installation, we use the DryTrak system. Unlike our other systems, DryTrak piping is installed above the floor. The piping system will direct water to the homeowner’s new Super Sump and deposit the water outside. And just like that, her wet basement is a thing of the past!

Due to the heavy rains in South Haven, MI homeowner Ruth R. had water coming into her basement up through the floors. The water was so bad that it had to be moped and dumped out of the basement everyday. That is too much to deal with when there is a perfect solution to the problem! 

Our professional team installed the TripleSafe sump pump to stop this unwanted water from coming in. The TripleSafe is three sump pumps in one giving you triple protection! The first sump pump removes water effectively and efficiently from your home. The second pump is more powerful and has a separate discharge line. The second pump is there for you in the rare occasions that you need it. The third pump is equipped with batteries so it is there for you if the power goes out. The TripleSafe adjusts automatically so you do not have to worry about a thing!

Kens unfinished basement had some drains in the floor but water keeps backing up, causing standing water. We installed the WaterGuard system which is a French drain system under the floor. The drain collects the water in the basement and sends it to the sump pump to be expelled outside the home. We also installed the TripleSafe Sump Pump System which provides 3 levels of protection to the basement in case of a power outage or pump malfunction.
