Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Norma's basement lacked waterproofing systems, making the space vulnerable to leaks. She decided that calling Ayers would be the best move to prevent water damage. Our experts inspected her basement to determine the appropriate recommendations for the space. We suggested our TripleSafe sump pump system and WaterGuard system. TripleSafe contains three pumps that fit in one durable liner. Each pump works hard to keep water leaks under control. The last pump is battery-operated, meaning it turns on if the power fails. Next, we installed WaterGuard as a drainage system to collect water leaking through the walls. This drain is installed in the subfloor and runs along the perimeter of the basement. Concrete is poured over the drainage system to ensure it blends with the space. Norma is thrilled with these waterproofing installations that protect her belongings!

We use CleanSpace, a durable plastic liner - like a pool liner - for lining dirt crawl spaces. It is perfect as a basement wall solution for stone wall basements. Because stone walls are not flat, they are not candidates for BrightWall paneling. The CleanSpace provides a vapor barrier, drains water behind it, and dramatically brightens the basement. It will have little waves in it because it comes off of a roll rather than in panels, but the CleanSpace is very durable and nearly impossible to rip.

The owner of this home decided to upgrade their current sump pump for a the more effective and aesthetically pleasing TripleSafe. This sump pump is the king of all sump pumps, sporting three pumps within a single liner. One Zoeller ⅓ hp pump, a Zoeller ½ hp pump, and an “Ultra Sump” battery operated pump that works in the event that the power goes out. All of these pumps are housed in one liner that has an airtight lid to prevent water from evaporating into the basement, and eliminating an eyesore. TripleSafe efficiently works to pump water out of the basement in any situation.

The homeowners had water coming into their basment through cracks in the floors and walls. The water was starting to cause visible damage to the floors and walls. During the winter months the water coming into the homeowners basement gets worse because of all the melting snow and ice. 

Our professional team decided that IceGuard anti freeze system will be the perfect solution to the homeowners water problems. The IceGuard system attached to the sump pump discharge line outside of the home. The IceGuard system allows water to escape from a sump pump discharge line if the pipe freezes or becomes blocked for any reason. Even if the pipe outlet is buried under a foot of ice and snow, the water can escape, allowing your sump pump to keep your basement dry.

A customer from Ada, MI called us about her basement and wanted a free estimate. We drove to her property and noticed that she needed a sump pump to pump the water out of the basement. So we installed our TripleSafe sump pump which is the best water fighting sump pump out there. TripleSafe is a sump pump with three different pumps in one liner.

The first being the 1/3 hp zoeller pump which does most of the pumping and is placed at the bottom of the liner. The second is the 1/2 hp zoeller that is placed slightly higher than the first. This pump is more powerful but will only be turned on when needed. The final pump is the battery-operated UltraSump DC which is used in case of a power outage, this pump can pump up to 24,000 gallons of water. Now this Ada homeowner will never have to worry about a wet basement.
