Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Bobby R wanted to finish his basement for his family but persistent water issues made that impossible. His basement always had several water puddles throughout the space since the home was first purchased five years ago. We installed a full perimeter WaterGuard drainage system to capture water from the walls and floor and transport it to the newly installed sump pump. The family also opted to have an egress window installed to finally finish the basement and possibly create a basement bedroom.

This Ada homeowner had some water that was around the perimeter of her basment. Her basement was finished but since there was a water issue, she had to cut up the carpet. There was no moisture on the walls and there was no sump pump. We installed WaterGuard, a sump pump, and the IceGuard to help keep her basement dry. 

We first installed WaterGuard System which is a French drain that installed below the floor. This drain collects water and drains it to the sump pump. Next we installed the SuperSump Premier Pump System to keep the basment dry even during heavy water intrusion. We installed the sump pump with the UltraSump Battery BackUp System. This ensures continued protection in the event of loss of power, if power goes out the battery kick on to remove water from the basement. If water freezes in the pipes, the water gets backed up and then the sump pump can't work poroperly causing a flood. So we installed the IceGuard which fits over the top of your discharge line to provide water with that secondary escape route. 

Adina and Terry had water issues around the perimeter of their finished basement so they had to rip up the carpet. There was no moisture found on the walls or signs of water. They didn't have a sump pump to get rid of the water and they wanted to be able to use the space again. We installed the WaterGuard which is a French drain system under the floor but above the foundation to keep it from clogging. We also installed the SuperSump Premier Pump System with the added battery back up to make sure the basement stays dry for extended periods of time even when there is heavy water intrusion, even in the event of a powere outage. Lastly we installed the SaniDry XP, a basement dehumidifier that keeps dry air circulating throughout the space to keep the area dry. It is ideal for finished basements because it can be stored in a corner or closet so it is not in the way.

Homeowners in Ada, Michigan, enlisted Ayers to update their outdated egress window to meet current code standards. After recently finishing their basement to include a kitchenette and additional living space, they wanted to enlarge the existing window to ensure proper egress and enhance the safety and functionality of the area. As a bonus, the home's value increased with the space now brought up to code.

Aliyah gave Ayers the call when she noticed her current sump pump wasn't able to keep up with the water anymore. We had a crew come take a look to determine the best solution, which was to install our TripleSafe Sump Pump System. This sump pump has three pumps total that fit in one durable liner and will effectively keep any water out of the basement. The first pump does most of this job, the second will run if more assistance is needed, the last pump is battery-operated for power failures. Aliyah was grateful to get a more efficient sump pump installed so she won't have to worry about her belongings getting soaked!
