Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Jon was searching for waterproofing solutions for his older home built in 1964. He wanted to make sure his home remains safe and protected from water leaks so he called Ayers. We had a crew come out to his home for a free inspection and it was decided he could use our WaterGuard System, SuperSump Plus, as well as our Window WellDuct Drain. 

First off, we had our crew install WaterGuard System which is a sub-floor drainage system installed around the perimeter of the basement and will collect water coming in through the walls. This water will then be directed to the sump pump and concrete is poured over the system to conceal it. Then we had our crew install SuperSump Plus which is a horsepower pump that has the ability to pump 2200 gallons of water an hour at an 8 foot head. The final installation was our Window WellDuct Drain which will help any water leaking from a basement window drain into the WaterGuard System. 

Jon was thrilled to get waterproofing systems installed that will protect his home for decades!

The homeowners in Grand Rapids, MI had water seeping into their basement through the floor. Because of the heavy rains they were experiencing, that seeping water was turning into standing water in the basement. The homeowners did have an existing sump pump, but so much water was coming into the basement that it could not handle it.  

Our professional team decided that a TripleSafe sump pump was the best option for these homeowners. The TripleSafe has three sump pumps in one giving you triple protection! Most sump pumps fail because of a broken pump, the pump can not handle the volume of water that is coming into the home, or power failure. TripleSafe sump pump assures protection from all three of these problems.

The first pump will remove the water from you home effectively. The second pump has a seperate discharge line and is more powerful. The second pump is there for you in the rare cases that you need it. Lastly, the third pump is equipped with batteries so it is there for you if the power goes out. 

Thanks to the TripleSafe sump pump the homeowners basement is now clean and dry.  

Shelly had some water coming into her partially finished basement where the wall and floor meet. She wanted her basement to be dry and keep her things safe. We used WaterGuard to collect the water that leaks into the basement and send to her sump pump. It is installed under the floor and all concrete is replaced afterwards so you do not have an ugly drain in the basement. It keeps the space dry and protects the home finishings!

Dan V. wasn't having any basement waterproofing issues but needed to replace an old basement window. Our field supervisor Ron N. designed a solution for Dan V. that included a code-compliant egress window with built-in steps to allow his family a safe exit from their basement room in case of an emergency.

While not pictured, we covered this window well with a safety cover designed to keep debris out while letting in beautiful, natural sunlight. These window well covers can also withstand rust, rot, rain, snow and UV rays. You can see the dramatic difference in the size of the window and the ability for a quick emergency exit.

Benjamin's basement was not looking too hot due to the water leaks he was dealing with so he called Ayers for waterproofing solutions. After we had a crew conduct a free inspection, a decision was made to install our WaterGuard System. Our WaterGuard solution is a sub-floor drainage system that collects water or dirt leaking in through the walls. It is installed along the perimeter of the basement on top of the footing of the foundation and then concealed with concrete. For a more finished look, Ben can have regular installed over this system if he desires as well!
