Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A sump pump is an important asset to your home in so many ways. First off it makes sure that any water that enters your basement gets pumped up and out without causing a mess. Second, it pumps it far enough way that you don't have to worry about that water getting right back into your basement. Today's sump pumps are made with incredible technology that can even alert you in the event it can't keep up and you need to take action. 

In this Jackson, MI home we installed our SuperSump sump pump. This sump comes with an airtight lid to prevent the water from evaporating right back into your basement. It also sits on a pump stand so you don't have to worry about mud or debris getting into the sump and causing it to clog up. There is even a pump alarm to alert you if the water level ever gets above the point where the pump normally turns on.

This Jackson home had water in the basement when it rained. The homeowner knew where the water had gotten in since water pooled in the same place every time it rained. We installed the WaterGuard which is a French drain system that goes around the perimeter of the basement. It is installed under the floor but above the foundation so it doesn't clog, it collects water that seeps into the space, and it sends the water out of the home. The concrete is restored after installation so you don't have to worry about an unsightly drain in your basement! 

Robert's Jackson, MI home was built in 1920 and was passed onto him and his brother when their father passed away. The brothers wish to sell the home, but knew there were some issues with the foundation and wanted to get maximum value for the home. They called Ayers for an inspection, and our crew discovered that several of the beams in the crawlspace that support the whole foundation were rotting and needed to be replaced. SmartJacks were the perfect solution for them. 

SmartJacks are steel supports that balance the foundation of the crawlspace, lifting it to its original position. They can be adjusted so the home will never shift out of place and are anchored into the ground with poured concrete. 

Robert and his brother were impressed with the level of professionalism by the Ayers crew and were more than satisfied with the installation provided. They feel better knowing they'll be able to sell the house easier and for a higher price. 

Dusty was sick of his basement windows and wanted to find out his options, so he called Ayers. Our team of experts went to his home and recommended an egress window. The egress window is designed for durability against heavy soil and water and to allow for a safe escape. The one-piece structure with steps for evacuation also employs a polycarbonate cover for safety. Dusty felt so much better having his beautiful new window!

Keith was looking into getting a dehumidifier for the church he works for in Whitmore Lake, MI. He decided to call Ayers for the job, so we sent a crew to the church to begin the installation. Our SaniDry XP Dehumidifier will clean and dry the air, making the services there much more enjoyable. This system will reduce the risk of mold growth as well. This dehumidifier will never need to be emptied and is even ten times more powerful than your average dehumidifier. The SaniDry XP Dehumidifier is designed to effectively perform in extremely damp environments and has the capability to take care of 109 pints of water a day. Keith was happy to receive a solution that would help keep the church clean and dry!
