Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Scott already had a sump pump, but it could not handle the amount of water entering his basement. Tired of dealing with his basement flooding, he called our team. We installed TripleSafe, a sump pump system. This system includes three pumps, so that it can handle your highest pumping demands. One pump is powered by batteries which prevents flooding even during power outages.

Carl's historic Ludington, MI home had a leak in the basement. Fortunately, the water was seeping into the sump pump crock, but the added moisture can cause major problems. His neighbor had waterproofing work done by Ayers two years ago, and the fact that the work is still holding up made him call us instead of another company. After an inspection, our crew determined Carl would need a new TripleSafe sump pump and the CleanSpace Wall System.

The TripleSafe sump pump system utilizes three pumps in order to remove excess water from the basement. The second and third pumps are in case of emergency, so the basement will remain dry even when the power goes out. CleanSpace Wall System is a moisture barrier that uses a thick plastic liner along basement walls to keep them dry and last decades longer. It also has antibacterial properties that prevent mold and bacteria growth. Damp air takes more energy to heat and cool. Cutting down on how much it costs to heat or cool the home. 

Carl was so appreciative of the work Ayers did to waterproof his unique and historical home. He can't wait to not have to worry about added moisture and leaks ever again in the basement. 

Leonard was looking to have his small basement window replaced with a larger one to open up his basement space more. He called Ayers to see what we could offer and our crew determined he would love our Egress Windows.

Egress Windows are larger windows which are perfect for basements as they allow more fresh air to circulate the space as well as more natural light. These windows also include a well with a step which provides a safe exit in the case of an emergency where a quick exit is needed. His basement will look much more inviting and complete now with these windows.

Leonard is satisfied with the new look these beautiful windows offer his basement!

The homeowners in Mio, MI ran into some trouble when a heavy rain flooded their walk-in basement. They could not figure out where the water was coming from and they had no sump pump.

Our professional team took action and installed a SuperSump sump pump into the homeowner's basement. The SuperSump sump pump is a full-featured system that includes the best components available. The SuperSump removes water from the basement into a drainage system that takes the water outside your home. It includes the SuperLiner, which is an airtight lid that looks more attractive, keeps pests out and eliminates safety hazards of an open sump pump. The product also has a floor drain in case an unforeseen accident puts water on your basement floor. It includes a WaterWatch Alarm, which alerts the homeowner if the water level rises above the sump pump intake.  The SuperSump also includes a check valve to prevent pumped water from re-entering the home. 

The SuperSump sump pump can now allow the homeowners to stop worrying about their basement flooding! 

Jon was experiencing bowing walls in his basement and it was clear to even the untrained eye. Jon knew the job required professional help so he contacted Ayers. Our foreman Evan was able to inspect the area and found no signs of water within the home. This meant he and his team could focus on stabilizing the wall.

The wall was showing clear cracks and with a glance, anyone could tell the wall had a curve to it. Evan and his team used a GeoLock anchor to correct the wall. A GeoLock anchor is installed by excavating the ground surrounding the compromised wall and installing a base that is secured into place with deep steel drives. On the opposite side, inside the home, a large metal plate is placed directly on top of the center of the cracking and secured to the wall with screws. The two pieces are bolted together and tightened till constant pressure is present. This pressure pulls the wall back into place and provides a permanent source of stabilization for the wall.
