Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Mike was on the hunt to replace his previous sump pump system that was not doing the trick anymore. He saw that Ayers had some great solutions for this stressful issue so he made the call. A free inspection was then conducted and our System Design Specialists determined that our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, IceGuard, and our LawnScape Outlet would work best for his situation.

The TripleSafe offers triple protection with its three pumps that fit in one durable liner that will help keep water out of Mike's basement. The first pump will do most of this work, while the second is there for the rare case that the first fails or needs backup, and the last pump is there in case his power goes out since it is battery-operated. We also installed IceGuard outside his home to protect his exterior discharge lines from harsh weather that could cause the lines to freeze or clog. Finally, we installed our LawnScape Outlet to the end of this exterior discharge line which will allow downspout water to escape.

Now that Mike has a sufficient waterproofing system, he doesn't have to stress about water damage in his home!

The homeowners had water puddling in their basement in Goshen, IN. They were trying to wipe it all up with towels, but that was not enough. 

Our professional team installed our WaterGuard long-lasting interior perimeter drainage system. The WaterGuard system sits on the top of the footing in your basement to prevent clogging. The system captures water seepage from the foor and walls into the drains. The system then directs the water to the sump pump and the sump pump then effectively removes the water from the home. The before picture shows the WaterGuard system installed in the basement and the after picture shows the finished product! The team puts a layer of concrete of the system to ensure that your basement is clean and dry! 

The homeowner is Goshen, IN had bad water damage on their walls in their basement from water seeping in through the cracks.

Our professional team saw these damaged walls and installed BrightWall paneling. BrightWall paneling easily transforms damp, ugly basement walls into clean, beautiful walls that never need paint or maintenance. BrightWall panels will direct wall seepage down to the perimeter drain lines that carry water to the sump pump effectively removing all water from the basement. BrightWalls are waterproof, stain resistant, effective moisture and vapor barriers and maintenance free!

Our customer just had something that is never fun...flooding.  Failure of his sump pump allowed water to come in through the walls, ruining the recently furnished basement.  Traditional sump pumps with only single or even double pumps have lots of issues when failure occurs.  Ayers recommended our customer to the TripleSafe.  The TripleSafe uses one energy efficient pump for most of the easy lifting, as well as a heavier duty pump to help out during heavy raining.  Even in the event of a power outage, the third battery powered pump will allow for ease of mind as water is kept out of your home and your family stays safe!  The TripleSafe is our most recommended sump pump system as it has kept homes dry and safe even in the worst conditions.

The homeowners in Albion, MI had a vertical crack on one of their basement walls going from ceiling to floor. When it rained, water would leak through the crack, get into their basement, and puddle on the floor. Foundation wall cracks can be a sign of structural issues so it is best to get the crack repaired right when you notice it is there to prevent serious, more costly damage. 

To fix this vertical wall crack, our professional team installed FlexiSpan. FlexiSpan is a three part process beginning with flexible sealant being applied along the length of the crack. The second step is to put a a strip of flexible and porous foam over the crack. Lastly, an impermeable membrane is adhered to the wall on both sides of the foam strip. FlexiSpan invisibly moves water seepage from the crack down the wall and into the basements perimeter drainage system. The FlexiSpan system is not affected by slight movements in the basement wall meaning it works under all conditions. 

In the before picture you can see the vertical cracking on the basement wall and in the after picture you can see the FlexiSpan installed over the crack and fixing the wall.
