Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

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 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!

These Albion homeowners have had this home for about 3 weeks and have noticed there is water in one of the rooms in the basement. The partially finished basement has even had some standing water in the room where the water is leaking in. To waterproof the home we used the WaterGuard Below Floor Drain and the TripleSafe Sump Pump System. The WaterGuard collects the water that seeps in through the foundation and sends it to the sump pump. The TripleSafe provides three levels of protection in case of a power outage and gives the homeowners a peace of mind.

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.  

Maria and Jarrod had issues with their basement as water was leaking in. They contacted us at Ayers Basement Systems, and an inspection was set up and conducted. The team found leaks in the foundation, and various products were suggested. One of which was the IceGuard system for discharge lines. Pipes freeze in Michigan during the cold months; if a line freezes, it can cause detrimental issues for the home. Luckily, the IceGuard fitting allows water to flow out if the pipes freeze!
