Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This customer first called us years ago in need of a sump pump. They decided to go with another company at that time, but we heard from them again a few months ago. They didn't like the sump pump the other company had installed and were concerned that it wasn't working, putting their finished basement in danger.

We installed a TripleSafe sump pump to ensure that any incoming water would quickly be discharged, and upgraded the electrical panel so that the pump didn't interfere with the rest of the house.

The block wall in the before photo had been leaking into the home quite a bit. The space between the blocks created easy access for groundwater to break through. You can even see where the water had stained the wall on its way down. Our fix in the after photo is the BrightWall system. The white panels of BrightWall are a moisture barrier system that keeps water out of view in the basement. As water leaks in through the block wall, it will be escorted down the wall and into a drainage system that sits in the foot and wall joint. The perimeter drainage system WaterGuard sits under the footing of the ground and will carry the water out to be discharged. As a system, BrightWall will solve the leaking problems that this basement has been dealing with for a long time.

This Mason, MI home had cut stone foundation walls which were constantly leaking water into the basement. Frustrated, the homeowners contacted Ayers fora waterproofing solution to their problem. We visited the home and got right to work installing WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement. This subfloor drainage system sits on top of the footing, and collects any water that might enter through the walls. The water is then rerouted from WaterGuard to the sump pump where it’s then pumped out of the basement and away from the nome. Now these Mason residents can have peace of mind knowing that WaterGuard has got their leaky walls handled.

The homeowners in Mason, MI had a dirt crawl space. The dirt crawl space made it so the area was extremely wet and humid. This humidity made the homeowners spend more money on their energy bills since the air from the crawl space was traveling up into the home. The homeowners knew they need to get their crawl space fixed so they called Ayers Basement Systems!

The SuperSump is a full featured sump pump containing the best components available. It includes the SuperLiner, which is an airtight lid that looks more attractive, keeps pests out and eliminates safety hazard of an open sump pump.

It has a CleanPump pump stand that elevates the sump pump to prevent clogging.  It has a check valve to prevent pumped water from re-entering.  Lastly, it has an improved float valve to ensure long term performance.
