Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

The homeowners in Vicksburg, MI had a basement that was so badly flooded that their old sump pump had to be turned off because it could not work fast enough or efficiently enough to remove the water from the home. The water was so bad it some areas of the homeowners basement that it came up to their ankles. 

Our professional team knew they needed to get the sump pump situation under control. They decided to replace the homeowners old sump pump with our TripleSafe sump pump. The TripleSafe is three sump pumps in one giving you triple protection. The first pump will remove water from the home efficiently and effectively. The second pump has a seperate discharge line and is more powerful. The second pump is there for you on the rare ocassions that you need it. The Third pump is equipped with batteries and is there for you if the power goes out.

Having a powerful TripleSafe sump pump in your basement during a flood could mean the difference between a dry floor and a 6 inches of water! Most basements are fitted with the pump on the left which can easily be overwhelmed by an sudden influx of water. Our TripleSafe sump pump provides three levels of protection for your basement: if the first pump is overwhelmed by water, the second pump switches on. If the power goes out, the battery-operated third pump kicks in. The TripleSafe also has a secure lid that keep out any objects that may impede its functioning.

A Vickburg resident called Ayers to clean and seal their wet crawlspace. The Ayers team used CleanSpace Vapor Barrier to correct the issue. 

The basement windows in this Lapeer, MI home were outdated, poorly sealed, and not energy efficient. The old windows allowed drafts and moisture into the basement, contributing to discomfort and potential long-term damage. Additionally, the windows did not meet modern safety standards for egress. To fix it we had to replace the old basement window with a new 32x14 vinyl slider window. This new window enhances energy efficiency and seals out drafts while providing better insulation and improved security. The window was installed with a foam sealant around the edges to ensure a tight fit, further enhancing the barrier against external elements. The new installation also meets egress requirements, ensuring safety compliance in an emergency.

Tamara was looking into getting an Egress Window to bring the bedroom down in the basement up to code. She decided to call our Ayers professionals for the job. Our Egress Windows are very beneficial for finishing basements since they are larger which opens up the space more. Oftentimes basements feel like dark dungeons with minimal light coming in, so this will allow more natural light to shine through. These windows are waterproof and come with an exterior well. The main perk is that these windows are much safer since you can easily open and exit through them in the case of an emergency. Tamara has a much more attractive and legally finished basement now!
