Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Alexander worried the water draining into his crawl space would cause damage to the structure of his home, so he gave Ayers a call. Our experts inspected the issue and recommended WaterGuard as the best solution. WaterGuard is a drainage pipe system engineered to reduce clogs and placed on top of rather than alongside the footing, unlike other drainage pipes. Alexander is overjoyed to have a dry crawl space!

This lakefront cottage's Michigan basement had foundation issues, including water infiltration in one corner, likely due to the artesian well constantly flowing. The basement also had a sagging floor that required additional support, particularly in areas with pipes and structural stress. To fix these issues, Ayers reinforced the basement with rebar and other structural supports to handle water leakage and improve the foundation. A supplemental beam and SmartJacks were added to lift and stabilize the sagging floor. The water issues, possibly from the well and leaking pipes, were addressed by improving drainage and sealing the affected areas, ensuring the space stays dry and the foundation is secure.

Scott noticed his old sump pump wasn't efficiently removing water from his basement, and some had begun leaking onto the floor. He wasn't sure how to fix the problem, so he researched his options and called Ayers to learn about our waterproofing solutions. We sent a team of professionals to examine the space and recommend a solution. They suggested installing the TripleSafe sump pump designed to prevent accidents from pump failure by including three pumps. The first is the primary, followed by a backup, and finally, a battery-powered backup in case of power outages. Scott is happy with his dry basement!

Dave realized water leaked into his basement after the last snowstorm around the seams of the floor and walls. He wasn't sure how to fix the issue, so he researched his options and called Ayers for help. Our specialists stopped by his home to assess the problem and suggest a solution. They recommended and installed WaterGuard, an advanced drainage pipe system designed to prevent clogging by sitting above the home's footing rather than alongside it. Dave loves his dry basement!

One of our crews at Ayers inspected Sheila's North Adams, Michigan, home to decipher the best solution for water intrusion. We determined our WaterGuard system would be the best option to keep water outside the home. WaterGuard, a specially designed interior drainage system, collects water leaks and directs them to a sump pump. We installed this piping along the perimeter of the basement on top of the foundation's footing. As water leaks through the walls and falls to the floor, WaterGuard collects it within the subfloor drain, preventing water damage. Pouring concrete over the system conceals it within the basement floor. Sheila is grateful to receive the professional help her basement desperately requires!
