Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This wall crack had been plaguing this basement for some time now. When it rained, water flowed through the crack and onto the basement floor. The homeowner wondered if there was anything we could do. There was. We had a simple, attractive, and economical solution. It's called FlexiSpan. We put a sealant on the crack. This is just a primary solution but its not permanent so we go a few steps further to make sure the crack never bothers the homeowner again. Next we removed some of the concrete at the base of the crack and dug out a drywell, about 3-5 gallons in size and filled that with stone. The concrete was replaced with the exception of a small gap along the wall so water could run into the drywell that we created beneath the concrete. In cases like this with a nearby sump pump, we may also create hole in the side of the sump well to allow the water to flow into the well and be removed from the home. Finally a thin foam layer and a strip of our durable CleanSpace material is put over the crack to conceal it. The foam allows for an easy flow of water down the wall and into the well. The problem is out of sight and out of mind and it will never puddle on the floor again.

Linda gave Ayers a call when she decided to take action to protect her home from any water leaks. Our Ayers Design System Specialist let her know our WaterGuard System would be a great option to protect her belongings in the basement.

The WaterGuard System catches any leakages from higher levels with its drainage system that runs along the perimeter of your basement. It therefore keeps water and dirt away from your foundation and will have concrete poured over top to conceal it. You can add regular flooring over the concrete as well for a finished look.

Linda is relieved to have her basement waterproofed by Ayers!

Trever and Shannon were looking to have their smaller basement windows replaced with large ones. She called up Ayers and our crew decided they would love our Egress Windows.

Egress Windows are larger and therefore make your basement space more open. The larger windows will let in more natural light and circulate fresh air in your basement. These windows are installed with a well that have a step in it to provide a safe exit option in the event of an emergency. 

Trever and Shannon were happy with the difference these larger windows made as their basement is now more inviting!

Michael recently noticed his old sump pump had failed, and water was pooling on his basement floor. He couldn't fix the issue himself, so he researched his options and called Ayers for help. We sent a team of experts to his home to evaluate the situation and recommend a solution. They recommended replacing the old pump with TripleSafe, a sump pump designed to prevent failure by including two backup pumps, one of which is battery-powered in case of outages. Michael can't believe how great his new system is!

During heavy rains Brett and Sandy’s basement would flood. In order to  waterproof their basement our team installed the WaterGuard system along with TripleSafe and IceGuard.  These three items each play a large role in keeping basements dry. Catching any leakage from higher walls and floors, the WaterGuard system will prevent water from reaching the basement floor. TripleSafe is a sump pump system that is battery powered which will allow Brett and Sandy to not worry about their basement flooding during power outages. Lastly, the IceGuard Sump Pump Discharge Line System allows water to leave even when it is frozen. Installing these three pieces will keep their basement dry no matter what weather their house encounters.
