Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Patrick had water was coming into his finished basement but never had water issues previously. He put a shop vac in the corner where the water was comign in & it was pulling out about 20 gal of water/day. He needed a fix fast and one that would leave his basement dry. We installed the WaterGuard system for a waterproof solution and piece of mind. The WaterGuard is a French drain system that is installed below the floor but above the foundation so that it won't clog. This system collects water that seeps into the basement and drains it to the sump pump.

This family has been in this home for years and just recently noticed water issues in the finished basement. Patrick had to rip out drywall and suck up water with a shop vac that was collecting about 20 gallons of water each day. They knew they needed a solution fast so they called us. We installed the WaerGuard which consists of a French drain that works with your sump pump to keep your space dry. The drain is installed under the floor but above the foundation to keep it from clogging. The drain collects the water that is leaking into the basement and sends it to the sump pump to be discharged outside of the home.

These new homeowners quickly discovered mold and moisture near their egress window, caused by a cracked retaining wall and poor drainage. To solve the issue, we installed a durable RockWell Egress Window Cover with a tan lid designed to match seamlessly. This solution protects the area from water intrusion, enhances safety, and keeps their basement bright and welcoming. Their egress window is now secure, stylish, and ready for years of use.

In order to get fully waterproofed, this home in Grant, MI needed our WaterGuard installed. WaterGuard is a french drain system that sits below the floor slab and rests on top of the foundation footing. What this does is keep the drainage system out of the dreaded "mud zone", where drains are susceptable to clogging.

As you can see, WaterGuard is installed around the perimeter of the basement to fully maximize its effectiveness. It's also installed with minimal invasion to the slab, and once the project is complete, new concrete is layed over the drain, making it practically invisible to you or any guests in your home. The WaterGuard also has a drain outlet directly to the sump pump and will not cause any damage to the foundation.

It's extremely important for every homeowner to have a proper drainage system in their basement, especially around this area with all of the rain and snow that we get. Thanks to WaterGuard, this Grant, MI home now has a clog-free drainage system that will help keep their basement dry all year round.

Karen had a small area in the basement where water accumulated on the floor below the walls. She trusted Ayers to recommend the best waterproofing systems to resolve this frustrating issue. We decided first to install our WaterGuard system to give the water seeping through the walls a place to be collected and rerouted to the sump pump. WaterGuard gets placed within the basement floor around the walls, and our crew covers the drain with fresh concrete. Additionally, we installed our TripleSafe sump pump system in the problem corner as well. The three-pump solution fits in one durable plastic liner, and each pump can keep up with heavy volumes of water. Karen is glad water pools don't exist in her basement anymore!
