Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Michael and his family were frustrated with the musty smell coming from their crawlspace and wanted to create extra storage space. They called Ayers Basement Systems for help. After inspecting the space, Ayers recommended encapsulating the crawlspace. They used a durable vapor barrier, drainage matting, foam insulation, and specialized fasteners and tape to complete the job. With these upgrades, the musty smell is gone, and the crawlspace is now clean and usable.

The homeowners had water coming into their basement and they were not sure how or where it was coming from. Something like this has never happened so they needed to get the water out right away. 

Our professional team installed a sump pump for the owner, but knew they needed something else to ensure that the home would not get water in it anymore. For added protection the team installed the IceGuard anti freeze system. The IceGuard system attaches to the sump pump discharge line on the outside of the home. The system works by allowing the water to escape even if the pipe freezes or gets blocked for any reason.  Even if the pipe outlet is buried under a foot of ice and snow, the water can escape, allowing your sump pump to keep your basement dry. When the discharge pipe thaws, the water will automatically run along its normal route, and no water will escape from the IceGuard. 

The homeowners in Portage, MI had two inches of water in their basement. They were not sure where the water was coming from or how it was getting into their home, but they needed a solution quick! 

Our team installed the TripleSafe sump pump. The TripleSafe is a perfect solution because it is three sump pumps in one, giving you triple protection!

The first sump pump will remove water effectively. The second pump has a separate discharge line and is more powerful. The second pump is there for you on the rare occasions that your first pump fails. The third pump is equipped with batteries so it is there for you if the power goes out! The pump will switch automatically if needed so the homeowners do not need to worry! 

The before picture shows the damage the water has done to the basement floor and the after photo shows the TripleSafe sump pump! 

The homeowner had water pouring into their basement. The did not know where the water was coming from, but they knew something needed to be done. 

Our professional team installed the WaterGuard long lasting interior perimeter drainage system. The system sits on the top of the footing in order to prevent clogging from mud or debris. WaterGuard traps floor and wall seepage in its drain and sends it directly to the sump pump. Once the sump pump gets the water it removes it from the home. 

The before picture shoes the damage that the water coming into the home has caused and the after picture shows the end result of WaterGuard installation. The system is covered with a layer of concrete so the basement looks nice and clean.
