Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Rodney's home was in the process of being built and as part of that process, he was hoping to get a waterproofing system to keep his home dry. He trusted Ayers to do the job right, so he gave us a call. We set up a time for a free inspection and from there, our crew determined our WaterGuard System combined with our TrenchDrain would work great. The WaterGuard System is a subfloor drainage system that will collect water seeping in and direct the leaks to the sump pump. This is placed along the perimeter of the basement and on top of the footing of the foundation to prevent any clogging issues. Then we installed our TrenchDrain which is perfect for doorway entrances where water leaks arise. This product consists of a grated opening on top of a basement drainage pipe installed in the subfloor. Any water that passes over the system will fall through the grated openings and be directed to the sump pump. Rodney was satisfied with these waterproofing systems that keep his new home well-protected!

Robert's concerns grew when the water damage in his basement appeared more noticeable. He called Ayers for our years of experience in waterproofing solutions. Our system design specialists inspected the water intrusion and determined our WaterGuard system would resolve these issues. This interior draiange system rests in the subfloor of the basement below the wall. This placement ensures water that seeps through is collected and directed to the sump pump rather than the floor. We pour concrete over the drain to conceal it. Robert is grateful for his permanent solution!

The homeowners had water coming into their basement through the floors. The water was getting so bad that it started pooling on the floor and damaging it. 

Our professional team decided that the existing sump pump was not enough. They installed the TripleSafe sump pump to combat the water. The TripleSafe has three sump pumps in one so you have triple protection! The first pump will remove water from your home effectively. The second pump has a seperate discharge line and is more powerful. The second pump is there for you in the rare ocassions that you need it. The third pump is equipped with batteries and is there for you if the power goes out.

The Cruz family used their basement extensively to do laundry, watch sports and as a playroom. Their broken tile floor in the basement was not just an eyesore, but constantly allowed water in. The family decided to not just replace their floor with waterproofed elite plank in dark mocha. Our flooring is inorganic and waterproof, which means no more mold. 

Gabriella and Josh got their Dearborn, MI crawl space encapsulated by another company years ago. The previous company did not properly complete the job, they just laid down a sheet of plastic. She is a repeat customer of Ayers, so called us back to fix the job. Our crew came out for an inspection and determined that the couple would need drainage matting with CleanSpace would be the perfect solution for them. 

Drainage matting is a liner for the crawl space that is placed underneath the CleanSpace plastic liner. If the crawlspace ever floods, the dimpled mat allows water to pass underneath to the drain and sump pump. CleanSpace is a moisture barrier that uses a thick plastic liner along basement and crawl space walls to keep them dry and last decades longer. It also has antibacterial properties that prevent mold and bacteria growth.  Damp air takes more energy to heat and cool. Cutting down on the moisture in the crawl space, in turn, will cut down on how much it costs to heat or cool the home. 

Gabriella and Josh were thrilled that Ayers could come in and get the job done properly. They never have to worry about water, dirt, or animals coming into the crawl space ever again.
