Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A homeowner called Ayers with an issue with a window well that was filling up with water and leaking into the basement. One of our professional System Design Specialists evaluated the issue and came up with a solution.

After consulting with our Specialist, the homeowner decided to install a new egress window to replace the prior window. Our egress windows are constructed to withstand any storm, preventing any more leaks from entering into this home.

Joe and Brittany had an unfinished basement that they wanted to finish. Upstairs was getting crowded so they needed to add some rooms downstairs but to do that, they knew they would need an Egress window. Egress windows allow for a safe exit in case of emergencies. The large windows also allow for more fresh air and natural light to enter the space making it seem larger!

Christine was hoping to get a nice Egress Window installed for her basement that she was in the process of finishing. She realized Ayers sells Egress Windows so she decided to call. We had one of our crews come out to her home and begin the installation after she set the appointment with us!

Our Egress Windows are great for finishing basements because they are larger which opens up the space more. Many places legally require Egress Windows as well since they include a quick, safe exit option for emergency situations. If someone is going to be living down there, they probably don't want that dark, dungeon feel most basements have. This window will make the basement more inviting as more natural light and fresh air will fill the space. Not to mention they will add value to your home for the future and are waterproof. 

With the benefits of the Egress Window being plentiful, Christine is happy with the final result!

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 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.
