Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Eric's house is a block foundation with poured floors. Originally the basement's only way to drain water was a floor drain; however, Eric mentioned it failed to do the job. Not to mention, after a recent storm, he vacuumed 230 gallons of water out of the basement. After receiving a recommendation for Ayers, Eric decided to reach out and find a solution. 

After calling, an Ayers System Design Specialist came to his home. Once the house was analyzed, the team at Ayers believed the TripleSafe Sump Pump was the best solution. The TripleSafe Sump Pump utilized three different pumps (all in one liner). The first pump, the lowest pump in the liner, acts as the primary pump and usually does all the work. If the first pump malfunctions or can't keep up, the second pump will turn on and begin pumping water. If a power failure occurs, the third pump, connected to an external battery, will turn on and start pumping. 

Eric will no longer need to worry about water entering his basement and becoming an issue!

Following the previous storm, Anna noticed standing water in her basement. She knew her old sump pump had failed and now was the time to replace it, so she called Ayers for help. We sent our professionals to her home to evaluate the situation and they recommended installing TripleSafe. Pump failure is common, and TripleSafe aims to prevent it with a three-in-one, backup sump pump system. TripleSafe includes a primary, a backup and a battery-powered pump in case of outages. Anna is glad she got the issue fixed quickly!

With soil and air temperatures rapidly changing, and a major influx of water from rain and thawing, spring is a huge time for wall cracks to appear, like they did in Sarah's East Lansing basement.

We used FlexiSpan to seal the wall cracks in her basement wall so they still have the freedom to shift with the ever changing soil but will remain sealed.

Mark D's basement floor tiles was unsightly and cold. We installed our Thermal Elite Plank Flooring that mimjics hardwood flooring but they are waterproof!  

Remodeling your basement can be a great way to transform a dark, gloomy space into an area you might actually want to so spend some time in. However, if your basement isn’t a stranger to water, it’s necessary that the products you install on your walls and floors can hold up if they come in contact with water in the future.

These wise homeowners chose to upgrade their wood paneling to ZenWall paneling, which have a thick, encapsulated fiberglass core and a vapor barrier ton the back side which stops water vapor from coming in through the walls. The floors were then covered with ThermalDry, the only inorganic subflooring in the wolrd. The tiles sit on pegs, so water won't get trapped in the flooring, and in the case that there is a leak, it’s easy to dry the water under the tile without removing all of the flooring. ZenWall panels coupled with Thermal Dry make this basement bright, clean and dry.
