Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This apartment complex had a problem with water seepage in two of the lower apartments. The soil outside of the wall had sunk about one foot, which left the covering on the exterior wall exposed. In order to seal off the wall and prevent water from continuing to damage the property, we installed the SentrySeal system. We first excavated a small section of soil outside of the wall to make room for the sealant. Insulation was then placed over the wall and the specialized sealant was installed to seal off any cracks or openings from the outside to prevent water from seeping in. Once we were finished, the soil was backfilled and water would no longer cause any issues for the complex.

Jeff was tired of handling this frustrating water intrusion issue that was ongoing in his basement so he called Ayers. After an inspection was conducted it was recommended by our System Design Specialists that he could use our WaterGuard System and TripleSafe Sump Pump System. WaterGuard is a sub-floor drainage system placed along the basement's perimeter and works to catch any water seeping in through the walls. TripleSafe is a three pump system that fits in one trusty liner that will pump the water out and keep the water off his belongings. He was glad to get this water intrusion handled before matters got worse!

Faced with persistent flooding in his 1950s East Lansing church, Farid sought a permanent solution to protect the building from water damage. Ayers Basement Systems installed an exterior crock, grate lids, and a straight discharge line with a bubbler pot to manage excess water efficiently. With careful planning and execution, the church is now dry and secure, allowing the congregation to worship without worry.

Aaron, a homeowner in East Lansing, MI, needed professional basement waterproofing to address moisture seeping through the egress window and walls, threatening his plans for an entertainment space. He wanted a dry, secure basement ready for finishing. Ayers Basement Systems provided the perfect solution, installing WaterGuard®, TripleSafe™, and the CleanSpace® Wall System to prevent water intrusion and improve air quality. Aaron was thrilled with the crew’s expertise and the long-term protection, knowing his basement is now protected and ready to become the entertainment hub he envisioned.

The homeowners had a little bit of water coming into their basement through the crack where the floor and the wall meet. It was not a ton of water, but they decided to get it checked and fixed anyway. The homeowners decision to waterproof their basement at the first sign of the water getting into their home only saved them time and money in the end. The problem won't resolve itself, it will only get worse so it is best to solve the problem right when it starts to happen. 

Our team also installed the SuperSump sump pump system. The SuperSump is a full featured system containing all the best components available. It includes the SuperLiner, which is an airtight lid that looks more attractive, keeps pests out and eliminates safety hazard of an open sump pump. It has a floor drain in case an unforeseen accident puts water on your basement floor. It includes a WaterWatch Alarm, which alerts you if the water level rises above the sump pump intake. It has a cast-iron pump to prevent overheating and burnout. It has a CleanPump pump stand that elevates the sump pump to prevent clogging.  It has a check valve to prevent pumped water from re-entering.  Lastly, it has an improved float valve to ensure long term performance.
