Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This East Lansing homeowner has about an inch of standing water in the basement.He had a drain system that was old and not working properly so it would flood during rain. We installed the TripleSafe sump pump system for him. This sump pump provides 3 levels of protection in case of pump malfunction or a power outage. We also installed the IceGuard Discharge Line System. In the winter, water in the discharge line can freeze which causes back ups that could lead to flooding. With the IceGuard, the water has a secondary escape route through the slotted openings in the drain pipe. This ensures that any water your sump pump is removing from your basement is safely cleared away outside your home, preventing any backed up or frozen lines.

This company had some water issues in the basement where water was coming up from cracks in the floor as well as some areas where the wall and floor meet. There was enough water to create a river flowing across the floor to the drain. The owner bought the property about a year ago so they were unsure how long there had been a water issue and they wanted it fixed while they were renovating. We installed the WaterGuard French Drain system to collect the water and send it to the sump pump to be expelled outside. We then installed the TripleSafe Sump Pump, which provides the business with three levels of protection in case of a pump malfunction or a power outage. 

In April, Shirley and her husband noticed a wet carpet smell in their finished basement and just recently discovered that there is water intrusions where the floor and wall met. They have some family coming into town and want them to stay at their home but that is not likely with the water issues. We used the WaterGuard drain system to collect water and send it to the sump pump. It gets installed under the floor but all concrete is restored afterwards. We also installed the DoubleSafe sump pump to pump the water outside of the home. Last thing we used to keep the space dry and clean was the SaniDry XP. This upright dehumidifier has a powerful motor to blow dry air through the space and dry it out. It also filters air for dust, mold, and other particles.

Anne and her husband had some water issues in their basement. The water was coming in all around the edges of the basement and they did not have a sump pump to keep the water out so it would collect on the floor. Since they travel a decent amount, they want to have peace of mind that the home will be protected and safe from flooding. We installed the WaterGuard drain to collect the water that seeps into the basement and send it to the sump pump to be discharged outside. To make sure the home was safe we installed 2 sump pumps on either side of the space. The SuperSump Plus is designed to keep the basement dry for extended periods of time and has a back up battery to make sure that the home is dry even if the home loses power. 

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!
