Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Daisy made the right call when she notified Ayers after noticing her basement seemed to have a leak from the floor. Our crew at Ayers decided that installing WaterGuard and TripleSafe would ensure the basement's protection from such water leaks. 

WaterGuard is the perfect solution as it acts as a drainage system, catching any leakage from higher levels and is installed in the sub-floor of your basement to keep dirt/water away from your foundation. Concrete will be poured over top as well as regular flooring if desired. Next, the TripleSafe utilizes three sump pumps with battery backups in place to assure it protects from water leaks, even in power outages. 

Daisy is now worry-free from these pesky water leaks that were making her basement carpets wet!

Thom was dealing with water leaks in his basement after heavy rainfalls and decided enough was enough, he needed professional help. After calling Ayers we sent out a crew to examine the issue. It was decided installing our WaterGuard System would be the best solution.

WaterGuard is a sub-floor drainage system that is placed along the perimeter of your basement and prevents water or dirt from getting to your foundation. The water will instead flow to your drainage pipes and be directed to your sump pump system. Concrete is poured over top to conceal the drainage system and regular flooring can even be installed over this as well if desired.

Thom is happy to have the pesky water leaks taken care of with this new waterproofing system installation!

Milton was experiencing some serious trouble with water leaking from his wall that was soaking his precious belongings. Tired of worrying about the safety and protection of his home he called Ayers. We had a crew head over to his home for a free inspection. After this was completed our System Design Specialists concluded he could use our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, IceGuard, LawnScape Outlet, and FlexiSpan.

First with TripleSafe, this three pump system fits in one durable liner and does a stellar job of keeping water out of basements! The first pump will do most of this job, the second is there for backup, and the last pump is battery operated for power outages. We installed IceGuard to his exterior discharge lines as the slotted openings will eject water, protecting them from harsh weather conditions so they won't freeze or clog. Then we added our LawnScape Outlet which is an underground extension to the drainage line that enables downspout water to escape. Lastly we installed FlexiSpan to address the actual wall crack. This is a crack repair system that consists of a two-layer sealant. This sealant both plugs the crack and creates a drainage route for any water leaks. Underneath the white panel, polyurethane was used to seal the seam and any water that pushes its way through this sealant will flow down the wall into a drainage well at the foot of the wall.

With these long-lasting, durable waterproofing solutions in action Milton is no longer stressing about water leaks damaging his home!

This home was built back in the late 1970s, but for the first time, the owners recently discovered that water had been coming into the basement. Not only was water coming into the basement, it was also causing mold and mildew for the basement. They found a large crack in the poured concrete next to the support beam and spanned from the floor to ceiling. In the after photo, you can see the FlexiSpan solution. FlexiSpan is a two-layer polymer solution that both plugs the leaks and directs any seepage to the drain well down below. The FlexiSpan is the perfect thing to keep water out of this basement permanently. 

When water gathered in the yard outside after a rain or snow melt, it had a way of eventually leaking through this crack. Water would run down the wall and puddle on the floor. Fortunately, this is an easy fix; although not quite so easy that you can just paint over it or inject a basic sealant from the local hardware store. These fixes are only temporary. The permanent fix is FlexiSpan. We dig out a drywell at the base of the crack a few gallons deep, fill it with crushed stone, and replace the concrete. This gives the water somewhere to flow and work back into the soil. We then inject the crack with sealant as a first defense. The crack then gets a foam layer over top followed by a section of our BrightWall paneling. Water that flows through the crack can flow down through the foam layer and into the drywell without it ever being seen or noticed. No more puddles and no more worries.
