Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This homeowner had some water issues in their particularly finished basement but where the water is coming in is not finished. Water bubbles up from the floor and water comes in where the floor meets the wall. We installed the WaterGuard system to keep the water out of the basement so that the family can finish it. The WaterGuard is a french drain that is under the floor to collect water and send it to the sump pump. We also installed the TripleSafe sump pump system to make sure that the water is expelled out of the house. The TripleSafe provides 3 levels of protection for the family in case of a power outage or one level stops working.

After the last rainfall, Gary noticed water leaking into his basement and running down the walls. He knew this was an issue he couldn't fix, so he called Ayers. Our team of specialists visited his home to evaluate and recommend a solution. Upon inspection, they decided WaterGuard, a drainage piping system, would be the best route. WaterGuard, unlike other drainage pipes, is placed on top of the footing rather than alongside it to prevent clogging. Gary loves having a dry basement!

One afternoon we received a call from Don, a home inspector and homeowner in Kalamazoo, MI. He began observing water seepage where the wall meets the floor. As a home inspector, Don knows what can happen when you don’t address issues of this nature. He smartly made the decision to address this water concern before it began developing into larger problems. We went to his home and diagnosed the issues he was facing in his basement; we then recommended installing WaterGuard to remedy the problem. WaterGuard was installed along the home's footing, beneath the concrete, the installment collects water along the base of the perimeter walls and safely directs it to the sump pump for discharge from his home. In addition, to supplement the WaterGuard, we installed the DoubleSafe sump pump system. DoubleSafe is a safeguard feature that includes the use of two pumps to ensure this basement will stay dry, even in severe weather events. In the case of heavy water or primary pump failure, the second and more powerful pump will kick in. With this complete system in place, Don should rest assured that his wet basement days are over.

Paul was worried about his basement walls as they had excess moisture dripping from them and no efficient sump pump system to deal with it, so he called Ayers. After our crew inspected his basement it was agreed that we would install our CleanSpace Wall System and SuperSump Plus to resolve these problems. First with the CleanSpace Wall System this is made of a durable, plastic liner with a vapor barrier that will prevent this moisture development on the walls. Then SuperSump Plus was added to take care of any water that does happen to drain down the wall as this is a horsepower pump capable of pumping 2200 gallons of water an hour.

Paul was grateful to have two efficient, trustworthy systems installed to keep his walls clean and dry!

When water seeped into the homeowner's unfinished basement, he ignored it—until heavy rain and melting snow reached his family’s cherished entertainment space. Realizing the risk, he called Ayers for help. Our inspection revealed that his cinderblock foundation was allowing water to infiltrate the basement. We installed a WaterGuard® drainage system, CleanSpace® encapsulation, TripleSafe™ sump pump, and extended discharge line to redirect water away. Now, CJ’s basement is dry, secure, and ready for his family to enjoy—just in time for the holidays.
