Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: A Persistent Flood Finality Stops Rosebush, MI

Lucille had been dealing with water in her home for over 30 years before having enough. Needing to find a terminate solution to her flooding problem, she contacted Ayers to help solve the problem. Our foreman Bruce was able to listen to Lucille's concerns and inspect the area. Bruce found that the home's drainage system was not able to handle the home's higher water yield. To fix the home's basement Bruce and his team updated the sump pump. Bruce also installed an underground channel system and a protective lining to help manage water flow.

TripleSafe

The home's sump pump was not strong enough to handle the amount of water the home was vulnerable to or the size of the home. To combat this Bruce installed an Ayers trusted model sump pump known as TripleSafe. TripleSafe is a trusted sump pump at Ayers due to its three levels of security. The first level is a powerful motor that has a high water capacity. The second level of security is a reserve motor that activates if the water surpasses a certain level on the initial motor. The third level of security is a backup battery that only activates if the home losses power.

WaterGuard

The home's location makes it very susceptible to high amounts of water. Stopping it at its source would require extensive groundwork so Bruce and his team installed a WaterGaurd drainage system under the basement floor. WaterGuard is a system of draining channels that are connected to the home's sump pump. The channels are installed under the foundational floor and covered with poured concrete, making it invisible to the naked eye. The channels lead to an outlet pipe that takes the water far away from the home's foundation, depositing the water in a safe location. 

CleanSpace

The amount of water in the home and how long it has been a problem was a concern for Bruce. To provide an extra level of precaution he added a CleanSpace lining to the home to help repel water. CleanSpace is an antimicrobial lining that is placed on every flat surface of a home's crawl space. CleanSpace provides a protective barrier between the home's vulnerable material and any possible moisture inside the home. Moisture in the home is a danger because it can invite microorganisms that consume organic material like wood (wood found in the support works of a home). If too much wood is degraded then the home's support is compromised and a major risk factor.
