Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: A New Home Owner Catches Future Problems Okemos, MI

Mike recently purchased a home and wanted to have the basement inspected, knowing there were already issues with the sump pump. He contacted Ayers and allowed our resident foreman Bruce inspect the area. Bruce found that the home's drainage system was in need of improvements that Mike agreed upon. Bruce replaced the sump pump with an Ayers trusted model, a new drainage system to help the pump, and a modification to help the water flow during the winter. Finally, he added an egress window to allow more light into the home. sacrificing heat

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

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. 

IceGuard

IceGuard is a modification that attaches to the pipes of the home's sump pump. Without the mod ice can build up when the pump pushes water through the system, risking buildups and ruptures. IceGuard is a simple attachment that requires no energy to function year-round.

Egress

The new Egress Window was a much-needed improvement from what they had previously. Egress Windows are important to allow natural light into the basement and provide a much cleaner appearance in any basement. Ayers Egress windows are installed with an outdoor base that prevents it from flooding and allows light in while keeping A/C in.
