Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Waterproofing Systems Take Care of Water Leaks During Heavy Rains in Grand Rapids, MI Home

Mary was hoping to get some waterproofing measures installed to solve the water leaks she would experience in her basement along the walls after heavy rains. She also wanted to add a sump pump system. She knew Ayers specializes in basement waterproofing so she gave us a call and we set up an inspection time. After this inspection it was decided she would need our WaterGuard System, TripleSafe Sump Pump System, and IceGuard.

Mary's Basement Prior to Installations

This is an inside look at Mary's basement prior to our waterproofing installations. She had no sump pump present and water leaks through the wall after heavy rains so a new system was needed!

WaterGuard Installation Process

First we added our WaterGuard System which is a sub-floor drainage system that will collect this water leakage happening through the walls. It is installed around the perimeter of the basement and rests on top of the footing of the foundation. the water will be rerouted to the sump pump.

After WaterGuard Installation

Here is a look at our WaterGuard System after the installation. The system is concealed with concrete and if Mary is looking to finish her basement in the future, she will be able to install regular flooring over WaterGuard. The gray WaterGuard Port pictured here as well makes maintenance checks quick and easy.

TripleSafe Sump Pump System Saves the Day

Mary was in desperate need of an efficient sump pump system so we decided to go with TripleSafe which is a three pump system that fits in one durable liner. This will keep the water leaks under control so she won't have to worry about water damaging her belongings. The first pump will do most of this job but the second is there for backup. The last pump is battery-operated so it will turn on in power outages.

IceGuard for Added Protection

We also added IceGuard to her exterior discharge to protect them from cold or harsh weather. This is an antifreeze fitting with slotted openings that will eject water away from her foundation. Mary was happy to get a trustworthy, long-lasting waterproofing system installed to protect her home!
