Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Stopping 30 Years of Water Intrusion in Elwell, MI

Ayers Basement Systems received a call from Rich and Rebecca, who were seeking a solution for the flooding issue in their Elwell, Michigan home. For over two decades, they have been struggling with water intrusion, and with their retirement approaching, they were looking for a permanent fix. They wanted to spend four months of the year at their vacation home and not worry about their house flooding while they were away. After researching multiple companies, they decided to choose Ayers due to our expert team and exceptional reputation. Upon inspection, our crew recommended the installation of Waterguard and our SuperPump Plus to address their concerns. Rich and Rebecca were thrilled with the installation and the work our crew did on their basement. They feel safe and secure going to their vacation home knowing the house will not flood anytime soon. The couple was so impressed with the level of craftsmanship and professionalism displayed by everyone they interacted with, and can't wait to retire!

A Sump Pit

Rich and Rebecca have been struggling with water entering their home every Spring due to a faulty sump pump. Despite dealing with this issue for 30 years, they can no longer tolerate it now that they are retiring. It appears that the sump pump is nothing more than a hole in the ground that has failed to keep the water out.

WaterGuard Installation

WaterGuard is a subfloor waterproofing system that collects water that leaks through the walls and keeps dirt away from the foundation. It is installed along the perimeter of the basement and on top of the footing of the foundation. Concrete is poured on top and regular flooring can be placed on top.

Final SuperPump Installation

Our SuperPump Plus is an excellent solution for those who want to avoid an open sump pit. It effectively captures groundwater and can be connected to our WaterGuard system for drainage. Its airtight lid ensures debris is kept out and children or pets can't fall in, making it a safer option. The SuperPump Plus also has a built-in alarm to alert you if the water level rises too high. Made from durable cast iron, it provides high-volume pumping capabilities.
