Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

We received a call from a homeowner in Lakeview who had problems with wet basement walls. She didn't know what to do so she gave us a call. We drove to her house and installed WaterGuard. WaterGuard is a pipe that runs water underneath the floors. This system runs on top of the footing instead of alongside it. The WaterGuard has a big drain outlet to the sump. It also has a built in tiny gap between the floor and the wall so that it can drain any wall leaks. This system is designed not to clog by having holes in case of debris clogging the pipe. The WaterGuard collects the water from drains in the basement.

Laura knew moisture in your crawl space can lead to severe damage, but wasn't sure how to fix it. She eventually called Ayers and asked about waterproofing solutions for her crawl space. Upon examination, our experts decided to install CleanSpace. This is an antimicrobial vapor barrier that's durable and resilient. The material forms an uninterrupted barrier to keep moisture out. Laura is glad she caught the problem early before it got any worse!

Rob called our team because he was looking for a sump pump system, so our team installed TripleSafe. TripleSafe is a sump pump system that’s main goal is to keep your basement dry. This system provides the ultimate protection because it has three pumps in order to handle your highest pumping demands. In addition, one of the pumps is battery powered so that the system will continue running even during power outages.

Rob called our team because he wanted to prevent his basement from flooding even during the cold Michigan winters. So our team installed the IceGuard Sump Pump Discharge Line System. This system allows water to leave even when the discharge line is frozen. Therefore, this system prevents flooding even in freezing temperatures or when the snow is piled up high. Lastly, this system is totally automatic so Rob won’t have to worry about when he should turn it on or off. 

Jami realized her basement lacked a reliable escape route and wanted to install a larger window. She wasn't sure how to fix it herself, so she researched her options and called Ayers for help. Our experts visited her home and recommended installing an egress window to provide easy escapes during emergencies. Egress windows hold back soil and water while preventing surface falls, with a polycarbonate safety cover. The cover is also built to be stepped on without collapsing, to increase safety. Jami feels safe in her basement now!
