Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Renee’s crawlspace has always let water in. She has owned the home for 11 years and recently put it up for sale. She had a buyer but the sale fell through because of the state of the crawlspace, so she called Ayers for an inspection. Our crew determined that CleanSpace would be the perfect solution. 

CleanSpace Wall System is a moisture barrier that uses a thick plastic liner along basement and crawl space walls to keep them dry and last decades longer. It also has antibacterial properties that prevent mold and bacteria growth.  Damp air takes more energy to heat and cool. Cutting down on the moisture in the crawl space, in turn, will cut down on how much it costs to heat or cool the home.

Renee was ecstatic that water is finally staying out of the crawlspace. She was so happy with Ayers, she wants another quote for other services.

Jane was stressed over the water leaking into her home during heavy rainfalls and she knew she had to put an end to it. She gave Ayers a call when she was on the hunt for solutions and we sent a crew out for a free inspection. After taking a look, our System Design Specialists let Jane know it would be best to have our WaterGuard System, TripleSafe Sump Pump System, and our IceGuard System installed. 

First we installed the WaterGuard System which will collect water and dirt, keeping it away from your foundation. This sub-floor drainage system is installed around the perimeter of the basement. Concrete is poured over it to conceal the system. Then with TripleSafe, this is a three pump system that fits in one durable liner and will also help in getting the water out of your basement. The first pump will do most of the work and the second is there for backup. The last pump will turn on if there is a power outage. Finally, we added IceGuard to the exterior drainage lines to prevent any clogging or freezing during cold, harsh weather. The slotted openings in it will eject water in these situations.

After these waterproofing installations, Jane is no longer stressing about water intruding into her home!

David owns a commercial building, and the basement has a water intrusion issue. The water has come into the basement about four times in the past couple of years and covers about a quarter of the floor. Their drain system was not working, so they were sucking up the water with a shop vac. We used the WaterGuard Below Floor Drain to collect the water and send it to the sump pump to be discharged outside. We also installed a new sump pump to keep the water out. The TripleSafe provides three levels of protection from water, even in cases of a power outage or a pump malfunction. 

A wet basement is no beauty -- as seen in the picture of this basement in Olivet, MI. However, we have a solution: WaterGuard. The WaterGuard French drain system rests below the floor and on top of the foundation footing, collecting the water that drains through your basement walls. The water is then filtered into your sump pump. This is a great way to avoid a water issue in your basement.

These Mulliken homeowners have a very big water problem in their basement. The water even flows across the floor as well as along the wall. We installed the WaterGuard system to keep the water out of the basement. The drain is under the floor and collects the water that seeps in. The water is then drained to the new sump pump, the TripleSafe, that we installed. The TripleSafe offers three levels of protection to the homeowner. In cases of power outages or some levels malfunctioning, the sump will continue to work and keep the basement try.
