Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Eric and his wife get water in their basement 2-3 times a year during heavy rain. They want to eventually finish their basement but they need it to be dry to do that. There was a waterproofing system in place already but it was not doing it's job so they needed a different solution.

We installed the WaterGuard drain which goes below the floor to collect the water that comes into the basement and drain it to the sump pump. The TripleSafe sump pump provides three levels of protection and peace of mind even in cases of power outages or a pump malfunction. The BrightWall creates a clean looking space and also acts as a vapor barrier for the basement to protect against mold. 

Mark called Ayers after having dealt with pesky water leaks in his basement for a while. After having a professional eye take a look, it was determined that Ayers WaterGuard, TripleSafe Sump Pump System, and our SaniDry XP Dehumidifier would be the best solution for him.

WaterGuard is a below-floor drainage system that keeps water and dirt away from your foundation. It runs along the perimeter of your basement and concrete is poured over top to conceal the drain. You can also install regular flooring over top to get the finished look, if you desire. The TripleSafe has three sump pumps that work to keep water out of your basement. The first pump gets most of the water out on its own but the second is there for backup or in case more help is needed. The last pump is battery-operated, meaning it will turn on during power outages. Lastly, with the SaniDry XP Dehumidifier, this system will ensure the air remains clean and dry as it removes ten times the water from the air than a regular dehumidifier.

Mark was thrilled to have these water issues resolved with these waterproofing systems in place!

 John and Patty noticed different signs forming in their home, pointing towards a problematic foundation. The couple called Ayers to find a solution before things got worse. After an inspection of their home, the Ayers team believed that GeoLock Wall Anchors would be perfect for the job. GeoLock Wall Anchors create a pulling pressure on the wall that will bring it back to its original position and permanently stabilize it. The system will stop the foundation from bowing and provide a permanent solution! With these anchors installed, John and Patty's foundation will no longer cause them problems!

Discharge lines from your sump pump are inevitable, you have to have them to get water out of your basement. BUT...what if we told you we can bury them. We know how big of a pain they are to mow around or having to worry about people tripping over them and they aren't the most appealing landscape. Once the system is installed and we have all these discharge lines running through the yard to make sure the water is getting far enough away from your house we will bury them so you can't see them. This probably makes you wonder how the water is going to exit then, but at the end of the discharge line we will put on a LawnScape outlet. This will still drain the water and it's almost impossible to see in your yard.  

Kelsey was on the search for a bigger window to replace the current one in her basement. She saw that Ayers sells Egress Windows so they decided to make the call. We sent out a crew for an inspection and it was agreed that she would love the Egress Window.

There are many benefits to having an Egress Window installed and the main one being they are much larger and allow for a quick and easy exit in the event of an emergency situation. They are also waterproof so they will withstand heavy rainfalls without leaks. With these windows being larger framed, they allow more natural light to fill the room which will open up the space more. These windows are especially nice for when you want to have guests over or if someone wants to make their room in the basement.

Kelsey was happy with how the Egress Windows transformed her basement into a regular living space!
