Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Floyd has lived in his home built in the 50s for about 20 years. Water has been seeping in from the walls and pooling all over since he moved in. He finally called Ayers for an inspection and our crew determined that a combination of WaterGuard and the TripleSafe sump pump would solve Floyd's waterproofing needs. 

WaterGuard is a sub-floor 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. The TripleSafe sump pump utilizes three pumps in order to remove excess water from the basement. The second and third pumps are in case of emergencies so the basement can remain dry, even when the power goes out. 

Floyd was overjoyed that this problem could finally be fixed. He never has to worry about the hassle of cleaning up after a flood ever again. 

These Lake City, MI homeowner was experiencing water seepage at the footing of one of the walls in the home. In order to seal off the cracks that were allowing water to leak in, we needed to install the SentrySeal system. We first had to remove two feet of soil outside of the problem wall in order to install the SentrySeal membrane around the bottom of the footing to seal the imperfect joint between the wall and footing. This specialized membrane was placed over insulation panels on the wall, which created a tight seal to prevent water from seeping into the home.

Scott called with a multitude of problems in his basement, the largest of which was water. We installed a full waterproofing system that included replacing the old, open sump pump (being uncovered exposes it to damage risk and debris) with a top of the line TripleSafe sump pump, which will keep the basement dry.

Gloria called Ayers for remedies to keep her basement and belongings dry! After a free inspection was conducted our professionals determined she could use our WaterGuard System and IceGuard. The WaterGuard system will collect dirt or water seeping in through her basement walls and direct it to the sump system it is hooked to. Then it is concealed with concrete. Lastly we added IceGuard to prevent her exterior discharge lines from freezing or clogging with its antifreeze fitting that has slotted openings which eject water away from the foundation.

Gloria was satisfied with these waterproofing installations that ensure her home stays dry!

Plumbing issues are one of the more common ways that basements flood. These can be anything from leaky water heaters to burst hoses on washing machines. After noticing a lot of moisture in his basement, this homeowner decided to investigate. He found that water was flowing through the hole where a pipe for his pressurized well tank met the wall.

When there is a leak in a basement wall the water will flow down and puddle on the floor. To collect and direct this water to a safe discharge area, we install perimeter drainage systems. However, much like with water heater leaks, well tanks can create their own floods and pools. The easiest way to prevent these leaks from causing damage to your basement is with a FloodRing. FloodRings are 4-inch high PVC rings that encircle tanks and water heaters to keep water from spreading. The ring can then be connected to a perimeter drainage system and discharged outside. With these two products in place, this basement will be protected from leaks in the walls and on the ground.
