Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A faulty sump pump is a guaranteed headache. Ms. Hoecker was confused because her home seemed to be fine except for the random flooding from seemingly out of nowhere.

When told the issue and inspecting the area, our foreman Bruce was certain the home's pump system was being overworked. 

Bruce and his team replaced the old pump and fitted the home with a TripleSafe sump pump. The TripleSafe has three levels of security to ensure the pump never reaches its limit. The powerful main engine keeps up with most flow unless the home is in an area with a high water yield. The second precaution is a backup motor that activates if water reaches a certain level. The third level of safety is a battery that actives if the area or home ever loses power during a flood.

Angels and Ben had issues with their basement, as there was water in the basement. While the couple did have a sump pump, it appeared it may have broken. Angela and Ben decided to call Ayers to find a permanent solution. The team at Ayers quickly sent out a System Design Specialist to thoroughly inspect their home. The inspection concluded that the sump pump broke and a new one was needed. Thus, the team at Ayers suggested installing TripeSafe. 

TripleSafe is a sump pump system that houses two pumps within one liner. If the bottom pump ever runs into a problem, the second pump will kick on and aid in pumping water out of the home. Additionally, an external battery is attached to the second pump in the event of a power outage for ultimate protection. Once TripleSafe was installed in Ben and Angela's home, they no longer needed to worry about their basement flooding!

One of our customers from Caledonia contacted us about his wet basement walls, he didn't know how to fix this issue so he gave us a call. We drove to his home and installed FlexiSpan technology. FlexiSpan is a crack sealer for concrete that is used often times on basement walls. First, a dry well is made in the floor below the crack on the wall. Then, the crack in the wall is ready for a FlexiSpan seal. FlexiSpan contains three layers, the first is a urethane based sealant, followed by a polyurethane ether foam strip, finished off with a polyurethane sealant. Any water drains into the dry well below the FlexiSpan seal. Now this homeowner's basement walls will be dry forever.

Mike called us becuase he notcied that there were leaks in the basement walls and during heavy rain there were puddles. We installed the WaterGuard system to keep his basement dry. The WaterGuard is a French drain that is designed to be installed below the floor slab so that it is out of the "mud zone" and won't clog. The system collects water as it seems in from the walls and drains it to the sump pump. It installs quickly and has a clean finish.

The owner of this Caledonia, MI home recently noticed that water was leaking in through the corner walls of the basement. He was so concerned by the amount of water that entered, he immediately dug up the soil that was around the wall as seen in the before photo. In the after photo, you can see the Sentry Seal solution that the crew used to make sure that water didn’t leak through again. The sealant is made of a black membrane that’s attached to the walls using a sticky resin to hold them in place. Once the membrane was fully attached, the crew replaced the soil and completed the installation.
