Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Most homes come equipped with s sump pump. Without these pumps, the access flow of water would have nowhere else to go but stand still and collect on the basement floor. Instead, these pumps divert the water back outside, keeping the inner space safe and dry.

Some homes experience unavoidable flooding and need a reliable pump on standby for when it does. That's why here at Ayers our team uses a TripleSafe pump whenever a new sump pump needs to be installed. The TripleSafe comes with two extra failsafes to ensure the water level never overwork the system. Along with its initial motor, the pump also has a backup motor and batteries on reserve in case of power outages.

Sometimes, it is not the fault of the home for a high water yield. Often because of where the home is placed, it can be susceptible to flooding. Even with strong working sump pumps there can often be times when the pumps cannot meet the demand.

WaterGuard is a great remedy to this issue. The series of channels are installed into the foundational ground and covered to keep the area sightly. The channels lead the water to an exit port that empties far away from the home.

After the owner of this house passed away, her son in law decided it was time to say goodbye to the home as well. The only problem was the basement flood problems, twice in the past few years, the owner had gone downstairs to discover water pooling up to almost 4 inches. Determined to take care of the problem before he listed the home on the market, the owner gave us a call.

With a perimeter drainage system being installed to collect any water in the basement, it became necessary to provide a way for discharge as well. Based on the recommendation of our system design specialist, the homeowner elected to go with the SuperSump seen in in the after photo. Once the ground was excavated, both the sump pump and a WaterGuard Drainage system were installed. Water that floods into the basement will be directed to the SuperSump by WaterGuard and then pumped out. The SuperSump is extremely effective and capable of pumping out over 2,000 gallons of water per hour, making flooding a thing of the past for this home.

Cindy was worried about water leaking into her basement and running down the seam of the floor and walls. She wasn't sure what the problem was, so she researched her options and called Ayers for assistance. We sent a crew of professionals to her home to evaluate the situation and recommend a solution. They realized Cindy's drainage pipes were clogged and suggested installing WaterGuard. Drainage pipe systems are typically placed alongside the footing rather than on top, while WaterGuard does the opposite to prevent clogging. Cindy loves having a dry home!

Susan's current sump pump system was failing her and therefore causing water to accumulate in her basement so she called Ayers. To diagnose the issue and get Susan the best fix, we conducted an inspection. From this we were able to recommend our WaterGuard System and our TripleSafe Sump Pump. The WaterGuard consists of a below-floor drainage system placed along the perimeter of the basement and collects water. It will be hooked to the TripleSafe we installed to ensure water is directed there and it will be concealed with concrete. TripleSafe is a three pump durable system that keeps water out in one thick liner. Susan was grateful to get a more efficient replacement system that will keep her home dry!
