Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Mr. Oshay was looking to redo a fixer-upper. The boarded up windows were a sign to Mr. Oshay that he had his work cut out for him. When he invited our foreman Evan in for an inspection, Even noticed a large number of cracks in his basement brick walls. The Cracks had progressed to the point that 2 of the walls were already bowing.

To remedy the issue, Evan and his team installed a set of GeoLock anchors. The outside of the bowed wall is excavated where a steel anchor is driven into the ground, and on the other side is a flat metal plate. The plate is bolted to the cracked wall and attached to the anchor on the other side. Once the pieces are aligned, the connecting screw is tighter till there is constant pressure being applied to the wall. The pressure corrects the wall and holds it in place, making it a permanent solution to Mr. Oshay's wall problem.

Tony was over having to deal with water leaks causing trouble in his home after a failed DIY attempt to fix his problems himself years ago. He called up Ayers for a long-lasting, trustworthy solution. After inspection our crew decided he could use our WaterGuard Drainage System, TripleSafe Sump Pump System, and our IceGuard. 

The WaterGuard solution is a sub-floor drainage system that is installed along the perimeter of your basement that will catch water or dirt and direct the flow to your drainage and sump pump system. Concrete is poured over this system to conceal it and you can have regular flooring installed over this as well if you want. TripleSafe consists of three pumps that fit in one liner that work to keep water out of your basement. The first pump is the main leader in keeping water out and the second will run if assistance is needed or the first fails. The last pump will turn on if the power goes out as it is battery-operated. The last installation was our IceGuard which was installed on the outside of his home and will prevent his discharge lines from freezing or clogging in the cold weather.

Tony was happy to replace his DIY fix and have a trustworthy waterproofing system installed instead so he now is worry free from water leaks ruining his property!

Paul retired and found the perfect home in 2021 that the whole family can enjoy. It was time to make sure the home was safe and dry from his family. Paul called Ayers and after our initial inspection, we determined that the CleanSpace Wall System and the TripleSafe Sump Pump would be his best options. CleanSpace Wall System is a moisture barrier that uses a thick plastic liner along crawlspace 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 and cool his home. The TripleSafe Sump Pump utilizes three pumps in order to remove excess water from the basement or crawlspace. the second and third pumps are in case of emergencies so the basement can remain dry, even when the power goes out. Paul was ecstatic that his home will forever be safe and dry for his whole family.

Maria’s home was built in 1968, but her and her husband have been living there since 2018. The cinderblock foundation slowly allows water to seep in whenever there is heavy rain. They’ve had a few different companies come out to try and fix the problem, but none of their solutions have worked. Finally they found Ayers and we came out for an inspection. Our crew determined that Maria and her husband would need us to install a TripleSafe sump pump. 

The TripleSafe sump pump system 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. 

Maria and her husband were ecstatic that we were able to solve this problem for them. They can’t wait to finish the basement and add a bathroom now that the flooding is under control!
