Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Do you plan on spending more time in your basement, maybe making a bedroom  or playroom down there? Well, it's important that your house is up to code and safe with two exits in case of an emergency. The door is one exit and an egress window makes for the perfect second exit. We completely install the egress window/cover and do all the work for you. This will give you and your family peace of mind and helps with the resale value of your home if you ever want to sell it.

Amanda started to get concerned when she noted water seeping into her basement so she decided to make the call to Ayers. We had our professionals head over to her home for a free inspection to make some recommendations. From there our System Design Specialists were able to determine she would need our WaterGuard System and TripleSafe System.

Now with WaterGuard installed this sub-floor drainage system will collect any dirt or water seeping in through wall cracks. This is placed along the perimeter of the basement and concrete is then poured over it. The final product we installed was TripleSafe which consists of a three pump system that fits in one sturdy liner. The first pump will keep most of the water out of her basement, the second pump is there for any assistance the first pump may need, and the last pump will turn on if the power fails.

Amanda was thrilled to have our professionals tackle this stressful issue for her!

Jamie and her husband, Brian, have a son who will be moving into the room in their basement. The room is currently unfinished but they want to finish it once they replace the window with an Egress Window. The Egress has a larger size and the well has a ladder in it so it provides a safe exit in case of emergencies. The large window also allows more light into the room so it looks bigger and more welcoming.

This basement would leak down the walls after heavy rains and onto the tile floor. As you can see in the before photo, the wood panels had a bit of water damage towards the bottom of them. To help repair the problem, the crew installed a WaterGuard perimeter drainage system at the foot of the walls. They cut the bottom portions of the walls to remove the stains. Before the perimeter system could be installed, the tile and floor needed to be excavated to make room for the pipes. The after photo shows where fresh concrete was poured to cover the system and the SuperSump system that will pump out any water in the WaterGuard. With those two systems, there will be no more leaks in this basement.

The homeowners in Jackson, MI had water coming into their basement where the floor and the wall met. The water was starting to pool in some areas and started causing damage to their basement floor. They knew they needed to fixed the problem so they called Ayers Basement Systems. 

Our professional team also installed the TripleSafe sump pump. The TripleSafe is three sump pumps in one giving you triple protection. The first pump will effectively and efficiently remove water from the home. The second pump has a seperate discharge line and is more powerful. The second pump is there for you on the rare ocassions that you need it. The third pump is equipped with batteries and is there for you if the power goes out. The TripleSafe switches automatically so you do not need to worry about anything!
