Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Alan M. of Jackson, Michigan lives in an old farm house over 100 years old built from stone walls. The stone walls had led to leaking water into the basement, and Alan needed a solution fast. 

We installed the WaterGuard French drain system and the SuperSump premier sump pump system. WaterGuard rests below the basement floor and above the foundation footing. This placement is made in order to catch all the water that seeps into the basement from the walls. Once this water is collected, it is redirected into the sump pump, in this case, the SuperSump, to be pumped up and out of the home. 

The SuperSump premier sump pump system is a sump pump specifically designed to keep your basement dry for long periods of time. Capable of pumping 2,220 gallons of water per hour, it is suitable for heavy water intrusion.

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. 

To combat this water our professional team installed our WaterGuard long lasting interior perimeter drainage system. The WaterGuard system sits on the top of the footing in order to prevent clogging from mud or debris. The system works by capturing water seepage from the floors and walls before it has a chance to damage anything. Once the water is trapped in the drain it is immediately directed to the sump pump. The sump pump then removes the water from the home keeping your basement clean and dry!

This apartment complex had a problem with water seepage in two of the lower apartments. The soil outside of the wall had sunk about one foot, which left the covering on the exterior wall exposed. In order to seal off the wall and prevent water from continuing to damage the property, we installed the SentrySeal system. We first excavated a small section of soil outside of the wall to make room for the sealant. Insulation was then placed over the wall and the specialized sealant was installed to seal off any cracks or openings from the outside to prevent water from seeping in. Once we were finished, the soil was backfilled and water would no longer cause any issues for the complex.

Jeff was tired of handling this frustrating water intrusion issue that was ongoing in his basement so he called Ayers. After an inspection was conducted it was recommended by our System Design Specialists that he could use our WaterGuard System and TripleSafe Sump Pump System. WaterGuard is a sub-floor drainage system placed along the basement's perimeter and works to catch any water seeping in through the walls. TripleSafe is a three pump system that fits in one trusty liner that will pump the water out and keep the water off his belongings. He was glad to get this water intrusion handled before matters got worse!

Faced with persistent flooding in his 1950s East Lansing church, Farid sought a permanent solution to protect the building from water damage. Ayers Basement Systems installed an exterior crock, grate lids, and a straight discharge line with a bubbler pot to manage excess water efficiently. With careful planning and execution, the church is now dry and secure, allowing the congregation to worship without worry.
