Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Bob knew he had water problems in his basement but wasn't sure how to fix it. After the last storm, water leaked onto the floor and pooled in the middle. He couldn't tolerate standing water, so he called Ayers for help. A team of experts stopped by his home and recommended installing the TripleSafe sump pump. TripleSafe consists of three pumps: a primary, a backup, and a battery-powered pump for power outages. Bob is relieved to have a dry basement!

If you have a crack in your basement wall, call a basement company. Foundation cracks are rarely just cracks and often indicate a larger problem. In this case, a contractor tried to simply fill a wall crack with epoxy, but the leak causing the crack didn't really care and continued to leak and, therefore, crack.

We installed the FlexiSpan crack repair system, which seals the crack and remains flexible enough to accommodate any shifting in the surrounding soil.

Brandon noticed slopping in his floors at home, causing him some concern. He decided to contact Ayers to have a professional opinion. Our resident foreman Evan was able to inspect the area and listen to Brandon's concerns.

Evan noticed the home's crawl space was lacking support so decided to install a set of SmartJack piers.

SmartJack piers are metal beams placed strategically along the structure's supportive rim joist. The bottoms are anchored into the ground with poured concrete while the tops are capped with load-bearing joints that are attached to the rim joist. The entire pier's height is adjusted till there is constant pressure being applied, reintroducing support to the entire framework. 

Our customer was experiencing water seeping into their basement where the floor and wall meet. The water coming has caused damage to the walls. After we waterproofed this customer’s basement we installed our Everlast Panels. Our Everlast Panels helped to cover up the damaged walls and make sure that any additional water that seeped through would drain to the WaterGuard system and goes into the Ultra Sump sump pump. The Ultra Sump sump pump will be pump any water that entered the basement.

Cracks in basement walls can be difficult to waterproof when conventional sealants don't stick well and cracks move and expand. We've helped many homeowners who have tried to waterproof cracks on their own with no success.

Our team does inject sealants into the crack but this is only a first line of defense. We also excavate a small area under the crack creating a drywell a few gallons deep that water will eventually flow into and leach back into the soil. The drywell is filled with crushed stone and the concrete on top is replaced aside from a small gap at the base of the wall where the water is allowed to seep in. The crack is covered with a foam followed by a mold and mildew resistant layer on top. The foam creates a space between the wall and mold resistant layer where water can flow freely into the drywell in the event that the sealants begin to fail. The homeowner will never have to worry about puddles. They'll likely not even know whether the crack is leaking or not. The shop vac can now have a much needed break.
