Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Tara was interested in having an egress window and well installed so she called our team. Egress windows will help ventilate your indoor areas and prevent unwanted allergens from entering your house. Most normal windows offer minimal protection against outside air entering the home due to poor insulation around the window. Also, Egress Windows provide a safe exit in case of emergency so they are required in finished basement living areas. In addition, these windows provide lots of natural light.

Our customer, John C. from Saugatuck, MI, was having problems with water in his basement. Thankfully, we had a solution. Water in basements can cause serious problems over time and we had just the thing to take care of this issue.

We installed our patented SuperSump premier sump pump system for this job. The SuperSump 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.

Puddles. The only word to describe the aftermath of a water leak in this basement. When water would enter the basement it’d collect in puddles across the floor, making it an area you’d want to avoid. At Ayers, we firmly believe that no basement should have water in it, let alone puddles. To fix this problem, our team got to work installing WaterGuard around the perimeter of this basement. This specially engineered waterproofing system is designed to collect water from the floor and walls. Since the piping sits on top of the footing, it won’t get clogged with mud. The installation of WaterGuard in this basement ensures that puddles are a thing of the past, keeping these floors nice and dry.

The homeowners were noticing puddles of water on the floor in their basement. The water was coming in from the corners of their basement and their existing sump pump was not removing water effectively. Our team knew something had to be done!

Our professional team installed the SuperSump premier sump pump system. The SuperSump is a full featured system that includes the best components available. It includes the SuperLiner, which is an airtight lid that looks more attractive, keeps pests out and eliminates safety hazard of an open sump pump. It has a floor drain in case an unforeseen accident puts water on your basement floor. It includes a WaterWatch Alarm, which alerts you if the water level rises above the sump pump intake. It has a cast-iron pump to prevent overheating and burnout. It has a CleanPump pump stand that elevates the sump pump to prevent clogging.  It has a check valve to prevent pumped water from re-entering.  Lastly, it has an improved float valve to ensure long term performance.   

Some sump pump manufacturers will sell you their sump pump by saying that you get free replacements or a lifetime warranty but how true is that? But think about it, how will you know when your pump needs to be replaced? Probably once it has already flooded your entire basement which is what we're trying to prevent. So basically your lifetime warranty of free replacements are going to be no help. 

We have the best pumps on the market. There is literally a pump to suit everyones basement needs. The SuperSump installed here comes with an airtight lid to prevent water from evaporating back into your basement and to prevent unwanted debris from clogging your pump.  There is also a pump stand to elevate the pump above the sump liner a little bit so no clogging and keep everything clean. The best part too is that it comes equipped with a pump alarm to alert you if its failing or your basement is in danger of being flooded.
