Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Water in the home can be caused by many reasons. Many treatments stop the water at its source but oftentimes high water yields are unavoidable based on the home's location or repair budget. Luckily Ayers offers a draining system called WaterGuard that helps control the flow of water around the home and prevents damage permanently.

WaterGuard systems are placed underneath the home's foundational floor and channels water that the sump pump can not control out and away from the home.

Scott V. contacted us because his finished basement was literally getting ruined by excessive amounts of water. There were puddles flooding this basement in almost every room. Having an unfinished basement get flooded is bad enough but a finished one where you have to end up replacing the carpet and the drywall is not a good day. 

After seeing what was happening and discussing options Scott and our team of experts decided to go ahead and install our WaterGuard system. So many people have WaterGuard installed because it really does work. It's installed underneath your floor so you can't tell it's there and it collects all that water so it doesn't ruin your belongings. WaterGuard collects water from the walls and ground and directs it to the sump pump, to be properly pumped out of the basement.

The homeowner in Holland, MI noticed water seeping into his home where the floor and the walls meet. There was so much water coming in that it was leaving pools all around his basement and caused damage to his floor. 

To prevent further damage, our professional team installed WaterGuard long lasting interior perimeter drainage system. The WaterGuard system is designed to capture floor and wall seepage before the water hits the basement floor and causes damage. WaterGuard goes along the perimeter of your basement sitting on top of the footing so you do not have to worry about it being clogged by mud or other debris. Once the system captures the water, it immediately carries it to the sump pump. The sump pump then removes the water from the home! Thanks to WaterGuard the homeowners basement is now clean and dry!

Laurence realized water was leaking through the seams of his basement walls and floors and was unsure how to fix it himself. He researched his options online and called Ayers about our waterproofing solutions. We sent a team of specialists to his home to examine the situation, and they recommended the installation of WaterGuard, a drainage pipe system that prevents clogging before it starts. WaterGuard sits on top of the footing, rather than alongside it, to avoid collecting mud and clogging the drain. Laurence loves his dry basement!

Rob wanted to have Egress Windows installed to replace his small windows in the basement. He called up Ayers to go ahead with the installation.

Egress Windows are larger, allowing for more fresh air to circulate the basement and they make the space more inviting. More natural light will fill the room and will give your basement that finished look you may desire. Egress Windows even provide a safe exit option in the event an emergency occurs and you need an easy way out. 

Rob is glad he chose Egress Windows as they make his basement space more inviting!
