Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

As you can see in the before photo, the windows of this basement hadn’t seen a lot of use over the past few years. In total, there were 6 basement windows and they were all boarded up in a similar fashion as this one. When the homeowners called us up to repair their foundation, they figured it was also a good time to replace their old worn out windows.

The replacement windows in the after photo are what we call our egress window system. The real benefit of the system are the wells that come accompany the windows. Once placed into excavated portions of soil, the inorganic, waterproof wells will shield the newly installed windows from possible leaks and any decay caused by ground water. The owners now have windows they can see out of, and they’re even protected.

Linda was looking into Ayers for an Egress Window so she could legally make her basement a living space. She gave Ayers a call and we had our customer care team set up an appointment for her. 

The main advantage of Egress Windows would be that they are waterproof and provide a quick, easy escape in the case of an emergency. They are also much larger in size compared to the typical basement window. More natural light and fresh air will fill the room. This will make her basement more inviting for company and for whoever is planning on moving in down there.

Linda was thankful for her new Egress Window that transformed her basement into a regular living space!

Our customer called because their old, open sump pump wasn't doing the job. In addition to the pump not being powerful enough, the lack of lid left it vulnerable to damage from physical trauma or debris.

We replaced the pump with a TripleSafe sump pump. With three powerful motors and a battery backup, the TripleSafe will keep your basement dry in even the harshest conditions.

The homeowners in Ostego, MI were noticing water pooling in their crawl space. They knew that they needed to get things fixed up because they did not want the moisture to cause mold in their crawl space. The mold could lead to health problems for the family. 

The homeowner's old sump pump was replaced with the TripleSafe sump pump. The TripleSafe sump pump has three sump pumps in one for extra protection. The first pump removes water effectively from the home. The second pump has a separate discharge line and is more powerful so it is there for you in the rare cases that the first pump fails. The third pump is equipped with batteries so it is there for you if the power goes out. 

Thanks to the TripleSafe sump pump the homeowner's basement is now clean and dry! 

Gary's old sump pump recently failed, and he found water leaking onto his basement floor. He didn't want the problem to worsen, or his belongings ruined, so he researched his options and called Ayers for help. Our crew of specialists visited his home to assess the issue and recommended the installation of the TripleSafe sump pump. TripleSafe is designed to proactively prevent pump failure by including two backup pumps, one of which is battery-powered in case of outages. Gary feels much more comfortable with his new system!
