Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Kari noticed some water issues in her basement and moisture in the wall that was causing the paint to peel. She was not sure where the water was coming from but wanted it fixed as soon as possible. First, we installed the TripleSafe Sump Pump to provide three levels of protection in case of a pump malfunction or a power outage. Next we installed the WaterGuard system which is a French drain that collects water the seeps into the basement. The drain in installed under the floor but above the foundation so that it does not clog. The water collected is sent to the sump pump to be discharged outside the home. Lastly, we installed the Basement to Beautiful Insulated Wall Panels. The panels are made of SilverGlo insulation which is a closed-cell, graphite-infused insulation that's designed to be 24% more energy efficient than competing foam paneling. 

Kari was having some water issues in her basement and was not sure where the water was coming in from but wanted a fix because the moisture was causing the paint to peel. We started by installing the TripleSafe Sump Pump System which provides the basement with three levels of protection in case of pump malfunction or a poweroutage and it gives peace of mind to the homeowner. Next we installed the WaterGuard system that is made up of a French drain under the floor but above the foundation to keep it from clogging. The WaterGuard collects water that seeps into the basement and then sends it to the sump pump to be expelled outside the home. Lastly, we installed the Basement to Beautiful Insulated Wall Panels which separates the panels from your cold, concrete walls to avoid "cold spots."  The panels are made with SilverGlo insulation which is a closed-cell, graphite-infused insulation that's designed to be 24% more energy efficient than competing foam paneling. 

We spoke to Melissa over the phone to discuss our egress windows. She wanted a larger window to increase the natural light in her basement to brighten the space. Our egress windows are perfect since they are much larger than the standard basement window, and the opening allows for a safe exit in emergencies. We attach an exterior well with steps to ensure this exit is quick and easy. Melissa's basement feels much more open and welcoming now!

In order to prevent wetness in the basement due to their sump pump, this Kalamzoo family reached out to Ayers for some expert help. We recommened our patented SuperSump sump pump, capable of keeping a basement dry for the long haul. The SuperSump saved this family's basement by having the ability to pump water out of their basement at 2,220 gallons per hour. Their basement now may be used as a safe living space. 

At Ayers, we are all about reliability, and our products reflect that. We transformed this old, non-reliable pump into a fully functional SuperSump. The SuperSump contains a pump stand (prevents clogging of any debris in the sump liner), pump alarm (for when the basement floods), and an airtight sump lid with a floor drain in it (helps water to go down but not air to come up). This home will now be able to rely on their sump pump to properly drain all of the water out of the basement.
