Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Shelly had some water coming into her partially finished basement where the wall and floor meet. She wanted her basement to be dry and keep her things safe. We used WaterGuard to collect the water that leaks into the basement and send to her sump pump. It is installed under the floor and all concrete is replaced afterwards so you do not have an ugly drain in the basement. It keeps the space dry and protects the home finishings!

Dan V. wasn't having any basement waterproofing issues but needed to replace an old basement window. Our field supervisor Ron N. designed a solution for Dan V. that included a code-compliant egress window with built-in steps to allow his family a safe exit from their basement room in case of an emergency.

While not pictured, we covered this window well with a safety cover designed to keep debris out while letting in beautiful, natural sunlight. These window well covers can also withstand rust, rot, rain, snow and UV rays. You can see the dramatic difference in the size of the window and the ability for a quick emergency exit.

Louann's basement in Fulton, MI, faced constant water issues, with pooling at the floor-wall joint causing mold and drywall damage. After installing a CleanSpace® vapor barrier, WaterGuard® French drain, and TripleSafe™ sump pump, her basement is now dry, secure, and mold-free. Louann can now enjoy peace of mind knowing her home is safe from water damage and healthier for her family.

The before photo shows the damage caused by the leaking basement wall. Constant rain had let moisture into the basement and caused discoloring of the wall. On top of that, the wall had turned into a mess to look at. The wall was starting to crumble inwards, note the slight curves in the before photo. The solution in the after photo is our CleanSpace Wall System. CleanSpace is a vapor barrier that will hold back any moisture that passes through foundation walls. Water that does continue to leak through the foundation wall will flow down behind the barrier into the perimeter drainage system below. The wall will no longer look like it did in the before photo. 

Hannah was in serious need of a waterproofing system in her basement since she had no sump pump and water was leaking in, causing damage to her belongings. She knew that Ayers offers waterproofing solutions so she gave us a call. After a free inspection at her home our System Design Specialists recommended we install our WaterGuard System, our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, as well as IceGuard.

We started this process by installing WaterGuard which is a sub-floor drainage system that rests on top of the foundation footing and collects any water seeping in. Concrete will be poured over the system as well to conceal it. Then we installed TripleSafe since this is a three pump system that fits in one trusty liner and keeps water out of the basement. The first pump will do most of this job while the second will run if assistance is needed, and the final pump is battery-operated, meant for power outages. Last of all, we installed IceGuard for the exterior discharge lines to protect them from freezing or clogging in cold weather.

Hannah was glad she called professionals to permanently tackle these frustrating water leaks!
