Sometimes, it is not the fault of the home for a high water yield. Often because of where the home is placed, it can be susceptible to flooding. Even with strong working sump pumps there can often be times when the pumps cannot meet the demand.
WaterGuard is a great remedy to this issue. The series of channels are installed into the foundational ground and covered to keep the area sightly. The channels lead the water to an exit port that empties far away from the home.
David was on the hunt for a solution to the water intruding in his basement where the floor and wall met so he called up Ayers. After we completed a thorough inspection in his basement it was settled that our WaterGuard System would take care of the water. The WaterGuard System is a drainage system placed below the basement floor along the perimeter to ensure water is collected here and directed to the sump pump rather than ending up as puddles on the floor. This system is concealed with concrete and once it dries it will blend into the space!
Most homes come equipped with s sump pump. Without these pumps, the access flow of water would have nowhere else to go but stand still and collect on the basement floor. Instead, these pumps divert the water back outside, keeping the inner space safe and dry.
Some homes experience unavoidable flooding and need a reliable pump on standby for when it does. That's why here at Ayers our team uses a TripleSafe pump whenever a new sump pump needs to be installed. The TripleSafe comes with two extra failsafes to ensure the water level never overwork the system. Along with its initial motor, the pump also has a backup motor and batteries on reserve in case of power outages.
Cindy was worried about water leaking into her basement and running down the seam of the floor and walls. She wasn't sure what the problem was, so she researched her options and called Ayers for assistance. We sent a crew of professionals to her home to evaluate the situation and recommend a solution. They realized Cindy's drainage pipes were clogged and suggested installing WaterGuard. Drainage pipe systems are typically placed alongside the footing rather than on top, while WaterGuard does the opposite to prevent clogging. Cindy loves having a dry home!
Our customer called because his neighbor had had his crawl space encapsulated by us and he wanted "the same treatment." Upon exploring the crawl space, it was clear he needed it. After clearing out debris, we installed the CleanSpace vapor barrier system with drainage matting and SilverGlo insulation panels. We also installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to take care of ambient moisture, and CleanSpace vent covers to protect the crawl space from the elements.
