Susan's current sump pump system was failing her and therefore causing water to accumulate in her basement so she called Ayers. To diagnose the issue and get Susan the best fix, we conducted an inspection. From this we were able to recommend our WaterGuard System and our TripleSafe Sump Pump. The WaterGuard consists of a below-floor drainage system placed along the perimeter of the basement and collects water. It will be hooked to the TripleSafe we installed to ensure water is directed there and it will be concealed with concrete. TripleSafe is a three pump durable system that keeps water out in one thick liner. Susan was grateful to get a more efficient replacement system that will keep her home dry!
One of our crews at Ayers inspected Sheila's North Adams, Michigan, home to decipher the best solution for water intrusion. We determined our WaterGuard system would be the best option to keep water outside the home. WaterGuard, a specially designed interior drainage system, collects water leaks and directs them to a sump pump. We installed this piping along the perimeter of the basement on top of the foundation's footing. As water leaks through the walls and falls to the floor, WaterGuard collects it within the subfloor drain, preventing water damage. Pouring concrete over the system conceals it within the basement floor. Sheila is grateful to receive the professional help her basement desperately requires!
Christine noticed her old sump pump was no longer doing the trick. It wasn't keeping up with the water leaking into the basement, so she called Ayers for a more efficient replacement. Our professionals recommended our TripleSafe sump pump system. This solution consists of three trustworthy pumps that fit in one durable liner. The third pump is even battery-powered to ensure it runs during power outages. Christine is relieved now that she has a better sump pump to tackle the leaks!
The large crack in the before photo occurred because the groundwater had been pushing its way through the seams of the wall. As you can see, the water had resulted in a lot of damage around the seam like water stains and widening the crack. The after photo shows our solution, the FlexiSpan crack repair system. It’s a two-layer sealant that both plugs the crack and creates a drainage route for leaking water. Underneath the white panel in the after photo, polyurethane was used to seal the seam. Any water that pushes through the sealant will be directed down the wall into a drainage well at the foot of the wall. The FlexiSpan will stop water from coming entering this basement again.
This Dewitt home had water in the basement but the homeowners needs a fix. They wanted to sell the home within 2 years and they knew they could not do that with water intrusions. WaterGuard was used to collect the water that leaks in and send it to the sump pump. The drain is below the floor but above the foundation so it won't clog. All concrete is restored after installation so there is not an unsightly drain in your space.
