Before & After Photos

Tammie was worried about water leaking into her basement and running down the seam of the 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 Tammie'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. Tammie feels more comfortable in her dry home!

Lori awoke the morning after a storm and found water leaking into her basement and pooling on the floor. She didn't want her belongings ruined but wasn't sure how to fix the problem, so she called Ayers for help. We sent a team of specialists to her home to evaluate and recommend a solution. They suggested installing TripleSafe, the sump pump system designed with three pumps to prevent failure. The primary and backup pumps are accompanied by a battery-powered pump in case of power outages! Lori is glad she called and got the job done correctly!

With two inches of standing water last Spring finding its way into the basement, this property needed to keep the basement dry to attract buyers for the following year. The WaterGuard french drain system will be used to catch the water and send it straight to the sump pump before it causes any damage. Additionally, BrightWall was installed along the walls to give the basement a clean look and lighten up the space.

This Lansing, MI homeowner gave us a call when water started pooling around his drain. The owner was concerned about possible water damage because the partially finished basement included a bedroom, full bathroom, and living area. With a sump pump and lawn discharge already in place, he wasn’t sure what more needed to be done for protection. But, our system design specialist was happy to lay out the options.

Eventually, the owner decided on an upgrade to his previous system. While the new system would include a perimeter drainage system and an additional discharge line, the big upgrade was from his previous sump to our SuperSump system. The base 1/3 horsepower of SuperSump makes it one of our more reliable and economical sump pump systems. As you can see in the after photo, the sump pump also comes with an airtight lid to prevent water from pooling over and debris from falling in and causing clogs. It’s also perfect for helping this basement maintain its partially finished look. The additional power of the SuperSump, combined with the rest of their new waterproofing system will keep this basement constantly dry. For added protection, we recommend homeowners consider our optional backup pumps to keep your basement dry even during power outages.

The Before picture shows just how badly water was entering the basement when it would rain or the snow would melt. The homeowners were tired of dealing with this and were ready for a solution. Our team visited the home and got right to work installing the WaterGuard system. This sub-floor drainage system works to collect water from wall leaks and reroute it to the sump pump to be discharged from the basement. Special piping is laid on top of the footing of the foundation, instead of along, so it won’t get clogged with dirt or mud. WaterGuard ensures that all leaks are taken care of ASAP, so they don’t make their way to the rest of the basement.
