Before & After Photos

Water in the home can be caused by many reasons. Many treatments stop the water at its source but oftentimes high water yields are unavoidable based on the home's location or repair budget. Luckily Ayers offers a draining system called WaterGuard that helps control the flow of water around the home and prevents damage permanently.

WaterGuard systems are placed underneath the home's foundational floor and channels water that the sump pump can not control out and away from the home.

During heavy rainfall, Beltran noticed water pooling in his finished basement. Immediately contacting Ayers after not being able to find the source of the flooding, our foreman Randy inspected the area and realized the home's drainage system was being overworked. The location of the home makes heavy water yields inevitable.

Randy and his team decided to fit the home with a draining system that would be installed underneath the home's finished basement flooring. The system used is called a WaterGuard and consists of channels installed into the foundational floor. The channels direct the water away from the home, never giving it chance to reach the surface. The basement flooring is placed on top of the system, making it invisible as well as reliable.

Rob wanted to have Egress Windows installed to replace his small windows in the basement. He called up Ayers to go ahead with the installation.

Egress Windows are larger, allowing for more fresh air to circulate the basement and they make the space more inviting. More natural light will fill the room and will give your basement that finished look you may desire. Egress Windows even provide a safe exit option in the event an emergency occurs and you need an easy way out. 

Rob is glad he chose Egress Windows as they make his basement space more inviting!

Laurence realized water was leaking through the seams of his basement walls and floors and was unsure how to fix it himself. He researched his options online and called Ayers about our waterproofing solutions. We sent a team of specialists to his home to examine the situation, and they recommended the installation of WaterGuard, a drainage pipe system that prevents clogging before it starts. WaterGuard sits on top of the footing, rather than alongside it, to avoid collecting mud and clogging the drain. Laurence loves his dry basement!

The walls in the basement of this home were starting to bow, and water was making its way into the basement. It was clear that both of these issues needed to be addressed if the basement ever wanted to see drier days.

To fix the bowed walls, PowerBraces were used. These zinc-coated beams that are resistant to corrosion, support the basement walls and can be tightened to allow for potentially straightening the walls over time.

To prevent water from collecting in puddles on the floor, WaterGuard, a perimeter subfloor drainage system, does the trick. The metal piping is installed on top of the footing so it won’t ever get clogged with mud if the soil gets wet. WaterGuard efficiently collects water from the walls and reroutes it to the sump pump.
