Before & After Photos

The pipe exiting the basement wall in the before photo had been leaking and filling up the cinder blocks with water. Our crews patch up leaks like these with the sentry seal sealant. It’s a thick, waterproof membrane that protects against groundwater. The pipe led water away from the basement to an outlet in the yard. But with a leak in the wall, the water that should have been pumped out of the basement just ended up seeping back through the walls. Because the sentry seal membrane is used on wall cracks that are below ground, the crew normally needs to excavate the soil around the leak. However, in this case, the soil had already been excavated. As you can see in the after photo, the crew even used sentry seal over the pipe to make sure that neither it nor the wall would leak again. 

Karen had a small area in the basement where water accumulated on the floor below the walls. She trusted Ayers to recommend the best waterproofing systems to resolve this frustrating issue. We decided first to install our WaterGuard system to give the water seeping through the walls a place to be collected and rerouted to the sump pump. WaterGuard gets placed within the basement floor around the walls, and our crew covers the drain with fresh concrete. Additionally, we installed our TripleSafe sump pump system in the problem corner as well. The three-pump solution fits in one durable plastic liner, and each pump can keep up with heavy volumes of water. Karen is glad water pools don't exist in her basement anymore!

The homeowners in Portage, MI had water seeping into their basment through their floor. The water was starting to puddle and damage their basement floors. The homeowners had no exisiting sump pump so they were not sure what to do about the puddling water. 

Our professional team installed the TripleSafe sump pump. The TripleSafe sump pump has three pumps in one giving you triple protection. The first pump will remove the water from you home. The second pump has a seperate discharge line and is more powerful. The second pump is there for you in the rare occasions that the first pump fails. The third pump is equipped with batteries, so it is there for you if the power goes out. 

Thanks to the TripleSafe sump pump the homeowners do not have to worry about water puddling and damaging their floors! 

It was an exciting time for Stephen as he was remodeling his basement and installing new carpet. He contacted our team to see about installing an egress window to ensure his home was in alignment with today's building codes. With the installment of our Egress Window, Stephen and his family not only have a safe emergency exit, but a brighter and more modern looking basement to match the rest of their renovations! 

A homeowner in Portage, MI, was dealing with water intrusion in the basement, which had spread to a corner and leaked into the laundry room. Without a sump pump, the problem persisted. To resolve the issue, we installed a TripleSafe sump pump, CleanSpace, a vapor barrier product, and our WaterGuard system to direct water into the sump pump. These solutions now keep the basement dry and protect the home from future water damage.
