Before & After Photos

Which came first: The wall crack or the leak?

It's hard to tell, since water can come in through cracked basement walls but water can also CAUSE wall cracks by weakening the structure, but either way, we can fix it.

These homeowners had a long horizontal wall crack on one of their basement walls (marked in both pictures by the gray tape), along with a leak. After we installed new discharge line and a set of LawnScape outlets to take care of the leak, we used six 8 foot PowerBraces to reinforce the failing wall.

A wet basement is no beauty -- as seen in the picture of this basement in Olivet, MI. However, we have a solution: WaterGuard. The WaterGuard French drain system rests below the floor and on top of the foundation footing, collecting the water that drains through your basement walls. The water is then filtered into your sump pump. This is a great way to avoid a water issue in your basement.

David owns a commercial building, and the basement has a water intrusion issue. The water has come into the basement about four times in the past couple of years and covers about a quarter of the floor. Their drain system was not working, so they were sucking up the water with a shop vac. We used the WaterGuard Below Floor Drain to collect the water and send it to the sump pump to be discharged outside. We also installed a new sump pump to keep the water out. The TripleSafe provides three levels of protection from water, even in cases of a power outage or a pump malfunction. 

Amanda had water coming in her basement and it is now standing water. She needed a solution to the standing water and wanted it fixed so it woulnd't happen again. We decided the WaterGuard was the best option for her and the leaks. The drain is installed under the floor and collects the water that seeps into the basement. The WaterGuard takes the water collected and drains it to the sump pump to be expelled out of the home.

Dawn was looking for a permanent resolution to the pools of water in her basement that would appear after heavy rains. She called Ayers, hopeful we would be able to relieve her stress over these water leaks. We sent out a crew and it was determined she could use our SuperSump Plus, our WaterGuard System, as well as our SaniDry XP Basement Dehumidifier. 

The SuperSump Plus is perfect for Dawn's situation with the water leaks only happening occasionally after heavy rains. It can pump 2200 gallons of water an hour at an 8 foot head. The WaterGuard System was installed in the sub-floor along the perimeter of the basement to act as a drainage system. It will collect any dirt and water and keep it away from your foundation. The final installment was our SaniDry XP Basement Dehumidifier and this product creates clean and dry air which prevents mold growth.

Dawn was satisfied with these waterproofing installments as she is now worry-free of these water leaks damaging her precious belongings!
