Before & After Photos

This customer first called us years ago in need of a sump pump. They decided to go with another company at that time, but we heard from them again a few months ago. They didn't like the sump pump the other company had installed and were concerned that it wasn't working, putting their finished basement in danger.

We installed a TripleSafe sump pump to ensure that any incoming water would quickly be discharged, and upgraded the electrical panel so that the pump didn't interfere with the rest of the house.

The block wall in the before photo had been leaking into the home quite a bit. The space between the blocks created easy access for groundwater to break through. You can even see where the water had stained the wall on its way down. Our fix in the after photo is the BrightWall system. The white panels of BrightWall are a moisture barrier system that keeps water out of view in the basement. As water leaks in through the block wall, it will be escorted down the wall and into a drainage system that sits in the foot and wall joint. The perimeter drainage system WaterGuard sits under the footing of the ground and will carry the water out to be discharged. As a system, BrightWall will solve the leaking problems that this basement has been dealing with for a long time.

This Mason, MI home had cut stone foundation walls which were constantly leaking water into the basement. Frustrated, the homeowners contacted Ayers fora waterproofing solution to their problem. We visited the home and got right to work installing WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement. This subfloor drainage system sits on top of the footing, and collects any water that might enter through the walls. The water is then rerouted from WaterGuard to the sump pump where it’s then pumped out of the basement and away from the nome. Now these Mason residents can have peace of mind knowing that WaterGuard has got their leaky walls handled.

Vickie has lived in her Mason, MI home for over 5o years and she is thinking about passing it down to her granddaughter. The fieldstone foundation of the home had water and dirt were flowing in, and the old sump pump was not doing its job properly. Vickie called Ayers for an inspection and our crew determined that she would need a new TripleSafe sump pump. 

The TripleSafe sump pump system utilizes three pumps in order to remove excess water from the basement. The second and third pumps are in case of emergencies so the basement can remain dry, even when the power goes out. 

Vickie was glad she no longer has to work to get rid of the puddling water in her basement and was more than satisfied with the work Ayers did. 

Sheri found water leaking into her basement and was worried it would reach her belongings and cause damage. She wasn't sure how to fix the problem, so she researched her options and called Ayers for help. Our crew of specialists visited her home to evaluate the space and recommend a solution. They realized Sheri's drainage pipe had clogged and suggested WaterGuard, a system designed to sit on top of the footing rather than alongside it, to prevent clogs from rocks and soil. Sheri feels comfortable keeping her items in the basement again!
