Before & After Photos

During heavy rains Brett and Sandy’s basement would flood. In order to  waterproof their basement our team installed the WaterGuard system along with TripleSafe and IceGuard.  These three items each play a large role in keeping basements dry. Catching any leakage from higher walls and floors, the WaterGuard system will prevent water from reaching the basement floor. TripleSafe is a sump pump system that is battery powered which will allow Brett and Sandy to not worry about their basement flooding during power outages. Lastly, the IceGuard Sump Pump Discharge Line System allows water to leave even when it is frozen. Installing these three pieces will keep their basement dry no matter what weather their house encounters.

Cara was having trouble with water leaking through her basement walls. Irritated with the water pools invading her space, she gave Ayers a call hoping for a solution. We sent out a crew and our System Design Specialists inspected her basement. They let Cara know our WaterGuard System and TripleSafe Sump Pump System would do the trick!

We first installed our WaterGuard System which is a sub-floor drainage system designed to stop these annoying wall leaks that intrude your home space. This will collect any water and dirt which will then be directed to your sump system. We then installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System which consists of three pumps that fit in one trusty liner that work together to keep water out of your basement. The first pump will be doing most of the work while the second is there for assistance or if the first fails. The final pump is battery-operated meaning it will run during power outages.

Cara was grateful to have a permanent solution installed to tackle her pesky wall water leaks!

Here we can see the damage that large cracks can have on basement walls. It’s very common for cracks like these to appear where plumbing pipes connect and for those cracks to later spring leaks. After noticing the size of these cracks, the owner of this Bellevue, MI home became very worried about his foundation. Once the crew reinforced the wall, they got to work on waterproofing the cracks to guarantee that this type of water damage wouldn’t happen again.

To do so, they used the BrightWall Rigid Panel System. BrightWall panels can be attached in front of almost any wall with plastic drilled-in fasteners, making the installation quick and smooth. Brightwall is made of mold resistant, waterproof material so the water stains seen in the before picture won’t ever appear on the panels. Also part of the BrightWall system is a drainage area that sits at the foot of the wall. Water that leaks through the cracks will flow behind the panels and into the system for discharge. As you can see, not only did BrightWall solve the leaking issue, the white plastic proved to be the perfect component to improve the look of this unfinished basement. 

The homeowners in Bellevue, MI had water leaking into their garage. The water was coming from the two back corners of the garage because of a crack in between where the walls met. Most people would think that a patching mortar or a masonry sealant would get the job done, but unfortunately, this rarely works long term because of the poor adhesion. 

Our FlexiSpan crack repair system will do the job right the first time. FlexiSpan is a three-step process. The first step is to apply a flexible sealant along the full length of the crack. Next, a strip of porous and flexible foam is installed over the crack. Lastly, an impermeable membrane was adhered to the wall on both sides of the foam strip. This treatment allows any future seepage of water through the crack to move invisibly down the wall and into the basements perimeter drainage system. The FlexiSpan crack repair system is flexible enough to move with your wall allowing it to work under all conditions. 

Carissa was concerned with the water leaking into her basement after storms and wasn't sure what the issue was. She was sick of scooping water, so she researched her options and called Ayers to learn about our waterproofing solutions. Our team of experts stopped by her home, assessed the problem, and recommended installing the TripleSafe sump pump. TripleSafe prevents pump failure by providing two backups, one of which is battery-powered in case of outages. Carissa can relax and know her system is working!
