Cindy and Hector purchased their Brooklyn, Michigan home about a year ago and the basement has already flooded twice. Water would come in where the floor met the wall and saturated the ground. They want to be able to use the basement for additional storage, but didn’t want their belongings to be destroyed by water. The couple called Ayers and one of our competitors for inspections. Based on our longstanding reputation of professionalism and quality service, Cindy and Hector decided to go with Ayers. Our crew would install WaterGuard in their basement to permanently solve the problem.
WaterGuard is a sub-floor waterproofing system that collects water that leaks through the walls and keeps dirt away from the foundation. It is installed along the perimeter of the basement and on top of the footing of the foundation. Concrete is poured on top and regular flooring can be placed on top. These before and after photos show what WaterGuard looks like in the floor, and what it looks like after the finishing concrete has been poured.
Cindy and Hector were so glad to be able to finally complete moving into their new home. The couple no longer has to worry about sopping up water and can just enjoy their home together.
Rodney's home was in the process of being built and as part of that process, he was hoping to get a waterproofing system to keep his home dry. He trusted Ayers to do the job right, so he gave us a call. We set up a time for a free inspection and from there, our crew determined our WaterGuard System combined with our TrenchDrain would work great. The WaterGuard System is a subfloor drainage system that will collect water seeping in and direct the leaks to the sump pump. This is placed along the perimeter of the basement and on top of the footing of the foundation to prevent any clogging issues. Then we installed our TrenchDrain which is perfect for doorway entrances where water leaks arise. This product consists of a grated opening on top of a basement drainage pipe installed in the subfloor. Any water that passes over the system will fall through the grated openings and be directed to the sump pump. Rodney was satisfied with these waterproofing systems that keep his new home well-protected!
Robert's concerns grew when the water damage in his basement appeared more noticeable. He called Ayers for our years of experience in waterproofing solutions. Our system design specialists inspected the water intrusion and determined our WaterGuard system would resolve these issues. This interior draiange system rests in the subfloor of the basement below the wall. This placement ensures water that seeps through is collected and directed to the sump pump rather than the floor. We pour concrete over the drain to conceal it. Robert is grateful for his permanent solution!
The homeowners had water coming into their basement through the floors. The water was getting so bad that it started pooling on the floor and damaging it.
Our professional team decided that the existing sump pump was not enough. They installed the TripleSafe sump pump to combat the water. The TripleSafe has three sump pumps in one so you have triple protection! The first pump will remove water from your home effectively. The second pump has a seperate discharge line and is more powerful. The second pump is there for you in the rare ocassions that you need it. The third pump is equipped with batteries and is there for you if the power goes out.

The Cruz family used their basement extensively to do laundry, watch sports and as a playroom. Their broken tile floor in the basement was not just an eyesore, but constantly allowed water in. The family decided to not just replace their floor with waterproofed elite plank in dark mocha. Our flooring is inorganic and waterproof, which means no more mold.
