Before & After Photos

Water was leaking into the corners of this basement after heavy rainfalls. The basement already had 3 different floor drains and a sump pump, but they were no longer in use. To keep water out and prevent future puddles, the owners gave us a call.

Water that leaks into basement tends to flow down the walls and puddle at the floor and wall joint. For this exact reason, we install our perimeter drainage system at the foot of basement walls. In the after photo, you can see the gap for the WaterGuard system that permits water to enter the pipes. Since there were drains already in place, the customer asked to have the WaterGuard connected to the storm drain system for discharge. The crew was happy to oblige. Rainfalls will no longer mean the flooding of this basement.

Gracy lacked a sump pump system, allowing water to damage her home's belongings. She called Ayers for waterproofing solutions. Our customer care team spoke with Gracy to set up a time for a free inspection. After the inspection was complete, our System Design Specialists determined our WaterGuard System and TripleSafe Sump Pump System would effectively clean up the water. WaterGuard is a subfloor drainage system placed on the foundation's footing and around the perimeter of the basement walls. This system will ensure water is collected in the drain and directed to the new sump pump we installed next. We conceal the system by pouring concrete over the drain. TripleSafe is a three-pump system fitting in one durable liner and takes care of water intrusion. Now that Gracy's basement is waterproof, she won't have to stress over water damage!

This wall crack had been plaguing this basement for some time now. When it rained, water flowed through the crack and onto the basement floor. The homeowner wondered if there was anything we could do. There was. We had a simple, attractive, and economical solution. It's called FlexiSpan. We put a sealant on the crack. This is just a primary solution but its not permanent so we go a few steps further to make sure the crack never bothers the homeowner again. Next we removed some of the concrete at the base of the crack and dug out a drywell, about 3-5 gallons in size and filled that with stone. The concrete was replaced with the exception of a small gap along the wall so water could run into the drywell that we created beneath the concrete. In cases like this with a nearby sump pump, we may also create hole in the side of the sump well to allow the water to flow into the well and be removed from the home. Finally a thin foam layer and a strip of our durable CleanSpace material is put over the crack to conceal it. The foam allows for an easy flow of water down the wall and into the well. The problem is out of sight and out of mind and it will never puddle on the floor again.

Customers had cold air entering their crawl space so they needed it completely sealed off. Our team insulated their rim joists. Small cracks and seams can exist around rim joists, but after insulating them all of those cracks are sealed off. Now flow is restricted keeping moisture and unwanted allergens out. Therefore, cold air won't be drifting around their house anymore.

Linda gave Ayers a call when she decided to take action to protect her home from any water leaks. Our Ayers Design System Specialist let her know our WaterGuard System would be a great option to protect her belongings in the basement.

The WaterGuard System catches any leakages from higher levels with its drainage system that runs along the perimeter of your basement. It therefore keeps water and dirt away from your foundation and will have concrete poured over top to conceal it. You can add regular flooring over the concrete as well for a finished look.

Linda is relieved to have her basement waterproofed by Ayers!
