Before & After Photos

One of our customers from Leland Michigan gave us a call. She said that her basement was collecting water and she needed help waterproofing it.  We drove to her home and knew just the solution, she did not have a sump pump so we hooked her up with the best one out there, the TripleSafe. TripleSafe is a sump pump with three different pumps in one liner. The first being the 1/3 hp zoeller pump which does most of the pumping and is placed at the bottom of the liner. The second is the 1/2 hp zoeller that is placed slightly higher than the first. This pump is more powerful but will only be turned on when needed. The final pump is the battery-operated UltraSump DC which is used in case of a power outage, this pump can pump up to 24,000 gallons of water. 

Darryl has a seasonal waterfront home that had a water intrusion issue in the basement. Water was coming up from the cracks in the floor and the sump pump was not pumping the water out. We used the WaterGuard to collect the water and send it to a new sump pump. It is installed under the floor so you do not have an unsightly drain in your space. The new sump pump we installed, the TripleSafe, has 3 levels of protection to keep the home dry even if a pump fails or there is a power outage. We also installed the SaniDry XP dehumidifier to dry the space and filter the air. It stands up and can be stored in a corner or closet so that it can stay out of the way in your basement.

Our customer called with multiple cracks in his basement wall. There wasn't much water coming in, but there was some - and that's the right time to fix the crack. Otherwise, water will degrade the concrete as it continues to leak in, further widening the crack and letting even more water in, and so on and so forth.

We used FlexiSpan to seal the crack; FlexiSpan is a flexible sealant that moves with the crack as the wall naturally shifts, keeping it sealed. A small drain in the concrete below the crack keeps water directed away from the basement floor, and the basement stays dry.

Jon had some water intrusion happening through his basement walls so he made the call to Ayers for help. We sent a crew to conduct a free inspection and from this our System Design Specialists determined he needed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System and our Basement to Beautiful Panels. First with TripleSafe, this three pump system will keep this water off his belongings. The first pump doing most of the work, the second there for backup, and the third is battery-operated for power outages. Then we added Basement to Beautiful Panels because these are great for insulation and are made of inorganic material that won't grow mold or bacteria. Jon's basement is now protected and has never looked better!

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.
