Before & After Photos

The Before picture shows just how badly water was entering the basement when it would rain or the snow would melt. The homeowners were tired of dealing with this and were ready for a solution. Our team visited the home and got right to work installing the WaterGuard system. This sub-floor drainage system works to collect water from wall leaks and reroute it to the sump pump to be discharged from the basement. Special piping is laid on top of the footing of the foundation, instead of along, so it won’t get clogged with dirt or mud. WaterGuard ensures that all leaks are taken care of ASAP, so they don’t make their way to the rest of the basement.

 Water can cause a lot of damage in a basement -- not only structural damage, but also damage that is clearly visible. That's why this Lansing, MI family had us install our patented BrightWall basement wall panels. BrightWall is a plastic sheeting that's attached to your basement wall by drilled-in plastic fasteners. Its bright white color opens up your basement for a space that you'll want to be in. BrightWall is completely waterproof and washable, preventing the passage of water vapor and humidity into your basement. No need to worry about these panels ever rotting or collecting mold! 

This home in Lansing, MI had water issues in the basement. As our name suggests, here at Ayers we have solutions for those issues. We visited this home and decided it was a perfect candidate for the WaterGuard system. This subfloor drainage system consists of specially designed piping that is laid on top of the footing of the foundation. The piping is covered with concrete, except for a small opening where the floors meet the wall. This space allows wall leaks to drain into the whole, so the pipes can carry the water to the sump pump. In addition to a large inlet hole to collect water from WaterGuard, SuperSump has a sturdy liner with holes that also accept water from the ground. This sump pump pumps the water out of the basement and directs it away from the home through a discharge line.

Kasey and Iris recently had a child and noticed that their basement walls were cracks, allowing water to enter. During heavy rain, however, they found that some areas showed heavy water intrusion. To keep the home dry, clean, and maintain the property value, they wanted a waterproofing system that will last. We installed the WaterGuard French drain, the TripleSafe sump pump, SaniDry XP dehumidifier, and the IceGuard for a waterproofing system to fit their needs!

Victoria contacted Ayers as there seemed to be water pooling up by a specific wall in her basement. A System Design Specialist with Ayers inspected her home and determined water was leaking through the walls. Thus, the team at Ayers suggested installing WaterGuard in addition to the SuperSump Plus.

WaterGuard is an internal drain system installed along the wall and between the home's footing and the basement floor. This drain system catches any water coming into the basement through the walls and funnels that water into the sump pump, eliminating any problems.

In addition, since Victoria did not have a sump pump, she opted to install SuperSump Plus. The SuperSump is a sump pump system that houses a powerful pump that efficiently pumps water out of the house on any occasion! After everything was installed, Victoria no longer needed to worry about water issues inside her home!
