A 1992 home needed an update for its egress window. The original egress was dated, drafty, retained water close to the home, and lacked a proper exterior covering. Our foreman swiftly went to work and installed a replacement window, a galvanized steel well, and an exterior window cover. The customers were relieved knowing they wouldn't have to worry about water seeping in through the window anymore.
A dirty, musty Elkhart basement received an unwanted host of spiders in the crawl space. A 1970s home's unsealed crawl space was letting in water and unwanted pests, mainly spiders. Upon inspection, our systems specialist did not find mold but noticed a heavy smell of mildew, indicating there were cracks that needed to be sealed because insects and moisture were seeping in. The cracks were likely due to the home's unstable foundation. Helical piers were set in place (not pictured) to restore the home to a stable foundation. A vapor barrier was then installed in the crawl space to eliminate moisture and points of entry for spiders.
A new homeowner in East Lansing, MI, wanted to enhance their recently purchased property by installing an egress window. Before the installation, the basement felt cramped and lacked natural light, making it less inviting. More importantly, the absence of an egress window posed safety concerns in the event of a fire, limiting escape routes.
We installed an egress window to address these issues, transforming the basement into a more functional and brighter space. This upgrade provides an emergency escape plan and adds valuable living space to the home. The homeowners can now enjoy a safer, more welcoming basement that enhances their new property's overall value and comfort.
Egress window was needed to brighten up a basement and increase the safety of the home.
