Windows can give a basement a more homey and comfortable look while brightening up the space. But it's not all fun and games...poorly installed windows can lead to huge air leakages causing bills to skyrocket, as well as potential future water problems.
We installed a window for homeowners in Marshall, MI that is energy efficient and rot and mildew-resistant. It will keep warm air in in the winter and cool air in in the summer, something we all know is necessary for the weather conditions we get here in Michigan. Nothing like a little natural light to quickly improve a basement and make it more inviting!
The customer experienced basement flooding and we helped the family waterproof their semi-finished basement. We installed our complete WaterGuard perimeter drainage system and a TripleSafe sump pump. The family wanted to complete the process of finishing their newly waterproofed basement. They opted for our ThermalDry Elite Plank Flooring system giving this family peace of mind that their nice flooring will not be ruined by water damage.
Water is entering Scott’s basement through his basement floor. He does not have a working sump so he called our team to help waterproof his basement. We installed TripleSafe and SaniDry and a few other systems to fully waterproof his basement. TripleSafe is a sump pump system that is battery powered which will allow Scott to not worry about his basement flooding during power outages. The SaniDry XP Basement Dehumidifier never needs to be emptied because the water drains automatically. Also, it is ten times more powerful than typical dehumidifiers. Installing these pieces will keep Scott’s basement dry no matter what weather his house encounters.
Our customer wanted to sell a home that was passed down from her father, but wanted to increase the value. She called Ayers for an inspection and our crew determined that some new and improved basement windows would accomplish the customer's goal.
Our EverLast basement windows are designed to help make your home more energy efficient and safe. They are framed with vinyl, instead of the more common metal or wood, so it won't rust or rot. They have a tight seal so unwanted drafts of air and rain are unable to get in the home.
The customer was ecstatic to be able to get a little bit more when selling the home, and we home the new homeowners love them too!
Barbara was looking for exterior solutions for her discharge lines so she called Ayers for professional help. After a free inspection was conducted it was determined she needed IceGuard and LawnScape Outlet. With IceGuard this will prevent the freezing or clogging of the exterior discharge lines with its antifreeze fitting that has slotted openings that eject water away from the foundation. Then LawnScape Outlet was added to the end of the line as an underground extension that blends into the yard and expels downspout water.
Barbara was glad to make her home safer with these installations to her discharge lines!
