Before & After Photos

The basement windows in this Lapeer, MI home were outdated, poorly sealed, and not energy efficient. The old windows allowed drafts and moisture into the basement, contributing to discomfort and potential long-term damage. Additionally, the windows did not meet modern safety standards for egress. To fix it we had to replace the old basement window with a new 32x14 vinyl slider window. This new window enhances energy efficiency and seals out drafts while providing better insulation and improved security. The window was installed with a foam sealant around the edges to ensure a tight fit, further enhancing the barrier against external elements. The new installation also meets egress requirements, ensuring safety compliance in an emergency.

Tamara was looking into getting an Egress Window to bring the bedroom down in the basement up to code. She decided to call our Ayers professionals for the job. Our Egress Windows are very beneficial for finishing basements since they are larger which opens up the space more. Oftentimes basements feel like dark dungeons with minimal light coming in, so this will allow more natural light to shine through. These windows are waterproof and come with an exterior well. The main perk is that these windows are much safer since you can easily open and exit through them in the case of an emergency. Tamara has a much more attractive and legally finished basement now!

A customer reached out to us for an estimate on an Egress Window in their basement. The new Egress Window was a much needed improvement from what they had previously. Egress Windows are important to allow natural light into the basement and provides a much cleaner appearance in any basement.

Bryant had ongoing issues with his bowing basement walls and realized he could no longer ignore the evident damage to his walls. You could see the stair step crack on the inside and outside of his home. These cracks follow the mortar lines in a block wall as pressure on the wall increases. Stair step cracks are dangerous because they cover a wide area. This wall was well on its way to collapse without a repair solution. We used CarbonArmor® to stabilize his basement walls. CarbonArmor is a wall reinforcing system with straps made from a fiber-reinforced polymer that is ten times stronger than steel. CarbonArmor® stabilized Bryant's walls and will now protect them from future bowing.

Jennifer was in desperate need of a new waterproofing system that would eliminate the water leaks arising in her basement. After giving Ayers a call we conducted a free inspection of her home. Our System Design Specialists then determined our WaterGuard System and TripleSafe Sump Pump System would solve her issues. The WaterGuard is a subfloor drainage system installed along the perimeter of the basement meant to collect any water leaking through the walls. We conceal this system with concrete and hook it to the sump pump for the water to be directed. Next, we installed TripleSafe, a three-pump system that fits in one durable liner. Each pump is there to ensure Jennifer's basement stays dry!
