Before & After Photos

Jason and Tsana wanted to install an Egress Window Well in their basement to allow it to be a finished living space. Egress Windows provide a safe exit in case of emergency so they are required in finished basement living areas. In addition to having a safe exit in your basement, these windows provide lots of natural light. Lastly, most windows offer minimal protection against outside air entering the home due to poor insulation around the window. Egress windows will help ventilate your indoor areas and prevent unwanted allergens from entering your house.

Water was entering a homeowner’s crawl space so he called our team to discuss encapsulation options. We installed SilverGlo, a set of waterproof foam panels. This system is used on the walls of your crawl space in order to insulate it. Uninsulated crawl spaces cost you money each year by increasing your heating and cooling bills. SilverGlo blocks all moisture and is made of inorganic material which prevents mold, rot or mildew from forming. Overall, it will keep this homeowner’s crawl space dry and insulated which will save him lots of money over the years.

Two homeowners wanted an egress window and well installed in their home. So our team installed both to prevent water from entering their home. Most windows offer minimal protection against outside air entering the home due to poor insulation around the window. Egress windows will help ventilate your indoor areas and prevent unwanted allergens from entering your house. Also, these products provide a safe exit in case of emergency so they are required in finished basement living areas. In addition these windows provide lots of natural light.

Cindy wanted to install an egress window in her basement. She contacted our team at Ayers Basement Systems to have the window installed! An inspection determined where the window would go and what Cindy wanted to be installed. Lastly, the Ayers crew got to work with the installation! Cindy was thrilled with how the project turned out!

In order to stabilize these walls, we installed Power Braces. These beams are installed against the wall and uses a joint reinforcement method to distribute the weight evenly. Tightened over time, these beams gradually improve the condition of the wall over time, and their zinc coating makes them resistant to corrosion.

To collect the water from the walls, DryTrak was installed. This system is best for monolithic slabs that include a foundation wall footing, and is designed to work with the sump pump. The drainage channel is sealed with a special adhesive to the floor, and a small space is left along the wall to allow wall leaks to drain directly into the channel. The water is collected and then rerouted to the sump pump, which will pump the water out of the basement and away from the home through a discharge line.

PowerBraces help improve the foundation walls over time to prevent future wall leaks, while DryTrak keeps the leaks under control in the basement of this Culver, MI home.
