Egress Windows Installed in Dowagiac, MI

A customer needed an egress window installed because she had water leaking into her basement. So our team installed an egress window. 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.

Most normal windows offer minimal protection against outside air entering the home due to poor insulation around the window. Also, Egress Windows 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.

WaterGuard System and TripleSafe Prevent Water Intrusion in Dowagiac, MI Basement

Gail gave Ayers a call after concern over water intrusion through her basement walls after heavier precipitation. We sent a crew to check out this area and from there it was settled that she needed our WaterGuard System and TripleSafe Sump Pump System. WaterGuard is the perfect fix as it is a below-floor drainage system that collects water leaking through the walls and directs the flow to the sump pump. TripleSafe is a three pump system that fits in one trusty liner that works together to keep water out. The last pump is even battery-operated so it will run when the power fails.

 

Gail was happy to get this serious issue addressed with a permanent fix!

Repairing Crumbling Foundation in Flint, MI

Roseanne's basement has a block foundation with paneling on the walls. Water damage had caused one section of the wall to begin crumbing onto the floor from behind the paneling. She called Ayers Basement Systems for an inspection and our crew determined that Roseanne would need WaterGuard and a TripleSafe sump pump with IceGuard and an exterior discharge line to waterproof her basement and prevent further damage.  

WaterGuard is a sub-floor waterproofing system that collects water that leaks through the walls and keeps dirt away from the foundation. It is installed along the perimeter of the basement and on top of the footing of the foundation. Concrete is poured on top and regular flooring can be placed on top. The TripleSafe sump pump system utilizes three pumps to remove excess water from the basement. The second and third pumps are in case of emergencies so the basement can remain dry, even when the power goes out. IceGuard is a simple addition to your already existing sump pump. It allows water to escape when the discharge line is frozen and prevents your basement flooding in cold weather. IceGuard is completely automatic, meaning after the initial installation, it’s done. Finally, an exterior discharge line is a drain installed leading to the low point of the property, sending water away from the home. Since the system is inside, there’s no dirt to clog it up and water is discharged effectively via the sump pump. 

Roseanne was thrilled with the work done by Ayers and the professionalism of the crew. She was so excited to get her peace of mind back regarding her home. It was great feeling like she was safe and sound again in her own home now that the foundation wouldn’t continue to crumble.

WaterGuard Prevents Clogs and Leaking Water in Flint, MI

Robert realized water leaked into his basement after the last snowstorm around the seams of the floor and walls. He wasn't sure how to fix the issue, so he researched his options and called Ayers for help. Our specialists stopped by his home to assess the problem and suggest a solution. They recommended and installed WaterGuard, an advanced drainage pipe system designed to prevent clogging by sitting above the home's footing rather than alongside it. Robert loves his dry basement!
