Before & After Photos

Our customer called in need of an egress window installation, with a few caveats. He had already dug the hole, and the window needed to be as big as possible while remaining centered between electrical wiring and duct work. We installed a custom size egress window and well.

When wall starts to leak, it can mean a big mess for your basement - especially if your drywall also begins to rot. That’s why this Georgetown Township, MI customer immediately removed the affected drywall and gave us a call. He had worked with us a few months back, so he was familiar and comfortable with our services. For small wall cracks like these, our crews use FlexiSpan – a two-layer polymer sealant. While one layer plugs the cracks, the other provides a drainage route for any water that does leak through. The owner won’t have to worry about that seepage puddling on his basement floor, though. Below the wall, a drainage system was also installed into the foundation floor to catch any leaking water. Rotting drywall will no longer be a problem in this basement.

This customer has a partially finished basement. Not only do building codes require an additional exit besides the door, but they require an exit  that you can actually fit through. These windows are large enough to be an emergency exit and also add to the nice and finished look of the basement. In addition, it allows more light to enter the basement, making it a more comfortable living space and not feel like a dungeon. Egress windows are sealed  and watertight so that they will not leak. This eases the mind of homeowners so that they will not have to worry about ruined furniture or carpet. 

Michelle recently moved into a new home and realized it didn't have basement windows. For safety reasons, this was concerning, so she researched her options and called Ayers for help. We sent a team of experts to her home to evaluate and recommend a solution. They suggested installing an egress window to provide a safe and quick escape during an emergency. Egress windows are designed to withstand pressure from dirt and water, include stair steps for easy evacuation, and the polycarbonate safety cover reduces surface falls. Michelle loves her new plan!

Discharge lines can seem like a necessary evil. You need to drain water away from your home, but they're so ugly. Also your kids can trip over them, and they make mowing the lawn a nightmare.

But by installing a Lawnscape outlet at the end of your discharge line, you can bury it without the risk of water backing up. And as you can see below, you'll barely know it's there.
