Before & After Photos

The window in the before photo leads to a basement bedroom. After recently purchasing the home, the new owner requested our services to install a replacement window that would brighten up the room. The egress windows in the after photo do just that. As you can see when comparing the photos, the new window is much larger and lets in a lot more light. The window extends below the grade while the inorganic plastic well protects it from groundwater or other elements. Egress windows are the perfect way to compliment any basement bedroom.

Basements can get nasty -- that's a known fact. Add water to the equation? You're in trouble. To fix the appearance that water damage has done to this Traverse City family's basement walls, we installed our patented BrightWall basement wall panels. BrightWall's bright white color maximizes the available light in your basement clean-looking space. BrightWall is also completely waterproof and washable, and is built to block out water vapor and humidity. No more worrying about moisture and mold in your basement with this clean look!

A homeowner called us looking to install an Egress replacement window. An Egress window is amazing to allow natural light to come in. The window also protects from the elements and water. An egress window is large enough to allow safe exit out of the basement due to an emergency. Another satisfied customer! 

Over time, many basements experience shifts in foundation due to natural dirt and settlement movement. This can lead to bowing and curved walls which leads to an unsafe foundation of the home. The Steel I-beams installed in this basement will work to counteract this movement. The PowerBrace system is unique as it can be tightened to help return the walls to their original, straight position. The beams are attached from the ceiling to the floor foundation and the beams are resistant to corrosion and rust. 

The homeowners in Traverse City, MI had a crawl space door that was made of wood. Having a door made of wood can lead to problems for you and your crawl space. The wood could warp or crack because of weather causing you to need to replace it more frequently than you would prefer. Another problem with the wood door is that it fits loosely enough to let insects, rodents and fridgid winter air into your crawl space. The door can also let leaves, debris and water into the crawl space leaving you with a mess. 

Thankfully, Ayers Basement Systems has a solution to this problem. The Turtl crawl space access well.
