Jennifer wanted to complete her basement by adding an Egress Window. Her daughter wanted to move into the basement so Jennifer was looking to get a bigger window that would open up the space. She did some searching online and found that Ayers installs Egress Windows so she gave us a call.
These Egress Windows are much larger than the typical basement window so more natural light and fresh air will fill the room. The most important feature being these windows allow for a safe, quick exit in an emergency situation. This is definitely needed with her daughter wanting to live in the basement. The window will open up her space and make it more inviting for her or any guests that visit.
Jennifer was thankful with the final look of her basement as this Egress Window transformed the room into a regular living space!
Carole had a concrete wall in the basement that was cracked and causing water to seep in. She called Ayers to have an inspection done at her home so she could figure out possible solutions. Our System Design Specialists were able to recommend FlexiSpan from this inspection. FlexiSpan is a solution that has a two-layer sealant process. One layer fills the crack with a polyurethane sealant and the other part we add is a drainage route for the water intrusion to be directed. We place a white panel over the now sealed crack and place a drainage well in the sub-floor below this to catch the water if it permeates. Carole was glad these pesky puddles were finally resolved without a full wall remodel!
Ronald was in the process of finishing his basement. The last step was adding an egress window to make the space more inviting. He called Ayers to begin this installation. Our egress windows are much larger than the average basement window. This addition will brighten the room and allow more fresh air to circulate. The window provides a safe exit option for emergencies that may arise. With this new window, the dark, gloomy feel of the basement is no longer an issue!
Scott noticed his old sump pump wasn't efficiently removing water from his basement, and some had begun leaking onto the floor. He wasn't sure how to fix the problem, so he researched his options and called Ayers to learn about our waterproofing solutions. We sent a team of professionals to examine the space and recommend a solution. They suggested installing the TripleSafe sump pump designed to prevent accidents from pump failure by including three pumps. The first is the primary, followed by a backup, and finally, a battery-powered backup in case of power outages. Scott is happy with his dry basement!
Tammy was worried about the water that would seep into her basement occasionally. She called our professionals at Ayers for possible solutions and we sent a crew to her home for an inspection. Our System Design Specialists concluded from this inspection that she would need our WaterGuard System. This is a drainage system that our experts install below the floor and around the perimeter of the basement. It will collect the water coming into her basement and rather than pooling on the floor, it will be directed to the sump pump. Next, we pour concrete over the drain to conceal it in the floor. Tammy was relieved to finally have these leaks resolved!
