Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A finished basement deserves a finished look. The old, rusted metal window well that was attached to this basement was anything but that. It’s a bit of an eye sore on the outside, and from the inside perspective, the window was failing to at its one job – letting light in. Small rectangular windows don’t allow for much light in the first place, couple that with half the window being buried below ground, and it’s no wonder that the window was struggling. So when these Granger, IN customers called asking about a replacement window for their finished basement, we sent a system design specialist out to explain our egress window systems. Instead of the metal well used in the before photo, the crew installed one of our plastic EverLast wells because the plastic material won’t rust away from water. Another great perk is the size of the well and window much bigger, meaning more sunlight can enter the basement and the lid will actually fit this time around. 

Elizabeth K. contacted us because they wanted to take a small window in their basement and remove it to install a large egress window. This home was built in the 90's when egress windows weren't required but now you must have one in every room in the basement that is liveable. The window must also be large enough for a person to escape in case of an emergency. We were able to remove the small window and install this large 4' X 4' egress in this basement so now the family can be relieved knowing that there is an escape route in case ever needed. 

Our Customer Elizabeth K. wanted to replace her submarine like basement window. Unfortunately, customers often don’t realize that basement companies should be installing any basement windows. Ayers has the knowledge and expertise to make sure your windows are secured and sealed and will not allow water to leak into your home. In addition, egress windows allow for an additional exit out of your basement, that you can actually fit through,  in the case of an emergency.

We received a call from a customer in Granger, Indiana about his basement, he was experiencing wet walls so we gave him a free estimate and then decided to install WaterGuard technology among many things. The WaterGuard is the pipe that runs water underneath the floors. This system runs on top of the footing instead of alongside it. The WaterGuard has a big drain outlet to the sump. It also has a built in tiny gap between the floor and the wall so that it can drain any wall leaks.  This system is designed not to clog by having holes in case of debris clogging the pipe. The WaterGuard collects the water from drains in the basement.

A homeowner wanted our team to install an egress window and well in her home. 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.
