Egress Window Installation Transforms Basement in Burton, MI Into a Regular Living Space

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!

FlexiSpan Seals Basement Wall Crack Causing Water Intrusion in Burton, MI Home

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!

SmartJacks Correct Sagging Floors in Burton, MI Home

Patrick realized his floors were uneven due to his lack of foundation support in his crawl space so he called Ayers for our repair solutions. After we conducted an inspection we were able to agree on installing our SmartJacks. These are steel, adjustable columns that provide foundation support. This repair system will lift the floors to their original positions and can be extended over time for better support. The steel columns were attached to a steel supplemental beam above and and they rest on a solid base installed in the sub-floor. This solution will provide Patrick's foundation with strength and stability!
