Trevor noticed water pooling on the floor in his basement. Knowing this was an issue, he called Ayers to learn more. We sent a team of specialists who recommended he install the Triple Safe sump pump system. TripleSafe prevents pump failure and leaking water by including a primary pump, backup, and battery-powered sump in case of power outages. Trevor is relieved to be confident in his dry basement!
The customer contacted us with a story we've heard many times in the past - a damp, dank, musty crawl space was a thorn in their side. It was also vented, which should never happen. Think about it - how can you control the environment in a crawl space if there's a VENT?
We installed the CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system with drainage matting and vent covers, and placed a SaniDry in the crawl space to keep the humidity down.
Cinder block walls in crawl spaces are known for their lack of water and air resistant properties. Their porous and leaky features lead to water seeping in which was what we found in this Marshall, MI crawl space.
With CleanSpace wrapped around the walls, this liner will act as a vapor barrier to keep moisture out of the house. CleanSpace is durable and mold resistant and transformed this area from wet to dry.
Paul complained that his basement was a little drafty. He noticed that draft was coming from the basement window. We helped by installing our EverLast windows. EverLast windows are energy-efficient and all vinyl windows. They are double-pane glass, will not let any wind in, and are rot and mildew-resistant.
Windows can give a basement a more homey and comfortable look while brightening up the space. But it's not all fun and games...poorly installed windows can lead to huge air leakages causing bills to skyrocket, as well as potential future water problems.
We installed a window for homeowners in Marshall, MI that is energy efficient and rot and mildew-resistant. It will keep warm air in in the winter and cool air in in the summer, something we all know is necessary for the weather conditions we get here in Michigan. Nothing like a little natural light to quickly improve a basement and make it more inviting!
