Over time, basement windows can collect dirt and debris. If you have a window like this, a SunHouse Window Well could protect your basement from future damage. This cover fights against any leaks from rain and snow, small pests and rodents getting to your window, and ensures your window stays clear allowing sunlight to enter your basement.
Musty smells were drifting into a homeowner’s home from his crawl space. Small cracks and seams can exist around rim joists, so our team insulated them. After insulating them all of those cracks are sealed off. Now airflow is restricted keeping outside air out and inside air in. This homeowner will no longer have to worry about musty smells coming from his crawl space.
A customer needed an egress window installed in his basement because he wanted to turn part of it into a livable space. So he called our team and we installed one, egress windows are required because they are big enough to provide a safe exit in case of emergency. In addition, 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.
Herman was looking to get an Egress Window to replace his current small basement window in his basement, so he called Ayers. We had our team set up an appointment and we started the installation process. With an Egress Window Herman will have a safe exit in his basement in the event an emergency takes place and it is even waterproof so he won't have to worry about water seeping in. They are much larger than the typical small windows in most basements which allows for more natural light and fresh air to fill the room.
Herman was grateful to get his tiny basement window replaced with a more attractive and safe window!
One of the reasons basements have windows is an emergency exit. But would you want to try to shimmy your way through this home's old window? In addition to a waterproofing system (photos coming tomorrow), we installed a new, less frightening, window.
