Before & After Photos

Mark and Susan are preparing to make their Michigan lake house their full-time home on Garver Lake. Wanting to ensure the home was safe and structurally sound before the move, they reached out to Ayers for help. We installed SmartJack® support posts to stabilize their sagging floors and encapsulated the crawl space with CleanSpace® vapor barrier, sealing out moisture and improving air quality. Mark and Susan can look forward to a worry-free transition into lake life with these permanent solutions.

Toby's basement lacked a sump pump, making it susceptible to water leaks. He called our team at Ayers, so we sent a crew to determine the best pump. We recommended our TripleSafe sump pump system for triple protection. The first pump will eliminate most of the water, the second is for backup as needed, and the third is battery-operated. With the battery-operated pump, he will never have to worry about it not working during power outages. Toby's basement will stay protected from heavy volumes of water during downpours!

This homeowner gave us a call after working to finish his basement. In order to qualify his basement room as a bedroom, he needed to add an egress window that could double as an emergency exit. We were able to determine a sufficient location for the window and expertly install it. In the end, the window turned out great!

A customer had foundation issues which was causing water to enter his basement through his window. Most windows offer minimal protection against outside air and moisture entering the home due to poor insulation around the window. Egress windows help ventilate your indoor areas and prevent unwanted allergens from entering your house.

You can see the stark difference an egress window makes in this Michigan City, MI home. Egress windows bring in light to an otherwise dark basement. Egress windows are also required by law in any basement bedroom to allow for an easy escape in case of an emergency. These windows are also keep cold air and water out.
