Jesse and Linda wanted to turn their basement into a finished basement space. So they called our team and we installed an egress window and well. 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.

Looking to tranform your dark and damp basement? Egress windows are the perfect long-lasting solution. Egress windows are swapped with your old, tiny windows to provide a functional replacement. 

Our installation process is quick and will leave you with a window that provides an excellent source of natural light and access to fresh air. The beautifully crafted window is placed in a well that is surrounded by galvanized tin and personalized steps to provide a safe and efficient way to escape any emergency situation.

Springtime is quickly approaching and with the well anticipated season comes dust, pollen and allergies. However for those dreading the spring, you no longer have to. At Ayers Basement Systems our goal is to help make your home a comfortable environment for years to come.

Many homeowners are not satisfied with their crawl space area. Typically they’re damp, musty, filled with miscellaneous debris and lack proper ventilation ー all ingredients fueling a recipe for disaster. 

However, at Ayers Basement Systems we take pride in mastering the art of crawl space encapsulation and waterproofing. In the case of Jennifer M.’s damp Potterville crawl space, the solution was simple: Clean Space Vapor Barrier System. 

First, we sealed all of the doors and vents so that outside air and humidity was no longer able to sneak in. Next we installed a crawl space drain and sump pump system. When combined, the drain and sump pump eliminates and removes any flooding water. Lastly, the area is encapsulated with our Vapor Barrier liner, a thick, durable liner that traps all other moisture in the air and ground. Without moisture, your crawl space will become smell-free and fungi-free.

After following all of the steps above we were able to completely transform Jennifer’s debris-filled, moist crawl space into a dry, ideal one. 

Looking for ways to cut your electricity bill? If your basement walls are surrounded by those tiny, virtually useless windows consider having them replaced with egress windows. Their large frame provide over 50% more sunlight than the original windows, allowing you to cut back on the electricity used to light the area. Other benefits include access to fresh air, emergency exit capabilities, and an increase in home value.

Now the space is bright and airy and there aren’t any leaks coming from the egress window.
