Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Our Smart Jack system adds strength and stability to the places where your home needs it most. 

The Smart Jack system replaced the DIY "fix" of using wood blocks to maintain the structure of the home. In general, wood blocks are not a solution, they're a band aid that ignores the real problem. 

Our process creates a solid foundation for the home to sit on. The weight of the home becomes evenly distributed, the steel  beams and columns provide strength, and you no longer need to worry. For more information, check out our photo gallery on this job. 

This couple had just bought there home when they learned that the sagging floors were not mentioned during the home inspection. The floors on the main level of the home were all sagging, some bouncy due to lack of support below them. The new homeowners were concerned and needed help. We installed SmartJacks to stabilize and straighten the floors. The posts are made of steel so they will not rot and can be adjusted at any point to ensure a permanent solution for the home! 

Gloria has lived in her Sand Lake, MI home for about 40 years. She started to notice that several of the walls in her 100-year-old barn had begun to bow about 5 years ago. Recently, she noticed it’s gotten worse and was worried that barn would fall down while she was in Florida for the winter. 

She called Ayers for an inspection and our crew determined that hydrostatic pressure was the main cause of the sever bowing walls. Hydrostatic pressure is a buildup of water pressure in the soil pushing against foundation walls. Years of this has caused the barn walls to collapse in on themselves, bowing the walls overtime. Our crew determined that she would need GeoLock Anchors to stabilize her barn for good. 

GeoLock Wall Anchors permanently stops foundational shifting. The anchors have 3 parts. The first part is a plate on the interior foundation wall. A steel cable is drilled through the plate into the soil directed away from the home. The final part of the GeoLock Anchor is a second plate that is anchored to the other side of the cable. The cables can be tightened overtime for continued maximum stabilization. 

Gloria was ecstatic with the work the Ayers crew did. We were able to help her stabilize the walls of her barn, and keep it standing for another 100 years!

A husband and wife called us about their crawlspace that was wet and gross. We drove to their property to solve the issue. After inspection we decided that CleanSpace technology would be perfect for waterproofing this crawlspace.  CleanSpace is a 20 mil thick plastic liner that fits to the crawl space to completely seal the home from the earth. Polyester cord reinforcement allows for a lot of durability, to make it last longer than the home will. This liner also contains an antimicrobial additive to prevent mold. These homeowners should never worry about their crawl space ever again.

Charles has a finished basement that has been colder than normal lately, so he decided to check for problems. Eventually, he called us for a free quote. Our team determined that it was his basement window that was giving him air flow issues. We recommended an Egress Window installation and Charles agreed. Now he doesn't have to fear going in his chilly basement.
