Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Bob was experiencing a major foundation issue with the corner of his front porch. The corner of the porch was slowly sinking for quite sometime, but recently had accelerated sinking. Our professional foundation team stepped in and installed a few piers around the porch in order to help support and lift the corner back into position. The Helical Piers are the piers that we used in this project. To install the piers, we excavated a small hole around the outside of the porch to expose the home's footer. We then drill long steel piering shafts into the ground until they reach competent soil that can reliably support the weight of the home. This allows for the corner to be put back in its original position. The fix is permanent and incredibly reliable!

David owns a commercial building, and the basement has a water intrusion issue. The water has come into the basement about four times in the past couple of years and covers about a quarter of the floor. Their drain system was not working, so they were sucking up the water with a shop vac. We used the WaterGuard Below Floor Drain to collect the water and send it to the sump pump to be discharged outside. We also installed a new sump pump to keep the water out. The TripleSafe provides three levels of protection from water, even in cases of a power outage or a pump malfunction. 

Albert's old home in Olivet had a collapsing foundation wall in need of a support system to protect the safety of his home. He trusted Ayers for the job, so he gave us a call. Our team concluded that SmartJacks were required to prevent the wall collapse. First, our team had to remove part of the stones that made up this wall to create room for the steel jacks. The tube steel used for SmartJacks consists of a strong triple-layer, in-line galvanizing coating. This foundation repair solution can support loads over 60,000 pounds, and the steel columns rest on a sturdy base within the ground. Albert feels confident with the new foundation support he desperately needs!

This homeowner called because the wood foundation located below the sunroom in his home was sinking. To immediately stabilize the foundation and lift the room back to its original position, we installed Helical Piers. 

To start this installation, we first removed soil outside of the foundation wall that was deep enough to place the piers in stronger soil below the home. The piers were then placed under the base of the foundation wall and were drilled deep into the ground. This system immediately stabilized the sunroom by transferring the weight of the foundation to the pier and to the stable soil below the home. 

Carl D. will now have a stabilized and leveled sunroom thanks to this fast and effective pier installation. 

These Mulliken homeowners have a very big water problem in their basement. The water even flows across the floor as well as along the wall. We installed the WaterGuard system to keep the water out of the basement. The drain is under the floor and collects the water that seeps in. The water is then drained to the new sump pump, the TripleSafe, that we installed. The TripleSafe offers three levels of protection to the homeowner. In cases of power outages or some levels malfunctioning, the sump will continue to work and keep the basement try.
