Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Jill's old foundation slab had been cracking over the past 30 years, causing it to pull away from her home. She decided it was time to call for professional help, so she chose Ayers. Our team inspected the problem area and concluded our helical piers were the perfect solution. This system consists of steel and includes a set of helical blades on the lower section of the pier. These piers are installed within the soil mechanically to the appropriate depth required. The pier system creates a solid support base that transfers the weight of her home to strong supporting soils below. Jill was relieved after receiving proper foundation stabilization!

Joseph noticed his stone basement walls had large, deep cracks in them. The voids allowed moisture entry, and he was unsure how to fix the issue, so he called Ayers for help. We sent a team of professionals to his home to examine the space and see what we could do. They suggested Shotcrete, a solution that applies a concrete or mortar wet spray through a high-pressure hose to fill a form or repair damaged surfaces. Joseph loves his new walls!

As Melissa prepared to retire this year, she wanted to eliminate future home maintenance worries, starting with stabilizing her settling garage foundation in Southfield, Michigan. Over time, the foundation had begun to sink, causing cracks and uneven surfaces in the driveway and garage floor. Melissa chose Ayers for a permanent, stress-free solution. Our crew first installed deep foundation supports (helical piers) to lift and secure the sinking structure. Then, we rebuilt and reinforced the worn foundation walls using a high-strength concrete application (shotcrete). With her garage now level and secure, Melissa can move forward in retirement knowing her home is protected for years to come.

Greg's home is over 100 years old and was in serious need of foundational support since his current support beams were starting to twist and crack, so he gave Ayers a call for help. After inspecting the area our crew was able to conclude that he needed SmartJacks for support. SmartJacks will add strength and stability to the foundation as they are steel support columns that will stabilize his home. The support beam will properly lift the home to a level, stable position.

Greg was glad he made the call to ensure the safety of his older home!

Erika and Joshua decided to give Ayers a call because of their block foundation that was bowing. These support issues with their cracking foundation needed to be addressed by professionals. Our crew decided that PowerBrace would be the perfect solution.

PowerBrace will evenly distribute the weight of the house to ensure the foundation is well supported. The Power Braces will prevent their foundation walls from cracking. Over time the system can even be tightened to not only secure the walls in place, but to also straighten them. 

Erika and Josh were thrilled to ensure their home's safety with the PowerBraces in place securing their foundation walls!
