Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

This home built in the early 1900’s was having some serious foundation issues. In their michigan basement, the walls were cracking and bowing. To stabilize these walls, our engineers explored every available option before deciding that PowerBraces would work best. This system uses a joint reinforcement method, as zinc coated beams are fixed to the floor joists. The system is tightened over time which gradually improves the condition of the wall, allowing for straightening over time .

Kathy had a bowing wall in her basement so she called our team. We installed the GeoLock Anchor System. This system permanently stabilized Kathy's wall. In most cases it can eventually straighten the wall back to its original position. It is done by putting heavy anchors in stable soil away from your foundation wall. This system is ideal because it involves minimal disturbance to your lawn and home.

Michael had found some cracks in his kitchen and noticed his floors were sagging. Upon inspection, we found that the existing support posts he had were bending a little bit which were causing the issues. We installed the SmartJack Support System. This system is installed by attaching steel support beams to your floor joists and a sturdy base at the floor. Once all posts are installed, they are adjusted to raise your floors to a level position. These posts keep the floor from sagging and keep the cracks from getting worse.

Our customer care team at Ayers answered a call from a homeowner worried about his buckling, noisy floors. Better foundation support in the crawl space was what Carl needed. Our team set up a time for a free inspection of the crawl space so that our professionals could make the best recommendations. Our System Design Specialists ended up recommending SmartJacks. First, with SmartJacks, this supplemental support system is meant for crawl spaces and will support sagging beams and floor joists. It is installed by attaching steel support beams to the floor joists and a sturdy base in the floor. The steel columns can easily be extended and will raise the floors back to a level position once again. This system will correct the creaky, sagging floors that Carl was tired of dealing with!
