Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Kalamazoo, MI, noticed his porch had begun to sink, causing significant concern. The 35-foot-long porch, originally built with a block foundation and some newer cement reinforcement, wasn’t holding up after he attempted to add a beam and walls to create more space. To stabilize the porch, we installed our SmartJack system, reinforcing the foundation and providing the support needed to prevent further sinking, bringing stability back to the home.

Joel grew concerned with the bowing wall in the basement that needed a permanent resolution. He searched for foundation repair companies nearby and landed on Ayers. After inspecting the basement, our system design specialists recommended our GeoLock wall anchor system. This solution will permanently stabilize this problem wall, offering the best chance to straighten it without the cost and disruption of a foundation replacement. We embed heavy-duty earth anchors in stable soil outside the foundation wall. Each anchor gets connected by a steel rod to a wall plate that provides pressure against the inside of the foundation wall. Joel is relieved with this stable, permanent solution!

Steve just bought a house and was going to fix it up himself but he was concerned about the structural issues. He wanted the issues to be fixed and to give him peace of mind that the house was stable. We installed Helical Piers because they are great for stabilizing and restoring foundations. These piers have fast, year-round istallation so you never have to worry that your home can't get fixed due to the season. The piers can even help lift the foundation back to the original positiion.

The homeowners in Wayland MI, noticed that their floors were sagging. Sagging floors indicate a serious structural problem that will worsen over time. These conditions can make floors unsafe, while also causing unslightly cracks in wallboards and beneath baseboard molding. 

The best solution to adress sagging floors is to install SmartJack posts beneath the beam that supports your foundation. The SmartJacks allow the floor to be raised back to its original level over time. As an added bonus all SmartJack parts are protected from rust with a thick galvanized coating. 

Thanks to SmartJacks the homeowners floor is now well on its way to being fixed! 

A homeowner in Plainwell, MI, faced bowing foundation walls that threatened her home’s structural integrity, especially with an upcoming city sewer project. Ayers installed six GeoLock® wall anchors to stabilize the walls and protect her home from further damage. Now, her foundation is secure, and she can confidently move forward, knowing her home is ready for any challenges ahead.
