Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A customer had a wall bowing in his basement so he called our team. In order to secure his wall we installed PowerBrace, a foundation repair system. It was created to secure basement walls in place and overtime it will straighten them. Often outside pressures can cause your basement walls to crack or tilt, this foundation repair system counteracts these pressures by keeping your basement walls in place. Over time, the system can be tightened to not only secure the walls in place, but to also straighten them.

Sindy called us saying that a corner of her house was falling down. She noticed cracks around the house and counters coming away from the wall. The wooden supports in her crawl space were old and not providing the strength and support that the home above needed. In their place, we were able to install a series of SmartJacks. These jacks are made from a zinc-coated steel making them incredibly strong and resistant to corrosion. They are also adjustable and provide the best opportunity to lift the home back into its original position. Sindy can now worry less about new cracks and start enjoying her home more.

Nathan has a cottage that is used during the summer. This past summer he noticed cracks around the home, his floors were not level, and there was some problems with opening doors. We used Helical Piers to stabilize and lift the foundation back to the correct level. We used SmartJacks to stabilize and level the floors. These both have year-round, quick installation so you can get a permanent solution at any time!

Kathy was in need of foundational support for her bowing basement wall to ensure her home stays safe. She discovered that Ayers provides foundation solutions so she gave us a call. Our team concluded from the free inspection we conducted that she would need our PowerBrace solution.

With PowerBrace installed, this will correct the bowing concrete wall in her basement. Outside pressures are typically the main culprit that cause these basement walls to crack or tilt. This system will not only secure Kathy's wall in place, but it will also straighten the wall over time. The PowerBrace consists of steel beams that stretch the length of the wall and are installed in the floor at the base of the wall then are attached to the joists above the wall.

Now Kathy doesn't have to worry about her bowing wall getting worse with this long-lasting solution!

This Grand Rapids home has some stairstep cracks on the basement walls and the owner is worried that the support is weak. We used CarbonArmor to support the wall and make sure more cracks don't get worse. The CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System is made up of carbon fiber fabric straps, that are stronger in tension than steel, and the straps are bonded to the wall with an epoxy resin. The straps will stabilize the wall and the best part is that the system requires no exterior excavation and won't impact future basement finishing.
