Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

This customer called us because the wall in his basement was literally bowed in. A lot of people don't realize the pressure that soil puts on the foundation walls. Overtime the pressure of the soil outside the basement can cause your walls to bow, crack or push inward which can be a very serious problem.

Our team of experts installed our Carbon Fiber straps to fix the bowing wall. These straps are almost impossible to stretch and therefore can be glued to block walls to keep the center of the wall in place. These straps are also a great option is there is limited room for digging outside the home or inside the home. We do not suggest this item if your basement walls have started to slide in at the top or bottom though.

Frank's living room floor was slanted for as long as he could remember. He tried buying store-bought floor jacks, which only worked briefly. He became frustrated with the problem, so he researched his options and called Ayers for help. Our crew of experts visited his home and decided the SmartJacks supplemental support system was the best solution. SmartJacks are a system of floor jacks that are far more durable and anchored two feet underneath the surface to increase load-bearing capability. Frank can't believe how level his living room is!

Josh's front porch is shifted and it is moving away from the home. The brick column at the edge of the porch is cracking and the area around it is settled. Josh is worried that the porch will pull on the house and make more issues than there already is. We helped them out by installing Helical Piers which can have sections added to reach the hard soil it anchors into. The pier will stabilize the porch as well as possibly returning it to the original position. The pier system has fast year-round installation too so the homeowners will not be disturbed. 

We received a call from some homeowners from Grand Rapids that was having issues with their squeaky floorboards, so we drove to their home to see for ourselves. After inspection we decided to install our advanced SmartJack system.  The SmartJack is a support system used to stabilize and level the floor joists in a crawl space. This system can support up to 60,000 pounds. The SmartJack system is placed on strong concrete fillings that have replaced the soil in that small location underneath the SmartJack. Now this homeowner will not have to worry about bad floors ever again.

Marcy was sick of the foundation crack that was causing her all sorts of trouble like water leaks. She made the right call talking to Ayers and getting an appointment set up. After an inspection we went forward with installing CarbonArmor and our CleanSpace Wall System to address these issues. First with Carbon Armor these carbon fiber straps will fix the bowing wall by preventing further inward movement. Then with the CleanSpace Wall System this will cover these foundation walls and act as a vapor barrier to combat excess vapor or moisture with its poly sheet material. 

Marcy was happy to get these serious issues resolved before they jeopardized the safety of her home!
