Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

This customers garage wall was cracking and it was continuing to get worse and worse so it was time he got the problem taken care of. Shotcrete is mortar or concrete that is applied as a spray. It is sprayed through a high pressure hose application nozzle. Shotcrete offers the versatility to construct, repair and reinforce walls, bridges, tunnels and other structural elements.

Have you ever noticed the cracking of any concrete or stone walls in your home? Well, those cracks get worse if not treated properly. They can grow and destroy your walls. At this home in Ada, they had a foundation wall that was crumbling so it was very weak. The homeowner called us to receive our professional help. We drive to his home to see for ourselves and this wall was in very bad condition. We knew of a solution that is much cheaper than a full foundation replacement and it is less risky. That solution is called Shotcrete. Shotcrete is a concrete that we spray out of a fire hose on to the preexisting wall to reinforce it and make it as strong as ever before. We start by connecting the old wall to a framework that will help support the concrete being sprayed on the wall. We just build the new wall right on top of the other wall. This has fewer risk than lifting the entire house does and it is quicker and cheaper, making it easy for you. You won't even need to leave your home. Now this homeowner will never have to worry about their foundation ever again.

Brandyn D. had bowed block foundation walls in his basement that allowed moisture and water to seep in through the cracks. This led to mold issues in the basement and the homeowner was looking for a reliable solution. To stabilize the bowed walls and prevent them from shifting or cracking any further, we installed the PowerBrace system. This system held the wall in place and can potentially shift it back to its proper position over time. The steel braces were installed in the floor at the base of the wall and then attached to the joists above the wall. After being secured into place with steel brackets, the beams acted as a brace on the wall to prevent it from shifting out of place. Like dental braces, these braces can pull the wall back to its preferred position.

Matt had a slant in his living room floor and wasn't sure how to fix the problem. As the slant deepened, he knew he needed help, so he called Ayers to learn about our foundation solutions. Our crew of experts visited his home to examine the space and recommended installing the SmartJacks supplemental support system. SmartJacks is a collection of floor jacks hot-dipped in galvanized steel and zinc plated to promote durability. The base of each jack is implanted two feet below the surface to reduce load-bearing stress. Matt loves having a balanced living room! 

Chris noticed his basement walls had large, deep cracks in them. He knew this couldn't be good, so he called Ayers for help. We sent a team of trained specialists to his house to examine his basement and see what we could do. Our experts recommended a wet-spray concrete process called Shotcrete. Shotcreting applies a concrete or mortar wet-spray through a high-pressure hose to fill a form or repair damaged surfaces. Chris was happy to have the cracks in his basement walls sealed up for good!
