Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Dennis called Ayers about solutions to his foundation support troubles he was having. We had a crew come out to his home to inspect these problems and from there we concluded SmartJacks would provide the perfect fix. With SmartJacks, these supplemental support systems address sagging or rotting support beams. These are made up of steel columns, threaded rods, and a solid base. The posts get adjusted to raise the floors to a level position.

Dennis was relieved to get the professional help he desperately needed to ensure the safety of his home!

Henry and Susan's home began presenting structural problems as the floor became un-level. Understanding the home's structural integrity may be at risk, the couple decided to call Ayers to have it looked at. After making an appointment, a System Design Specialist at Ayers went to their home for a thorough assessment. The team at Ayers decided that Helical Piers would be perfect for Henry's and Susan's home. Helical Piers are steel piers that are screwed into the ground. The lower section of the pier has blades that act as a screw when going into the ground. Once the pier is screwed down to the desired height, and into load-bearing soil, the pier is attached to the homes footing with steel foundation brackets. Helical Piers can permanently stabilize a home and bring it back to level in Henry's and Susan's case!

Kalman realized the slanted floor in his den was getting worse. The store-bought floor jacks he installed were sinking along with the house, and he was frustrated, so he researched his options and called Ayers for help. We sent our specialists to his home, and they recommended installing the SmartJacks supplemental support system. SmartJacks are a system of floor jacks hot-dipped in galvanized steel and zinc plated to promote durability. The base of each SmartJack is placed two feet beneath the surface to reduce load-bearing stress. Kalman can't believe how effective his new system is!

Jim P. contacted us because there was a crack in his basement wall and was concerned that during a heavy rainfall there might be water that would come through. The house was built with a block foundation in the 1950's and there is no existing sump pump if water to go leak in.

Our team of experts viewed the situation and realized the wall was actually starting to bow inward. We used our Carbon Fiber straps to fix this problem. Carbon fiber is a very high tensile material that is literally impossible to stretch. The straps are actually glued to the wall and can hold the center of the wall in place so it can't bow anymore. Carbon fiber should not be used if your wall has started to slide in at the top or bottom, but our team will help you figure out the best solution to your problem. 

This Ionia howeowner called us becuase they were worried about their basement walls. There was a horizontal crack across the wall and it was starting to bow. We decided to install GeoLock Anchors to stabilize the wall. The GeoLock system is made of steel. Steel rods are extending from the wall into hard stable soil to brace the foundation. Wall anchors are installed with minimal disruption to your lawn, won't take up usable space in your basement, and is a long lasting solution to hatling movement in your walls.
