Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

The cracks that were sealed up in the before photo were caused by extra pressure being put on the wall creating an inward bend. This forced wall movement is referred to as bowing and is very common for soils that deal with a lot of rain or snowmelt. To counteract that force, the crew installed the GeoLock Anchor system in the after photo. The wall plate seen in the after photo is one of four. The plates are tied to the anchors with steel tie backs like the one running through the center. Not only will the plates resist the bowing movement, with any luck they may also restore the walls to their original upright position. 

Lori and Richmond have staircase cracks on their basment walls noticed the walls are starting to bow. We installed the PowerBrace Foundation Wall Repair System to makse sure the walls could not move anymore. This system is made up of steel beams that are secured to the joists above the wall with steel brackets. They stop further damage to the walls and could potentially straghten the wall back to the original position. It installs quickly with minimal disruption to your basement.

Liam just moved into his home when he notcied that during heavy rain, a steady stream of water was coming through some cracks in the basement. There was no standing water, it had drained but he didn't want water coming in at all so he called us. We installed CarbonArmor to stabilize the wall. The CarbonArmor System is made up of flexible carbon fiber fabric straps that are up to 10 times stronger in tension than steel. These straps are bonded to the wall using high strength epoxy resin. This system requires no exterior excavation, installs quickly, and won't impact future basement finishing.

This family's home had basement block walls that started to bow and settle. This customer had previous work done with Ayers to stabilize other walls in the basement and had no issues with those walls since. We installed Geolock anchors on the newly bowed walls and tightened the locks on the older anchors. The beauty of this solution is that an Ayers technician can service these anchors by tightening it slowly over time and straightening the walls gradually. 

William’s wall withstood 30 years of bowing and finally started cracking pretty significantly. There were no signs of intruding water yet however it was sure to follow after the crack got deeper and wider. William called our team and we came out and installed GeoLock Wall Anchors. The Geo-Lock Wall Anchor System repairs walls that are sliding inwards, bowing, or buckling. A wall anchor will be installed inside your home and extend outward towards stable, hard-packed soil around your home to anchor it in place. This prevents any further movement permanently and is installed with minimal disruption to your home or your lawn. We can even conceal the anchors with our Hide-A-Way covers for a more finished appearance. Now William's wall will return to standing tall and strong like the day he built the house and intruding water won't be a concern.
