Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

These Clarklake homeowners have had a crack in the basement walls since the home was built and the soil was backfilled. It has bothered them ever since but now they thing the crack is slowly getting worse and wanted a solution. We used GeoLock Wall Anchors to halt further movement of the walls. There is minimal disruption to the yard and the anchors do not take up usable space in the basement!

Amanda and Andrew have been through quite a journey after purchasing their new lake home in 2023. After experiencing water intrusion in their crawl space, they took the proactive steps of having a sump pump installed to manage the situation effectively. After the installation of the sump pump in December 2023, knowing it would be their forever home, a place they cherish and plan to pass down to their children, they decided to get the foundation inspected as well a year later. Understandably, they want to ensure the foundation remains stable and secure for the future. Having already invested in some new work, it's concerning for them to notice the area starting to settle. The emergence of new cracks along with existing ones reopening can understandably be worrisome. Amanda even mentioned that certain sides of the home have begun making noises reminiscent of previous issues, adding to their anxiety. With plans to add onto their beloved home, they are rightfully seeking assurance that everything regarding the foundation is solid. Thankfully, with the installation of our SmartJacks support posts in the crawl space, Amanda and Andrew's home is now stable and secure. It's heartening to know that we could help them protect their investment and provide peace of mind as they move forward with their plans.

After a questionable foundation repair to this Cement City, MI home, the owners began to notice that they’re basement didn’t look quite right. There were cracks in the foundation and front porch. Not to mention, both the floors upstairs and porch seemed to be sagging and uneven. In other words, the foundation was starting to settle. The owners wanted to keep their basement separate from the upstairs for a little while longer, so they made a call to the basement and foundation experts, Ayers Basement Systems.

To fix this settling foundation, the crew used SmartJacks. The jacks are usually used to repair the floor above sagging crawl spaces, but thanks to their adjustability, the jacks were perfect for this low basement ceiling. Similar to the installation process for crawl spaces, the SmartJacks were attached to previously installed reinforcement beams in the ceiling and lodged into the concrete slab at floor level. The SmartJacks will reduce the amount of stress on the foundation and stabilize the ceiling back to its original position.

Shane's crawl space lacked the proper support it desperately needed. His floor joists were sagging, so he called Ayers for a permanent solution. We got to work installing SmartJacks since this is a supplemental support system designed specifically for crawl space applications. This solution offers revolutionary foundation support and will prevent the joists from sagging again. SmartJacks get installed by attaching steel support beams to the floor joists and rest on a sturdy base within the ground. Once the crew installs these steel posts, they are adjusted to raise Shane's floors to a level position!

Patrick buy rental properties and recently bought this home in Saint Louis. One of the walls in the basement was starting to bow, had about an inch of movement, and had cracks all over it. He needed a solution that would keep renters and home safe but also last a ling time. We installed the PowerBrace Wall Repair System to stabilize the bowing wall and to potentially straighten it back to the original position. This system installs quickly and is done with minimal disruption.
