Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Harry P. slowly felt his home beginning to sink. Wanting to address the problem before it had the chance to get any worse, he gave us a call. Upon assessing Harry’s support system, we found the current distance between his homes supports to be too large. Our team members recommended the installation of six Smart Jacks between the current supports. The Smart Jack is a supplemental support system for crawl space applications. The Smart Jack effectively supports sagging beams and floor joists caused by, a length of span greater than spanning capability, floor load increased after construction, exceeding design values, and weakening over time due to high moisture and rot. We are so thankful for the opportunity to provide a permanent solution to the problem our new friend in Prudenville, MI faced. With this support solution in place, Harry’s foundation is the strongest its ever been.

Bruce was struggling with an inefficient support system in his crawl space so he called Ayers to get this problem fixed up right away. We had a crew come to his home for an inspection where it was decided he needed SmartJacks. These are steel tubes that are great support systems to be applied in crawl space applications. They are installed by attaching these steel support beams to his floor joists and a sturdy base at the floor. They will also raise his floors to a level position after adjustment. 

No more worrying about the safety and support of his home!

Cheryl recently noticed the outside walls of her apartment were cracking and didn't want them to cave in. As the property manager, she knew this needed fixing, so she researched and called Ayers for help. We sent a team of professionals to the complex to evaluate, and they recommended installing GeoLock wall anchors. The wall anchors are made of galvanized steel and fastened to the compromised wall. A ground anchor is placed away from the house in undisturbed soil and connected to the wall anchor by a steel rod. Cheryl is relieved to have a stable wall!

Bruce noticed the floor in his living room had a slight slant. It wasn't causing him too much trouble, but he didn't want the problem to worsen, so he called Ayers. A team of specialists stopped by his home and recommended SmartJacks. Designed to be far sturdier than store-bought floor jacks, SmartJacks are hot-dipped in galvanized steel and zinc-plated to ensure they last with the house. Bruce can't believe how level his living room floor is!

A crack in the garage foundation was the reason behind the call from these Grass Lake, MI customers. The before photo shows the crack running vertically down the garage from the outside, but the damage of the spreading foundation wall could be seen on to the inside of the garage as well. Having already used our services for foundation repairs in the past, they knew they could trust us for this job as well.

To seal these cracks permanently, the crew used our CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcement system. Based on the innovative technology of aerospace engineers that is now used to support bridges, skyscrapers, and bomb shelters, CarbonArmor strips are a fast repair product that offers both a permanent solution and peace of mind. Once the soil was excavated, the wall cleaned and a high strength epoxy resin applied, the strips were placed over the crack to pull the wall together and keep it that way. After giving the strips time to dry, the crew replaced the soil that missing in the after photo and assured these customers that their damaged foundation problems were over for good.
