Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

After recently buying a home, Carlyn realized some foundational problems. The brick foundation walls were bowing and cracking, and the home's integrity was questionable. Carlyn reached out to Ayers to find a solution. After an assessment of her home, the team at Ayers suggested Shotcrete.

Shotcrete is concrete or mortar that is sprayed through a high pressures hose onto a wall or surface; thus sticking and creating structural support. Shotcrete can stabilize foundation walls that are failing through the distribution of weight and pressure. One applied the brick foundation in Carlyn's home was stabilized!

Walt had a wall in his crawl space that was starting to bow due to the soil surrounding the home pushing on the wall. The wall has moved a lot within the past 6 months causing the bowing to get worse. He installed some temporary support for the wall until he could find a permanent solution that will keep his home safe. We installed the GeoLock Wall Anchors to keep the wall from moving further as well as help to return the wall to the correct position. They work by using the hard and stable soil beyond the home to stabilize the wall. They do not damage the wall or take up space and they are installed with minimal disruption to the lawn.

Lynette needed solutions to tackle the foundation issues she was running into that were causing her block foundation wall to start bowing. She made the call to Ayers for our foundation repair options. Our System Design Specialists determined GeoLock Anchors would work best after conducting a free inspection. GeoLock Anchors have an interior anchor plate that sits on the inside of the foundation wall. Then a steel cable is drilled through the plate, the wall, and the soil to a predetermined distance from the home. Lastly, another plate is anchored to the other end of the cable in stable soil. This system will prevent further bowing caused by soil pressure. Lynette was relieved to have a foundation repair system installed that will keep her home safe!

Kyle was concerned the cracks in his basement walls would lead to more severe damage. He wasn't sure how to fix it himself, so he called Ayers. Our specialists visited his home and recommended the Supportworks GeoLock wall anchor system for his problem. Wall anchors are heavy-duty, galvanized earth anchors built to be placed in solid soil. A steel rod connects the ground anchor to the wall anchor securing the wall. Kyle is excited to have a stable basement wall!

Adriana purchased her home in February and had some slight sagging in some areas of the floors. By May the floors were getting much worse with the floors starting to give way as you walk in certain areas. Upon inspection we found that the cinder block support that is currently in the crawl space had started to sink. She wants a solution that will correct the issue once and for all. We used the SmartJack Crawl Space Support System to stabilize the floors and return them to the original level.
