Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Mitchell realized his foundation was severely degrading. Cracks formed, and blocks from the block foundation were missing. Mitchell decided it was time to find a solution for his home and contacted Ayers. An Ayers specialist thoroughly inspected his home and concluded the foundation walls were bowing. GeoLock Wall Anchors were suggested to permanently stabilize the foundation. GeoLock Anchors utilize a base buried outside the basement for an anchor point. Additionally, a rod is drilled through the foundation wall and to the anchor point where it is connected, allowing the plate on the interior side of the wall to be attached. Once the anchor system is set up and secured, the system can be tightened. For Mitchell, the GeoLock Wall Anchor permanently stabilized his foundation!

Dorothy worried the cracks in her foundation walls would continue to grow and deepen. She knew these cracks could lead to significant damage, so she called Ayers for help. We sent our experts to her home and installed the PowerBrace repair system to secure the wall and prevent further damage. PowerBraces are steel beams connected to joists above the wall with steel brackets. Dorothy feels much better with a permanently stabilized wall!

Mitchell noticed a large number of cracks on his basement brick walls. Not wanting to take any risks, he contacted Ayers. Upon arrival, our foreman Randy was able to listen to the home owner's concerns and inspect the area. He found bowing on many of the walls and prescribed GeoLock anchors to correct the problem.

GeoLock anchors are installed by digging out the soil outside of the cracked wall. A large metal anchor is secured in place and reburied. On the opposite side inside the home, a large metal plate is alined with the anchor and tightened till constant pressure pulls the wall back into place and permanently holds it there.

Lawrence and Susan were feeling as if their home was being split in half because both ends of the home were sinking. The sinking was causing cracks in the basement walls and some cracks in the drywall on the main floor as well. They wanted to make this a permanent home once they retire so they knew the issues needed to be fixed. We had just the solution to stabilize the home and lift it back up! We used Push Piers because the soil conditions of this home were unknown so it was the best option for a permanent solution. 

We responded to an inquiry from Guy, a homeowner looking for better foundation support. He realized the floors were sagging and the wooden support structures were failing. Guy called Ayers for our foundation repair solutions. Our crew inspected his basement's current support situation and determined SmartJacks would provide the appropriate support required. SmartJacks will not rot or warp like the wooden support beams Guy previously had. The system was installed by attaching steel support beams to the floor joists. They rest on a sturdy base in the subfloor. Once the support columns were installed, the crew adjusted them to raise the floors to a level position. Guy is satisfied with the results now that he has a permanent solution to support his home's foundation!
