Friendly Concrete Leveling & Foundation Repair Contractor serving Montcalm County, MI

Replacing a Block Foundation Carson City, MI

Donald found his home's block foundation completely misaligned. The damage was so bad he called Ayers for an assessment. Our resident foreman Evan inspected the area and drafted a treatment plan.

Evan and his team installed SmartJack piers. SmartJack piers are metal beams placed strategically along the structure's supportive rim joist. The bottoms are anchored into the ground with poured concrete while the tops are capped with load-bearing joints that are attached to the rim joist. The entire pier's height is adjusted till there is constant pressure being applied, reintroducing support to the entire framework. 

Ayers Fixes Fallen Carson City, MI Foundation

Donald and Meredith’s home was built in 1941. A foundation wall recently fell in, leaving a gaping hole in the side of their Carson City, MI house. The couple called Ayers Basement Systems for an inspection immediately. Our crew determined that they would need SmartJacks and Helical Piers to stabilize the foundation. 

SmartJacks are steel supports that balance the foundation of the crawlspace, lifting it to its original position. They can be adjusted so the home will never shift out of place and are anchored into the ground with poured concrete. Helical Piers are made of steel helix-shaped blades that are screwed into the soil and the piers that can be extended to the appropriate depth. They're attached to the foundation’s footing, so the weight is evenly distributed and the home is permanently sturdy.

Donald and Meredith were ecstatic when we cleared out the old mess of a fallen wall and promptly stabilized their home. They can sleep soundly at night knowing this nightmare is over and they can go back to their lives with more peace of mind. 

SmartJacks Fix Sinking Floor in Pierson, MI

Brian O. contacted us because the floors above his crawl space severely sloped and needed to be leveled. He also was having a problem with the home being very humid which was happening becaues the crawl space was wet. 

To fix the wet crawl space we installed our CleanSpace system to encapsulate the area. CleanSpace makes sure no outside elements can get in and it's very sturdy so it can still be walked on and had stuff stored on it. To fix the sinking floors we installed our SmartJacks. SmartJacks are installed and then the weight of the home is transferred to them so it's not on the unlevel, sinking soil.
