Foundation Crack Repair in South Bend

Some foundation cracks are cosmetic, while others could be a sign of a serious structural problem. Cracks in a foundation could be caused by normal settling or a foundation problem.

Some signs of a foundation problem include:

  • Doors that stick
  • Windows that are difficult to open or have cracks
  • Sloping or buckling floors
  • Cracks in drywall
  • Gaps between the wall and the ceiling
  • Large cracks in the exterior concrete
  • Water in the basement or crawl space

When the soil around your home expands and contracts, this puts pressure on the foundation walls and can cause bulging and cracks in poured concrete or block foundation walls.

Ayers Basement Systems can stabilize and straighten foundation walls and help prevent further cracking. We offer a wide range of patented foundation wall solutions for homes in South Bend, including steel anchors and carbon-fiber straps.

Installing PolyLevel to Prevent Sinking Concrete in South Bend, IN

Sandy’s slab foundation was cracking under her windows and kitchen. So she called our team and we installed PolyLevel. PolyLevel is a system designed to fix concrete slabs that have sunk and it uses a polyurethane foam that expands and has a high density in order to raise the concrete. The process is quite simple and is done by drilling small holes into the concrete and then inserting the foam into the holes. Also, the PolyLevel system is waterproof and long-lasting.

SmartJacks Help Support Sagging Floors in South Bend, IN Home

Dawn was on the lookout for a permanent resolution to the sinking floors in her home. She was worried about the safety and support of her home being compromised. She found Ayers and decided to make the call. We sent a crew to her home and our System Design Specialists recommended SmartJacks so she went forward with the installation.

 

SmartJacks are perfect for this issue as they are supplemental support systems meant for crawl spaces that will support sagging beams and floor joists. This will provide the permanent solution Dawn was looking for to tackle this serious issue. It is installed by attaching steel support beams to the floor joists and a sturdy base at the floor. Oftentimes typical support beams in your home are undersized or made from wood which can rot, shift, and settle and as a result they will sag or cause other structural problems.

 

Dawn was overjoyed with the result and she now doesn't have to stress about the safety of her home!

We moved into our home about 2 years ago. We quickly noticed the floors seemed to slope from the center toward the outer walls. The backyard patio was severely sloped (we demolished it since moving in). Our drywall inside has noticeable cracking as well. We've had other company's out to inspect and have come to the conclusion that the foundation is sinking. Our neighbor had the same issue and you guys were the company he used to fix it.
