Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

One morning we received a call from two local homeowners in Charlotte, MI. They informed us that their stone foundation wall was beginning to crack and crumble. These homeowners were worried that their problems would progressively worsen and one day their foundation would totally collapse! These new friends of ours explored our website, read reviews and thought possibly we could provide solutions for their foundation problems. The two of them quickly found out that having their foundation entirely rebuilt was something that they just couldn’t handle financially. We came out to their home and prescribed Shotcrete to remedy their foundation issues at a rather affordable cost. Shotcrete is a noteworthy innovation in concrete technology where concrete is applied as a spray, through a high-pressure hose and application nozzle. In the hands of our skilled team members, shotcrete offers the versatility to construct, repair and reinforce damaged foundation walls and other structural elements. With Shotcrete, we were able to restructure our new friends crumbling wall and they can remain confident that it will be strong for countless years to come.

Charlene & Kevin from Charlotte, MI were having issues with the walls in their basement bowing outward. With continuing observation, they could tell the walls were continuing to move. The crack in one of their walls grew to a horizontal distance of more than twelve feet. This couple became observably frightened about their walls future and called us in search of professional help. We went to their home and devised a complete solution consisting of twelve PowerBraces. The PowerBrace system encompasses adjustable steel I-beams that secure to the joists above the foundation wall, offering revolutionary support. The PowerBrace improves the condition of bowing and cracked walls by reversing the forces of nature and allowing them to move back to their original position. With this cutting-edge solution in place, Charlene & Kevin can remain calm knowing their walls will eventually return to their proper position.

Denise had noticed stair step cracks on her basement wall and took the issue into her own hands. She filled the cracks with traditional sealant because it was advertised as a quick fix. Luckily, she called us because stair step cracks are a tell tale sign of foundation issues and there is no "quick fix" for foundation problems.

Our team determined that her basement walls were still in the early stages of cracking. This meant that our team could install Wall Anchors, which are braces that hold your wall still and will prevent the issue from getting worse. These wall anchors are a permanent solution for Denise's stair step cracks and our team even covered the the cracks to make her basement more appealing.

Kim called Ayers after noticing her foundation support was getting weaker and causing the floors to sag. We conducted a free inspection and from this our System Design Specialists were able to recommend SmartJacks as the solution. SmartJacks are a supplemental support system that will protect her home from sagging beams or floor joists. It will restore stability and straightness to her sagging floors by attaching the steel support columns to a sturdy base at the floor. They will raise her floors to a level position and ensure her home's safety!

Carol has no issues in her crawl space except for all of the junk and debris. She wants the space cleaned out and encapsulated to ensure that there would not be issues with her crawl space down the road. We used Drainage Matting to have space between the ground and the liner. In case the intrusion of water was to happen, the matting has dimples to give water a channel to flow through and find its way to the sump pump. We also installed the SuperSump Plus sump pump system to keep water out of the crawl space. Lastly, we used the CleanSpace Crawl Space Vapor Barrier to keep out unwanted humidity, odors, pests, and water vapor. These will keep her space dry and protect the homes structure from mold or rot!
