Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Tim called Ayers when he noticed the crack in his garage foundation was getting worse. We sent a crew to his home for a free inspection and from there our System Design Specialists were able to recommend PolyLevel and NexusPro Crack Repair. PolyLevel is a lightweight injectable foam that is injected through small drilled holes in the concrete in order to level it to the desired position. Then NexusPro Crack Repair was used to actually fill the cracks with its silicone sealant that is able to withstand harsh weather.

Tim was relieved to get this crack sealed and leveled out so he doesn't have to worry about his home's safety anymore!

Randy had a slanted living room floor, so he tried a store-bought floor jack and exhausted his options in the "DIY" department. His previous attempts to fix the issue didn't work, so he researched his options and called Ayers for help. Our specialists visited his home and recommended installing the SmartJacks supplemental support system. SmartJacks are a collection of floor jacks, zinc plated and hot-dipped in galvanized steel to provide durability. Each base is implanted two feet deep to reduce load-bearing stress and ensure longevity. Randy is happy with his level floor!

The living room addition floor of this Marcellus, MI home had started to slope downwards (as seen in the before photo). After lifting up the carpet to get a better understanding of the situation, the owners saw that the floor was both sinking and cracked. Lucky for them, concrete lifting is just another one of Ayers Basement Systems’ specialties.

To raise the floor, the crew pumped PolyLevel - an expanding polymer used to fill in the gaps where soil has settled - below the slab. While PolyLevel is usually used to lift concrete slabs and sidewalks, this addition’s floor was also poured concrete, so raising the floor wouldn’t affect the house’s foundation. The after photo shows the multiple different holes where the injections were made. Now, the owners can rest in this living room without fear of sinking away. 

Gary and Leslie have a poured basement, and one of their exterior retaining walls had a crack. After reading many stories about Ayers, they decided to call in. After an Ayers System Design Specialist came out to assess the problem, the crew at Ayers decided on the GeoLock Wall Anchor System.

Our GeoLock Wall Anchoring System is installed into the wall and engineered to stop wall failure immediately. This system utilizes a plate buried in the ground outside of the cracked wall. A steel rod is drilled through a one-inch hole in the wall and connected to the anchor plate. A plate is then placed on the interior side and bolted in place. The plate is secured to the rod and tightened until there is pressure on the wall. The pressure created by the wall anchor will pull the wall back into place, stopping it from cracking and permanently stabilizing it!

A homeowner called Ayers with an issue with a window well that was filling up with water and leaking into the basement. One of our professional System Design Specialists evaluated the issue and came up with a solution.

After consulting with our Specialist, the homeowner decided to install a new egress window to replace the prior window. Our egress windows are constructed to withstand any storm, preventing any more leaks from entering into this home.
