Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

This homeowner called because she was experiencing a problem with her block foundation walls. When our team visited the home we found that her foundation walls did not go all the way up to the joices in the home and were essentially leaning. The leaning of a foundation wall is a sure sign of wall failure, which needed immediate attention before the problem worsened.

We decided to install the PowerBrace system that would fully support the basement walls. This system includes strong beams with a non-toxic zinc coating that protects them from corrosion. The braces use a “joist reinforcement method” that makes sure the weight of the wall is transferred evenly across the basement ceiling to ensure the beams do not interfere with the floors above. An added bonus to this system is that the braces can be tightened over time to eventually straighten the wall. 

A wall was bowing in Ann Marie’s basement, so she called our team for help. We installed PowerBrace, a foundation repair system created to secure basement walls in place. Outside pressures can cause your basement walls to crack or tilt, but this foundation repair system counteracts these pressures by keeping your basement walls in place. The system over time can be tightened to not only secure the walls in place, but to also straighten them. 

One morning our team received a call from the manager of Cedar Trail Apartments in Kalamazoo, MI. These local housing providers called us because sometimes problems form outside of your field of expertise. When this happens, professionals call fellow professionals! Upon receiving Cedar Trail Apartments’ call for help, we addressed their sidewalk liability concerns and prescribed our unique product offering PolyLevel to return their sidewalk back to its original position. PolyLevel raises concrete through unique qualities of expanding polyurethane foam, making it: environmentally safe, affordable, waterproof to prevent future erosion, quick and mess free, and a permanent solution! PolyLevel not only results in a solution that looks better and lasts longer, it is also less destructive to the applied surface. PolyLevel was able to level Cedar Trail Apartments’ sidewalk and make it look new again. If you have unlevel sidewalk at your home or business Poly Level can help you too! We are thankful we had the opportunity to improve this local housing providers sidewalk.

This condo complex had some porches that had settled so they wanted them lifted as well as the cracks fixed. We used PolyLevel to lift the porches back to the original position and then NexusPro Crack Repair to fix the cracks in the porch. PolyLevel is an inject-able foam that is waterproof and stable. It cures in about 15 minutes so that it won't disturb the homeowners. NexusPro is a silicone-based and designed to withstand harsh weather, it is UV resistant and won’t crack, bubble, or dry out. It prevent water and debris from degrading the slab from below and dries in about an hour.

Paul owns a rental property with a bowing wall in the basement. The wall has gotten pretty bad and he needed to get it fixed fast before the wall caved in. He called us to find the perfect solution to saving the home. We installed GeoLock Wall Anchors which are made up of steel and will provide a long lasting solution to bowing walls. These anchors work by extending from your wall into the stable, hard packed soil beyond your home. They anchor into these stronger soils and brace the foundation wall, preventing further movement. Wall anchors are installed with minimal disruption to your lawn, and they won't damage the interior of your basement or take up usable space.
