Ayers Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Larry noticed multiple supportive issues with his home that he's been in since 2009. Knowing that It was built by the previous owner under little supervision, he knew he had a potentially major issue. Wanting to find a solution from a reliable company unlike the initial contractors, he contacted Ayers. Our resident foreman Blade was able to listen to Larry's concern and inspect the area.

Bruce noticed the home's crawl space was suffering the most from faulty craftsmanship.  To remedy the problem Balde and his team decided to use SmartJack piers.

SmartJack piers are steel beams place strategically along the home's supportive rim joist. The Beams are anchored into the foundational floor with poured concrete and the tops are capped with load-bearing joints that affix to the rim joist.

SmartJack is a trusted tool by Ayers because it provides a permeate source of support and not only stops further compromise of the support structures but also corrects the Supportworks over time.

Amy's home was built in the 1800s. For safety purposes, the house required new foundation support. She called Ayers for our foundation repair options, so we had a team of professionals head over for a free inspection. Our system design specialists recommended SmartJacks. This solution is installed by attaching steel support beams to the floor joists and a sturdy base installed in the subfloor. This system can be easily adjusted down the road. These adjustments will even lift the floors to a level position. Amy feels relieved now that she has permanent, upgraded foundation support for her old home!

Paul's living room floor was slanted, and he wasn't sure how to fix it. Knowing this was a sign of foundation issues, he decided to call Ayers to learn about our solutions. Our experts stopped by and recommended installing the SmartJacks supplemental support system. Store-bought floor jacks often fail beneath the pressure of the home, but SmartJacks are designed to last. Each SmartJack is hot-dipped in galvanized steel, zinc-plated, and has a two-foot base depth to reduce load-bearing stress. Paul feels better about his floor!

Elma's crawl space was in rough condition since dirt and debris covered the floor. She did not have this area properly encapsulated to protect her home from outside pests or moisture. She decided to call Ayers for our crawl space repair options, so we sent a crew for an inspection. Our system design specialists recommended CleanSpace to encapsulate the area. Before we place this thick waterproof liner on the crawl space floor, we install the Drainage Matting first. This product gives the water leaking into the crawl space a channel underneath the liner. The raised dimples in the mat help direct the water to the sump pump system rather than accumulating on the floor. Next, we installed the airtight CleanSpace liner to provide a barrier between the moist ground and the home. This product has a vapor barrier that prevents the buildup of excess water that leads to mold or bacteria. When the crew showed Elma the results, she was shocked by the total transformation of her crawl space!

Uneven, sunken driveways and sidewalks can be a major hazard for homeowners. Over time concrete settlement or soil shift can occur which may cause walkways to become uneven and unsteady. Homeowners in East Leroy, MI experienced this problem as they noticed the steps to their front door were noticeably leaning to one side causing a major trip hazard. 

By drilling a small hole into the concrete, PolyLevel foam is injected underneath the surface to stabilize the foundation. The hole is patched back up and the area is ready for weight again after 15 minutes. PolyLevel is strong, waterproof, and noninvasive making it an ideal solution for homeowners dealing with this problem. The before and after pictures show the drastic difference a quick injection can make!
