A cracking, bowing, tilting, or buckling foundation wall can mean serious trouble for not only your foundation, but for your entire home. To save their foundation wall, this Cetnral Lake, MI family gave us a call. We recommended our patented PowerBrace foundation wall repair system to solve thier problem. PowerBrace uses steel I-beams that secure to the joists above the wall, offering a great amount of support for foundation walls, and may have the power to bring back the walls to their original position. This family no longer has to worry about their safety in their home with PowerBrace.

In East Jordan, MI, a homeowner was struggling with a sagging crawl space foundation in their historic home. After attempting to stabilize the floors with concrete blocks and wood planks, it became clear that a more permanent solution was needed. That’s when they reached out to Ayers.

Our team installed SmartJacks and supplemental beams to provide the necessary support and stabilize the sagging floors. Now, with a lasting solution in place, the homeowner can enjoy peace of mind, knowing their home’s foundation is secure and they won’t have to rely on makeshift DIY fixes again.

Bruce noticed the floor in his living room had a slight slant. It wasn't causing him too much trouble, but he didn't want the problem to worsen, so he called Ayers. A team of specialists stopped by his home and recommended SmartJacks. Designed to be far sturdier than store-bought floor jacks, SmartJacks are hot-dipped in galvanized steel and zinc-plated to ensure they last with the house. Bruce can't believe how level his living room floor is!

Our friends Tom and his daughter Julie from Leland, MI found themselves facing a foundation support issue and they knew that they would eventually need to seek help from trusted experts. That’s why they called us when they realized the sagging beams in their crawlspace needed more support than their homemade braces could give. Upon diagnosing their needs, we installed four Smart Jacks and a new support beam to stabilize their home. The Smart Jack is a supplemental support system for crawl space applications. The Smart Jack effectively supports sagging beams and floor joists caused by, a length of span greater than spanning capability, floor load increased after construction, exceeding design values, and weakening over time due to high moisture and rot. With this innovative stability solution in place, Julie can rest assured that her dad’s home will forever be supported.

We received a call from a homeowner in Leland, MI that had some sagging floors. We drove to their property so that we could help. After looking at their home we found the root of the issue, their crawlspace. They had no support for the floor above it, so it began to sag. We then installed our SmartJack system. 

The SmartJack is a support system used to stabilize and level the floor joists in a crawl space. This system can support up to 60,000 pounds. The SmartJack system is placed on strong concrete fillings that have replaced the soil in that small location underneath the SmartJack. Now, this homeowner will never have to worry about unsafe saggy floors ever again.
