Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Dennis found vertical cracks in his foundation wall. Some cracks were outside the wall while others were inside the garage. Due to the settling foundation, the garage concrete was starting to crack and sink as well. To keep the foundation from sinking even more, we installed Helical Piers. They anchor into the solid soil to stabilize the foundation as well as help lift it back to the original level. To fix the garage floor, we used PolyLevel. PolyLevel is an injectable foam that is lightweight and waterproof and used to lift and level concrete. 

Cheryl recently noticed the outside walls of her apartment were cracking and didn't want them to cave in. As the property manager, she knew this needed fixing, so she researched and called Ayers for help. We sent a team of professionals to the complex to evaluate, and they recommended installing GeoLock wall anchors. The wall anchors are made of galvanized steel and fastened to the compromised wall. A ground anchor is placed away from the house in undisturbed soil and connected to the wall anchor by a steel rod. Cheryl is relieved to have a stable wall!

Cheryl from Battle Creek, MI was having issues with the walls in her basement bowing outward. With extended observation, she could tell the walls were continuing to move. The crack that formed in one of her walls grew to a horizontal distance of more than twelve feet! Cheryl became noticeably frightened about her wall and called us in search of professional help. We went to her home and devised a complete solution consisting of 15 Carbon Armor straps. The Carbon Armor wall reinforcement system is a state-of-the-art solution for bowing and cracking foundation walls. These straps are made from a fiber reinforced polymer that's ten times stronger than steel and is specifically designed for this purpose. Using high strength epoxy resin, the straps are attached the wall and secured with heavy duty steel brackets. Carbon Armor straps improve the condition of bowing and cracked walls by reversing the forces of nature and allowing them to move back to their original position. The best part is that this system requires no exterior excavation, installs quickly, and won't impact future basement finishing. With this cutting-edge solution in place, Cheryl can remain calm knowing her walls will eventually return to their proper position.

A homeowner from Battle Creek needed help with the basement foundation walls because she noticed that they were beginning to bow. We drove to her property and installed PowerBraces among many things. Power Braces are an adjustable vertical beam used to help correct uneven foundation. The PowerBrace is placed up against the walls and attached to the floor joists above it. Foreman will come in and tighten them over time in homes in order to correct the wall over time. The Power Brace is much better than I-Beam styles because it continuously improves the wall. This system is zinc coated so it is fully resistant to corrosion.  Now, this homeowner should never have to worry about a weak foundation ever again.

Todd had a bowed basement wall so he called our team. We installed PowerBrace, a foundation repair system created to secure basement walls. Often outside pressures can cause your basement walls to crack or tilt, this foundation repair system counteracts these pressures by keeping your basement walls in place. Over time, the system can be tightened to not only secure the walls in place, but to also straighten them.
