Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Kyle was concerned the cracks in his basement walls would lead to more severe damage. He wasn't sure how to fix it himself, so he called Ayers. Our specialists visited his home and recommended the Supportworks GeoLock wall anchor system for his problem. Wall anchors are heavy-duty, galvanized earth anchors built to be placed in solid soil. A steel rod connects the ground anchor to the wall anchor securing the wall. Kyle is excited to have a stable basement wall!

Andy and Lauralee live in an older home and recently have discovered their floors are sagging. Upon inspection, we discovered that the floor supports were not very supportive. We installed the SmartJack Crawl Space Support System to stabilize the sagging floors and raise them back to the correct level. They are adjustable so the home has a permanent solution to the problems! 

Marcia and Bob grew worried about their foundation as cracks were forming. The couple decided to reach out to us at Ayers Basement Systems, and an inspection was soon conducted. The review determined that the foundation was settling, causing cracks to form. Our team suggested Helical Piers as it would provide a permanent solution against the foundation. Helical Piers are screwed into the ground until load-bearing soil is met and then attached to the home's foundation. Once the systems were set, our crew could level and stabilize the foundation eliminating stress on Marcia and Bob!

After a questionable foundation repair to this Cement City, MI home, the owners began to notice that they’re basement didn’t look quite right. There were cracks in the foundation and front porch. Not to mention, both the floors upstairs and porch seemed to be sagging and uneven. In other words, the foundation was starting to settle. The owners wanted to keep their basement separate from the upstairs for a little while longer, so they made a call to the basement and foundation experts, Ayers Basement Systems.

To fix this settling foundation, the crew used SmartJacks. The jacks are usually used to repair the floor above sagging crawl spaces, but thanks to their adjustability, the jacks were perfect for this low basement ceiling. Similar to the installation process for crawl spaces, the SmartJacks were attached to previously installed reinforcement beams in the ceiling and lodged into the concrete slab at floor level. The SmartJacks will reduce the amount of stress on the foundation and stabilize the ceiling back to its original position.

These Clarklake homeowners have had a crack in the basement walls since the home was built and the soil was backfilled. It has bothered them ever since but now they thing the crack is slowly getting worse and wanted a solution. We used GeoLock Wall Anchors to halt further movement of the walls. There is minimal disruption to the yard and the anchors do not take up usable space in the basement!
