Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A wall in Michelle’s basement was bowing, so she called our team for help. Power Brace, a foundation repair system created to secure basement walls in place was installed by our team. 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. So, installing PowerBrace will give Michelle peace of mind that her walls are secure and eventually will return to their original position.

This Kalamazoo, MI Garage wall has seen better days. The concrete garage wall had an enormous horizontal crack spanning the length of the whole wall. Not only is this a scary sight for any homeowner, but the fear of knowing this wall can erupt any moment would send shivers down any spine. Not to worry, we have a solution for this problem. Our PowerBrace system was installed to anchor this wall to provide stability and support. These steel I-beam are placed along different sections of the wall, stretching floor to ceiling in length, and are secured into place with steel brackets. The anchors have the ability overtime to straighten this wall back out to its normal position. 

Denise was dealing with bowing foundation walls in her basement and she knew that she needed a professional opinion on possible solutions. She gave Ayers a call so she wouldn’t have to worry about the safety of her home anymore. We sent a crew for inspection and it was determined she would need our CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System and BrightWall. 

We first installed CarbonArmor which consists of fiber-reinforced polymer straps that are ten times stronger than steel. These straps get attached to the wall with a special epoxy resin and secured to the joists above with steel brackets. Soil pressure is typically the culprit when it comes to bowing foundation walls and with CarbonArmor, we can stabilize a wall and secure it against future bowing. The last product we installed was BrightWall which consists of waterproof, rigid, plastic paneling that will transform her basement space into a bright, gorgeous space that will last for decades. BrightWall even keeps water vapor and humidity from passing through foundation walls which will protect against gross mold development. 

Denise was relieved to have her bowing foundation walls corrected and cleaned up!

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.
