Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

One customer in Kalamazoo had a Foundation that was not so strong in their crawl space. This problem can easily lead to sagging floors, which is a huge safety hazard. As you can see, thsi previous foundation is not safe at all. So we replaced it with the best solution, SmartJacks. SmartJacks are adjustable, strong support systems that are perfect for girders and floor joists. It can hold over 60,000 pounds! This long-term solution made the foundation stronger than ever before. 

There was a bowed wall in Cory and Sarah’s garage so our team installed the GeoLock Anchor System. This system permanently stabilized Cory and Sarah's wall. In most cases this system can eventually straighten the wall back to its original position. It is done by putting heavy anchors in stable soil away from your foundation wall. This system is ideal because it involves minimal disturbance to your lawn and home.

These Kalamazoo customers were suffering from a bowing wall and wanted to put their house up for sale. The crew originally thought of using power braces to correct the failing wall, although pipes within the basement were an issue. The basement wall had vertical and horizontal cracks, which are some of the first signs of wall failure. To prevent the wall from cracking and bowing any further, the crew decided to install CarbonArmor.

The CarbonArmor system is used to reinforce bowing walls. The Fiber Reinforced Polymers are 10 times stronger than steel and have a flexible design that allows it to tightly contour your bowing wall. This system allows you to reinforce your failing wall without having to drill, which was a perfect option for these homeowners.

These customers will have their home ready to sell in no time!

We received a call from a customer that lives in Richland, they told us about their sagging and creaky floors. We drove to their home to discover that there was not much support of the floors underneath. So we knew the perfect fix. SmartJacks. 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.

Jennie's 118-year-old home had cracks and deterioration that needed to be professionally addressed. She had previous work done with Ayers and loved the results, so she trusted us to repair her foundation issues. We sent a crew to her home for a free inspection to determine the best solution. Our solution was to install GeoLock Anchors. These anchors will ensure the walls remain upright and are installed by excavating the ground around the home. Anchors are then placed along the outside of the basement walls and will be held in place by steel drives. The other side of the wall will have a large metal plate that aligns with the anchor and is bolted together. This bolt is tightened so this constant pressure pulls the wall into place. This system ensures the walls won't bow any further from the outside soil pressure. Now Jennie has assured the support of her home with this foundation repair solution in action!
