Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Alexandra bought a new home, and while it was new to her, it was still a 100-year-old house. She noticed foundational problems immediately as the floor between her kitchen and dining room was sagging. Looking to prevent it from getting worse, Alexandra contacted Ayers. After a System Design Specialist with Ayers thoroughly inspected the home, it was determined SmartJacks would be perfect for the job. 

The SmartJack system utilizes a concrete load-bearing base that is poured into a pre-dug hole. Once the bottom is set, a steel column is cut to the desired height and attached to a supplemental support beam across the floor joist. This system will permanently stabilize her home and, most importantly, stop the floor from sagging by bringing it back to a level height. Alexandra was happy to have found a solution that fixed her floor and stabilized her home! 

Ryan was searching for a more sufficient support system for his basement to replace the weak column he currently had. He came across Ayers and saw that we offer some great solutions to what he was looking for so he made the call. We sent a team to his home to conduct a free inspection and it was decided that SmartJacks would be the best solution.

SmartJacks offer Ryan a great solution since they are a supplemental support system that supports sagging beams and floor joists. His existing column had failed and settled so he needed a more sufficient, long-lasting solution. These are much stronger as well since they are made of steel columns, threaded rods, and a solid base. 

Ryan was pleased with this new, trustworthy support system that offers him a permanent solution!

Dave's foundation had large cracks, and some walls were noticeably bowing. Unsure of a solution, he contacted us at Ayers Basement Systems, and an inspection was conducted. The PowerBrace system was suggested and later implemented to stop the bowing and straighten the wall over time. This system attaches to the floor joist in the basement and the footing of the home down below. Over time, this system will correct Dave's foundation back to its original state!

Ken needed one of his foundation walls repaired because it was cracking and bowing. So our team installed PowerBrace, a foundation repair system that secures basement walls in place. This foundation repair system counteracts the outside pressures that cause your basement walls to crack or tilt 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. 

Kevin's kitchen floor was slanted for as long as he could remember. He started several at-home projects to fix the issue, including box-brand floor jacks, but nothing worked, so he called Ayers. A team of specialists visited his home and decided to install SmartJacks, a supplemental support system of floor jacks, all hot-dipped in galvanized steel and zinc-plated to bear large loads. Kevin is happy his floor is permanently fixed!
