Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

These homeowners from Fowler, MI called us about their basement wall that began developing cracks. The homeowners braced the wall on their own but knew they needed to seek a permanent fix. They were extremely concerned and called us to seek professional help. We came to their home and installed wall anchors. Wall anchors are perfect for returning the wall back to its original position and reinforcing the entire foundation. We stabilize the home with a steel rod that runs from the wall anchor to an anchor placed in the exterior of the home. Once we place the plates we have permanently stabilized the basement.

This Fowler homeowner has a bowing wall in his finished basement. We wanted to fix the wall and give him peace of mind so we installed GeoLock Wall Anchors. The anchor system works by extending from the wall into the hard stable soil outside the home to brace the foundation wall. The GeoLock anchors are installed with minimal disturbance to the lawn, they won't damage the basement, and it doesn't take up usable space.

When walls are starting to have settlement problems, they start to move.  This can be very catastrophic if left untouched.  Our customer chose to do some preventative maintenance by adding some support to each wall.  Using CarbonArmor, we are able to help stabilize bowing walls.  On top of the walls, we connect the CarbonArmor to ArmorLock straps that provide supplemental support to existing top wall connections, preventing the walls from leaning.  This helps to keep all of the applied walls nice and stable!  

We quickly inspected Marilyn's failing support beams in her crawl space, which desperately required a permanent solution. The wooden beams split due to rotting, so our Ayers team suggested SmartJacks. These jacks consist of galvanized steel for corrosion resistance. We attached them to a supplemental support beam above and rested the jacks on a sturdy base within the floor. SmartJacks can support loads of more than 60,000 pounds. Marilyn now feels assured of the safety of her crawl space support system!

Cheryl was sick of the sagging floor in her family room. The room became unusable, so she knew she needed to ask Ayers for help. We sent a team of experts to examine the issue and recommend a solution. Due to the sturdy base and adjustable feature provided by SmartJacks, they decided this was the best solution. SmartJacks are a system of floor jacks hot-dipped in galvanized steel, zinc-plated, and reinforced to bear large loads. Cheryl is so happy to enjoy her space with the whole family!
