Installing SmartJack in South Haven, MI

Alena's floors were sagging and her foundation was settling. She only has a crawl space under her main floor, no basement. Due to the moisture and soils in your crawl space floors above crawl spaces are vulnerable. So our team installed SmartJack, a system produced to halt your sagging floors. Floors above crawl spaces are vulnerable due to the moisture and soils in your crawl space. The Smart Jack system is a permanent fix to these issues. It uses steel columns, threaded rods and a solid base to address any issues your crawl space may introduce to your floors. Installing this system usually takes less than a day and it provides immediate stabilization.

Repairing Stone Walls in South Haven, MI, Basement with Shotcrete

Mary's home had stone basement walls, and she worried the voids between the stones would allow moisture entry. She needed the problem resolved quickly, so she called Ayers for assistance. Our crew of experts visited her home to evaluate the space and recommend a solution. The team suggested Shotcrete, which applies a concrete or mortar wet spray through a high-pressure hose to fill a form or repair damaged surfaces. Mary is relieved to be rid of unwanted moisture in her basement!

Bowing Walls Straightened with Geo-Lock Wall Anchors in Lowell, MI

Stair-step cracks in walls are a major indicator that there are foundation problems, which is what we found in this block wall basement in Lowell, MI. By installing Geo-Lock wall anchors, these steel wall plates will not only stop the foundation from any further bowing, but straighten out the walls back to an upright position over time. One plate is installed in the soil away from the wall while while the other is directly against the bowing wall. A steel rod connects the two plates which is tightened over time to continue straightening. No more foundation issues for this homeowner! 

 

Geo-Lock Wall Anchors Stabilize Failing Retaining Wall in Lowell, MI

This customer had a retaining block wall that was bowing inward. The block wall had multiple large cracks, once of which was a stair-step crack, which is a warning sign for potential wall failure.

We used the Geo-Lock Wall Anchor system to stabilize the wall and prevent it from bowing any further. Soil outside of the home was excavated in order to place a steel earth anchors deep in stable soil that will be strong enough to hold the wall in place. The earth anchors were then connected to the wall with a steel wall plates and secured into place with steel rods. Once installed, we tightened the system into place and the wall was immediately stabilized. The homeowner also received a tightening kit to continuously tighten the anchors as the wall shifts back to its proper position.

Lifting Slanted Floor in Lowell, MI, Home with SmartJacks

Annette realized there was a slant in her family room floor and knew she needed it fixed. She researched her options and called Ayers for help. We sent experts to her house to evaluate, and they recommended installing the SmartJacks supplemental support system. SmartJacks are a system of floor jacks, constructed of galvanized steel, zinc-plated, and placed two feet beneath the surface for optimal load bearing. Annette loves her level floor!
