Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

This customer contacted us because a wall in his basement had some horizontal cracking going on. There was no water coming in but as we all know this crack was going to continue to get worse and eventually water would be a concern. There are many solutions to cracked and bowing foundation walls. After inspecting the crack and talking with the customer we found the perfect solution for everyone, our PowerBrace System. 

PowerBraces are designed to permanently stabilize a home's foundation and allows for straightening of a wall over time. These beams are zinc coated so there is no worry about them rusting out. The PowerBraces can also be tightened as the wall moves back to its original/desired position. The beams were also engineered to protect your home's floor system since that is usually a concern with I-Beam systems.

This couple had just bought there home when they learned that the sagging floors were not mentioned during the home inspection. The floors on the main level of the home were all sagging, some bouncy due to lack of support below them. The new homeowners were concerned and needed help. We installed SmartJacks to stabilize and straighten the floors. The posts are made of steel so they will not rot and can be adjusted at any point to ensure a permanent solution for the home! 

Dan had us out in the past to give some sinking concrete a polylevel treatment, using high-density polymers injected underneath the concrete to fill voids and lift the concrete back into its original position. With a significant amount of new slabs needing to be addressed, this time we ended up removing the concrete completely and pouring a new walkway. The results are a far cry from what was there before. The walkway will be much safer to walk on and water will flow safely away from the home.

This customer in Mattawan, MI had a cracked block wall in his 40-year-old ranch style home. The 3rd block down the wall was bowing in and cracking. After doing some landscaping, the cracking became worse and a solution is desperately needed.

We installed out CarbonArmor system. CarbonArmor uses the same technology as the Army Corps of Engineers designed to reinforce bomb shelters to stabilize your basement walls. The system consists of fiber reinforced polymer that is 10 times as strong as steel, maximizing the utility of the product. And as a bonus, no excavation is needed.

Gary and Leslie have a poured basement, and one of their exterior retaining walls had a crack. After reading many stories about Ayers, they decided to call in. After an Ayers System Design Specialist came out to assess the problem, the crew at Ayers decided on the GeoLock Wall Anchor System.

Our GeoLock Wall Anchoring System is installed into the wall and engineered to stop wall failure immediately. This system utilizes a plate buried in the ground outside of the cracked wall. A steel rod is drilled through a one-inch hole in the wall and connected to the anchor plate. A plate is then placed on the interior side and bolted in place. The plate is secured to the rod and tightened until there is pressure on the wall. The pressure created by the wall anchor will pull the wall back into place, stopping it from cracking and permanently stabilizing it!
