Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Shane's crawl space lacked the proper support it desperately needed. His floor joists were sagging, so he called Ayers for a permanent solution. We got to work installing SmartJacks since this is a supplemental support system designed specifically for crawl space applications. This solution offers revolutionary foundation support and will prevent the joists from sagging again. SmartJacks get installed by attaching steel support beams to the floor joists and rest on a sturdy base within the ground. Once the crew installs these steel posts, they are adjusted to raise Shane's floors to a level position!

A customer from Orleans wanted help with her floors that were starting to droop. We gave her a free estimate and then decided that we need to install Smart Jacks underneath the floor (in the crawlspace) to reinforce the structure of the floor. 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. Now this homeowner should never worry again about their droopy floors.

Donald found his home's block foundation completely misaligned. The damage was so bad he called Ayers for an assessment. Our resident foreman Evan inspected the area and drafted a treatment plan.

Evan and his team installed SmartJack piers. SmartJack piers are metal beams placed strategically along the structure's supportive rim joist. The bottoms are anchored into the ground with poured concrete while the tops are capped with load-bearing joints that are attached to the rim joist. The entire pier's height is adjusted till there is constant pressure being applied, reintroducing support to the entire framework. 

This customers garage wall was cracking and it was continuing to get worse and worse so it was time he got the problem taken care of. Shotcrete is mortar or concrete that is applied as a spray. It is sprayed through a high pressure hose application nozzle. Shotcrete offers the versatility to construct, repair and reinforce walls, bridges, tunnels and other structural elements.

We received a call from a customer in Ada, Michigan in regards to their basement walls. We then drove out to their home to give them a free estimate. We noticed that the basement walls were beginning to fail. So, we installed our PowerBrace system. PowerBrace is an adjustable vertical beam used to help correct uneven foundation. The PowerBrace is placed up against the walls. Foreman will come in and tighten them over time in homes. The Power Brace is much better than I-Beam styles because it continuously improves the wall. So now this homeowner will no longer have to worry about unsafe foundation any longer.
