Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

The homeowners in Grand Rapids, MI had vertical cracks going down one of their walls in their basement. Vertical cracks on your basement walls are a sign of foundation and structural failure. Weakened foundation walls can have a significant impact on your home's stability and value, and it's essential to address these problems quickly and effectively.

Our professional team installed the GeoLock Wall Anchors system to fix this homes foundation. Wall anchors work by extending from your wall to the stable, hard packed soil beyond your home. They anchor into these stronger soils and brace the foundation wall, preventing further movement. Wall anchors are installed with minimal disruption to your lawn, and they won't damage the interior of your basement or take up usable space. These wall anchors are made of galvanized steel for a long-lasting solution that will prevent any further inward movement of your walls.

Marcy was sick of the foundation crack that was causing her all sorts of trouble like water leaks. She made the right call talking to Ayers and getting an appointment set up. After an inspection we went forward with installing CarbonArmor and our CleanSpace Wall System to address these issues. First with Carbon Armor these carbon fiber straps will fix the bowing wall by preventing further inward movement. Then with the CleanSpace Wall System this will cover these foundation walls and act as a vapor barrier to combat excess vapor or moisture with its poly sheet material. 

Marcy was happy to get these serious issues resolved before they jeopardized the safety of her home!

Ellen's basement walls were cracking, and she worried if they were left untreated, those cracks would continue to grow. She needed help, so she researched and called Ayers to learn about our solutions. A team of experts visited her property to evaluate and recommend a solution. They suggested GeoLock wall anchors, anchored to the failing wall and connected to a ground anchor by a steel rod. The ground anchor is placed away from the home in solid, undisturbed soil to secure the connection. Ellen feels more comfortable in her house!
