Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

This Grand Rapids home has some stairstep cracks on the basement walls and the owner is worried that the support is weak. We used CarbonArmor to support the wall and make sure more cracks don't get worse. The CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System is made up of carbon fiber fabric straps, that are stronger in tension than steel, and the straps are bonded to the wall with an epoxy resin. The straps will stabilize the wall and the best part is that the system requires no exterior excavation and won't impact future basement finishing.

This Grand Rapids couple had a bowing basement wall and some walls had cracks on it. They were worried about the support of the walls so they called us for a solution. We installed PowerBraces and CarbonArmor stabilize their basement walls. The PowerBrace Wall Repair System stops further movement of the wall and could potentially straighten the wall. It is made up of steel beams that are secured to the joists above the wall with steel brackets. The system does not involve any exterior excavation and installs quickly with minimal disruption. The CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System is great for walls that have cracking. This system consists of flexible carbon fiber straps. These straps are bonded to the walls using a high strength resin. This system stabilizes the wall, does not require exterior excavation, installs quickly, and does not impact the finishing of your basement.

Debra's support posts have started to corrode and some have slipped out from under the beam. With this happening, the support posts are not being supportive and her floors are starting to sag. We installed SmartJacks so her home could be safe and stabilized! These steel support posts not only keep the floor from sagging even more but they also lift the floors back up to the correct level. 

Tilting, bowing, or buckling foundation walls don't stand a chance with our patented PowerBrace foundation wall repair system -- it's a good thing, too, because this family in Grandville, MI desperately needed some foundation support. The PowerBrace system is made of steel I-beams that attach to the joists above your basement wall, stabilizing your foundation. With PowerBrace, this family can now be safe in their basement and, more importantly, their house. 

Steve noticed the cracks in his walls were deepening and hoped to prevent further damage, so he called Ayers for help. We sent our specialists to his home, and they recommended the installation of GeoLock wall anchors. The wall anchors are made of galvanized steel and fastened to the compromised wall. A ground anchor is placed away from the house in undisturbed soil and connected to the wall anchor by a steel rod. Once the whole system is tightened, the foundation wall will be permanently stabilized. Steve feels much more comfortable in his home!
