Lifting Slanted Floor with SmartJacks in Breckenridge, MI

Catalina's floor was slanted for as long as she had lived in her home. She tried multiple "quick-fix" solutions and became frustrated with her lack of success. She decided to call Ayers for help, so we sent our experts to her house to recommend a solution. They decided to install SmartJacks, a system of floor jacks, zinc-plated, hot-dipped in galvanized steel, and anchored underneath the surface to provide permanent stability. Catalina loves her new floor!

GeoLock Wall Anchors Strengthen Foundation Support for Worried Homeowner in Freeland, MI

Anna's basement wall appeared to be shifting and she was worried it would eventually cave in. She chose Ayers for our foundation repair solutions, so we set a time for a free inspection. After the inspection was complete, our team agreed that GeoLock Wall Anchors would resolve the foundation support issues. This solution consists of large steel plates that are attached to the affected wall and out to stable soil where they are anchored by a smaller plate underground. The system can be tightened over time, potentially straightening the wall to its original position. Outside soil pressures cause these walls to shift, so having these anchors secured out in stable soil will correct this issue. Anna was thankful for the professional foundation help that eased her concerns!

Collapsed Wall Rebuilt With Shotcrete in Zeeland, MI

This 80 year old home had foundation problems for a years but the problem was ignored. Eventually, the wall caved in. The good news is that it was fixable and we had a great solution for it. On the exterior, the wall was neatly built back up with blocks and sealed. On the interior, we used a product called Shotcrete to rebuild. Shotcrete is essentially concrete that is shot through a firehose at the wall and evenly applied. The structure is now strong and reliable once again. 

PowerBrace System Reinforced Bowed Wall in Zeeland, MI

This Zeeland, MI home had a cracked and bowed basement foundation wall that was in need of proper stabilization. We used the effective PowerBrace system to hold the wall in place and potentially help pull the wall back to its proper position. The strong steel I-beams were installed in the floor at the base of the wall and then attacked to the joists above the wall to hold it in place. Once we tightened the system, the wall would no longer be able to shift and bow inward any further. We also provided the homeowners with a tightening kit that is used to continue tightening the system overtime to straighten the wall over time.

Wood Columns Fail to Support Foundation in Zeeland, MI

One customer in Zeeland, MI needed help with the foundation of their sagging floors. Previously, this home was using wood columns in the crawlspace to support the floor above it.  Wood columns will never do a great job at supporting the floor. They are not adjustable, they cannot support heavy loads, they are vulnerable to molding and rotting, and they do not provide a long-term solution. We knew exactly what to do to fix this foundation, we installed the SmartJack system in this crawlspace to provide this home with a long-term solution to their foundation. This steel support system is ideal for the foundation of floors above the crawlspace. SmartJack is proven to support over 60,000 pounds, so you can rely on it to support your house very well.

This is done by excavating a cube of soil where the SmartJack will be placed.  Then, this hole gets filled with a strong concrete, then the base for your SmartJack is ready and will not need to depend on weak foundation soil to hold your home up. Thanks to SmartJack, this home will no longer need to worry about the foundation of their home.
