Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Laura's foundation in the corner of her garage was starting to settle and form holes. She researched foundation repair options nearby and chose Ayers for our years of expertise in the field. Once our crew inspected this problem area, they concluded helical piers were necessary. This solution consists of helical plates welded to the pier shaft. These plates help pull the pier into the soil during installation and provide anchoring strength as the weight of the foundation transfers to the pier. The advantage of this solution is they have the versatility for stabilizing and restoring settling foundations. Laura feels relieved now that her garage foundation is finally permanently addressed!

Casey's home was built in 1938 so the crawl space foundation support was finally failing. The wooden support beams and joists were rotting so she decided to call Ayers for solutions. After an inspection at the home, our professionals determined SmartJacks would make the best replacement. SmartJacks consist of a solid base installed in the subfloor, steel extendable columns, and we then attach a steel supplemental beam above. This crawl space support system will effectively support the failing beams and joists. This solution will provide strength and stability to the vital foundation structures that were rotting. Now Casey is assured her home will remain safely supported!

Kathy's concerns about her cracking slab foundation were growing, so she called our professionals at Ayers. We sent a crew for an inspection of this area so we could make the proper recommendation which was our Helical Piers. This system consists of the helical plates welded to the pier shaft. The plates help to pull the pier into the soil during installation. It will provide anchoring strength as the weight of the foundation or structural element is transferred to the pier. This is a permanent and versatile solution. The piers are installed in the soil using our professional, small construction equipment or hand equipment. This solution will prevent any further foundation settling and in many cases, it has lifted the home back to a level position. Now Kathy has assured her foundation's safety! 

This homeowner called us because over time their basement wall had began to bow inward. This was a slow process and has horizontal cracks around the bowing. They weren't experiencing any water issues...yet. We assured them it was best to get it fixed before they did have a foot of water in the basement or before the foundation failed. 

After a careful inspection and talking to the homeowners we both decided the best solution to the problem would be to install our Carbon Fiber straps. Carbon fiber is made of a very high tensile strength that is impossible to stretch. This makes it easy to adhere the carbon fiber to the bowing wall. This makes the wall stay where it's at without getting any worse over more time. 

This customer callled us becuase they noticed that their foundation wall was bowing and water was leaking through the cracks. You can see from the before picture that the bowing wall was pushing on the pipes and if this problem was not fixed then the pipes would burts. 

We came to the rescue and installed a GeoLock Channel Anchor System. The GeoLock Channel Anchor System consists of steel rods stabilized in solid soil in the yard. The rods are connected to a steel plate in the ground and the channel anchor that is inside the foundation wall. The channel anchor is secured to the floor, as well as the rod in the ground, for extra strength. This stops the inward movement of the wall and could return the wall to its original position.
