Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Tim found a horizontal crack in his basement wall and wanted to make sure it was stabilized so that his home would be safe. CarbonArmor was used to keep the wall from moving further. It is made of fabric straps that are attached to the wall with a strong resin. These install quickly and do not involve any excavation! 

Bonnie called because the block walls in her father-in-law's basement were cracked and bowing. We used a combination of PowerBraces and wall anchors to stabilize the walls; as each installation is tightened over time, we hope to straighten the walls.

Hate squeaky floor boards? So do we, and at Ayers Basement Systems, we use effective solutions to make your home a dream home. One home in Grayling had that same problem and they called for our help. We drove to their home and installed SmartJacks. 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 home is squeak-free.

Sheryl lives in an old farmhouse that had some basement walls that were starting to settle in the far corners and a cracked, bowing wall. There were no cracks, stuck windows or doors, and no sloped floors upstairs. Helical Piers and GeoLock Anchors stabilized the foundation of the home and helped to raise the walls back up the original position.

Helical Piers can have sections added to them to reach the desired depth to assist in stabilizing the home. The installation is fast, effective, and can be done year-round. GeoLock Anchors stabilize the bowing and cracked basement wall. They anchor into hard , stable soil to brace the foundation and prevent the wall from any further movement. GeoLock Anchors are installed with minimal disruption and they don't damage the basement wall.

The crawl space in any building is often ignored yet, it affects your home's air quality, temperature, and foundation. Those smells, uneven floors, and cracks in the wall could stem from an under-supported and wet crawl space. Taking care of your crawl space can restore and uplift the overall quality of a home. 

In this home, we installed Clean Space technology and the Smart Jack system. Clean Space is a 20-millimeter thick plastic lining that is water and mold resistant. The before photo shows a crawl space covered with a generic plastic cover; this "fix" does not prevent outside air from getting in or reject the growth of mold spores. However, our Clean Space technology provides an airtight seal that stops moisture from getting in.
