The Best Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair Experts in Bronson, MI

Ashley's basement area was part dirt and part concrete. She wanted it all to be concrete. The mud caps were little half-walls, and she needed them removed as they were starting to erode, so she called Ayers. Our professionals recommended shotcrete as a solution after inspecting the problem area. Shotcrete is a mortar or concrete applied as a spray through a high-pressure hose and application nozzle. In the hands of our experts, shotcrete offers the versatility to construct, repair, and reinforce walls, bridges, tunnels, channels, and other structural elements. Shotcrete repaired the eroding half-walls, filling this space with a more sturdy solution. Ashley's basement is much more structurally sound now!

This Bronson, MI church had an engineer look at their cracked and bowed wall to see what needed to be done to make sure it was up to code. The issue was on the addition that was added on the church in the 60’s and there were some cracks on the inside, but most of them were on the outside. They had water issues in the past that were taken care of, but the bowed wall needed to be stabilized before the problem got worse. 

To fix the wall and prevent it from shifting any further we installed the Geo-Lock wall anchor system that uses steel anchors to completely stabilize a failing wall. The first step was the removal of soil outside of the failing church wall to place a steel earth anchor. The earth anchor was placed far enough under the ground to reach stable soil that will hold the wall in place. That anchor was then connected to the wall with a steel wall anchor and secured into place with steel rods. We tightened the system and the wall was completely stabilized. The wall may be able to shift back to its original position by tightening the system during dry periods when the soil shrinks. We also installed wall anchor covers to create a clean finish in the building. 

This Bronson, MI library had an unleveled, cracked walkway and steps leading to the entrance that was causing concern for the city. Not only was the issue an eyesore for the public building, it was also a safety concern for people entering the library.

In order to level the stairs we used the effective PolyLevel system. This system uses high-density, lightweight polymers to lift the sinking slab. The installation begins with our team strategically drilling small holes into the concrete in order to inject the polymers. We then filled the holes with the polymers, which expanded to lift and stabilize the slab. Next we used NexusPro joint sealer to seal the cracks and prevent them from shifting in the future. This installation was fast and efficient in order to ensure the library-goers minimal disruption.
