Foundation Crack Repair in South Bend

Some foundation cracks are cosmetic, while others could be a sign of a serious structural problem. Cracks in a foundation could be caused by normal settling or a foundation problem.

Some signs of a foundation problem include:

  • Doors that stick
  • Windows that are difficult to open or have cracks
  • Sloping or buckling floors
  • Cracks in drywall
  • Gaps between the wall and the ceiling
  • Large cracks in the exterior concrete
  • Water in the basement or crawl space

When the soil around your home expands and contracts, this puts pressure on the foundation walls and can cause bulging and cracks in poured concrete or block foundation walls.

Ayers Basement Systems can stabilize and straighten foundation walls and help prevent further cracking. We offer a wide range of patented foundation wall solutions for homes in South Bend, including steel anchors and carbon-fiber straps.

Water in a Finished Basement in South Bend, IN

The homeowners had water coming into their basement where the floor and the wall meet. This water was particularly frightening for these homeowners because they had a finished basment and they did not want their belongings or their carpet to get ruined. 

Our professional team installed the WaterGuard long lasting interior perimeter drainage system to stop the water from destroyer the homeowners finished basement. WaterGuard effectively captures wall and floor seepage before it damages your basement floor. The WaterGuard drainage system sits on the top of the footing inside the basement so the pipes do not get clogged by mud or anything else. Water enters the system via inlet holes and flows through the drainage pipe to the sump pump. The sump pump then effectively removes the water from the home. 

The before picture shows the water that was seeping into the home. The after picture shows what the WaterGuard system looks like before it is covered with a clean layer of concrete. 

The homeowners finised basement is now clean and dry thanks to the WaterGuard interior perimeter drainage system!

We moved into our home about 2 years ago. We quickly noticed the floors seemed to slope from the center toward the outer walls. The backyard patio was severely sloped (we demolished it since moving in). Our drywall inside has noticeable cracking as well. We've had other company's out to inspect and have come to the conclusion that the foundation is sinking. Our neighbor had the same issue and you guys were the company he used to fix it.
