Stabilizing a Prudenville Home Before a Remodel

Tom and his wife are taking care of his mother and wanted to remodel with a mother in law suite. They knew they had settlement of a part of the home and wanted to get it fixed before the remodel. The home sits on the crawl space so we had to stabilize under the home and the corner where the home was settling. We used SmartJacks in the crawl space to stabilize the beams and keep them from moving. This keeps the home at the correct level and the floors even. To support the outside of the home, we used Helical Piers. These stabilize the corner where the home is settling and lift it back up to the original level. Both of these have year-round fast, effective installations to provide a safe support to your family home.

Foundation Support for Prudenville, MI Home

Gerald and Nancy’s home was built in 1980, and they have been living in it since 1989. Over the years, the foundation has shifted slightly, but it wasn’t anything major. Recently, Gerald noticed huge stair step cracks in the foundation of the home. The cracks haven’t let any water inside, but it has caused the front corner of the house to sink. The couple called Ayers Basement Systems for an inspection. Our crew determined they would need Push Piers to every distribute the weight of the home to correct and prevent foundation shifting. 

Push Piers are round steel tubes that help carry the load of homes that are sinking or settling. It has a bracket that is secured to the outside footing of the foundation and is driven into the soil below. The weight of the home is transferred from the unstable soil causing settlement to the steel pier.  

Gerald and Nancy were delighted with the work completed by the Ayers crew. They were pleased with every step of the process from the first call to the final cleanup. They’ve lived in their house for years and can now remain there safely without fear of the house crumbling down around them.

Smart Jack Installation in Petoskey, MI

Smart Jacks stabalize and lift homes. How do they do it? We remove the weak ground that the home was sitting on and create a solid base for the Smart Jack to transfer the weight of the home onto. Now, this house can confidently support the family inside. 

SmartJacks to the Rescue with Foundation Help for Petoskey, MI Home

Bruce was struggling with an inefficient support system in his crawl space so he called Ayers to get this problem fixed up right away. We had a crew come to his home for an inspection where it was decided he needed SmartJacks. These are steel tubes that are great support systems to be applied in crawl space applications. They are installed by attaching these steel support beams to his floor joists and a sturdy base at the floor. They will also raise his floors to a level position after adjustment. 

 

No more worrying about the safety and support of his home!
