Before & After Photos

Janet’s lakeside cottage in Mackinaw City, MI, just steps from Lake Michigan, is her summer sanctuary—but recently, she noticed her kitchen floor felt uneven. Having worked with Ayers three years ago to stabilize the home’s foundation, she didn’t want to risk further damage.

Our team returned to her crawl space and installed additional SmartJack® crawl space support posts, a proven solution for lifting and stabilizing sagging floors. These supports were strategically placed to reinforce the kitchen area and prevent future settlement.

Now, Janet can enjoy her summers worry-free, knowing her cottage is level, supported, and protected for the long haul.

Ronald was searching for a solution to address his cracked foundation wall in the basement. He chose Ayers as the foundation repair experts, so we sent a crew to inspect his home. From the inspection, our System Design Specialists were able to recommend CarbonArmor. This repair system consists of reinforcing straps made from a fiber-reinforced polymer ten times stronger than steel. The straps are attached to the wall with a special epoxy resin and secured to the joists above with steel brackets. With this system, the wall will become stable and secure which will prevent future bowing. Ronald was grateful for this quick, trustworthy solution that will keep his foundation walls in place!

Time and mother nature had taken their toll on Frank's foundation. Frank's floor began to bow, thus he decided to call Ayers and set up a home inspection. An Ayers System Design Specialist determined structural supports were needed to support the home's floor joist. Thus, The team at Ayers suggested and installed SmartJacks! The SmartJack system utilizes a load-bearing concrete base and steel columns that are connected to the floor joist. Once installed, The SmartJack system was able to raise Frank's floor back to level and permanently stabilize his home! 

Frank and Kelly just moved into their home and noticed the foundation started to sink. They wanted to do the renovations themselves but called Ayers to see if we had any advice. We informed Frank and Kelly that this was a job for professionals and that our SmartJacks would be the perfect solution. SmartJacks are steel supports to balance the foundation of your crawl space, lifting it to its original position. They can be adjusted so your home will never shift out of place. Frank and Kelly were grateful that they can sleep peacefully in their new home for years to come.

Daniel and Johnathon recently got their home when they realized the floors were sagging. Unsure of what to do, they contacted us at Ayers Basement Systems, and our team conducted an inspection. Our team concluded the floor joist below needed structural support as the previous supports deteriorated. SmartJacks were installed to level and permanently stabilize the floor. By utilizing load-bearing bases and steel column jacks; our team was able to level the floor and provide a permanent solution for Daniel and Johnathon!
