Using PolyLevel to Fix Concrete Slabs in East Leroy, MI

There were huge cracks and uneven spots around Steve's pool. So he called our team and we installed PolyLevel, a waterproof and long-lasting system designed to fix concrete slabs that have sunk by a polyurethane foam. This foam expands and has a high density in order to raise the concrete. The process is quite simple and is done by drilling small holes into the concrete and then inserting the foam into the holes.

Bowed Walls in East Leroy, MI

John and Sherry needed help repairing their bowed basement wall. So our team installed the GeoLock Anchor System which permanently stabilizes walls and in most cases it can eventually straighten the wall back to its original position. The system is installed by putting heavy anchors in stable soil away from your foundation wall. This system is ideal because it involves minimal disturbance to your lawn and home.

Sinking Corner of Front Porch Lifted in Olivet, MI

Bob was experiencing a major foundation issue with the corner of his front porch. The corner of the porch was slowly sinking for quite sometime, but recently had accelerated sinking. Our professional foundation team stepped in and installed a few piers around the porch in order to help support and lift the corner back into position. The Helical Piers are the piers that we used in this project. To install the piers, we excavated a small hole around the outside of the porch to expose the home's footer. We then drill long steel piering shafts into the ground until they reach competent soil that can reliably support the weight of the home. This allows for the corner to be put back in its original position. The fix is permanent and incredibly reliable!

Supporting a Collapsing Foundation Wall in Olivet, MI, with SmartJacks

Albert's old home in Olivet had a collapsing foundation wall in need of a support system to protect the safety of his home. He trusted Ayers for the job, so he gave us a call. Our team concluded that SmartJacks were required to prevent the wall collapse. First, our team had to remove part of the stones that made up this wall to create room for the steel jacks. The tube steel used for SmartJacks consists of a strong triple-layer, in-line galvanizing coating. This foundation repair solution can support loads over 60,000 pounds, and the steel columns rest on a sturdy base within the ground. Albert feels confident with the new foundation support he desperately needs!

Helical Piers Stabilize Old Wooden Horse Barn in Fowlerville, MI

Dina's Barn was built in the 1970s with a wood foundation and it has begun to sink. She called Ayers for an inspection and our crew determined that Helical Piers, holding the barn up from the outside, would be the perfect solution. 

Helical Piers are made of steel helix-shaped blades that are screwed into the soil and the piers that can be extended to the appropriate depth. They're attached to the foundation's footing so the weight is evenly distributed and the barn is permanently stabilized. 

Dina was grateful to have the old horse barn fixed up and useable again, and our crew loved spending time with her goats!
