Before & After Photos

Walls were beginning to bow and crack in a customer’s basement so he called our team. We installed CarbonArmor, a wall reinforcing system. This system was constructed to repair damaged and bowing foundation walls. Both of these problems are serious and will only get worse over time. Therefore CarbonArmor is used to fix your foundation walls by preventing inward movement and reducing the cracks in your walls. This system can easily be concealed for your basement to have a sleek, finished look.

Chelsey began to have issues with her home and wasn't sure why. She decided to get a professional opinion and set up an inspection with Ayers. The team at Ayers concluded Chelsey's floor was bowing because the main beam that supported the home sat on a stone wall that was settling. However, SmartJacks would offer Chelsey a great solution as the SmartJack system will level and permanently stabilize a home! After the SmartJack system was installed, Chelsey's house was leveled, and she no longer needed to worry about an unstable home!

Dave watched the cracks in his basement walls grow and deepen over the years and had reached his breaking point. He researched his foundation wall repair options and called Ayers to learn more. We sent our specialists to his home to evaluate and recommend a solution. They suggested GeoLock wall anchors designed to stabilize cracking walls. A ground anchor is placed away from the home in solid, undisturbed soil, and the two anchors are connected by a steel rod to secure the wall in place. Dave is glad he called Ayers to get the job done!

You probably have seen basements with stone walls, because they are very popular in Michigan and Indiana. Well, unfortunately that is terrible for your foundation, they are hard to fix once they crack and crumble.  So we used Shotcrete on this home in Nappanee. We start by connecting the old wall to a framework that will help support the concrete being sprayed on the wall. We just build the new wall right on top of the other wall. This has fewer risk than lifting the entire house does and it is quicker and cheaper, making it easy for you. You won't even need to leave your home. This concrete will strengthen this home for many more years to come. 

This family cottage sits right on the beach and they wanted to make sure their beloved cottage was going to last another 100 years, for generations to come. The homeowners noticed the floor was starting to sink and were not level throughout the home and most of the windows and doors were sticking, all signs that the foundation is settling. 

We were able to fix the settling floors and sticking windows and doors by installing out SmartJack crawl space stabilizers. The SmartJacks are made of galvanized steel so they won't rust and will remain solid for years to come. These jacks can withhold more than 60,000 pounds. This is more than enough to transfer the weight of your home to the SmartJacks, leaving you with a level floor.
