Before & After Photos

This 100 year old home in Mishawaka has sagging floors. Phillip bought the home to renovate it and has finished redoing the exterior. His next project is the basement but he knows the floors need to have a better solution than the temporary one he had put up. We installed SmartJacks to stabilize the main level floors and raise them back to the original level. They are steel posts that attach to the floor joists and have a stable base at the floor- they are cemented to the ground. The posts are adjustable anytime for the home in case it needs it, providing a permanent solution to the sagging floor!

Terri's enclosed porch was sinking and his brick walls were separating so he called our team. Our team installed helical piers to stop the settlement and overtime bring the foundation back to its original level. We installed the helical piers deep into the soil underneath the foundation for a quick installation and permanent solution.

A customer needed help repairing the foundation in part of his home because the bricks were separating from each other and causing the floor to crack. So our team installed helical piers to stop any settlement. Overtime the piers will bring the foundation back to its original level. We installed the helical piers deep into the soil underneath the foundation for a quick installation and permanent solution. 

Laurie and Jim’s found Ayers through their neighbor, who we did work for a few years ago. They were enjoying their retirement in their Edwardsburg, MI lake home when they noticed sagging floors above the crawlspace. They called Ayers and when we came for an inspection, our crew saw that the old foundation supports were extremely corroded and needed to be replaced. 

Our crew decided SmartJacks would be the perfect solution for their home. SmartJacks are steel supports that balance the foundation of the crawlspace, lifting it to its original position. They can be adjusted so the home will never shift out of place and are anchored into the ground with poured concrete. 

Laurie and Jim were ecstatic to get their peace of mind back regarding the structural integrity of their home. This home will be their forever home and Laurie and Jim are so excited to start this new chapter together. 

One of the newest products we have here at Ayers is shotcrete, and it’s pretty awesome. If you haven’t already, I highly suggest you check it out. This new process gives us the ability to create new concrete foundations almost anywhere, and a lot of customers have been taking advantage of it.

We received a call from a customer in Charlotte, MI where we had installed a waterproofing system last year. She had heard about our new service and was interested in having a new, slightly wider front porch. The first step for the team was removing the worn out concrete. Once the frame for the new slab was laid out and the support for the roof ensured, it was as simple as shooting concrete out of a fire hose. Which, as it turns out, is actually a pretty quick process. The after photo was taken when the slab was finished being poured. The crew would later return when the concrete was drier and reinstall the column supports.

If you’re interested in enjoying the summer breeze from a brand new front porch as well, then give us a call to find out more about our Shotcrete services.
