Before & After Photos

We installed CleanSpace Wall System in the crawl space of Helen's lakefront home a few years ago, and it has worked wonders. Helen told us she has been saving money on her heating bills and the whole house stays much warmer in the winter. She wants this to be her forever home, so there's a few things she wanted to get in tip-top shape. She called Ayers for an inspection and we noticed many of the supplemental beams were rusted and falling apart, and the floors were beginning to sag. Our crew determined that we would need to replace them with SmartJacks to stabilize the foundation. 

SmartJacks are steel supports that balance the foundation of the crawl space, lifting it to its original position. They can be adjusted so the home will never shift out of place. We anchor them into the ground with poured concrete, and regular flooring can be placed on top. 

Our crew loved hearing Helen's stories, and she was ecstatic that we could get her beautiful lake home stabilized for life. Ayers was so happy to be able to help this loyal customer. 

This 70-year-old home in Portage had sagging floors that felt springy and uneven, thanks to years of DIY support using wood planks and cinderblocks in the dirt crawl space. The customer knew they needed a more permanent solution to avoid further structural issues.

Ayers installed SmartJacks with a supplemental beam to reinforce the floorboards from below. We excavated the soil and backfilled with engineered fill to create a solid foundation for the SmartJacks. Now, with the floors stable and even, the homeowner can finally enjoy their living space without worrying about shifting supports.

Geeta needed help leveling her porch because a concrete slab was sinking. So our team installed PolyLevel, a system designed to fix concrete slabs that have sunk by using a new product to lift the concrete slabs back to their original level. The new product used is a polyurethane foam that 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. Also, the PolyLevel system is waterproof and long-lasting.

Our customer care team at Ayers answered a call from a homeowner worried about his buckling, noisy floors. Better foundation support in the crawl space was what Carl needed. Our team set up a time for a free inspection of the crawl space so that our professionals could make the best recommendations. Our System Design Specialists ended up recommending SmartJacks. First, with SmartJacks, this supplemental support system is meant for crawl spaces and will support sagging beams and floor joists. It is installed by attaching steel support beams to the floor joists and a sturdy base in the floor. The steel columns can easily be extended and will raise the floors back to a level position once again. This system will correct the creaky, sagging floors that Carl was tired of dealing with!

Christine was buying a new home with a basement. Her one major concern with the space was that a horizontal crack in the block walls served as a sign of some significant bowing. She was looking for a way to ensure that the walls were permanently supported and possibly straightened. We had the cure. PowerBraces are a zinc-coated steel I-beam that support the home above, prevent further bowing, and use a unique tightening feature to potentially improve the condition of the wall over time. PowerBraces generally extend from the floor to the floor joists above. In this case, the PowerBraces were installed on the cement shelf so a uniquely shorter PowerBrace was used.
