Before & After Photos

If you have a crack in your basement wall, call a basement company. Foundation cracks are rarely just cracks and often indicate a larger problem. In this case, a contractor tried to simply fill a wall crack with epoxy, but the leak causing the crack didn't really care and continued to leak and, therefore, crack.

We installed the FlexiSpan crack repair system, which seals the crack and remains flexible enough to accommodate any shifting in the surrounding soil.

Brandon noticed slopping in his floors at home, causing him some concern. He decided to contact Ayers to have a professional opinion. Our resident foreman Evan was able to inspect the area and listen to Brandon's concerns.

Evan noticed the home's crawl space was lacking support so decided to install a set of SmartJack piers.

SmartJack piers are metal beams placed strategically along the structure's supportive rim joist. The bottoms are anchored into the ground with poured concrete while the tops are capped with load-bearing joints that are attached to the rim joist. The entire pier's height is adjusted till there is constant pressure being applied, reintroducing support to the entire framework. 

Tim realized that a massive crack in his block foundation had formed. While looking for a solution, Tim contacted Ayers. In return, an Ayers System Design Specialist came to Tims's home to assess the problem and determine the right solution.

The team at Ayers concluded that the GeoLock Wall Anchor System was the best solution for the job. The GeoLock Wall Anchor System utilizes an anchor plate buried in the ground on the other side of the problematic wall. A steel rod is drilled through the problematic wall into the anchor plate. Once connected to the anchor plate, a low-profile wall plate is bolted on the interior side of the wall and attached to the steel rod. The plate is tightened onto the steel rod, creating a pulling pressure on the wall. Once tightened, the wall will be permanently stabilized.

Tim was thrilled to find a solution that would fix the crack in the wall and ultimately straighten and correct it over time. Ayers was happy to be a part of Tims's permanent solution!

Kort noticed the corner of their garage was heaving, noticing water entering through a gap. Wanting the safest and fastest solution they contacted Ayers. Our resident foreman Blade was able to inspect the area and noticed other signs that the foundation was not properly supporting the house. Blade and his team installed Helical Piers around the home to reintroduce foundational support.

Helical Piers are a tool trusted by Ayers due to their non-intrusive nature compared to other foundational repair systems. The piers are long screw-shaped drives that are driven deep under the home at an angle. The drives keep going till they pass the weak soil and find new firm ground. The tops of the piers are capped with load-bearing caps that provide a flat surface for the home to rest upon.

A customer in South Bend, Indiana called us about her basement wall that was bowing. She was scared and wanted our help, so we drove to her property and gave her a free estimate. After analyzing the situation, we decided the best route to save her basement wall from collapsing would be to use our PowerBrace system. PowerBrace is an adjustable vertical beam used to help correct uneven foundation. The PowerBrace is placed up against the walls. Foreman will come in and tighten them over time in homes. The Power Brace is much better than I-Beam styles because it continuously improves the wall. Now that this homeowner has PowerBraces installed in their home, they won't have to worry any longer.
