Before & After Photos

Allisa and Daniel's home was built over 120 years ago and were terrified it was going to collapse and someone was going to get hurt. Walls and floors were sinking and settling and their were cracks everywhere, so they called Ayers. Our crew determined that Helical Piers would be the perfection 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 home is permanently stabilized. Allisa and Daniel were beyond grateful that they no longer have to worry about their safety and the safety of their loved ones. 

Daryl made the call to Ayers as he discovered we had support posts made for basements and crawl spaces that would help support his home! We had a team come out to his home to inspect the area and from this they determined SmartJacks would correct his support issues. SmartJacks are steel support columns that we connected to a sturdy supplemental beam above and a solid base below the floor that holds the weight of the home. They will even raise the floors back to their original position and prevent sagging that causes the floors to bounce. Daryl was happy to get these support problems tackled right away so matters didn't get worse in the future!

Larry D. called because he had a floor that was sagging about 3/4”. The glass wall located in the bathroom above the floor was exerting too much pressure causing the floor to sag.

In order to support the sagging floor, we installed the effective SmartJack stabilizer system. This installation of this system starts by taking out a cube of soil in the ground and filling it with concrete or crushed stone. A structural footing is then placed in the fill to hold a galvanized steel column that is then connected to the girder above to stabilize the floor and potentially lift it back to its original position. 

For many of us, the idea of walls closing in on us is a terrifying thought. It’s even more terrifying when there’s the potential for that to come true in your own home.

The walls of this basement in Hopkins, MI were adorned with stair-step cracks and diagonal cracking at the corners—both signs of wall failure. When one of the walls in the basement started to bow, or buckle in the middle, the homeowners knew that things were getting serious.

Our team visited the home and got to work stabilizing the walls using the Power Brace System. These steel beams are fixed to the floor joists, and can be tightened over time to help straighten the walls. The zinc coating on the beams makes them resistant to corrosion, so you can be sure they’ll do their job for years to come. 

The concrete in Marshall’s driveway was uneven so he called our team. To fix his problem, we installed PolyLevel, a system designed to fix concrete slabs that have sunk by using 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.
