Before & After Photos

Steve noticed the cracks in his walls were deepening and hoped to prevent further damage, so he called Ayers for help. We sent our specialists to his home, and they recommended the installation of GeoLock wall anchors. The wall anchors are made of galvanized steel and fastened to the compromised wall. A ground anchor is placed away from the house in undisturbed soil and connected to the wall anchor by a steel rod. Once the whole system is tightened, the foundation wall will be permanently stabilized. Steve feels much more comfortable in his home!

Mike was dealing with cracks in his foundation walls so he gave Ayers a call for possible remedies. Our Ayers System Design Specialists came out for inspection and determined we would install our CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System as the perfect solution for this issue. 

CarbonArmor consists of reinforcing straps made from a fiber-reinforced polymer that's much stronger than steel. These are installed by attaching the straps to the wall with epoxy resin and then secured to the joists above with steel brackets. This wall system will stabilize these important foundation walls and make sure it's secure to protect against future bowing. This system can also be painted to blend in with your walls or even covered with a wall finishing.

Mike was relieved to have these foundation cracks addressed with our CarbonArmor protection!

Travis knew the floor in his living room had a steep slant and decided it was time to fix the problem. After researching his options online, he decided to call Ayers for help. Our team of professionals went to his house to evaluate and recommended installing SmartJacks. As a collection of floor jacks working together, SmartJacks are far more durable than store-bought floor jacks. SmartJacks are hot-dipped in galvanized steel and zinc-plated, while their bases are placed two feet below the surface to reduce load-bearing stress. Travis is happy to have balance!

Brandon called us to take a look at a large diagonal crack in his Michigan-style basement. His concern was that the crack would become more severe as the wall slowly failed. If left alone, Brandon was very right. Cracks like these don't just get better. It was only going to get worse unless something was done.

The best solution in this case was a series of 3 PowerBraces. These zinc-coated steel I-beams help to support the home above and evenly distribute the weight that they're supporting. They extend from the floor to ceiling where they connect to the joists at the top of the wall. What makes these beams unique from other I-beams is that they feature a tightening system at the top which allows the homeowner or our service team to possibly straighten and improve the condition of the wall over time. When we fix walls, we fix them with solutions that are intended to be a "once and for all" fix. Brandon won't be losing any sleep over this crack in the years to come.

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.
