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.

Jennifer called us becuase she noticed cracking outside her house. Upon insepction, it was determined that the corner of the home was settling. We installed Helical Piers to support the cracking foundation. Helical Piers are great becuase they stabilize the foundation but can also lift settled foundations back up to the original position. 

Jen was moving but during the first open house, there were concerns about the foundation of the house. She wanted to fix the problem before the house was sold. We found that the foundation was settling in one corner of the home and we had the perfect solution. We installed Helical Piers to not only support the sinking home but also iift it back to the original position. The piers have have a quick, year-round installation so we can save your home in any season!

Mike and Julie had a basement wall that was cracked and starting to bow so they called us for a solution. We used the CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System to stabilize the wall. The system is made up of flexible carbon fabric straps that are 10 times stronger in tension than steel. The straps are are then bonded to the wall using a high strength resin. This system requires no exterior excavation, installs quickly, and won't impact future basement finishing.
