Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Kalamazoo, MI, noticed his porch had begun to sink, causing significant concern. The 35-foot-long porch, originally built with a block foundation and some newer cement reinforcement, wasn’t holding up after he attempted to add a beam and walls to create more space. To stabilize the porch, we installed our SmartJack system, reinforcing the foundation and providing the support needed to prevent further sinking, bringing stability back to the home.

Joel grew concerned with the bowing wall in the basement that needed a permanent resolution. He searched for foundation repair companies nearby and landed on Ayers. After inspecting the basement, our system design specialists recommended our GeoLock wall anchor system. This solution will permanently stabilize this problem wall, offering the best chance to straighten it without the cost and disruption of a foundation replacement. We embed heavy-duty earth anchors in stable soil outside the foundation wall. Each anchor gets connected by a steel rod to a wall plate that provides pressure against the inside of the foundation wall. Joel is relieved with this stable, permanent solution!

Steve just bought a house and was going to fix it up himself but he was concerned about the structural issues. He wanted the issues to be fixed and to give him peace of mind that the house was stable. We installed Helical Piers because they are great for stabilizing and restoring foundations. These piers have fast, year-round istallation so you never have to worry that your home can't get fixed due to the season. The piers can even help lift the foundation back to the original positiion.

Sindy called us saying that a corner of her house was falling down. She noticed cracks around the house and counters coming away from the wall. The wooden supports in her crawl space were old and not providing the strength and support that the home above needed. In their place, we were able to install a series of SmartJacks. These jacks are made from a zinc-coated steel making them incredibly strong and resistant to corrosion. They are also adjustable and provide the best opportunity to lift the home back into its original position. Sindy can now worry less about new cracks and start enjoying her home more.

Tim's garage had cracked and sunken in a little in the corner so he called our team. 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.
