Before & After Photos

We received a call from some homeowners from Grand Rapids that was having issues with their squeaky floorboards, so we drove to their home to see for ourselves. After inspection we decided to install our advanced SmartJack system.  The SmartJack is a support system used to stabilize and level the floor joists in a crawl space. This system can support up to 60,000 pounds. The SmartJack system is placed on strong concrete fillings that have replaced the soil in that small location underneath the SmartJack. Now this homeowner will not have to worry about bad floors ever again.

Josh's front porch is shifted and it is moving away from the home. The brick column at the edge of the porch is cracking and the area around it is settled. Josh is worried that the porch will pull on the house and make more issues than there already is. We helped them out by installing Helical Piers which can have sections added to reach the hard soil it anchors into. The pier will stabilize the porch as well as possibly returning it to the original position. The pier system has fast year-round installation too so the homeowners will not be disturbed. 

This Grand Rapids home had a foundation wall that was cracked and bowing. They were nervous about the home and wanted a solution that would stabilize the wall permanently. We used the GeoLock Wall Anchors which are made of steel and provide a long-lasting solution to prevent further movement in the wall. They won't take up space in the basement and the installation won't disrupt the lawn.

Jacob plans on finishing his Kentwood, MI basement and wants to add another bedroom. To do so, he called Ayers for an inspection for an egress window installation. 

Egress windows from Ayers bring safety and beauty in one. Building codes require that basement living spaces must have a large enough window to safely evacuate in case of emergency. Our windows have built-in steps and durable covers that hold up to 500 pounds. Because adding an egress window requires cutting a hole in the foundation, a window installation company is not the safest option. Ayers knows foundations and knows how to install an egress window properly. 

Jason was thrilled with the installation done by the Ayers crew. He was more than satisfied with the egress window and can’t wait to finish the rest of the basement! 

Marcy was sick of the foundation crack that was causing her all sorts of trouble like water leaks. She made the right call talking to Ayers and getting an appointment set up. After an inspection we went forward with installing CarbonArmor and our CleanSpace Wall System to address these issues. First with Carbon Armor these carbon fiber straps will fix the bowing wall by preventing further inward movement. Then with the CleanSpace Wall System this will cover these foundation walls and act as a vapor barrier to combat excess vapor or moisture with its poly sheet material. 

Marcy was happy to get these serious issues resolved before they jeopardized the safety of her home!
