Before & After Photos

Mr. Emmert was suffering from foundational issues that were causing unsightly problems with his basement. Wanting to keep the space usable as a gym, he contacted Ayers to find a stabilization method that would give his home the best support, all while saving as much space as possible. After contacting our team, Ayers's resident foreman Blade was able to inspect the home and draft a treatment plan that met Mr. Emmert's needs and budget.

Blade prescribed PowerBraces for the structure. By lining the weak wall with steel beams that fix to the rim joist, they are able to push the wall back into place all while adding new support to the basement. A permeate solution, these braces can be easily hidden or even have drywall placed over it.

Now Mr. Emmert has a safe and stable home, all while never sacrificing living space.

The walkway to this home in Grand Rapids, MI was sinking, proving to be not only an eyesore, but a tripping hazard. Luckily, there’s a quick and effective solution to fix this: PolyLevel. The PolyLevel systems works to raise concrete slabs by injecting high-density polymers into the slabs. This material is lightweight and dries quickly, so the sidewalk can be walked on in 15 minutes. PolyLevel dramatically improves the appearance of the sidewalk, eliminating a tripping hazard, too.

A customer from Grand Rapids noticed that his basement was overly affected by the temperature outside. So, he called us for our professional help. We gave him a free estimate and decided that the best thing for this basement would be CleanSpace technology. CleanSpace is a 20 mil thick plastic liner that fits to the crawl space to completely seal the home from the earth. Polyester cord reinforcement allows for a lot of durability, to make it last longer than the home will. This liner also contains an antimicrobial additive to prevent mold. Now, this homeowner won't have to worry about a basement that changes temperature all of the time again.

This Grand Rapids homeowner has linear cracks on the basement walls. When there is heavy rain, water enters through the cracks. He does have a perimeter drain and sump pump, but he can not finish his basement until the walls are fixed and water is not entering the area. We installed the PowerBrace Wall Repair System to stabilize the walls and possibly straighten the wall. The system is made up of steel I-beams that are secured to the joists above the wall. This system doesn't involve any exterior excavation and installs quickly with minimal disruption to your basement space.

We were called to Ed's house when he realized the walls in the basement were cracking. Upon inspection, we discovered that his walls were bowing due to the home settling. There were cracks on the foundation walls outisde the home as well. We installed Helical Piers to stabilize the home and even help lift the foundation back to the original level.
