Before & After Photos

A cracking, bowing, tilting, or buckling foundation wall can mean serious trouble for not only your foundation, but for your entire home. To save their foundation wall, this Grand Rapids, MI family gave us a call. Upon a professional inspection, one of our specialists recommended our patented PowerBrace foundation wall repair system. PowerBrace uses steel I-beams that secure to the joists above the wall, offering a great amount of support for foundation walls, and may have the power to bring back the walls to their original position. This family no longer has to worry about their safety in their home with PowerBrace.

Scott had cracks appearing in the middle and corners of his drywall. He called our team and we installed the GeoLock Anchor System. This system permanently stabilized Scott's wall. In most cases it can eventually straighten the wall back to its original position. It is done by putting heavy anchors in stable soil away from your foundation wall. This system is ideal because it involves minimal disturbance to Scott's lawn and home. For Scott, we also installed the wall plate part of the GeoLock system. These plates can easily be covered to allow your basement to have a finished look. 

Ronald M. called because of a crack he had in his foundation basement wall. The crack was spreading to the floor and was beginning to contribute to other foundation issues.

We installed the CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System to fix the cracked foundation wall. The strips in this system are made from a fiber reinforced polymer that is 10 times stronger than steel. The straps are attached to the wall using apoxy resin, which will stabilize the wall and shift it back to its original position.

The homeowners in Grand Rapids, MI had vertical cracks going down one of their walls in their basement. Vertical cracks on your basement walls are a sign of foundation and structural failure. Weakened foundation walls can have a significant impact on your home's stability and value, and it's essential to address these problems quickly and effectively.

Our professional team installed the GeoLock Wall Anchors system to fix this homes foundation. Wall anchors work by extending from your wall to the stable, hard packed soil beyond your home. They anchor into these stronger soils and brace the foundation wall, preventing further movement. Wall anchors are installed with minimal disruption to your lawn, and they won't damage the interior of your basement or take up usable space. These wall anchors are made of galvanized steel for a long-lasting solution that will prevent any further inward movement of your walls.

Liz's beautiful home enjoys a beautiful from her back porch, but due to the home's placement on a slope, it began to settle and cause the foundational soil to become compromised. Not fixable herself, Liz needed a reliable contractor so she contacted Ayres.

Our foreman Evan was able to inspect the surrounding area and draft a plan to fix the home that both parties could agree to. Even prescribed a set of Helical Piers to reintroduce stability into the home's foundational soil. The piers are long screw-shaped metal drives that are installed at an angle under the home. The drives are driven deep past the weak soil till they find frim ground. The tops of the drives are fitted with concrete blocks that provide a flat surface for the home to rest upon.
