Saving Sagging Floors with SmartJack in Dowling, MI

Judy's floor was sagging due to her main beam deteriorating in her crawl space. She called our team asking about possible repair options and we installed SmartJack. SmartJack is a system produced to halt your sagging floors. Floors above crawl spaces are vulnerable due to the moisture and soils in your crawl space. The SmartJack system uses steel columns, threaded rods and a solid base to address any issues your crawl space may introduce to your floors. Installing this system usually takes less than a day and it provides immediate stabilization.

Installing the GeoLock Anchor System in Big Rapids, MI

John had huge cracks running the length of one wall and another wall that was bowing inwards. He was worried about the foundation problems in his basement, so he called our team. We installed the GeoLock Anchor system that permanently stabilizes walls. In most cases, it can eventually straighten the wall back to its original position. The system is installed by putting heavy anchors in stable soil away from your foundation wall. This system is ideal because it involves minimal disturbance to your lawn and home.

John had one wall with huge cracks running the length of the wall and another wall that was bowing inwards. He was worried about the foundation problems in his basement so he called our team. We installed SmartJack, a system that uses steel columns, threaded rods and a solid base to address stabilization issues. Rooms above crawl spaces are vulnerable due to the moisture and soils in crawl spaces. However, SmartJack is placed inside the crawl space to secure the rooms above. Installing this system usually takes less than a day and it provides immediate stabilization.

GeoLock Wall Anchors Stabilize Big Rapids, MI, Wall

Barbara basement walls were cracking, and she worried if they were left untreated, those cracks would continue to grow. She needed help, so she researched and called Ayers to learn about our solutions. A team of experts visited her property to evaluate and recommend a solution. They suggested GeoLock wall anchors, which are anchored to the failing wall and connected to a ground anchor by a steel rod. The ground anchor is placed away from the home in solid, undisturbed soil to secure the connection. Barbara feels more comfortable in her home!

Failing Wall Stabilized with Wall Anchors in Mesick, MI

This customer called because he noticed significant cracking in his basement wall. Our team of experts visited his home and found a sure sign of wall failure: horizontal cracking. Horizontal cracks usually start out small and continue to increase in size over time. Without a proper fix, the soil outside of his home will continue to put constant pressure on the wall, causing it to crack and bow inward even further. This can cause serious problems for a homeowner in the future if it is not taken care of. 

 

To prevent his wall from failing we decided to install the Geo-Lock anchor system. This system involved the installation of steel earth anchors underneath the soil out away from the home. These anchors are then connected and secured to steel plates located on the foundation wall using steel rods. This ensures your wall is stabilized and will not continue to bow inward any further. A great benefit of these wall anchors is that the rods can be tightened during dry periods when the soil is not pushing on the house as much, which can begin to straighten the wall over time.
