Before & After Photos

John owned a 1960's home in St Joseph that was a bilevel on a hill. The exposed foundation of the home had an extensive network of stair step cracking that the owner wanted stabilized so he could begin construction for a second level. We used Push Piers because they are the best option for unknown soil conditions and reaches the greatest depth to support the foundation. The installation is fast, effective, and the soil is back filled afterwards. The piers not only stabilize the home but can lift the foundation back to the correct level.

Jan was dealing with weak foundation support so she decided to make the call to Ayers for professional help. After sending a crew out to her home for a free inspection it was settled that she could use SmartJacks. These will provide the perfect fix as they are steel columns placed on a solid foundation base that carries the weight of the home along with a steel supplemental beam that is attached above the columns for extra support. This will raise the home back to its original position. 

Jan was relieved after receiving this much needed foundation support as she no longer has to worry about the safety of her home!

Cindy realized the floor in her family room was slightly slanted and needed it fixed. She knew she couldn't do this project alone, so she researched her options and called Ayers for help. Our team of experts stopped by her house to assess the space and suggest a solution. They recommended installing SmartJacks, a system of floor jacks hot-dipped in galvanized steel and zinc-plated to promote durability. The base of each SmartJack is placed two feet below the surface to reduce load-bearing stress by up to ninety percent. Cindy can't believe how balanced her floor is!

Fran was looking into getting better foundation support in her basement so she called up Ayers. After we had a crew inspect this area it was settled she could use SmartJacks. With SmartJacks these are steel column support structures that are attached to a solid base at the bottom. This will carry the weight of the home and over time this system will lift the home to its original position.

Fran was grateful to get this serious support issue addressed once and for all!

This basement had bowing block walls with stair step cracks in multiple walls. We installed wall anchors on each wall to stabilize the walls and hopefully straighten them over time by tightening the anchors.
