Before & After Photos

Donald and Meredith’s home was built in 1941. A foundation wall recently fell in, leaving a gaping hole in the side of their Carson City, MI house. The couple called Ayers Basement Systems for an inspection immediately. Our crew determined that they would need SmartJacks and Helical Piers to stabilize the foundation. 

SmartJacks are steel supports that balance the foundation of the crawlspace, lifting it to its original position. They can be adjusted so the home will never shift out of place and are anchored into the ground with poured concrete. Helical Piers are made of steel helix-shaped blades that are screwed into the soil and the piers that can be extended to the appropriate depth. They're attached to the foundation’s footing, so the weight is evenly distributed and the home is permanently sturdy.

Donald and Meredith were ecstatic when we cleared out the old mess of a fallen wall and promptly stabilized their home. They can sleep soundly at night knowing this nightmare is over and they can go back to their lives with more peace of mind. 

This homeowner called us because their backyard sloped towards the house and was pushing against the walls. The pressure was causing horizontal and vertical cracks in their house. We installed GeoLock Anchors to the home to stabilize the walls. The GeoLock Anchors include steel rods that extend from the house into hard stable soil to prevent further movement. They cause minimal disruption to the lawn and don't take up space in your basement. This system is a long lasting solution to bowing or buckling walls!

A homeowners garage wall was being pushed inwards causing cracks with one crack being 1/8 of an inch deep. We installed the PowerBrace Foundation Wall Repair System to stop further movement. This system is made up of steel beams that are secured to joists above the wall with steel brakets. The beams stop damage from occuring and can potentially straighten the wall. Thei nstallation is quick and has very minimal disruption to your garage space.

This Grand Ledge home was up forsale but there was a bowing wall in the basement. The prospective buyers wanted it to be fixed so they called us to see what we could do to save the wall. We installed GeoLock Wall Anchors for them to halt further movement of the wall. These wall anchors are made of galvanized steel and work by extending from your wall into the hard, stable soil beyond your home. They brace the stronger soil to stabilize the foundation wall. 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.

 John and Patty noticed different signs forming in their home, pointing towards a problematic foundation. The couple called Ayers to find a solution before things got worse. After an inspection of their home, the Ayers team believed that GeoLock Wall Anchors would be perfect for the job. GeoLock Wall Anchors create a pulling pressure on the wall that will bring it back to its original position and permanently stabilize it. The system will stop the foundation from bowing and provide a permanent solution! With these anchors installed, John and Patty's foundation will no longer cause them problems!
