Before & After Photos

Elizabeth and her husband recently purchased their 1999 Farwell, MI home knowing it had some cracks in the foundation and water intrusion. The rest of the house was perfect for them to raise their family. The couple called Ayers so they could have all the foundation problems resolved before moving in. Our crew came out for an inspection determined they would need CarbonArmor to address their foundational problems. 

CarbonArmor is a flexible, fabric like epoxy that is 10x stronger than steel. The epoxy adheres to your basement or crawl space walls and penetrates the surface to reinforce and stabilize.   

Elizabeth and her husband were thrilled with the work completed by Ayers. They are so excited to be able to move their family into the new home knowing its completely safe and stable for them. The couple cannot wait use the basement for storage for now and are excited about the possibility of finishing it.

This homeowner called because the wood foundation located below the sunroom in his home was sinking. To immediately stabilize the foundation and lift the room back to its original position, we installed Helical Piers. 

To start this installation, we first removed soil outside of the foundation wall that was deep enough to place the piers in stronger soil below the home. The piers were then placed under the base of the foundation wall and were drilled deep into the ground. This system immediately stabilized the sunroom by transferring the weight of the foundation to the pier and to the stable soil below the home. 

Carl D. will now have a stabilized and leveled sunroom thanks to this fast and effective pier installation. 

James had a basement wall that was bowing and had about 3 inches of movement. He wanted to correct the wall to keep the home safe. We used PowerBraces to prevent the wall from moving any further and could potentially straighten the wall. The PowerBraces include steel I-beams that are secured to the joists above the wall with steel brackets.

Billy has owned his Lake, MI home for 22 years since it was built in 2000. He’s had been having water intrusion issues for a few years, but keep cleaning it up himself. Billy is unable to use the space anymore and he’s lost personal property due to the water. Recently, he recently noticed a bowing wall and finally decided to call Ayers. Our crew came out for an inspection and determined that with Billy’s needs, PowerBraces would be the perfect solution to curb the water intrusion and reinforce the foundation. 

PowerBraces are steel supports that secure to the joists above the foundation. They even distribute the weight of the home, strengthening the foundation overtime.  Now that his foundation is stabilized properly, there’ll be less water intrusion as well as a more safe and secure foundation. Billy was thrilled with the work done by Ayers as he wants to be able to pass the home down to his daughter. He will definitely be calling us int he future if any other problems arise!

John needed to have a professional inspection for his block retaining wall that was starting to crack. After he called Ayers and we had a crew conduct this free inspection, it was settled that our GeoLock Anchors would do the trick. These are large steel plates that are attached to the affected wall and consist of a steel cable that runs through the wall and out to stable soil, where they're anchored by a smaller plate in the ground. This system can be tightened over time for better adjustments that will potentially straighten the wall in the future as well. John was glad he got this serious foundation issue addressed with a trustworthy solution that will stop the wall from bowing any further!
