Before & After Photos

Mr. Crawford has tenents in his newly owned property. Knowing that renters are maying for quality, he needed to find a solution for his drifting chimney. After contacting Ayers our foreman Bruce was able to find the source of the drift, settling earth. The ground beneath a foundation can shift, no matter how sturdy the home.

Bruce and his team installed a noninvasive HelicalPier system at the base of the chimney to correct the drifting and prevent further settling.

HelicalPiers are steel stakes that are driven deep into the ground at the base of the structure. The rods are driven past the weak dirt and into solid ground. The tops of the piers have reinforced concrete blocks that the home rests on. The piers are positioned to correct the drifting and are a permanent solution to Mr. Crawford's issue.

A homeowner from Boon, Michigan called us referring to his basement foundation walls. He wanted our professional help fixing it.  We drove to his property and gave him a free estimate. After inspection, we noticed that wall anchors would be perfect for this basement. We install these by digging a tiny hole in that are a few feet away from the home. Then we drill a steel rod through a 1-inch hole in the basement wall. After that, the rod connects to an anchor that is placed in the hole of the soil. Once we place the plates on afterward, we have permanently stabilized the basement. So now the homeowner doesn't have to worry about an unsafe basement ever again.

Earlier this year we received a call from Eric, a homeowner in Boon, MI. Eric wanted to know if we could help him with the bow/cracking wall problem in his garage. Luckily, our new friend called the right professionals to guide him in his fight against the stubborn walls.

Here at Ayers, we have several options to reinforce, and straighten bowing/cracked walls. In Eric's case, his free inspection revealed the need for a solution consisting of several wall anchors. After having additional estimates drawn up, our new friend found the Ayers solution to be the best fit for him. The Wall anchors here in Eric's garage are perfect for returning the wall back to its original position and reinforcing the entire foundation. We stabilized the garage with a steel rod that runs from the wall anchor to an anchor placed in the exterior of the garage. In time, the wall anchors will work to reverse the forces of nature and straighten Eric's wall. No matter what bowing/cracking wall issues you face, we can provide an effective and affordable solution. Call us today, to see how we can help you!

Kalman realized the slanted floor in his den was getting worse. The store-bought floor jacks he installed were sinking along with the house, and he was frustrated, so he researched his options and called Ayers for help. We sent our specialists to his home, and they recommended installing the SmartJacks supplemental support system. SmartJacks are 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 beneath the surface to reduce load-bearing stress. Kalman can't believe how effective his new system is!

Dwayne and his wife have had a cabin for about 4 years and have a basement wall with stair step and horizontal cracking. They noticed it a little bit ago as a small crack but it has slowly started to grow and the wall looks a if it starting to bow. We installed CarbonArmor to stabilize the wall and keep the home safe. This system installs quickly, does not require excavation, and will not impact a future finished basement!
