Before & After Photos

Kathryn realized the cold air entering her crawl space must be causing her frigid upstairs floor. After researching her options, she called Ayers to have it sealed completely. We sent specialists to her house, and after evaluating the space, they recommended rim joist insulation. Sealing these small cracks and crevices creates a barrier against cold air, moisture, and allergens. Kathryn feels much more comfortable in her home!

After recently buying a home, Carlyn realized some foundational problems. The brick foundation walls were bowing and cracking, and the home's integrity was questionable. Carlyn reached out to Ayers to find a solution. After an assessment of her home, the team at Ayers suggested Shotcrete.

Shotcrete is concrete or mortar that is sprayed through a high pressures hose onto a wall or surface; thus sticking and creating structural support. Shotcrete can stabilize foundation walls that are failing through the distribution of weight and pressure. One applied the brick foundation in Carlyn's home was stabilized!

Carol realized there were deep cracks in her basement walls and didn't want them caving in. She called Ayers and we sent a team of experts to her home to examine the issue. They recommended the Supportworks GeoLock Wall Anchor System. These are heavy-duty, galvanized earth anchors designed to be placed in solid, undisturbed soil. The steel rod connecting the ground anchor to the wall anchor provides clamping pressure to stabilize the wall. Carol loves the look of her new basement wall!

Mary noticed her kitchen floor was slanted and worried about the damage this could cause, so she called Ayers to learn about our foundation solutions. We sent our professionals to her home to evaluate and recommended installing the SmartJacks supplemental support system. SmartJacks are hot-dipped in galvanized steel and zinc plated, making them far sturdier than store-bought floor jacks. As the house moves and shifts, the jacks can be adjusted to fit the need. Mary loves the longevity of her new system!

Larry D. called because he had a floor that was sagging about 3/4”. The glass wall located in the bathroom above the floor was exerting too much pressure causing the floor to sag.

In order to support the sagging floor, we installed the effective SmartJack stabilizer system. This installation of this system starts by taking out a cube of soil in the ground and filling it with concrete or crushed stone. A structural footing is then placed in the fill to hold a galvanized steel column that is then connected to the girder above to stabilize the floor and potentially lift it back to its original position.
