Before & After Photos

Sal worried the cracked walls in his basement would cave in and he wasn't sure what to do. After researching his options, he called Ayers to learn about our foundation solutions. Our team of experts evaluated and decided he needed the Supportworks GeoLock wall anchor system. Wall anchors are heavy-duty, galvanized earth anchors placed in solid soil with a steel rod connecting the ground anchor to an inside anchor on the basement wall, providing clamping pressure to stabilize the wall. Sal is glad he called Ayers!

These homeowners called as they were doing some new construction on their home and noticed a fairly significant horizontal crack in their basement wall. Upon inspection, we were able to observe some bowing in the wall. A level against the blocks showed a significant difference between the the crack and the top and bottom of the wall. We had definitely seen worse, but bowing walls are not something to wait on. Often the repairs become significantly more expensive over time and the walls become more dangerous. Now was the time to address it. We installed a series of wall anchors to support the wall. Steel wall plates on the interior of the home are connected to GeoLock Earth Anchors buried in the ground away from the home with long steel rods. Over time, the wall anchors can be tightened with the potential of improving the condition of the wall. This is a permanent fix that will prevent further bowing and will give these homeowners peace of mind.

Joel grew concerned with the bowing wall in the basement that needed a permanent resolution. He searched for foundation repair companies nearby and landed on Ayers. After inspecting the basement, our system design specialists recommended our GeoLock wall anchor system. This solution will permanently stabilize this problem wall, offering the best chance to straighten it without the cost and disruption of a foundation replacement. We embed heavy-duty earth anchors in stable soil outside the foundation wall. Each anchor gets connected by a steel rod to a wall plate that provides pressure against the inside of the foundation wall. Joel is relieved with this stable, permanent solution!

Alisha had a support beam in her crawl space that was cracking and it was causing her floors to become uneven. We installed the SmartJack Crawl Space Support System to stabilize the beam and support the floors above. This system not only stops further sinking and cracking but will raise the floors back up to a level position! 

Thomas realized his basement walls had large, deep voids in them. The voids allowed moisture seepage, and he didn't know how to fix it, so he called Ayers for help. Our trained specialists visited his home to examine the basement and recommend a solution. They suggested Shotcrete, which applies a concrete or mortar wet spray through a high-pressure hose to fill a form or repair damaged surfaces. Thomas loves having sealed basement walls!
