Before & After Photos

In East Jordan, MI, a homeowner was struggling with a sagging crawl space foundation in their historic home. After attempting to stabilize the floors with concrete blocks and wood planks, it became clear that a more permanent solution was needed. That’s when they reached out to Ayers.

Our team installed SmartJacks and supplemental beams to provide the necessary support and stabilize the sagging floors. Now, with a lasting solution in place, the homeowner can enjoy peace of mind, knowing their home’s foundation is secure and they won’t have to rely on makeshift DIY fixes again.

Bruce noticed the floor in his living room had a slight slant. It wasn't causing him too much trouble, but he didn't want the problem to worsen, so he called Ayers. A team of specialists stopped by his home and recommended SmartJacks. Designed to be far sturdier than store-bought floor jacks, SmartJacks are hot-dipped in galvanized steel and zinc-plated to ensure they last with the house. Bruce can't believe how level his living room floor is!

We received a call from a homeowner in Leland, MI that had some sagging floors. We drove to their property so that we could help. After looking at their home we found the root of the issue, their crawlspace. They had no support for the floor above it, so it began to sag. We then installed our SmartJack system. 

The SmartJack is a support system used to stabilize and level the floor joists in a crawl space. This system can support up to 60,000 pounds. The SmartJack system is placed on strong concrete fillings that have replaced the soil in that small location underneath the SmartJack. Now, this homeowner will never have to worry about unsafe saggy floors ever again.

Our friends Tom and his daughter Julie from Leland, MI found themselves facing a foundation support issue and they knew that they would eventually need to seek help from trusted experts. That’s why they called us when they realized the sagging beams in their crawlspace needed more support than their homemade braces could give. Upon diagnosing their needs, we installed four Smart Jacks and a new support beam to stabilize their home. The Smart Jack is a supplemental support system for crawl space applications. The Smart Jack effectively supports sagging beams and floor joists caused by, a length of span greater than spanning capability, floor load increased after construction, exceeding design values, and weakening over time due to high moisture and rot. With this innovative stability solution in place, Julie can rest assured that her dad’s home will forever be supported.

Greg's home is over 100 years old and was in serious need of foundational support since his current support beams were starting to twist and crack, so he gave Ayers a call for help. After inspecting the area our crew was able to conclude that he needed SmartJacks for support. SmartJacks will add strength and stability to the foundation as they are steel support columns that will stabilize his home. The support beam will properly lift the home to a level, stable position.

Greg was glad he made the call to ensure the safety of his older home!
