Sagging Floor Stabilized With SmartJacks in Constantine, MI

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. 

SmartJack Helps Crawl Space Support

Larry noticed multiple supportive issues with his home that he's been in since 2009. Knowing that It was built by the previous owner under little supervision, he knew he had a potentially major issue. Wanting to find a solution from a reliable company unlike the initial contractors, he contacted Ayers. Our resident foreman Blade was able to listen to Larry's concern and inspect the area.

 

Bruce noticed the home's crawl space was suffering the most from faulty craftsmanship.  To remedy the problem Balde and his team decided to use SmartJack piers.

 

SmartJack piers are steel beams place strategically along the home's supportive rim joist. The Beams are anchored into the foundational floor with poured concrete and the tops are capped with load-bearing joints that affix to the rim joist.

 

SmartJack is a trusted tool by Ayers because it provides a permeate source of support and not only stops further compromise of the support structures but also corrects the Supportworks over time.

Using PolyLevel to Fix Concrete Slabs in East Leroy, MI

There were huge cracks and uneven spots around Steve's pool. So he called our team and we installed PolyLevel, a waterproof and long-lasting system designed to fix concrete slabs that have sunk by a polyurethane foam. This foam expands and has a high density in order to raise the concrete. The process is quite simple and is done by drilling small holes into the concrete and then inserting the foam into the holes.
