Before & After Photos

Robert went into his crawl space to see the floor of his house was slanted. Due to his concerns, he called Ayers and asked about our foundation solutions. A team was sent to Robert's home to examine the issue and recommend the best option. Our experts determined the best way to secure the home's foundation was the SmartJack and a supplemental beam. The SmartJack is an additional support system used in crawl spaces to raise slanting floors, and the supplemental beam is used for extra support.

Josh could clearly see that his home was offset. Walking into his home he saw that his patio was slopping down towards the ground. Luckily, Josh was referred to Ayers and was met by our resident foreman Evan. Even inspected the area and had to inform Josh that both the Patio and the Home were offset.

Evan and his team deconstructed the patio and installed helical piers to level the home. Helical piers are long, screw-shaped, metal drives that are driven under the home at an angle. The tops are capped with concrete blocks that the home rests upon. The weight is distributed onto the blocks and reintroduces support to the home's foundation.

Homeowners in Lewiston, MI, noticed troubling signs of settlement in their 1970s home—sloping floors and sticking doors hinted that their cinder block foundation needed serious support. The Ayers team excavated 2x2 ft. areas, backfilled them with engineered fill, and installed SmartJacks for lasting stability. While water intrusion wasn’t a major issue, the homeowners chose to stay ahead by adding a CleanSpace moisture barrier, sealing out potential moisture and brightening up the basement. It is a beautiful transformation, giving this family peace of mind in their home.

A 1992 home needed an update for its egress window. The original egress was dated, drafty, retained water close to the home, and lacked a proper exterior covering. Our foreman swiftly went to work and installed a replacement window, a galvanized steel well, and an exterior window cover. The customers were relieved knowing they wouldn't have to worry about water seeping in through the window anymore.

 A dirty, musty Elkhart basement received an unwanted host of spiders in the crawl space. A 1970s home's unsealed crawl space was letting in water and unwanted pests, mainly spiders. Upon inspection, our systems specialist did not find mold but noticed a heavy smell of mildew, indicating there were cracks that needed to be sealed because insects and moisture were seeping in. The cracks were likely due to the home's unstable foundation. Helical piers were set in place (not pictured) to restore the home to a stable foundation. A vapor barrier was then installed in the crawl space to eliminate moisture and points of entry for spiders.
