Before & After Photos

Albert's old home in Olivet had a collapsing foundation wall in need of a support system to protect the safety of his home. He trusted Ayers for the job, so he gave us a call. Our team concluded that SmartJacks were required to prevent the wall collapse. First, our team had to remove part of the stones that made up this wall to create room for the steel jacks. The tube steel used for SmartJacks consists of a strong triple-layer, in-line galvanizing coating. This foundation repair solution can support loads over 60,000 pounds, and the steel columns rest on a sturdy base within the ground. Albert feels confident with the new foundation support he desperately needs!

Dina's Barn was built in the 1970s with a wood foundation and it has begun to sink. She called Ayers for an inspection and our crew determined that Helical Piers, holding the barn up from the outside, would be the perfect solution. 

Helical Piers are made of steel helix-shaped blades that are screwed into the soil and the piers that can be extended to the appropriate depth. They're attached to the foundation's footing so the weight is evenly distributed and the barn is permanently stabilized. 

Dina was grateful to have the old horse barn fixed up and useable again, and our crew loved spending time with her goats!

Minnie called our team because her floor was starting to sag. In order to halt her sagging floors, we installed SmartJack. Floors above crawl spaces are vulnerable due to the moisture and soils of the crawl sapce, however the SmartJack system is a permanent fix to these issues. It uses steel columns, threaded rods and a solid base to address any issues your crawl space may introduce to your floors. Installing this system usually takes less than a day and it provides immediate stabilization.

Cara and Lee built an inclosed sunroom a few years ago to replace their back porch. Recently, the windows and doors have been sticking, the floors have been sagging, and cracks have appeared in the walls. The different issues they were encountering are usually caused by settlement issues, so Cara and Lee called our team for help. We installed helical piers to stop the settlement and overtime bring the foundation back to its original level. The helical piers were installed deep into the soil underneath the foundation for a quick installation and permanent solution.

The cracks on the foundation walls of this Bremen, IN home were the first signs of a compromised wall structure. By the time we showed up, the walls were bowing due to soil pressure.

We immediately installed these GeoLock wall anchors to help prevent further bowing. These anchors are installed with one plate on the inside of the wall connected via a cable to another plate that is anchored in stable soil around the home. Wall anchors not only provide immediately stability to the walls, we can tighten the cable over time to straighten the walls.

Those white squares you see are covers we install over the steel anchors so they're not an eyesore.
