From Cinder Blocks to SmartJacks in Vicksburg, MI

The before photo shows the cinder blocks that the owners had previously been using to support their crawl space. The crawl space ceiling is also the floor joists for the first level, so when the ceiling is sagging a bit, the floor above is also sloping. In this case, even the supplemental supports beams for the joists had started to lean. As you can see in the after photo, the crew reinforced the floor joists with steel beams that would better support the weight of the floor. Then they added in the SmartJack support system. Once in place and attached to the ground, the jacks were raised to a height that leveled out the floor joists and the floor above. Best of all, if the crawl space ever does begin to sag again, the SmartJacks can be adjusted to a different height. 

Installing Wall Anchors in Vicksburg MI

This Vicksburg homeowner had a crack in his basment wall that had been there for years but it was starting to get worse. The bowing wall was going to eventually push on pipes if it was not fixed. We installed GeoLock Anchors in the basement for a long lasting solution. These wall anchors are made of steel and work by extending from your wall to the stable soil beyond your home. They anchor into these stronger soils and brace the foundation wall, preventing further movement. GeoLock Anchors are installed with minimal disruption to your lawn and do not take up usable space in your basment.

Crawl Space Jacks in Vicksburg, MI

Larry and Sally had an old house and the doors and windows were not closing correctly so they called our team. We installed SmartJack, a system produced to halt your sagging floors. Floors above crawl spaces are vulnerable due to the moisture and soils in your crawl space. 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 home. Installing this system usually takes less than a day and it provides immediate stabilization.

SmartJacks Resolve Weak Foundation Support in Plymouth, IN Home

Fran was looking into getting better foundation support in her basement so she called up Ayers. After we had a crew inspect this area it was settled she could use SmartJacks. With SmartJacks these are steel column support structures that are attached to a solid base at the bottom. This will carry the weight of the home and over time this system will lift the home to its original position.

 

Fran was grateful to get this serious support issue addressed once and for all!
