Before & After Photos

One of David's walls in his basement was bowing out about six inches in the middle. So our team decided to install PowerBrace. Outside pressures caused his basement wall to move, however this foundation repair system counteracted these pressures by keeping his basement wall in place. Then, over time, the system was tightened to not only secure his wall in place, but to also straighten it.

This Battle Creek property owner was having some issues with his foundation wall bowing so he called us to find a solution to support the wall and hopefully return it to the original position. We installed GeoLock Channel Anchors to stabilize the wall. Galvanized steel and floor mounts for extra strength, our channel anchors provide an incredible durable solution that will halt all inward movement of your walls. We bore holes in hard packed soil in the yard for earth anchors and steel rods are joined to them through the wall. The channel anchor is then mounted on the other end of the rod inside your foundation wall, secured to the floor, and tightened into place. 

Joel owns a rental property that had some bowing walls in the basement. He was concerned about safety and wanted them fixed so he called us for a solution. We installed GeoLock Channel Anchors to halt any inward movement of the wall. The GeoLock Channel Anchor system starts by drilling holes in the yard for the earth anchors and then drilling holes in foundation for the channel anchor. The earth anchors are galvanized steel that are joined to steel rods which are then connected to the channel anchors inside your foundation wall. The anchors inside your home are mounted to the floor and then tightened into place. This system will permanently stabilize your wall and could return it to its original condition. After the install, we restore the landscaping and basement to the state we found them in.

Elsa and John were looking to repair the storage room inside their home. The couple noticed a breeze from the room, along with foundation cracks. After contacting us at Ayers Basement Systems, an inspection determined Shotcrete would be best for the problem. The couple decided to proceed with the installation, and the crew at Ayers got to work. Shotcrete is a process where rebar is placed on the wall, and then a form of concrete is sprayed onto the wall. This system stabilized the foundation walls and saved Elsa and John from their worries!

Janet and Mark have lived in this house since '95. Janet grew up in this house with her older sibling so she technically has lived there her entire life. The home was built in 1880 and they plan on staying there for at least five more years. She noticed changes in the center support and that it had started to become compromised.  After contacting Ayers, our foreman Evan was able to inspect the area and noticed the worst was a large washout under the wall that also caused the mortar to decay heavily.

Evan and his team decided to put two smart jacks, one on each side of the doorway to reintroduce support into the structure. 

SmartJacks are steel beams vertically placed at strategic points of the rim joist and are anchored into the basement floor with poured concrete. The tops are fixed with loadbearing joints that attach to the rim joist. The height of the Smartjack is adjusted till the system is applying constant pressure, this provides a permanent corrective force to the supportive framework of the home.
