Before & After Photos

MaryLou and Roland called Ayers Basement Systems because their 1968 Okemos, MI basement had some cracking between the blocks of the foundation. The couple recently retired and want to spend their time traveling but need to make sure the home is safe and secure while they're gone. They don't want to worry about coming home to a partially collapsed home. Our crew came out to do an inspection and determined that MaryLou and Roland would need us to install Carbon Armor. 

Carbon Armor is a flexible, fabric like epoxy that is 10x stronger than steel. The epoxy adheres to your basement walls and penetrates into the surface to reinforce and stabilize the home. MaryLou and Roland were thrilled with the work done by the Ayers crew! They cannot wait to enjoy retired life and travel in peace without worrying if their home would be there when they return. 

These homeowners has some cracks in their basment wall and the wall was starting to bow. They wanted a solution to make sure their home was safe and to keep it from getting worse. We installed the GeoLock Wall Anchors to stabilize the basement wall. This system works by extending from your wall to the stable, hard soil beyond your home. They anchor into these stronger soils to brace the foundation wall. These anchors are installed with minimal disruption to your lawn, and they won't damage the interior of your basement or take up usable space.

Don't you hate it when you are walking inside, and the floor boards make sounds? Well this homeowner from Delhi Charter Township had that same issue, and he called us for our professional help. We drove to his property and installed SmartJacks. The SmartJack is a support system used to stabilize and level the floor joists in a crawl space. This system can support up to 60,000 pounds. The SmartJack system is placed on strong concrete fillings that have replaced the soil in that small location underneath the SmartJack. Now that these SmartJacks are installed, this homeowner won't have to worry about floor problems ever again.

Matt, our friend in Granger, IN began noticing that the seawall behind his home was progressively bowing toward the lake. He was growing increasingly concerned that the wall was eventually going to end up falling into the lake. Seeking professional help, Matt called us! We rushed to the rescue and implemented a plan to straighten Matt’s seawall using a series of 17 wall anchors. Wall anchors are perfect for returning a wall back to its original position and reinforcing it. We stabilize the wall with a steel rod that runs from the wall anchor to an anchor placed on the other side of the wall. Once we place the plates we have permanently stabilized the wall. With this solution in place, Matt can rest assured knowing his seawall will eventually return to its original position.

While we were working at his neighbors’ home in Granger, IN Josh came over and introduced himself to our crew. He told us that he had also begun noticing the seawalls bow toward the lake was progressively getting worse. As his neighbor had, Josh began growing increasingly concerned that his portion of the co-owned seawall was eventually going to end up falling into the lake. He admitted he hadn’t known what repair professionals to call but when he watched us work on his neighbor Matt’s portion of the seawall he was impressed! Shortly after fixing Matt’s portion of the seawall, we came back to help Josh stabilize his half of the wall. We prescribed a solution consisting of a series of 16 wall anchors. Wall anchors are perfect for returning a wall back to its original position and reinforcing it. We stabilize the wall with a steel rod that runs from the wall anchor to an anchor placed on the other side of the wall. Once we place the plates we have permanently stabilized the wall. Between Josh and his neighbor Matt’s efforts, this entire giant seawall has been stabilized. Both of these gentlemen can rest assured knowing their co-owned seawall will eventually return to its original position.
