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.

Wall Anchors Save a Bowing Seawall in Granger, IN

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.

Randy had a slanted living room floor, so he tried a store-bought floor jack and exhausted his options in the "DIY" department. His previous attempts to fix the issue didn't work, so he researched his options and called Ayers for help. Our specialists visited his home and recommended installing the SmartJacks supplemental support system. SmartJacks are a collection of floor jacks, zinc plated and hot-dipped in galvanized steel to provide durability. Each base is implanted two feet deep to reduce load-bearing stress and ensure longevity. Randy is happy with his level floor!
