Before & After Photos

A falling crawl space is never a good thing. That's why this Elk Rapids customer gave us a call. After a free and professional inspection, we determined that the use of our patented SmartJack crawl space stabilizer was necessary to support this crawl space. SmartJack provides supplemental support to crawl spaces and can also often lift failing floor joists or beams, taking them back to their original position. No need to worry about this crawl space any longer!

Water was entering Mecca’s basement so she called our team. We replaced her old window with an egress window. Due to poor insulation around the window, most windows offer minimal protection against outside air entering the home. Egress windows help ventilate your indoor areas and prevent unwanted allergens from entering your house.

Odors were drifting from her crawl space into Cheri’s home, so she called our team for help. We insulated her rim joists in order to completely seal off her crawl space. Small cracks and seams can exist around rim joists, but after insulating them all of those cracks are sealed off. With airtight insulation there is a reduction in heat loss. Therefore, this customer will save on their heating and cooling bills and prevent any odor from entering their home.

Jackie went into her basement and was shocked at how much water was on the floor. Knowing she didn't know how to fix it, she figured it was time to call Ayers. We sent a team of specialists to Jackie's house to inspect her basement and recommend the best solution possible. Upon examination, it was clear Jackie needed the TripleSafe sump pump system. As a system, TripleSafe has three pumps for all circumstances, making the system adaptable and proactive against pump failure. If the first pump should fail, there's a backup, and if the power goes out, there's a battery-powered pump to ensure your system continues working. Jackie is ecstatic to have her basement dry once again!

This crawl space in Presque Isle, MI was experiencing some issues with two walls where blocks were shifting. They had a contractor come in and lift the home but he only ended up making things worse. To paint and even more grim picture, once the problems got bigger, the contractor split. That's when the homeowner called us to fix the issue. The fix for this home was a couple of new steel beams to support the floor above. The beams were held in place by SmartJacks. SmartJacks are incredibly strong and their adjustable. They are a homeowners best option for lifting a sagging floor. Along the walls where blocks were shifting, we used wall anchors and PowerBraces. With wall anchors, large steel plates on the interior are connected to steel Geo-Lock earth anchors outside which help to hold the wall in place and possibly straighten it over time. PowerBraces work great when digging is not an option outside. PowerBraces are a sort of floor-to-ceiling zinc coated steel beam that support the home and offers a unique tightening option to possibly straighten the wall over time.
