Securing Basement Walls in Kalamazoo, MI

Brian had a wall in his basement that was collapsing so he called our team for help. Our team installed PowerBrace, a foundation repair system. It secures basement walls in place and overtime it will straighten them. Outside pressures can cause damage to your basement walls lick cracks or tilting. This foundation repair system counteracts these pressures by keeping your basement walls in place.

Ian noticed some cracking outside the home with some areas crumbling. He called and explained the situation and added that the floors of his home were uneven. We knew that his problem was a settling home and we knew just the solution to fix it. The Helical Piers stabilize the settling home and can help return it to the correct level.

 

SmartJack Installation in a Basement

The home pictured was experiencing sloping floors. When the owner decided to call Ayers our foreman Blade was able to treat the problem with a noninvasive and permanent solution. The product used is called a SmartJack. Placed at strategic points, the SmartJacks are anchored into the ground of the foundation with poured concrete. The tops are fixed to the ceiling support with load-bearing joints. The apparatus is tightened till constant support reenforces the rim joist.

ShotCrete Seals Kalamazoo, MI Basement

Verbina called Ayers because her basement had cracks throughout all the walls, constantly letting dirt inside. The home was built in 1956 and was vacant for a few years. Our crew came out for an inspection and determined Verbena would need ShotCrete to seal off her foundation. 

Shotcrete is a sprayable concrete that stabilizes basement walls and fills any holes that let in unwanted dirt, water, or air. It’s applied though a high-pressure hose. The extra air propelling the concrete out is what makes the shotcrete able to be applied to vertical and sloping surfaces.  

Verbina was thrilled with the work completed by Ayers Basement Systems and our crews. She was so happy she doesn’t have to deal with the dirt and dust in the basement anymore and can actually use it.
