Before & After Photos

Tilting, bowing, or buckling foundation walls don't stand a chance with our patented PowerBrace foundation wall repair system -- it's a good thing, too, because this family in Grandville, MI desperately needed some foundation support. The PowerBrace system is made of steel I-beams that attach to the joists above your basement wall, stabilizing your foundation. With PowerBrace, this family can now be safe in their basement and, more importantly, their house. 

Debra's support posts have started to corrode and some have slipped out from under the beam. With this happening, the support posts are not being supportive and her floors are starting to sag. We installed SmartJacks so her home could be safe and stabilized! These steel support posts not only keep the floor from sagging even more but they also lift the floors back up to the correct level. 

Steve noticed the cracks in his walls were deepening and hoped to prevent further damage, so he called Ayers for help. We sent our specialists to his home, and they recommended the installation of GeoLock wall anchors. The wall anchors are made of galvanized steel and fastened to the compromised wall. A ground anchor is placed away from the house in undisturbed soil and connected to the wall anchor by a steel rod. Once the whole system is tightened, the foundation wall will be permanently stabilized. Steve feels much more comfortable in his home!

Mike was dealing with cracks in his foundation walls so he gave Ayers a call for possible remedies. Our Ayers System Design Specialists came out for inspection and determined we would install our CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System as the perfect solution for this issue. 

CarbonArmor consists of reinforcing straps made from a fiber-reinforced polymer that's much stronger than steel. These are installed by attaching the straps to the wall with epoxy resin and then secured to the joists above with steel brackets. This wall system will stabilize these important foundation walls and make sure it's secure to protect against future bowing. This system can also be painted to blend in with your walls or even covered with a wall finishing.

Mike was relieved to have these foundation cracks addressed with our CarbonArmor protection!

Travis knew the floor in his living room had a steep slant and decided it was time to fix the problem. After researching his options online, he decided to call Ayers for help. Our team of professionals went to his house to evaluate and recommended installing SmartJacks. As a collection of floor jacks working together, SmartJacks are far more durable than store-bought floor jacks. SmartJacks are hot-dipped in galvanized steel and zinc-plated, while their bases are placed two feet below the surface to reduce load-bearing stress. Travis is happy to have balance!
