Before & After Photos

Thomas had a big crack in his foundation and smaller cracks that were spreading as well. Before matters progressively got worse he decided to make the call to Ayers. We sent a crew out for an inspection and they concluded he could use our BrightWall and PowerBrace solution.

BrightWall is a waterproof, rigid, plastic paneling meant for unfinished basement walls. It will brighten the space and make for a much cleaner appearance, without a full remodeling job. Next with PowerBrace this will address the bowing wall by securing the wall in place with its steel beams that stretch the length of the wall and are installed in the floor at the base of the wall. They are then attached to the joists above the wall.

Thomas was relieved after these installations, now that he has a trustworthy system keeping his vital foundation walls in place!

Mark noticed that during the harsh winter months his basement walls were shifting and bowing so he knew wall support was a need. After calling Ayers we conducted an inspection at his home so we could make the proper recommendations. This recommendation was to install PowerBrace. Outside pressures cause the basement walls to bow or tilt and with this foundation repair system in action, it will counteract these pressures. These steel beams are secured to the joists above the wall and will hold them in place. Over time they can easily be adjusted to straighten these foundation walls as well!

Robert's Jackson, MI home was built in 1920 and was passed onto him and his brother when their father passed away. The brothers wish to sell the home, but knew there were some issues with the foundation and wanted to get maximum value for the home. They called Ayers for an inspection, and our crew discovered that several of the beams in the crawlspace that support the whole foundation were rotting and needed to be replaced. SmartJacks were the perfect solution for them. 

SmartJacks are steel supports that balance the foundation of the crawlspace, lifting it to its original position. They can be adjusted so the home will never shift out of place and are anchored into the ground with poured concrete. 

Robert and his brother were impressed with the level of professionalism by the Ayers crew and were more than satisfied with the installation provided. They feel better knowing they'll be able to sell the house easier and for a higher price. 

A customer was experiencing foundational issues so he called our team. We installed SmartJack, a system that puts a stop to your sagging floors. Due to the moisture and soils in your crawl space, floors above crawl spaces are vulnerable. The SmartJack system provides a permanent fix to these issues by using steel columns, threaded rods and a solid base to address any issues your crawl space may introduce to your floors.

Lias noticed cracks in her foundation and contacted us at Ayers Basement Systems. Our team set up and concluded an inspection; her foundation was bowing inwards, and foundational supports were needed. Our team suggested the PowerBrace system, which utilizes steel columns that attach to the footing of the home and the floor joist above. This system stopped Lisa's foundation from bowing and permanently stabilized it!
