Before & After Photos

Valentina set her water bottle on the floor, only to watch it roll to the corner of her living room. It was obvious her floor was slanted, so she called Ayers for help. We sent our team to her house to evaluate the situation and they recommended installing SmartJacks, a supplemental support system of floor jacks. SmartJacks are zinc-plated, hot dipped in galvanized steel and secured two feet in the ground to reduce load-bearing stress. Valentina feels much more balanced!

This crawl space was under both home and exterior deck. When the owners noticed a large crack on the deck’s concrete slab, they began to get a little worried about the foundation. Our system design specialist went out for a visit and found out that the cinderblock foundation was actually starting to sink. With foundation went the floor joists in the crawl space, which was also the floor of the deck. In the after photo, you can see the solution our crew provided: the SmartJack system. The SmartJacks can be raised to whatever height levels out the floor joists above them, and they are also installed into the foundation floor to maintain that stability. No part of this crawl space or the structures that depend on it should sink again.

Cracking in several different places was occurring in Don’s driveway. So our team installed PolyLevel, a system designed to fix concrete slabs that have sunk. It uses a polyurethane foam that expands and has a high density to lift the concrete slabs back to their original level. It is a simple process and is done by drilling small holes into the concrete and then inserting the foam into the holes. Also, the PolyLevel system is waterproof and long-lasting. 

The homeowner in Bangor, MI had a concrete block wall that had moved a few inches and was starting to bow. The home suffered damage from a tornado and a few other unforseen circumstances. The homeowners wanted to use this house as their retirement home so something needed to be done. 

Our professional team installed PowerBraces to support the basement wall and allow for potential straightening over time. The PowerBraces patented system allows for the tightening of the wall to improve the condition of the wall over time. The beams are zinc coated making them resistant to corrosion, reduces abrasion and wear, and creates a non-toxic surface. The beams also have a clean cut apperance. The PowerBrace system utilizes a joist reinforcement method which distributes the load of the home, evenly as to not damage your floor system. 

Thanks to the PowerBrace system, the homeowners wall is well on its way to being fixed! 

Sharon was sick of the bouncy floors that started due to her poor foundation stability. She called Ayers for foundation help and we had a crew check out these issues to develop the best plan. From this inspection our System Design Specialists were able to recommend SmartJacks. These SmartJacks will raise the floors to their original position, stabilizing the home and eliminating the bounce in the floors she hated. This is a supplemental support system made of steel columns that are connected to a solid base in the ground that will provide great strength and stability. Sharon is now assured of her home's safety!
