Before & After Photos

Alexandra needed help because her front porch was sinking and cracking. So she called our team and we installed PolyLevel. PolyLevel is a system designed to fix concrete slabs that have sunk by using a new product to lift the concrete slabs back to their original level. The new product used is a polyurethane foam that expands and has a high density in order to raise the concrete. The process is quite simple 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. 

We quickly inspected Marilyn's failing support beams in her crawl space, which desperately required a permanent solution. The wooden beams split due to rotting, so our Ayers team suggested SmartJacks. These jacks consist of galvanized steel for corrosion resistance. We attached them to a supplemental support beam above and rested the jacks on a sturdy base within the floor. SmartJacks can support loads of more than 60,000 pounds. Marilyn now feels assured of the safety of her crawl space support system!

One of Carol's basement walls was bowing. Knowing it would cause more issues in the future, Carol contacted our team. We installed the PowerBrace system in order to keep her walls secure. In addition, over time the system can be tightened to not only stabilize the wall, but to also straighten it to its original position.

Mark had a bowing wall that he wanted fixed so he called our team. We installed PowerBrace, a foundation repair system created to secure basement walls in place. Outside pressures can cause your basement walls to crack or tilt, but this foundation repair system counteracts these pressures by keeping your basement walls in place. Over time, the system can be tightened to not only secure the walls in place, but to also straighten them.

The wall was starting to bow. Stairstep cracks are a tell-tale sign that the soil outside your home is putting too much pressure on the foundation walls.  The owner said that was no cracks in the upper levels of the house, thankfully. 

Wall anchors work well to fix almost any type of bowing wall. They are also installed independently of the floor system so there's no additional stress on floor joists. It works to straighten your wall over time because it can be tightened. The only time this system isn't possible is if there isn't ample room on the outside of your home to install the system.
