Before & After Photos

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!

After the homeowners noticed the stair steps cracks in the before photo on their basement walls, they called us looking for a solution. This was the second time in the last 3 years that they had searched for a bowing wall solution and this time they wanted it to be permanent. Our crew delivered with the Geo-Lock Anchor System in the after photo.

The system stops the bowing motion by countering the pressure being put on the foundation walls. As soils expand, they push the wall inwards. But Geo-Anchors hold the wall in position so it can’t bend anymore. The actual anchors are placed about 15 feet from the home and are connected to the wall plates in the after photo by steel rod tiebacks. Soil pressure put on the walls won’t cause any more movement, and in due time, the walls may even return to their upright position. 

When walls are starting to have settlement problems, they start to move.  This can be very catastrophic if left untouched.  Our customer chose to do some preventative maintenance by adding some support to each wall.  Using CarbonArmor, we are able to help stabilize bowing walls.  On top of the walls, we connect the CarbonArmor to ArmorLock straps that provide supplemental support to existing top wall connections, preventing the walls from leaning.  This helps to keep all of the applied walls nice and stable!  

This Fowler homeowner has a bowing wall in his finished basement. We wanted to fix the wall and give him peace of mind so we installed GeoLock Wall Anchors. The anchor system works by extending from the wall into the hard stable soil outside the home to brace the foundation wall. The GeoLock anchors are installed with minimal disturbance to the lawn, they won't damage the basement, and it doesn't take up usable space.

These homeowners from Fowler, MI called us about their basement wall that began developing cracks. The homeowners braced the wall on their own but knew they needed to seek a permanent fix. They were extremely concerned and called us to seek professional help. We came to their home and installed wall anchors. Wall anchors are perfect for returning the wall back to its original position and reinforcing the entire foundation. We stabilize the home with a steel rod that runs from the wall anchor to an anchor placed in the exterior of the home. Once we place the plates we have permanently stabilized the basement.
