Before & After Photos

Elizabeth’s Jackson, MI, home faced foundation settlement issues, with cracked stone walls and failing support poles in the dirt floor basement. By applying durable shotcrete wall reinforcement and installing SmartJack® supports to lift and stabilize the floors, her foundation is now secure, and her home is protected for the long term.

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!

We answered a call from Candase, a worried homeowner who was unsure what to do about her failing foundation support. We reassured her that after our experts inspected her home, we would be able to solve these issues with one of our foundation repair systems. Our System Design Specialists determined Helical Piers would work best for her particular situation. This system consists of helical plates welded to the pier shaft and will help to pull the pier into the soil during installation. This provides anchoring strength as the weight of the foundation or structural element is transferred to the pier. This solution is very versatile when it comes to stabilizing and restoring foundations. This solution will prevent any further foundation settling and in many cases, it can lift the home back to a level position. Candase will no longer have to stress over her foundation support!

We answered a call from a homeowner in Concord, MI, who noticed his crawl space was sagging. His support structures were failing, so he called Ayers for professional help. Our crew concluded from an inspection that SmartJacks would restore the safety of his home. SmartJacks is an adjustable supplemental support system used for sagging crawl spaces. It will lift the failing floor joists or beams, restoring them to their original positions. The steel columns are attached to a steel beam above and will rest on a solid base in the subfloor. Terry now has a trustworthy system that ensures his home has a stable crawl space that will never sink or sag!
