Before & After Photos

Bill's basement walls were bowing which was causing water intrusion and other issues. So, our team installed CarbonArmor, a wall reinforcing system constructed to repair damaged and bowing foundation walls. CarbonArmor is used to fix your foundation walls by preventing inward movement and reducing the cracks in your walls. This system can easily be concealed for your basement to have a sleek, finished look.

Jim's basement walls were bowing and cracked on the inside and outside of the foundation. He called our team and asked about possible solutions. We installed PowerBrace, a foundation repair system created to secure basement walls in place and overtime it will straighten them. Often outside pressures can cause your basement walls to crack or tilt, 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.  

Jennifer's home had stone basement walls, and she worried that the voids between the stones would allow moisture entry. She needed the problem resolved quickly, so she called Ayers for assistance. Our crew of experts stopped by her home to examine the space and recommend a solution. The team suggested Shotcrete, which applies a concrete or mortar wet spray through a high-pressure hose to fill a form or repair damaged surfaces. Jennifer is happy to be rid of unwanted moisture!

For many of us, the idea of walls closing in on us is a terrifying thought. It’s even more terrifying when there’s the potential for that to come true in your own home.

The walls of this basement in Hopkins, MI were adorned with stair-step cracks and diagonal cracking at the corners—both signs of wall failure. When one of the walls in the basement started to bow, or buckle in the middle, the homeowners knew that things were getting serious.

Our team visited the home and got to work stabilizing the walls using the Power Brace System. These steel beams are fixed to the floor joists, and can be tightened over time to help straighten the walls. The zinc coating on the beams makes them resistant to corrosion, so you can be sure they’ll do their job for years to come. 

This Ionia howeowner called us becuase they were worried about their basement walls. There was a horizontal crack across the wall and it was starting to bow. We decided to install GeoLock Anchors to stabilize the wall. The GeoLock system is made of steel. Steel rods are extending from the wall into hard stable soil to brace the foundation. Wall anchors are installed with minimal disruption to your lawn, won't take up usable space in your basement, and is a long lasting solution to hatling movement in your walls.
