Before & After Photos

A customer from Orleans wanted help with her floors that were starting to droop. We gave her a free estimate and then decided that we need to install Smart Jacks underneath the floor (in the crawlspace) to reinforce the structure of the floor. The SmartJack is a support system used to stabilize and level the floor joists in a crawl space. This system can support up to 60,000 pounds. The SmartJack system is placed on strong concrete fillings that have replaced the soil in that small location underneath the SmartJack. Now this homeowner should never worry again about their droopy floors.

Matts's crawlspace was in desperate need of reliable support. After calling Ayers and having an inspection done, the team at Ayers concluded the floor joist was sagging. Thus, SmartJacks were proposed as they would be the best option for Matt's home. The SmartJack system utilizes a load-bearing base that can withstand over 60,000 pounds! Once the bottom is set, steel columns are cut and attached to the floor joist and base. Once all of the SmartJacks were installed into Matt's home, the floor was raised, bringing permanent structural support to his home!

Donald found his home's block foundation completely misaligned. The damage was so bad he called Ayers for an assessment. Our resident foreman Evan inspected the area and drafted a treatment plan.

Evan and his team installed SmartJack piers. SmartJack piers are metal beams placed strategically along the structure's supportive rim joist. The bottoms are anchored into the ground with poured concrete while the tops are capped with load-bearing joints that are attached to the rim joist. The entire pier's height is adjusted till there is constant pressure being applied, reintroducing support to the entire framework. 

Donald and Meredith’s home was built in 1941. A foundation wall recently fell in, leaving a gaping hole in the side of their Carson City, MI house. The couple called Ayers Basement Systems for an inspection immediately. Our crew determined that they would need SmartJacks and Helical Piers to stabilize the foundation. 

SmartJacks are steel supports that balance the foundation of the crawlspace, lifting it to its original position. They can be adjusted so the home will never shift out of place and are anchored into the ground with poured concrete. Helical Piers are made of steel helix-shaped blades that are screwed into the soil and the piers that can be extended to the appropriate depth. They're attached to the foundation’s footing, so the weight is evenly distributed and the home is permanently sturdy.

Donald and Meredith were ecstatic when we cleared out the old mess of a fallen wall and promptly stabilized their home. They can sleep soundly at night knowing this nightmare is over and they can go back to their lives with more peace of mind. 

We received a call from a customer in Ada, Michigan in regards to their basement walls. We then drove out to their home to give them a free estimate. We noticed that the basement walls were beginning to fail. So, we installed our PowerBrace system. PowerBrace is an adjustable vertical beam used to help correct uneven foundation. The PowerBrace is placed up against the walls. Foreman will come in and tighten them over time in homes. The Power Brace is much better than I-Beam styles because it continuously improves the wall. So now this homeowner will no longer have to worry about unsafe foundation any longer.
