The SmartJack system utilizes a load-bearing concrete base and steel columns that are connected to the floor joist.

Foundation Piers Offer Support to a Problem Area for a Walled Lake, MI, Homeowner

Laura's foundation in the corner of her garage was starting to settle and form holes. She researched foundation repair options nearby and chose Ayers for our years of expertise in the field. Once our crew inspected this problem area, they concluded helical piers were necessary. This solution consists of helical plates welded to the pier shaft. These plates help pull the pier into the soil during installation and provide anchoring strength as the weight of the foundation transfers to the pier. The advantage of this solution is they have the versatility for stabilizing and restoring settling foundations. Laura feels relieved now that her garage foundation is finally permanently addressed!
